Disorders of Acid-Base Balance

Disorders of Acid-Base Balance

The human body maintains a precise pH range of arterial blood between 7.35 and 7.45. Deviations result in either acidosis (pH < 7.35) or alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These conditions are further classified as respiratory or metabolic disorders based on their underlying cause.
Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis occurs due to an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide PCO2 in the blood. It often arises from shallow breathing or impaired gas exchange caused by...

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis

Diagnosing acid-base imbalances involves systematically analyzing arterial blood samples, focusing on three key measurements: pH, bicarbonate (HCO3−) concentration, and carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2). This analysis follows a four-step process that helps identify the imbalance's underlying cause and nature.
First, the pH level is assessed to determine whether the blood pH is normal (7.35–7.45), low (acidosis), or high (alkalosis).
Next, the PCO2 and HCO3− values are examined to...

Base Excision Repair

Base Excision Repair

One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Homeostatic Imbalance

Homeostatic Imbalance

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within the body, which is crucial for the proper functioning of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. The body has various control mechanisms that work together to regulate various physiological parameters such as temperature, blood pressure, pH balance, and fluid balance, to name a few. These control mechanisms are based on feedback loops that can be either positive or negative.
However, sometimes these feedback loops fail,...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Rhinoplasty planning often neglects the nasal base, leading to irreversible functional issues. This article presents a simplified classification of alar base disharmonies to guide surgical correction.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Facial Anatomy
Surgical Planning

Background:

The nasal base is a critical but frequently overlooked component in rhinoplasty.
Improper correction of alar base disharmonies can result in irreversible aesthetic and functional deficits.

Observation:

Common alar base disharmonies present distinct challenges in rhinoplasty.
Accurate recognition of these disharmonies is essential for successful surgical outcomes.

Findings:

This article introduces a simplified classification system for common alar base disharmonies.
The classification aids in identifying specific alar base flaws encountered during rhinoplasty.

Implications:

Facilitates the selection of appropriate surgical techniques for alar base correction.
Aims to improve functional and aesthetic results in rhinoplasty by addressing nasal base issues.
Enhances surgical planning and patient outcomes in reconstructive and aesthetic nasal surgery.
