This is a comprehensive literature review regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of snapping hip syndrome (SHS). It covers the diverse etiology of the syndrome and management steps from conservative to more advanced surgical techniques.
Recent FindingsRecent advances in imaging modalities may help in diagnosing and treating SHS. Additionally, arthroscopic procedures can prove beneficial in treating recalcitrant cases of SHS and have recently gained popularity due to their non-invasive nature.
Background: Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) and hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) are the most common musculoskeletal complications reported in patients with stroke. These secondary problems present considerable challenges to the rehabilitation of the upper limb. Objective: The aim of this review was to evaluate the evidence on the association between shoulder subluxation and pain in patients with stroke. Method: A systematic online search was conducted of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, Biomed Central, and the Cochrane Library. The search was supplemented by hand searching of relevant journals and citation tracking of the retrieved papers. All primary studies published in English language fulfilling the review's inclusion criteria were included. Five reviewers independently appraised the methodological quality of the selected studies. Any discrepancies were resolved following discussions. Results: Of the 148 articles that were identified by the search, 14 studies met the criteria to be included in the review. Seven studies found an association and seven studies did not find an association between subluxation and pain. The methodological quality of the studies varied considerably and studies used a wide range of outcome measures to assess both subluxation and pain. Conclusions: Irrespective of any association, both subluxation and pain can independently have an impact on functional rehabilitation. Management of these clinical outcomes is critical in clinical practice and clinicians should continue to prevent and reduce these post-stroke secondary complications to enhance upper limb function.
Background: Registered nurses perform numerous functions critical to the success of antimicrobial stewardship but only 63% of pre-registration nursing programmes include any teaching about stewardship. Updated nursing standards highlight nurses require antimicrobial stewardship knowledge and skills.
Aim:To explore the delivery of key antimicrobial stewardship competencies within updated preregistration nursing programmes.
Method:A cross-sectional survey design. Data was collected between March and June 2021. Findings: Lecturers from 35 universities responsible for teaching antimicrobial stewardship participated. The provision of antimicrobial stewardship teaching and learning was inconsistent across programmes with competencies in infection prevention and control, patient centred care, and interprofessional collaborative practice taking precedent over those pertaining to the use, management, and monitoring of antimicrobials. On-line learning and teaching surrounding hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and immunisation theory was reported to have increased during the pandemic. Only a small number of respondents reported that students shared taught learning with other healthcare professional groups.
Conclusion:There is a need to ensure consistency in antimicrobial stewardship across programmes, and greater knowledge pertaining to the use, management and monitoring of antimicrobials should be included. Programmes need to adopt teaching strategies and methods that allow nurses to develop interprofessional skill in order to practice collaboratively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
