Nurses require ongoing education on pain management, particularly pharmaceutical agents. However, this education alone is insufficient to substantively improve patients' pain experiences.
The negative association of self-worth and the positive association of hopelessness with pregnancy attempts among young men as well as young women and the association of hopelessness with pregnancy desire among young women raise questions about why pregnancy is apparently valued by youths who rate their social and cognitive competence as low and who live in an environment with few options for material success.
Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical condition in the paediatric population. In 50% of cases it occurs in otherwise healthy children, and in 75% it presents as a localized form. Lymphadenopathy lasting more than 3 months is defined as chronic. Common conditions causing lymph node enlargement include infections, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders. Mycobacteria causing infectious lymphadenopathy are divided into tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Diagnosing mycobacterial disease is complicated, and definitive surgery is the best treatment option for NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis. We present a case of a 2-year-old girl with chronic cervical lymphadenopathy, eventually diagnosed as NTM infection. The diagnostic and therapeutic process was complicated, demanding an interdisciplinary approach and several surgical procedures. The treatment was supported by negative pressure therapy.
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.
