Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

152
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

101
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.

Assessment of the Abdomen I: Inspection and Auscultation

339
Introduction
The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
Inspection of the Abdomen
The first step in any abdominal examination is inspection....

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ultrasonography of the horse

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Equine Health

Background:

  • Feeding disorders in horses present diagnostic challenges.
  • Conventional imaging like radiography and CT are common but may not always identify oral issues.
  • Sonography of the equine head and oral cavity is an underutilized diagnostic modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the utility of ultrasonography in diagnosing lingual abscesses in horses with feeding disorders.
  • To present two case reports detailing the use of oral and transcutaneous ultrasonography for diagnosis and ultrasound-guided drainage of lingual abscesses.

Main Methods:

  • Two horses with impaired feed intake were examined.
  • Diagnostic imaging included radiography and ultrasonography (oral and transcutaneous).

  • Ultrasound-guided abscess drainage was performed, either orally under general anesthesia or transcutaneously under sedation.

    • Main Results:

    • Radiographic examination of the head revealed no abnormalities in either horse.
    • Ultrasonography successfully identified abscesses in the mid to caudal tongue in both cases.
    • Both horses recovered well after ultrasound-guided abscess drainage and resumed normal feeding.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonography of the tongue is a valuable, user-friendly method for detecting lingual abscesses in horses.
    • Oral ultrasonography is effective for rostral and mid-tongue assessment.
    • Transcutaneous ultrasonography is advantageous for evaluating the middle and caudal tongue sections.
