Accessory Organs01:31

Accessory Organs

71.4K
Accessory organs are those that participate in the digestion of food but do not come into direct contact with it like the mouth, stomach, or intestine do. Accessory organs secrete enzymes into the digestive tract to facilitate the breakdown of food.

Accessory Structures of the Eye

2.1K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands

2.9K
Sweat glands or sudoriferous glands are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are small, coiled tubular structures located in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. Sweat glands are responsible for producing and secreting sweat, a watery fluid that helps regulate body temperature and excrete waste products.
Sweat glands are classified as merocrine glands; that is, the secretions are excreted by exocytosis through a duct without affecting the cells of the gland. There...

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

2.8K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System

The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

This summary is machine-generated.

A young adult male with antiphospholipid syndrome developed an intrahepatic inferior vena cava thrombus. Imaging revealed hepatic venous outflow obstruction, suggesting Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to thrombosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Immunology

Background:

  • A young adult male presented with a pyogenic liver abscess, treated successfully with antibiotics.
  • Follow-up imaging revealed an intrahepatic inferior vena cava thrombus, leading to anticoagulation with warfarin.

Observation:

  • The patient was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome, characterized by lupus anticoagulant positivity and high beta-2 glycoprotein antibody levels.
  • Current review showed no signs of chronic liver disease but noted dilated superficial veins and mild hepatomegaly.
  • Liver function tests indicated mild cholestasis with hyperbilirubinemia, without synthetic dysfunction.

Findings:

  • Multiphase abdominal CT and hepatic venography were performed to evaluate hepatic venous outflow.
  • The investigations aimed to diagnose the cause of cholestasis and assess the extent of venous obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for antiphospholipid syndrome to cause serious vascular complications, including hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent further liver damage and systemic complications.
