The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

5.9K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Language Development01:22

Language Development

1.0K
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

3.5K
The oral stage is the initial phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, occurring from birth to approximately 12 to 18 months. During this period, the infant's mouth serves as the primary source of pleasure, with actions such as sucking, chewing, biting, and drinking playing a crucial role in reducing tension. These activities are essential not only for nourishment but also for the infant's psychological and emotional satisfaction.

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.4K
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.

Larynx01:21

Larynx

5.5K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Neonatal care
  • Surgical interventions

Background:

  • Ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue-tie, is a condition affecting infants.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing associated complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of ankyloglossia in a neonatal population.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and management strategies for infants diagnosed with ankyloglossia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for infants under 6 months of age.
  • Data collected on diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of ankyloglossia was found to be 0.52% (134 out of 25,786 infants).
  • Infants with breastfeeding difficulties were diagnosed earlier than asymptomatic infants (P<0.05).
  • Frenotomy was performed on 85.9% of symptomatic infants, yielding satisfactory results; 70 asymptomatic infants received conservative management.

Conclusions:

  • Frenotomy is a safe and effective surgical procedure for infants experiencing symptoms of ankyloglossia.
  • Conservative management with counseling is an option for asymptomatic infants.
