Myocutaneous Flap
Caustics
Strong alkaline chemicals that destroy soft body tissues resulting in a deep, penetrating type of burn, in contrast to corrosives, that result in a more superficial type of damage via chemical means or inflammation. Caustics are usually hydroxides of light metals. SODIUM HYDROXIDE and potassium hydroxide are the most widely used caustic agents in industry. Medically, they have been used externally to remove diseased or dead tissues and destroy warts and small tumors. The accidental ingestion of products (household and industrial) containing caustic ingredients results in thousands of injuries per year.
Carotid Stenosis
Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp 822-3)
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Retrograde esophageal balloon dilatation for caustic stricture in an outpatient clinic setting. (1/251)
Caustic injury to the esophagus, with resultant esophageal stricture, is a challenge for the surgeon. These strictures require multiple esophageal dilatations, which are usually performed under general anesthesia and frequently under fluoroscopic control. Because of the risks of multiple general anesthetics and frequent radiation, a technique is described for retrograde esophageal balloon dilatation in an outpatient clinic setting without a general anesthetic or fluoroscopic control. (+info)Correction of bone marrow failure in dyskeratosis congenita by bone marrow transplantation. (2/251)
Dyskeratosis congenita is recognized by its dermal lesions and constitutional aplastic anemia in some cases. We report successful allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in two siblings with this disease from their sister, and their long term follow-up. We used reduced doses of cyclophosphamide and busulfan for conditioning instead of total body irradiation. Also, we report late adverse effects of transplantation which are not distinguishable from the natural course of disease. (+info)Reduction of unsafe eating in a patient with esophageal stricture. (3/251)
Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of behavioral interventions in teaching self-feeding skills as well as in reducing inappropriate self-feeding behavior. The purpose of this study was to extend previous research on the use of prompting and reinforcement in reducing unsafe eating behaviors to the treatment of an adolescent with developmental disabilities and esophageal stricture. A behavioral assessment and treatment using prompting and reinforcement were shown to be effective in decreasing bite rate, decreasing bite size, and increasing the number of chews per bite. (+info)Surgical treatment of oesophageal obstruction after ingestion of a granular laxative. (4/251)
A case of oesophageal obstruction after ingestion of a granular laxative in a 91-year-old man is presented. There was no predisposing oesophageal disease. The severity of obstruction prevented endoscopic clearance and the patient required gastrotomy and manual disimpaction of the lower oesophagus. (+info)Omeprazole therapy decreases the need for dilatation of peptic oesophageal strictures. (5/251)
BACKGROUND: Better control of gastric acid secretion with omeprazole appeared to decrease the need for dilatation of oesophageal strictures complicating gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in our hospital-based endoscopy service. AIM: To investigate whether the perceived decrease in the need for oesophageal dilatation could be documented from endoscopy records, and, if confirmed, whether this could be related to the treatment used. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective study of the records of 69 patients who had peptic oesophageal strictures dilated, followed by treatment with acid inhibition for at least 6 months. Mean duration of follow-up was 3.9 years during treatment with H2-receptor antagonists and 2.1 years while on omeprazole (258 and 78 patient-years, respectively). Re-dilatation rates were compared between those treated with H2-receptor antagonists or omeprazole. RESULTS: There has been a significant decrease in dilatations performed for gastro-oesophageal reflux induced strictures (P<0.001), while dilatation rates for other indications remained constant. Treatment with omeprazole not only decreased the need for further dilatations, but also prolonged the mean time between any further dilatations to 26.3 months compared to 9.3 months for those on an H2-receptor antagonist (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Following dilatation of peptic oesophageal strictures, treatment with omeprazole in place of an H2-blocker significantly decreases the need for repeat dilatation. (+info)Gastric cancer and other endoscopic diagnoses in patients with benign dyspepsia. (6/251)
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that endoscopy could be replaced with non-invasive assessment of helicobacter status in the initial work up of young dyspeptic patients without sinister symptoms. AIMS: To determine the incidence of gastro-oesophageal malignancy in young dyspeptic patients. METHODS: The Alberta Endoscopy Project captured clinical and demographic data on all endoscopies performed from April 1993 to February 1996 at four major adult hospitals in Alberta. The endoscopic and histological diagnosis in a subgroup of patients under 45 years of age without alarm symptoms that had undergone gastroscopy was reviewed. In addition, a random list of 200 patients was generated and their medical records reviewed in order to assess the proportion with symptoms suitable for a non-invasive management strategy. RESULTS: Gastroscopy was performed in 7004 patients under 45 years. In 3634 patients (56% female) alarm type symptoms were absent; 78.9% of patients had symptoms amenable to a non-invasive initial approach, giving a corrected sample size of 2867 patients (correction factor 0.789). Three gastric cancers, one case of moderate dysplasia, 10 biopsy proved cases of Barrett's oesophagus, and 19 oesophageal strictures/rings were detected within this sample. The corrected prevalence of gastric cancer in this select population was 1.05 per thousand patients. DISCUSSION: Endoscopy yielded three gastric cancers in this sample of under 45 year old dyspeptic patients without sinister symptoms. While initial non-invasive screening with one-week triple therapy for helicobacter positive individuals is unlikely to have a detrimental outcome the physician is advised to consider endoscopy in patients with persisting, recurrent, or sinister symptoms. (+info)Esophageal obstruction in horses: a retrospective study of 34 cases. (7/251)
