Work-related burns.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Work-related upper extremity burns often occur. The cause directs the course of action. Thermal burns should be assessed for system alterations, and depth of burn should be determined. Deep partial-thickness burns and more severe burns require a specialist evaluation. Chemical burns must be irrigated and the agent identified. Some chemical burns, such as those that involve phenols and metal fragments, require specific topical applications before water lavage. Hydrofluoric acid burns can cause life-threatening electrolyte abnormalities with a small, highly concentrated acid burn. The goal with any extremity burn is to p...

Occupational hand infections.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of hand and upper extremity infections is imperative because they have the potential to be life threatening and pose a risk of functional impairment. Serious infections may result in prolonged hospitalization and resultant loss of productivity. The mainstay of treatment continues to be antibiotic therapy, heat, elevation, adequate surgical drainage, and débridement. Prompt specialty consultation should be obtained in cases in which there is a doubt about the diagnosis or when there is failure to improve in the face of seemingly appropriate treatment.

Ligament injuries of the hand and wrist.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The human hand is one of the most amazing instruments we possess. Ligament injuries to the hand and wrist are common occupational injuries. These injuries can be diagnosed using thorough history and physical examination skills in conjunction with diagnostic imaging. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of these injuries are crucial, because many injuries heal with minimal decrease in function if they are treated early without allowing them to become chronic. When these injuries are discovered late, not only does treatment become more difficult but also traumatic arthritis frequently develops. A brief anatomic description fol...

Ergonomic considerations in work-related upper extremity disorders.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Correctly applied, an ergonomics approach can reduce the likelihood of work-induced disorders and can assist in accommodating individuals who have work-related disorders, but it cannot eliminate disorders that have been mistakenly attributed to work by social processes. A contextual model of work-related upper extremity disorders is proposed that explicitly acknowledges that factors extrinsic to work can shape perceptions of upper extremity disorders and influence the process of somatic interpretation and health outcomes. Experiences in the United Kingdom of ergonomic regulations associated with computer use and the me...

Prevention of delayed recovery and disability of work-related upper extremity disorders.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is always a psychological component to any illness or injury, and unless it is appropriately addressed, such factors can complicate or delay the recovery from a work-related illness or injury. When a worker experiences delayed recovery and unexpected disability, significant contributing psychosocial factors must be assessed for and managed appropriately. A maladaptive belief or understanding about the condition and disability by a patient presents an obstacle to successful treatment. Using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques may be an effective means of managing this challenge for the clinician. PMID: 166...

Determining causation of work-related upper extremity disorders.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To determine causation in work-related upper extremity disorders, one must appreciate the philosophical constructs used in establishing causation and have clear definitions of the disorder in question. The preponderance of evidence does not support repetition as a major risk factor for physical injury. Terms such as "repetitive stress," "repetitive strain," and "cumulative trauma" should be abandoned, and we should educate our patients as to the multiple risk factors for upper extremity pain.

Patient selection.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Patient selection is the process by which an evaluating surgeon decides whether to accept responsibility for the care and treatment of a potential patient. It is assumed the physician has the requisite knowledge to assess the anatomic disorder and the technical ability to render appropriate care if needed. The aim of this article is to help the less experienced health care professional sort out which patients, either by true psychological disorder or personality and behavioral traits, pose the highest risk of a poor outcome. An unsatisfactory outcome can be measured not only by failure to resolve the disorder but also ...

Tobacco and HIV.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The risks to an HIV-infected person who smokes are dramatically amplified compared with the general population. Smoking has been shown to be an independent risk factor for non-AIDS-related mortality in patients who have HIV, even in patients who receive highly active antiretroviral therapy. It has been independently associated with lower scores for quality-of-life indices, such as general health perception, physical functioning, bodily pain, energy, and cognitive functioning. Over time, considering the significant pathology elicited by tobacco, it is hoped that smoking cessation will help reduce the risks of lung disea...
