Oral Drug Delivery Systems: Delayed-Release Systems01:11

Oral Drug Delivery Systems: Delayed-Release Systems

Delayed-release drug delivery systems are specialized pharmaceutical formulations designed to postpone the release of active compounds until the drug reaches a specific region of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, typically the intestine. These systems are essential for drugs that may cause gastric irritation, are unstable in acidic environments, or need to exert therapeutic effects locally in the intestinal or colonic regions.The core feature of delayed-release systems is the use of enteric...
Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...
Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...
Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Foreign body ingestion in children is a common emergency.
  • Delayed presentation of ingested foreign bodies can lead to severe complications.
  • Partial dentures pose unique risks due to their size and shape.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique case of delayed presentation of a swallowed partial denture.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and management challenges associated with foreign body ingestion.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely evaluation in cases of suspected foreign body ingestion.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a young patient with a swallowed partial denture.
  • Diagnostic evaluation included direct laryngoscopy and contrast swallow.
  • Surgical removal under general anesthesia was performed.

Main Results:

  • A partial denture was successfully removed from the esophagus.
  • The patient recovered well and was discharged after six days.
  • Esophageal perforation was ruled out post-procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Delayed presentation of foreign body ingestion requires prompt ENT and surgical consultation.
  • Direct laryngoscopy is an effective method for removing esophageal foreign bodies.
  • Early exclusion of complications like esophageal perforation is crucial for patient management.
