Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management01:28

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

160
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

278
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...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.8K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation01:27

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation

524
Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:26

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

41
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies01:28

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

215
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Summary

Epulis gravidarum (EG), an oral condition during pregnancy, often resolves post-delivery. Management depends on bleeding, pain, and bone loss, with a multidisciplinary approach recommended for optimal care.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology and oncology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Dental surgery

Background:

  • Pregnancy-induced hormonal shifts can alter oral mucosa, leading to Epulis gravidarum (EG).
  • EG typically regresses postpartum, but management requires careful consideration of pregnancy-related factors.
  • This review synthesizes evidence on EG clinical features and surgical management during pregnancy.

Observation:

  • A case of Epulis gravidarum in a triplet pregnancy complicated by bleeding is presented.
  • The lesion spontaneously regressed postpartum, avoiding surgical intervention.
  • Literature review identified factors influencing surgical management decisions for EG.

Findings:

  • EG management is guided by symptom severity, including bleeding, pain, and radiographic bone loss.
  • Surgical intervention during pregnancy correlated with pain (P=0.03) and bone loss (P=0.003).
  • Poor oral hygiene was identified as a potential trigger in 71% of cases.

Implications:

  • A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for accurate diagnosis and risk-benefit assessment of surgical intervention during pregnancy.
  • Tailoring management strategies based on bleeding, pain, and bone loss is essential for effective Epulis gravidarum care.
  • Understanding factors influencing EG progression aids in optimizing treatment outcomes for pregnant patients.
