Clinical and Case Reports

Case Reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence. Case reports have been playing a pivotal role in medical education, providing a structure for case-based learning and implementation. In medicine, a case report is a detailed report of the symptoms, diagnosis, signs, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. Few other case reports also contain a literature review of other reported cases. Case reports are professional narratives that provide feedback on clinical practice guidelines and offer a framework for early signals of adverse events, effectiveness, and cost. They can be shared for scientific, medical, or educational purposes.

Examples of case report of some diseases:

Case Reports on Orthopedics: It is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of the patients with skeletal deformities disorders of the bones, joints, and muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and also skin. These elements make up the musculoskeletal system. Your body's musculoskeletal system is a complex system of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves allows you to move, work and to be active. Once devoted to take care of the children with spine and the limb deformities, orthopedics now cares for the patients of all ages, from newborns with clubfeet, to the young athletes requiring arthroscopic surgery, to the older people with arthritis.       

Case Reports on Psychology: Psychology is the science concerned with the behavior, in both the human and nonhuman animals. Despite its youth, it is a broad discipline, essentially spanning subject matter from biology to sociology. A psychologist is profession who evaluates and studies the behavior and mental processes. Psychologists have doctoral degrees. They study intersection of two critical relationships one is between brain function and behavior, and another is between the environment and behavior. As scientists, psychologists follow the scientific methods, using careful observation, experimentation and analysis. But psychologists also need to be creative in the way they apply for scientific findings.

Case Report on Primary Care: Primary care is the day-to-day healthcare given by the health care provider. Primary care is that care provided by the physicians specially trained for skilled in the comprehensive first contact and continuing care for persons with any undiagnosed sign, symptom, or health concern not limited by the problem of origin (biological, behavioral, or social), organ system, or diagnosis.                            
A primary care practice serves the patient's first point of entry into the health care system and the continuing focal point for all needed health care and services. Primary care practices provide patients with ready access to their own personal physician or an established back-up physician when the primary physician is not available.
