Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

4.4K
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

13.9K
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...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

680
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...

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure01:03

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure

13.6K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis01:23

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

977
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract01:29

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

6.0K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract....

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasoalveolar cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue lesions.
  • They arise from epithelial remnants of the nasolacrimal duct.
  • Clinical presentation includes facial fullness, palatal swelling, and nasal obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of bilateral nasoalveolar cysts.
  • To discuss clinical features and treatment of these cysts.
  • To review the existing literature on nasoalveolar cysts.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with nasal obstruction.
  • Diagnosis of bilateral nasoalveolar cysts.
  • Treatment via sublabial excision.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with nasal obstruction.
  • Bilateral nasoalveolar cysts were diagnosed.
  • Successful treatment was achieved through sublabial excision.

Conclusions:

  • Nasoalveolar cysts are developmental lesions requiring appropriate management.
  • Sublabial excision is an effective treatment option.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing cosmetic and functional concerns.
