Larynx01:21

Larynx

6.4K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Alterations in Respiration II01:30

Alterations in Respiration II

2.5K
There are numerous types of normal and abnormal respiration. Based on ventilatory movements, breathing patterns are classified as regular, deep, or shallow. Examples include Biot's breathing, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, Kussmaul's breathing, hyperventilation, and hypoventilation. Each pattern is clinically significant and aids in evaluating patients.
In Biot's breathing, the respiratory rate and depth are irregular, alternating between periods of deep gasping and apnea. Common causes...

Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

7.7K
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...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2.9K
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

1.3K
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
Thought Disorders
Disorganized and unusual thought processes mark thought disorders in schizophrenia. One key feature is disorganized speech, where an individual's conversation includes...

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation01:31

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding II: Palpation and Auscultation

2.2K
In assessing respiratory abnormalities, palpation and auscultation are critical tools for detecting and interpreting various pathophysiological changes. These techniques provide insight into underlying disorders by evaluating tactile sensations and sounds produced by the respiratory system.
Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pulmonology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement Disorder (PVFMD) is a significant cause of dyspnea.
  • It can be misdiagnosed as or coexist with asthma and other pulmonary conditions.
  • Understanding PVFMD etiology has expanded beyond psychiatric factors to include laryngeal irritants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement Disorder (PVFMD).
  • To discuss the history, terminology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of PVFMD.
  • To highlight the role of laryngeal irritants in the etiology of PVFMD.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on PVFMD.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses.
  • Exploration of treatment modalities, including Laryngeal Control Therapy.

Main Results:

  • PVFMD is a treatable cause of dyspnea when accurately diagnosed.
  • Laryngeal Control Therapy is highly effective for PVFMD management.
  • Comorbidities such as laryngopharyngeal reflux, allergic/sinus disease, sicca, and OSA are relevant to PVFMD.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of PVFMD is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Management of contributing laryngeal irritants and comorbidities is essential.
  • PVFMD requires a multidisciplinary approach involving pulmonologists and speech-language pathologists.
