Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.1K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides01:06

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides

671
Repaglinide (Prandin) and Nateglinide (Starlix), known as glinides, are oral insulin secretagogues that stimulate insulin release from pancreatic β cells by closing the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channel). Repaglinide controls insulin release from pancreatic β cells by managing potassium efflux. It shares two binding sites with sulfonylureas and also has a unique site, indicating overlapping mechanisms of action. With a rapid onset and a 4-7 hour duration, it effectively...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral01:16

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Oral

3.1K
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.
Weaning, typically occurring...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

1.7K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Sulfonylureas01:17

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Sulfonylureas

1.1K
Sulfonylureas are oral hypoglycemic agents utilized in treating type 2 diabetes. They are characterized by their unique sulfonylurea chemical structure. The family of sulfonylureas is divided into generations. First-generation sulfonylureas, including tolbutamide (Orinase), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), and tolazamide (Tolinase), trigger insulin release from pancreatic β cells and enhance peripheral tissues' insulin sensitivity. The second-generation members, such as glipizide...

Non-Oral Extravascular Drug Absorption Routes01:15

Non-Oral Extravascular Drug Absorption Routes

535
Non-oral extravascular routes, which encompass sublingual, buccal, topical, intramuscular, and inhalation methods, primarily utilize passive diffusion to transport drugs into the systemic circulation. The absorption rates and effectiveness of these routes depend on the drug's physicochemical properties, as well as the patient's anatomical and pathophysiological state.
Lipophilic drugs that are stable at salivary pH (6) and exhibit minimal binding to the oral mucosa are absorbed more...

Summary

Atopic dermatitis (AD) treatments are sought by patients due to chronic itch. While some natural therapies show promise, topical emollients remain the safest and most effective option for managing this common inflammatory skin condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Integrative Medicine

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • AD is characterized by intense itch, immune dysfunction, and impaired skin barrier.
  • Patients often seek alternative therapies due to concerns about conventional treatment side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review natural therapeutic agents for atopic dermatitis.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of various oral and topical natural treatments.
  • To identify the most effective and safest natural interventions for AD management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on natural agents for atopic dermatitis.
  • Analysis of existing data on oral probiotics, vitamins, oils, Chinese herbals, and Ayurvedic agents.

  • Assessment of safety profiles and efficacy evidence for each agent.

    • Main Results:

    • Oral probiotics show potential but lack sufficient efficacy data.
    • Chinese herbals carry risks of liver failure; Ayurvedic agents may contain heavy metals.
    • Topically applied emollients are identified as the safest and most effective natural agents.

    Conclusions:

    • Current evidence for oral natural therapies in AD is limited and some pose significant risks.
    • Topical emollients represent a safe and effective natural approach for managing atopic dermatitis.
    • Further research is needed to validate the efficacy of promising oral natural agents for AD.