The major purpose of this investigation was to describe the causes, possible complications, and prognoses of horses with esophageal obstruction. Of 34 cases presenting with esophageal obstruction, 28 cases were due to impaction of ingesta. Obstruction due to pre-existing esophageal disease occurred in 4 horses with megaesophagus, in 1 horse with stricture in the upper third of the esophagus, and in 1 horse with esophageal diverticulum. There was no significant difference in the contamination of the trachea between horses that subsequently developed aspiration pneumonia and those that did not. The duration of esophageal obstruction prior to admission was significantly longer in horses that developed aspiration pneumonia (median 18, range 2-48 h) than in those horses that did not (median 4, range 0.5-48 h). Although the obstruction was relieved in all 34 horses, 4 were euthanized because of recurring obstruction due to megaesophagus (n = 2), esophageal diverticulum (n = 1), and esophageal stricture (n = 1). (+info)Improvement in lower esophageal sphincter pressure following surgery for complicated gastroesophageal reflux. (8/251)
A comparison was made of the pre- and postoperative lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressures in nine patients undergoing a posterior gastropexy for complicated gastroesophageal reflux. LES pressure was increased from 4.4 plus or minus 0.4 mm Hg to 13.9 plus or minus 0.5 mm Hg following surgery (p less than .01). The ratio of the change in LES pressure compared to the change in gastric pressure during increases in intra-abdominal pressure delta S/delta G, was 0.59 plus or minus 0.05 preoperatively and 0.94 plus or minus .01 postoperatively (p less than .01). All patients were asymptomatic after surgery. Both the resting LES pressure and the S/G ratio following surgery were significantly less than the comparable values obtained in an age-matched control population (p less than .01). These studies suggest that the clinical improvement following surgery for gastroesophageal reflux may be due to the increase in resting LES pressure and the improved response of the LES to increased intra-abdominal pressure. (+info)Esophageal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing or stricture of the esophageal lumen, causing difficulty in swallowing solid or liquid substances, and potentially leading to food impaction, pain, or weight loss.
Esophageal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing or constriction of the esophagus, which is the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This narrowing can make it difficult to swallow food and liquids, leading to symptoms such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), pain or discomfort while swallowing, regurgitation, and weight loss.
Esophageal stenosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
1. Scarring or fibrosis due to prolonged acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
2. Radiation therapy for cancer treatment
3. Ingestion of corrosive substances
4. Eosinophilic esophagitis, an allergic condition that affects the esophagus
5. Esophageal tumors or cancers
6. Surgical complications
Depending on the underlying cause and severity of the stenosis, treatment options may include medications to manage symptoms, dilation procedures to widen the narrowed area, or surgery to remove the affected portion of the esophagus. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any difficulty swallowing or other symptoms related to esophageal stenosis.
A myocutaneous flap is a surgical procedure that involves the transfer of a composite unit of skin, fat, and muscle with its attached blood vessels, to reconstruct or repair defects in tissue layers, often in cases of trauma, tumor removal, or congenital abnormalities.
A myocutaneous flap is a surgical procedure that involves the transfer of a muscle and its overlying skin and fascia to another location in the body. This type of flap includes the entire thickness of the muscle, along with the attached blood vessels, nerves, and fat. The purpose of using a myocutaneous flap is to provide well-vascularized tissue to cover defects or wounds that may not heal properly on their own due to poor blood flow or infection.
Myocutaneous flaps are often used in reconstructive surgery, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, coverage of soft tissue defects following tumor resection, and management of complex wounds. The choice of which muscle to use as a flap depends on the location and size of the defect, as well as the patient's individual anatomy and medical condition. Commonly used muscles for myocutaneous flaps include the latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis, and serratus anterior.
Caustics, in a medical context, refers to the painful, necrotic lesions or burns caused by contact with corrosive substances, such as strong acids or alkalis.
In medical terms, "caustics" refer to substances that can cause burns or destroy living tissue due to their corrosive nature. They can cause chemical burns upon contact with skin, eyes, or mucous membranes, leading to inflammation, necrosis (tissue death), and potential scarring. Common caustic substances include strong acids and bases, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide (lye).
