Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...
Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...
Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption01:22

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

    Summary

    Rhinoplasty in elderly patients can yield satisfactory results with careful patient selection and moderate surgical modifications. This approach offers a viable option for the surgery of aging.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Context:

    • Traditional reluctance to perform rhinoplasty in elderly patients.
    • Increasing interest in aesthetic procedures for aging populations.
    • Need to re-evaluate surgical candidacy criteria for older adults.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of rhinoplasty in elderly subjects.
    • To identify key selection criteria for successful geriatric rhinoplasty.
    • To explore technical considerations and patient acceptance of facial rejuvenation in older individuals.

    Summary:

    • Rhinoplasty in well-selected elderly patients can achieve satisfactory aesthetic outcomes.
    • Careful psychological and anatomical assessment is crucial for geriatric rhinoplasty candidates.

  • Technical modifications, including conservative skeletal adjustments and potential skin resections, are necessary due to reduced skin elasticity.

    • Impact:

    • Challenges the classical contraindication for rhinoplasty in the elderly.
    • Suggests that 'minimal' rhinoplasties are well-tolerated and accepted by older patients.
    • Supports the inclusion of rhinoplasty as a relevant procedure within the scope of geriatric plastic surgery.
