Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

14.2K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
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,...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

1.1K
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

1.3K
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen01:16

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen

3.0K
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

698
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • External otitis is a prevalent condition among competitive swimmers and divers.
    • Bacterial infections are the primary cause, though fungal infections (otomycosis) and chronic irritation (neurodermatitis) can also occur.
    • This condition, while typically benign and self-limiting, poses a significant risk to athletes' training and careers if neglected.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the common causes and risks of external otitis in aquatic athletes.
    • To emphasize the importance of preventative measures in maintaining an athlete's career.
    • To provide guidance on effective aural hygiene practices for swimmers and divers.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common etiologies of external otitis in swimmers.
    • Analysis of the impact of external otitis on athletic performance and training.
    • Discussion of preventative strategies and recommended aural hygiene protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Bacterial infections are the leading cause of external otitis in this population.
    • Neglecting external otitis can lead to significant disruptions in training and competition schedules.
    • Strict adherence to aural hygiene practices is effective in preventing recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • External otitis is a common and potentially career-jeopardizing condition for swimmers and divers.
    • Preventative measures, focusing on meticulous ear hygiene, are essential.
    • Athletes should be educated on proper ear care to mitigate risks associated with external otitis.
