[Orbital phlegmon: clinical picture, diagnosis]
Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to enhance the efficiency of early diagnosis of orbital phlegmon, by examining its clinical picture and using instrumental studies. Sixty-three patients with orbital phlegmon were treated at hospital in 1985 to 2007. Its diagnosis employed ultrasound and X-ray studies. Orbital phlegmon was diagnosed in 30 patients with orbital injury and 33 patients with inflammatory diseases of the eyelids, face, nasal sinuses, and infection metastasis from septic foci. The disease was characterized by intoxication syndrome, eyelid inflammatory changes, chemosis, exophthalmos, and ophthalmoplegia. The following complications: neuritis, optic nerve ischemia, meningoencephalitis, brain abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, and sepsis were observed. Ultrasound and X-ray (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) studies provide the diagnosis of the disease in early periods and timely medical and surgical treatments.

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
