Acute Pharyngitis

574
Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

1.7K
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,...

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management

214
The clinical manifestations of gastritis can vary depending on the cause and type of gastritis, but some common symptoms may include the following.
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types

351
Gastritis, defined by the inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining or gastric mucosa, manifests in several distinct forms: acute, chronic, reactive, and a specific subtype known as autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis.
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

212
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Dermatology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Median rhomboid glossitis (MRG) presents as a smooth, red patch on the tongue's dorsal midline.
  • MRG is a benign condition, yet its etiology remains incompletely understood, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Association with candidal infections is frequently observed in MRG cases.

Observation:

  • A painless, smooth, red patch on the dorsal tongue was observed in a 42-year-old male patient.
  • Initial presentation mimicked mechanical irritation or thermal injury.
  • The lesion was identified during a routine dental examination.

Findings:

  • The case confirmed a diagnosis of median rhomboid glossitis (MRG).
  • The patient's presentation highlights the importance of thorough oral examinations for diagnosing uncommon lesions.
  • Diagnostic difficulties arise from the varied appearance and incomplete understanding of MRG.

Implications:

  • Dentists must be adept at identifying MRG during routine examinations.
  • Patient education regarding MRG, its benign nature, and potential associations is crucial.
  • Further clinical investigation is warranted to fully elucidate the pathogenesis of MRG.
