Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation

Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation

Auscultation, an essential part of a heart examination, is done using a stethoscope. It provides crucial information about heart function and possible heart problems. Due to heart problems, abnormal sounds can be heard during systole or diastole. These sounds include S3 and S4 gallops, opening snaps, systolic clicks, and murmurs.

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding I: Inspection and Percussion

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding I: Inspection and Percussion

Respiratory system abnormalities are a significant concern in healthcare due to their potential to indicate underlying severe conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and pneumonia. These abnormalities can often be detected through physical examination methods like inspection and percussion.
Inspection Findings
During an inspection, several findings may suggest the presence of respiratory distress or disease. Pursed-lip breathing, where exhalation is slowed by...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

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...

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction

IntroductionThe mitral valve, one of the heart's four valves, regulates blood flow. These valves have flaps that open and close to direct blood properly through the heart and body. During each heartbeat, the flaps open for blood to pass through and seal shut to prevent backflow. Specifically, the mitral valve opens to allow blood flow from the heart's upper left chamber to the lower left chamber. It then closes securely as the lower left chamber contracts to pump blood to the body, preventing...

Chambers of the Heart

Chambers of the Heart

The human heart is a complex organ made up of four chambers: the right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. These internal chambers are separated by partitions known as the interatrial and interventricular septa. The exterior of the heart features a groove known as the coronary sulcus that demarcates the atria from the ventricles, while the anterior and posterior interventricular sulci distinguish between the two ventricles.
Deoxygenated blood from the body is received in the right...

Summary

This study found that septal deviation (SD) is associated with a higher incidence of concha bullosa (CB). SD may also influence the development of CB, potentially preventing its formation on the same side as the deviation.

Background:

Septal deviation (SD) and concha bullosa (CB) are common nasal cavity abnormalities.
The relationship between SD and CB, particularly concerning the degree of deviation and pneumatization, requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the incidence of CB in patients with SD.
To correlate the angle of septal deviation with the degree of CB pneumatization.
To compare qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing these correlations.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 672 paranasal sinus CT scans.
Grouping scans based on the presence and side of SD and CB.
Quantitative measurement of SD angles and CB pneumatization degrees.
Qualitative classification of findings.

Main Results:

Overall incidences: SD 47.77%, CB 31.52%.
CB incidence was significantly higher in patients with SD (45.34%) compared to those without (18.95%).
Mean deviation angle was higher in isolated SD compared to SD with unilateral or bilateral CB (P < 0.002).

Conclusions:

Concha bullosa may develop bilaterally in non-deviated noses.
Septal deviation appears to be associated with an increased incidence of unilateral CB, particularly contralateral to the deviation.
SD might inhibit the development of ipsilateral CB.
