Fracture and Fatigue
Fragility Fracture Nursing
Author: Karen Hertz
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319766813
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This open access book aims to provide a comprehensive but practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture. It considers this from the perspectives of all of the settings in which this group of patients receive nursing care. Globally, a fragility fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. This amounts to 25 000 fractures per day or 9 million per year. The financial costs are reported to be: 32 billion EUR per year in Europe and 20 billon USD in the United States. As the population of China ages, the cost of hip fracture care there is likely to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2020 and 265 billion by 2050 (International Osteoporosis Foundation 2016). Consequently, the need for nursing for patients with fragility fracture across the world is immense. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers, and the impact of each one of those expected 9 million hip fractures is significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence and decreased life expectancy. There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention based on the increasing evidence that such models make a difference. There is also a need to promote and facilitate high quality, evidence-based effective care to those who suffer a fragility fracture with a focus on the best outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation and secondary prevention of further fracture. The care community has to understand better the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of the patient so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. This book supports these needs by providing a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in fragility fracture care.

Training, Muscle Fatigue, and Stress Fractures
Author: Clinton T. Rubin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
The sharp rise in physical demands initiated during basic training all too frequently will precipitate stress fractures in the lower appendicular skeleton of new recruits. During peacetime, stress fractures are by far the most common physical injury in the military population, and are responsible for the military's greatest drain of both lost recruit time and medical expense. The objective of this three year research program is to study the etiology of the stress fracture lesion, and isolate any aspects of a physical regime which may exacerbate this condition. To perform this mission, we are persuing two parallel experimental protocols: a) the effect of muscle fatigue on bone strain distributions and, b) the effect of repetitive cyclic loading on bone remodeling. The summation of these two protocols has already provided unique insight towards the effect of new strain regimens on skeletal remodeling, and almost certainly will isolate and identify specific activities which may accelerate the pathogenesis of this condition. Keywords: Stress physiology, Bone fractures, Fatigue physiology.

Fracture and Fatigue Control in Structures
Author: John M. Barsom
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780803145412
Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Annotation An introduction for practicing engineers or students at the beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate level, emphasizing the application of fracture mechanics to preventing fracture and fatigue failures in structures, rather than the theoretical aspects of the field. The topics include stress analysis for members with cracks, resistance forces, fatigue crack initiation, and fitness for service. Among the case studies are bridges, oil tankers, and steel casings. The earlier editions were in 1977 and 1987. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
