Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

11.5K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists01:28

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

245
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids01:21

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

359
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Two synthetic agonists of THC,...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists01:27

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

293
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

2.5K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

1.6K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pain Management
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Head and neck cancers (HNC) frequently cause debilitating pain, affecting nearly 70% of patients.
  • Current classification of HNC-related pain lacks universal criteria, relying on pathophysiology, tumor location, and pain characteristics.
  • Clinical presentation of HNC pain can mimic primary pain disorders, complicating diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, classification, clinical features, and pathophysiology of HNC-related pain.
  • To discuss current management strategies for HNC-related pain, including pharmacotherapy and interventions.
  • To present a case study illustrating HNC-related pain.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on epidemiology, diagnosis, classification, pathophysiology, and management of HNC-related pain.
  • Inclusion of a case study for clinical context.

Main Results:

  • HNC-related pain is highly prevalent and diverse in its clinical presentation.
  • Pharmacotherapy is the primary treatment modality, with interventions considered in specific cases.
  • Lack of standardized diagnostic criteria presents a challenge in HNC pain management.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of HNC-related pain requires a comprehensive understanding of its multifaceted nature.
  • Further research is needed to establish universally accepted diagnostic criteria and optimize treatment algorithms.
  • Multidisciplinary approaches are essential for addressing the complex needs of patients with HNC-related pain.
