Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

1.0K
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...

Tonicity in Animals

126.3K
The tonicity of a solution determines if a cell gains or loses water in that solution. The tonicity depends on the permeability of the cell membrane for different solutes and the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes in the solution within and outside of the cell. If a semipermeable membrane hinders the passage of some solutes but allows water to follow its concentration gradient, water moves from the side with low osmolarity (i.e., less solute) to the side with higher osmolarity (i.e.,...

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

27.2K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Keystone Species01:39

Keystone Species

25.1K
Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.5K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hairy polyp is a rare benign tumor originating from ectodermal and mesodermal germ layers.
  • Its embryogenesis remains unclear, with a known female predominance.
  • Commonly found in the nasopharynx and oropharynx, presenting symptoms include respiratory distress and feeding issues.

Observation:

  • A seven-year-old patient presented with significant swallowing difficulty.
  • The difficulty was attributed to a large oropharyngeal hairy polyp.
  • Differential diagnoses considered included hemangioma, teratoma, epidermoid cyst, neuroblastoma, and meningocele.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a hairy polyp.
  • The tumor was successfully removed, alleviating the patient's symptoms.
  • This case highlights the oropharynx as a potential location for hairy polyps.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing symptomatic hairy polyps.
  • Further research into the embryogenesis of hairy polyps may elucidate their origins.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on pediatric oropharyngeal hairy polyps.