In dermatology, the term "caustics" may also refer to chemical peeling agents used for the treatment of various skin conditions, such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or fine lines. These substances, which include trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol, cause a controlled injury to the skin, leading to exfoliation and the stimulation of new tissue growth. However, they must be used with caution, as improper application can result in unwanted side effects or complications.
Esophagoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the direct visual examination of the esophagus using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, which is inserted through the mouth or nose into the esophagus.
Esophagoscopy is a medical procedure that involves the visual examination of the esophagus, which is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This procedure is typically carried out using an esophagogastroduodenoscope (EGD), a flexible tube with a camera and light on the end.
During the procedure, the EGD is inserted through the mouth and down the throat into the esophagus, allowing the medical professional to examine its lining for any abnormalities such as inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. The procedure may also involve taking tissue samples (biopsies) for further examination and testing.
Esophagoscopy is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, and other disorders affecting the esophagus. It may also be used to treat certain conditions, such as removing polyps or foreign objects from the esophagus.
Carotid stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the lumen of the carotid artery, often due to atherosclerosis, which can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain and increased risk of stroke.
Carotid stenosis is a medical condition that refers to the narrowing or constriction of the lumen (inner space) of the carotid artery. The carotid arteries are major blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the head and neck. Carotid stenosis usually results from the buildup of plaque, made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, on the inner walls of the artery. This process is called atherosclerosis.
As the plaque accumulates, it causes the artery to narrow, reducing blood flow to the brain. Severe carotid stenosis can increase the risk of stroke, as a clot or debris from the plaque can break off and travel to the brain, blocking a smaller blood vessel and causing tissue damage or death.
Carotid stenosis is typically diagnosed through imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT angiography, or MRI angiography. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications (such as quitting smoking, controlling blood pressure, and managing cholesterol levels), medications to reduce the risk of clots, or surgical procedures like endarterectomy or stenting to remove or bypass the blockage.
Aortic Valve Stenosis is a cardiovascular condition characterized by the narrowing and subsequent obstruction of the aortic valve opening, leading to restricted blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, often resulting in increased pressure within the left ventricle, heart failure, or other related complications.
Aortic valve stenosis is a cardiac condition characterized by the narrowing or stiffening of the aortic valve, which separates the left ventricle (the heart's main pumping chamber) from the aorta (the large artery that carries oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body). This narrowing or stiffening prevents the aortic valve from opening fully, resulting in reduced blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and the rest of the body.
The narrowing can be caused by several factors, including congenital heart defects, calcification (hardening) of the aortic valve due to aging, or scarring of the valve due to rheumatic fever or other inflammatory conditions. As a result, the left ventricle must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed valve, which can lead to thickening and enlargement of the left ventricular muscle (left ventricular hypertrophy).
Symptoms of aortic valve stenosis may include chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness or fainting, and heart palpitations. Severe aortic valve stenosis can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, or even sudden cardiac death. Treatment options may include medications to manage symptoms, lifestyle changes, or surgical intervention such as aortic valve replacement.
'Coronary stenosis' is a medical term that refers to the narrowing of the lumen or inner space of the coronary arteries, typically due to the buildup of plaque, which can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle and potentially cause angina, shortness of breath, or other symptoms associated with coronary artery disease.
Coronary stenosis is a medical condition that refers to the narrowing of the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This narrowing is typically caused by the buildup of plaque, made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances, on the inner walls of the arteries. Over time, as the plaque hardens and calcifies, it can cause the artery to become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
Coronary stenosis can lead to various symptoms and complications, including chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), and heart attacks. Treatment options for coronary stenosis may include lifestyle changes, medications, medical procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery, or a combination of these approaches. Regular check-ups and diagnostic tests, such as stress testing or coronary angiography, can help detect and monitor coronary stenosis over time.
Spinal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen, resulting in pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots, often leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back, legs, or neck.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal or the neural foramina (the openings through which nerves exit the spinal column), typically in the lower back (lumbar) or neck (cervical) regions. This can put pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected areas, often in the legs, arms, or hands. It's most commonly caused by age-related wear and tear, but can also be due to degenerative changes, herniated discs, tumors, or spinal injuries.
Tracheal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal narrowing or constriction of the lumen of the trachea, which can lead to respiratory distress and other related symptoms.
Tracheal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the abnormal narrowing of the trachea (windpipe), which can lead to difficulty breathing. This narrowing can be caused by various factors such as inflammation, scarring, or the growth of abnormal tissue in the airway. Symptoms may include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort, particularly during physical activity. Treatment options for tracheal stenosis depend on the severity and underlying cause of the condition and may include medications, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, or surgical interventions such as laser surgery, stent placement, or tracheal reconstruction.
