Anatomy of the Ear01:16

Anatomy of the Ear

8.7K
Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction01:15

Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction

25
IntroductionAortic regurgitation is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole and arises from the improper closure of the aortic valve. This condition results in left ventricular volume overload and can stem from both acute and chronic etiologies, each contributing uniquely to the disease's progression and symptomatology.Acute and Chronic CausesAcute aortic regurgitation often results from events that suddenly impair the integrity of the...

Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction

155
Esophageal perforation is a severe medical condition characterized by a breach in the integrity of the esophageal wall. This breach can occur due to various factors such as trauma, medical procedures, or underlying diseases. When the esophageal wall is compromised, it allows food, fluids, and digestive juices into the chest cavity or adjacent structures, leading to potential complications and health risks.
The location of esophageal perforation can vary, occurring anywhere along the esophagus....

Types of Membrane Protrusions01:28

Types of Membrane Protrusions

3.0K
The protrusion of the cell surface is an initial step for several cellular processes, including cell migration, phagocytosis, and neurite outgrowth. These membrane protrusions are a result of cytoskeletal rearrangement. The most  widely observed cell protrusions include lamellipodia, pseudopodia, filopodia, microvilli, invadopodia, and podosomes. These protrusions can be of two types — static or dynamic.
The microvilli, an example of stable protrusions, are finger-like projections...

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction01:27

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction

31
IntroductionThe mitral valve, one of the heart's four valves, regulates blood flow. These valves have flaps that open and close to direct blood properly through the heart and body. During each heartbeat, the flaps open for blood to pass through and seal shut to prevent backflow. Specifically, the mitral valve opens to allow blood flow from the heart's upper left chamber to the lower left chamber. It then closes securely as the lower left chamber contracts to pump blood to the body, preventing...

Mitral Valve Prolapse II: Assessment and Management

36
IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Endolymphatic pressure alterations are linked to endolymphatic hydrops and membranous labyrinth rupture.
  • Membrane mechanics, specifically viscoelastoplastic properties, are increasingly implicated in membrane rupture events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rupture risk envelope for cochleo-saccular membranes using viscoelastoplasticity.
  • To gain insights into lesion behavior within Meniere disease.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized reported deformation data from a collagen model of cochleo-saccular membranes.
  • Defined yield stress as 80% of ultimate failure stress.
  • Constructed a rupture risk envelope based on yield points at various strain rates.

Main Results:

  • The rupture risk envelope exhibited a downward-sloping configuration.
  • At high strain rates (385%/min), membrane yield occurred at higher stress (7.0 kPa) and lower strain (30%).
  • At low strain rates (19.2%/min), membrane yield occurred at lower stress (4.3 kPa) but higher strain (44%).

Conclusions:

  • A rupture risk envelope based on viscoelastoplasticity aids understanding of hydropic lesion behavior in Meniere disease.
  • This model helps explain variations in membrane distensibility, supporting the 'double hit' theory of Meniere disease lesion generation.
  • Slowly developing lesions show lower rupture risk, while rapidly developing ones have a higher risk of early membrane rupture.
