In this lecture Professor Kristin Beach, MSN, BSN, RN will be presenting on Raynaud's Phenomenon. Raynaud's can be defined as a vasospastic condition resulting from cold weather that decreases the blood flow to the fingers, toes, nose, and ears. Raynaud's is further classified as either primary or secondary. Primary Raynaud's most commonly occurs in younger females with no underlying disease and is referred to as a phenomenon. Secondary Raynaud's is usually due to an underlying autoimmune disease like Scleroderma, or RA, which is why clinicians term this kind as a disease or syndrome. Overall, Raynaud's causes skin color changes and if severe enough, can lead to necrosis of a digit requiring amputation. However, this phenomenon is most frequently benign, requiring no treatment with self-resolution. We hope you enjoy this lecture

In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Rotator Cuff Tear. During this lecture we will be starting with the anatomy of the shoulder and talking about the muscles that make up the rotator cuff. Next we move into the causes, pathophysiology, and clinical features of a rotator cuff tear. We will then be moving into the diagnosis of a rotator cuff tear along with a clinical exam on our patient Q! During our clinical exam we will be going through the inspection, palpation, range of motion, strength, and special tests for a suspected rotator cuff tear. We will conclude this lecture with the treatment of a rotator cuff tear including the surgical options available. We hope you enjoy this lecture and be sure to support us below!
