Abdominal Aorta01:25

Abdominal Aorta

2.1K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.4K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

16.7K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

7.6K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.2K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

5.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Fish bone ingestion is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal complications.
  • Timely diagnosis is crucial to prevent significant morbidity and mortality.

Observation:

  • Symptoms can be non-specific, and a history of fish bone ingestion may be absent, complicating diagnosis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is essential for identifying fish bone complications.
  • Fish bones are often overlooked unless specifically sought, delaying diagnosis.

Findings:

  • This study presents cases of sub-capsular liver abscess and acute cholecystitis attributed to fish bone ingestion.
  • The fish bone was initially missed as the cause in the emergency setting for these cases.

Implications:

  • Emergency physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for fish bone ingestion in abdominal emergencies.
  • Prompt identification and extraction of the fish bone are necessary to manage these rare complications effectively.
