Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

7.3K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

190
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Functional Groups02:45

Functional Groups

88.0K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

2.5K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.

Mechanical Protein Functions01:58

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.5K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Area of Science:

  • Laryngology
  • Neuroscience
  • Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

  • The larynx is a highly innervated organ crucial for respiration, swallowing, and phonation.
  • Laryngeal dysfunction, including hypersensitivity, contributes to disorders like chronic cough, inducible laryngeal obstruction, muscle tension dysphonia, and globus pharyngeus.
  • These conditions often share overlapping symptoms and sensory dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methodologies for assessing laryngeal dysfunction and hypersensitivity.
  • To highlight the importance of accurate assessment for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
  • To provide an overview of the state of knowledge in laryngeal function assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on laryngeal function assessment.
  • Discussion of various assessment methodologies, from questionnaires to targeted investigations.
  • Examination of methods assessing both sensory and motor laryngeal responses under different conditions.

Main Results:

  • Laryngeal dysfunction and hypersensitivity are increasingly recognized clinical entities.
  • A range of assessment tools are available, varying in complexity.
  • Accurate assessment is vital for differentiating and managing related laryngeal disorders.

Conclusions:

  • Effective assessment of laryngeal dysfunction and hypersensitivity is essential for clinical practice.
  • Further development and validation of assessment methodologies are ongoing.
  • Understanding laryngeal function is key to improving patient outcomes for related disorders.
