Term 1 of 71
What is Raynaud's disease?
a disease that causes the veins to become inflamed
vasospastic condition - vasoconstriction of small capillaries resulting in the loss of blood
circulation
a disorder where blood vessels become permanently blocked
a condition characterized by excessive blood flow to the extremities
Definition 2 of 71
recurrent attacks may prevent complete recovery of the joint between attacks, gradually leading
to the development of crippling, destructive arthritis.
- can mimic RA
Treating Acute Gout
Acute Gout
Chronic Gout
Rheumatoid Nodules
,Definition 3 of 71
Atrophy is more apparent distally & increases with increased severity of neuropathy.
This causes biomechanics & structural changes in plantar foot muscles.
Atrophy of lumbricals & interosseous can lead to toe deformities including clawing and
hammering of digits
Congenital Myopathy
Myotonic Dystrophy
Motor Neuropathy
Define Telangiectasia
Term 4 of 71
What can contribute to reduced blood flow to the peripherals?
1) Hypohidrotic skin
2) Reduced hair growth
3) General thickening of nails
4) Limb temperature
5) Pulselessness
6) Change in skin colour
- Autonomic dysfunction characterised by a decrease in sensation & function from impulses
from CNS to organs
Effects involuntary body functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration &
digestion
- This damage disrupts signals between the brain and portions of the ANS
- Causes sudomotor dysfunction - anhidrosis
- Orthostatic hypotension
- Tachycardia
The presence of chronic rest pain indicated CLI - a standard vascular screening should be
completed and then the patient should be referred to the GP for a duplex scanning and
consultation with a vascular surgeon
- Atherosclerosis - is a chronic, progressie, multifocal disease of the vessel wall intimal
within arteries
- It leads to an atheroma or plaque formation causing intimal thickening & lipid
accumulation
,Term 5 of 71
Explain what hyperthyroidism is
1) Direct:
- absorbing dressings
- compression/elevation to eliminate fluid from wound
- topical negative pressure with device such as VAC
2) Indirect
- control of infection or bacterial load
- control of oedema by systemic therapy
- use of immunosuppressive medication
Prevention should not commence in an acute attack as it can prolong symptoms.
1) Allopurinol plus NSAID for at least 3 months then allopurinol alone
- LDLs build up
- Formation of plaque, which reduces flow
- If damaged causes rupture of arteries
- Forms thrombus
- Blocks flow
- leads to tissue schema
- Myocardial infraction
Hyerthyroidism is an overactive thyroid - overproduction of the thyroid hormones.
* symptoms include a thyroid goitre, protruding eyes, palpitations, excessive sweating and
sensitivity to heat
, Term 6 of 71
What are the clinical signs and symptoms of IC?
- education
- resist urge to scratch
- calamine lotion
- avoid cold/exposure
- gentle exercise
1) IC is characterised by the presence of aching, cramp-like pain and tiredness
2) Pain is usually located in a specific compartment - frequently the calf muscles
- Surgical
- Sharp
- Larval
- Enzymatic
- Autolytic
- mechanical
- can use a combination
Pain is felt when the accumulation of metabolic by-products within the muscle is at high
enough concentrations to activate pain receptors
More exercise results in more pain
Definition 7 of 71
- a wound in which sharp debridement may expose bone, joint or tendon
- a wound in which autolytic debridement has failed
as a secondary debridement method after sharp
Larval therapy is indicative
define Poly-sorbitol pathway
Define Type 1 diabetes
How can we monitor a wound is healing?
