Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult

777
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

201
Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

319
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells01:18

Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells

4.5K
A stem cell is an unspecialized cell that can divide without limit as needed and can, under specific conditions, differentiate into specialized cells.
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood03:34

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

50.0K
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Hoarseness, a common voice change (dysphonia), requires careful evaluation. Initial treatment focuses on voice rest and addressing the cause, avoiding empiric medications unless indicated.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Speech Pathology

Background:

  • Hoarseness, a frequent symptom in primary care, is diagnosed as dysphonia when accompanied by other voice changes.
  • Causes of hoarseness vary widely, including inflammatory, psychiatric, systemic, neurologic, and cancerous conditions, with medication-induced hoarseness being common.
  • Initial assessment involves a targeted history and physical exam to identify potential systemic causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and management approach for hoarseness in primary care.
  • To emphasize appropriate initial treatments and indications for further investigation.
  • To highlight the roles of voice therapy and surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common causes and diagnostic pathways for hoarseness.
  • Emphasis on history, physical examination, and targeted investigations.
  • Discussion of conservative management, voice therapy, and surgical interventions.

Main Results:

  • Voice rest and conservative management are recommended initial treatments for hoarseness.
  • Empiric antibiotics, oral corticosteroids, and proton pump inhibitors are generally not advised.
  • Laryngoscopic evaluation is indicated if the etiology is unclear or conservative measures fail within three months.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of hoarseness involves a systematic approach, starting with conservative measures and escalating to specialized interventions as needed.
  • Voice therapy offers significant benefits for improving voice quality and prophylaxis in high-risk individuals.
  • Surgical intervention is reserved for specific conditions like dysplasia, malignancy, obstruction, or refractory benign pathologies.
