Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

8.4K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

742
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

406
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

9.0K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

3.9K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasal granuloma gravidarum (NGG) is a benign vascular proliferation typically appearing during pregnancy.
  • Lesions usually manifest as small growths on the nasal septum or turbinates.
  • Hormonal changes and local irritation are implicated in NGG development.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of a giant nasal granuloma gravidarum.
  • The lesion presented with significant size, exceeding typical presentations.
  • Clinical examination and imaging were used to assess the lesion's extent.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of granuloma gravidarum.
  • The giant NGG required a specific management approach due to its size and location.
  • Successful resolution was achieved through [mention specific management, e.g., surgical excision, medical treatment].

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of NGG presentation and potential size.
  • It underscores the importance of considering NGG in pregnant patients with nasal masses.
  • Effective management strategies for large NGGs are crucial for patient outcomes.
