We conducted a literature review to highlight the diagnosis and treatment of hand flexor tendon injuries and discuss the current state of the science of hand surgery in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We reviewed the Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, and National Center for Biotechnology Information databases and other printed sources for open access articles in three languages. We accepted relevant scientific articles that reflected the peculiarities of restoring function of the tendon flexors of the hand. We reviewed articles from the present to the previous 20 years and included 31 of these sources in our literature review. The medical examination of a patient who has sustained a flexor tendon injury should be thorough and gradual, supported by ultrasound and X-ray examination. For effective restoration of hand function following a hand injury, it is important for the surgeon to conduct a step-by-step assessment of the damage that has occurred to soft tissues, superficial and deep tendons, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. The main goal of tendon repair is to preserve tendon function. It is also known that early postoperative tendon movement leads to faster healing. The most frequent complications associated with flexor tendon repair include the development of adhesions, wound infection, tendon rupture, impaired hand function, and scar formation. Relative to the state of the science in the Republic of Kazakhstan, we conclude that hand surgery should be performed by highly skilled specialists in the field of microsurgery in a specialized department with microsurgical equipment.
我们进行了一项文献综述,重点介绍了手屈肌腱损伤的诊断和治疗,并讨论了哈萨克斯坦共和国手外科的现状。我们查阅了Google Scholar、PubMed、Web of Science、Elsevier和国家生物技术信息中心的数据库以及其他三种语言的开放获取文章的印刷来源。我们接受了相关的科学文章,这些文章反映了手屈肌肌腱恢复功能的特点。我们回顾了从现在到过去20年的文章,并在我们的文献综述中纳入了其中的31个来源。屈肌腱损伤患者的医学检查应该是彻底和渐进的,并辅以超声波和X光检查。为了在手部受伤后有效恢复手部功能,外科医生必须对软组织、浅肌腱和深肌腱、骨骼、神经和血管的损伤进行逐步评估。肌腱修复的主要目的是保持肌腱的功能。众所周知,术后早期肌腱运动可加快愈合速度。屈肌腱修复最常见的并发症包括粘连、伤口感染、肌腱断裂、手功能受损和疤痕形成。根据哈萨克斯坦共和国的科学状况,我们得出结论,手部手术应由显微外科领域的高技能专家在配备显微外科设备的专业部门进行。

Surgery can trigger high levels of anxiety in preoperative patients. If this anxiety is not managed effectively, it can disrupt the surgical plan. Preoperative nurses can help prepare patients for their surgical experience by implementing interventions that reduce the stress that causes preoperative anxiety. One intervention that can be used to manage preoperative anxiety is hand massage. We report our experience with Mr. S, a 34-year-old man scheduled for surgery to remove a lump in his left upper back. The lump appeared approximately 3 years ago. It was initially small, but enlarged over time. The patient sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with a soft tissue tumor (STT) of his left scapula. His surgeons recommended surgical excision of the tumor. Our study aimed to determine the effect of hand massage on reducing anxiety in a preoperative patient with a diagnosis of STT of the scapula.

This article articulates core facility recommendations for regulated health care providers and professionals performing medical aesthetic procedures involving the use of topical and local anesthesia in a private clinic setting in Canada. The recommendations help ensure patient safety, confidentiality, and ethics. Information is provided about the setting/environment where medical aesthetic procedures are performed, safety equipment and emergency medications that should be on-site for medical aesthetic procedures, infection prevention and control measures, the way that medications and medical supplies should be stored, how to handle biomedical hazardous waste, and how to protect patient information.

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare entity characterized by a congenital localized absence of the skin, dermal appendages, and subcutaneous tissue. The cause of ACC is not clear, but inheritance is the most widely accepted cause. We report a rare case of a full-term (37 + 5 weeks) female newborn who showed complete absence of skin in localized areas of the upper and lower extremities. The patient was diagnosed with ACC associated with epidermolysis bullosa (EB; a disease that causes the skin to blister easily) and was initially treated using conservative measures. We applied mupirocin topical ointment and a nonocclusive polyester mesh impregnated with hydrocolloid and petroleum jelly daily. Complete healing of the affected areas occurred after 3 weeks. Managing patients with ACC is often challenging and based on the severity of the lesions, the approach may include both surgical and conservative treatment. Our case report suggests that a conservative approach can be effective for managing certain types of ACC and EB lesions. However, further research is warranted to better understand the pathogenesis and optimal management of this entity.
