Superior laryngeal nerve

Glaucoma Glaucoma is a condition caused by high pressure inside the eye. The pressure in the eye is raised because fluid (aqueous humor) within the eye cannot get out through the normal drainage system. The increased pressure can cause damage to the nerves of the eye. This can result in loss of vision. It is important to diagnose glaucoma early before damage occurs. Early treatment can often prevent vision loss. There are two main types of glaucoma: • Open-angle glaucoma. This is a chronic…

Optic Neuritis is a condition where the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain, becomes inflamed. Most of the damage is done to the protective myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve, which is vital for good vision. A few symptoms that occur to people who have Optic Neuritis are: distorted color vision, blurriness, pain, and even vision loss. During a routine eye exam, a doctor will look for signs of Optic Neuritis by checking the eye pressure. The eye will be…

anatomical map of structures such as the phrenic nerve is vital for medical treatments. G.S. Muller Botha mapped the phrenic nerve and described her findings in The Anatomy of the Phrenic Nerve Termination and the Motor Innervation of the Diaphragm. Sleep apnea is a common disorder caused by under stimulation of the diaphragm from the phrenic nerve, O. Oldenburg and team described alternative treatments for the apnea in Effects of unilateral phrenic nerve stimulation on tidal volume. Lastly,…

difficult airway algorithm should be used as a guideline.14 ETT tubes should be prepared at half a size smaller in case of laryngeal edema and with two sets of each size in case one becomes blocked by clots. Rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) with cricoid pressure and a low dose of the induction agent are considered in patients with hypovolemia. Use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is reported to be successful in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage after initial ETT attempts fail.15,16 By…

hepatic portal vein was dark red. The hepatic vein showed color change at 44 seconds with a final color of bright red. The superior mesenteric artery changed color at 51 seconds with a final color of brown. The fasting data with the effective hormone glucagon indicated color change in the hepatic vein at 46 seconds. The final color of the hepatic vein was burgundy. The superior mesenteric artery showed color change at 1 minute and 2 seconds with a final color of light brown. The hepatic portal…

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Depending on the anatomical position of the body part, certain prefixes, and suffixes are utilized in order to find its location verbally. These prefixes and suffixes can be described by the: size of the muscle, location of the muscles, direction of the muscle fibers, amount of origins, shape of a muscle, and location of a muscle origin/insertion.…

Autism Autism spectrum disorder refers to a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication that begin at a young age, which commonly exhibits repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (Xiao et al., 2014). This pervasive developmental disorder is more prevalent in males than in females and has recently gained more attention because of its rapid increase in prevalence (Xiao et al., 2014). Today, it is estimated that 69.5 per…

Use of Whipple Pancreaticoduodenectomy in a 54-Year-Old Male with Pancreatic Cancer Alex McColloster UNTHSC TEXAS COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE CASE REPORT SURGERY CORE CLINICAL CLERKSHIP Introduction Pancreatic cancer remains a highly lethal malignancy due to its clinically silent nature. Patients most often present with jaundice due to compression of the common bile duct, pain that develops insidiously and weight loss. Treatment is accomplished surgically;…

Endoscopic Saphenous Vein Harvesting Endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting (EVH) is a procedure to remove part of the saphenous vein in your leg. The saphenous vein is also called the great saphenous vein or the long saphenous vein. This vein runs from the inside of your ankle, up along the inside of your knee, and up to your groin. It returns blood from your leg to your heart. This vein is used to make a detour (bypass) around a blocked heart artery. EVH is done as part of heart surgery.…

Georgina Casey, nursing lecturer at Auckland University of Technology, writes that bioelectronic medicine is an internal or external therapy that targets a particular area of the body and disrupts action potentials through electrical impulses, affecting nerve function. This has elicited numerous novel treatments, notably…
