An apparently intoxicated 23-year-old woman attempted to tackle her boyfriend by jumping from the handrail outside her second-st

ory apartment. The boyfriend dodged her tackle and was not injured. The woman has severe pain in both feet and an obvious deformity in her lower left leg at the ankle. Witnesses tell your partner that she landed flat-footed. During a secondary survey, you discover that the capillary refill time in the toes of her left foot is nearly 4 seconds. You should: A) place her in a pneumatic antishock garment (PASG) to help immobilize the ankle. B) apply gentle traction to the bone injury and splint the ankle with a padded rigid splint. C) apply a pillow splint around her ankle. D) lower her foot from the stretcher to improve blood flow.

Answer: B) apply gentle traction to the bone injury and splint the ankle with a padded rigid splint.

Explanation:

Capillary refill time is the time taken by the capillary bed to change color from red to complete blanching. It can be measured by holding the hand to a level higher than the heart level and by applying pressure over the soft pad of fingers and observing the color change. Normal capillary refill time is 2 seconds.  

A capillary time of 4 seconds indicates that capillaries are not functioning properly and blood is not reached immediately over the feet. Thus application of traction can help by pulling the fractured body part.  The split is a medical device which can provide support to the ankle.

Development of cognitive instruments for use in clinical trials of antidementia drugs: additions to the Alzheimer's Disease Asse
7nadin3 [17]

Development of cognitive instruments for use in clinical trials of antidementia drugs:Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS).

What is Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study?

The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) cognitive assessment procedure was created to investigate the validity and reliability of cognitive assessment tools that could be useful additions to the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS) or other short batteries used in antidementia medication studies. Patients with mild to moderate AD and elderly individuals with normal cognitive function underwent a battery of five tests at least three times over the course of a year as part of an overall ADCS protocol to create new instruments for use in clinical trials of treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The main result of this inquiry was the discovery of certain prospective additions to the current ADAS that broaden the scope of the cognitive domains and symptom severity levels addressed.
