Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that features lumps under the skin that range from pea-sized to marble sized. This condition is also known as acne inversa. Hidradenitis Suppurativa is NOT contagious. This condition usually occurs where skin rubs together such as between the buttocks, under the breasts, the armpits and the groin. Most of these lumps tend to be very painful and when they break open they often produce malodorous pus. Though Hidradenitis Suppurativa occurs in
Boil (Skin Abscess) By Mitchtisha Jones Boil or skin abscess is known as a restricted infection in the skin that began as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm, hard, and increasingly tender. Eventually, the center of the boil softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells from the bloodstream to get rid of the infection. Pus is formed when white blood cells, bacteria, and protein collects under the skin. The pus, then “forms a head." which can be surgically
432802924 Periodontal versus pulpal abscess The relationship between periodontal disease and pulpal infection occurs primarily by the intimate anatomic and vascular interactions between the pulp and the periodontium. As such, when we as dentists see these periapical lesions affecting the periodontium and the apical tissue, proper diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance if we are to give the affected tooth a hopeful prognosis. Abscess Definition An abscess is an enclosed collection of liquefied
Liver Abscess A liver abscess is an infected area inside the liver that contains a collection of pus. The liver is a large organ in the upper right-hand side of the abdomen. It is involved in many important functions, including storing energy, producing fluids that the body needs, and removing harmful substances from the bloodstream. Liver abscesses often cause abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms. A liver abscess can be dangerous if not treated. CAUSES This condition may be caused by
though as strongly as the physician’s, their subtle presence provide organization in the form of administrative and clinical tasks to facilitate the physician’s demanding profession. During a surgical procedure, such as an incision and drainage of an abscess, the medical assistant is the patient’s first point of contact. The medical assistant’s role in any surgical procedure will begin as the patient schedules an appointment with the providing health care provider. There are many outpatient surgical
correctly diagnose the periodontal abscess so that they can provide the correct treatment. Some treatment methods include draining and irrigation of the infection, surgery, extraction of the tooth, systemic or local antibiotics, and biofilm decontamination. Once a periodontal abscess has been treated it is up to the patient to prevent future infections by maintaining good oral care at home and seeking dental cleanings such as scaling and root planing if needed.
Introduction Tonsils are two stacks of tissue located at the back of the throat, whose main role is to trap harmful foreign materials that enter through the mouth and the nose from entering in the respiratory system (Burton 36). Tonsils are of different sizes from one person to another, and their performance is affected by their size. According to Hareyan (1), tonsils are highly susceptible to most throat infections as a result attack by viruses and bacteria. One of the major infections of tonsils
Abscesses are typically described anatomically by where they are located- for instance, a tooth root abscess occurs at the tip of a tooth root, and a subcutaneous abscess occurs under the skin. Typically, an abscess appears suddenly as a painful swelling (if it is not located inside a body cavity or deep within tissue) that may be either firm to the touch, or fluctuant like a water balloon. The abscess may be large or small, will often cause redness if it is under the skin, and may cause local tissue

Location & Structure The liver is the largest organ of the body weighing in at about 3 pounds and about 6 inches thick. With this size the liver is very resilient. The liver is a red-brownish organ that is shaped like triangle. The liver is located at the top of the abdomen on the right side of the body just below the diaphragm. The structure of the liver is built up of four lobes. The two main lobes are the right and left lobe. The right lobe consist of the two remaining lobes the quadrate and
eventually became an atheist because his own faith “left him”. Later on, he talks about how he wants to “find the exact location of the soul” and how he was determined he had found it when he removed an abscess from a patient’s arm. But eventually after removing the abscess he is told that the abscess was actually as a result of a botfly and would have come out on its own. In my opinion, Selzer adds this story to make the point that surgeons can’t always save the world and in reality finding the “exact
Dating back to the Renaissance, many scientists have taken special interest in the appendix, with the first drawings of the appendix in 1492 and later the first description of the appendix in 1521(Prystowsky, Pugh & Nagle, 2005). The function of the appendix in the adult human is still unclear, but it is likely related to the role of the lymphoid tissue in immunologic processes (Debas, 2004). It was not until 1711 that the first account of appendicitis was reported and then verified in an autopsy
other doctor was able to move her schedule around just so I could see her. She had about ten different tools down my throat that I didn’t even know what the purpose of them was. After she ran some tests, it was crystal clear to her that I had an abscess on one of my tonsils. For a straight week I had come seen the doctor everyday to see if she could do little operations to minimize it and make me more comfortable. At the end of that week, the doctor had decided that we could not go further with this
and if going into direct sunlight for long periods of time to apply sunscreen. Several infections and injuries can occur in the skin, some of which include burns, abrasions, ulcers, abscess, and tinea. All of these infections and injuries affect the dermis and should be treated according to individual cases. An abscess would be classified as a pus containing caused by bacteria and requires antibiotic drugs. Tinea is a skin infection brought on by fungus that feed on the epidermal cells. It should
Because of his keen sense of observation and patience, he was able to catch such a discovery. Paget is most famously known for Paget’s disease of the nipple, an early indicator of breast cancer. Also, for Paget’s abscess which is an abscess that reoccurs after the remains of the original abscess. His study of tumors (masses of abnormal tissue in the body) helped reveal that you could just remove the bone-marrow tumor instead of amputation of the entire limb. Many people’s arms and legs were saved due
Nessa G. Cynthia A. Adae v. University of Cincinnati, Case No. 2007-08228 10/3/17 Cynthia Adae was taken to Clinton Memorial Hospital on June 28, 2006.

She reported to have pain for two or three weeks and that the pain started in her back or her chest
your body’s good health. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix is blocked, which does not allow the bacteria to leave the appendix. If the appendix is not removed it could burst, resulting in bacteria spreading to become very dangerous as to form an abscess in the abdomen. As a result Peritonitis, inflammation and infection in the abdominal cavity, which could be life threatening could occur. Not to mention if the bacteria gets into the bloodstream,

Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that inevitably everyone in society will experience at some stage throughout his or her lifespan, and every individuals experience will differ from that of another’s (Mac Lellan, 2006). This maybe due to any number of factors that can affect an individual, such as age, gender, emotional state, culture, or previous encounters with pain (Funnell, Koutoukidis, & Lawrence, 2005). In this reflective assignment I will discuss not only
