Nose: 3.1 Nasal Anatomy: The human nose is the most protruding part of the face which extends approximately 3-5 cm in height externally and 10 cm long nasal cavity internally (Sforza, Grandi, De Menezes, Tartaglia, & Ferrario, 2011). Human nasal cavity starts from external nares (nostrils) to the nasopharynx (the upper section of the throat) which is equally divided by the nasal septum into 2 similar non-connected halves i.e., left- and right-nasal cavity. Anatomically, the nasal cavity is the space
Nasal decongestants can be considered a magic solution for people that suffer congestion. Most can be bought over the counter, (medicine sold directly to final customer without any medical prescription). Decongestants are medicines used for inflammation and swelling of the nasal tissues and blood vessels. There are several reasons why people use nasal decongestants like Afrin. The main one is because it works immediately, Alleviating the nasal congestion, just by the application of a couple of squirts
topic that has been recently researched so that scientists can feel reassured in creating anatomically correct models of dinosaurs. Amniotes (a group which in the Triassic spilt into reptiles and synapsids and which include dinosaurs), have large nasal openings, but since the nostril is made up of flesh and cartilidge, it is almost always not preserved in the fossil record (Lauren and Gauthier 1996). These were often huge in dinosaurs, such as the sauropods, hadrosaurines, and ceratopsids, so that
The microbe Naegleria fowleri, commonly called the brain-eating-amoeba, was first identified from a fatal case of primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in Australia in 1961. In 1965, three further cases of fatal PAM were found, from which clinical and laboratory investigations pointed to a relation with acute bacterial meningitis among the cases of an unknown etiology. According to Fowler & Carter (1965), when post-death examinations of the bodies were performed researchers found that “microscopically
Officers received a dispatch for a silver bread van that is leaving the scene after backing over a street sweeper sign tearing it from the ground. The van broke the metal post at the base where it was fastened into the concrete. The sign was later observed lying on the sidewalk. The vehicle was observed travelling eastbound on Oak Street crossing Main Street. The vehicle was stopped on the 100 block of East Oak Street. The operator was identified as Joseph S. ZENDROSKY. ZENDROSKY related he
As a giant herbivore, the Diplodocus fed primarily on conifers, ginkgo leaves, ferns, and other soft leafy vegetation available at the time (Young et al., 2012). Additionally, there currently stand two main feeding theories when it comes to the Diplodocus. The Diplodocus, with shorter front legs, is often envisioned as being a low browser where it would keep its neck close to the ground and feed off the leafy ground vegetation as it would have been in a more comfortable posture for feeding. As popularized
easy remedy to clear a stuffy nose is a steaming hot shower. You can also put hot water in a sink and breathe in the steam if you prefer. Be sure to take in long deep breathes. The steam helps to thin out the mucus and reduces inflammation in the nasal passages. This will offer some relief but only for a short period of time to clear the stuffy nose. You can also add some oils to the water, such as peppermint or eucalyptus to help loosen the mucus. 2. Humidifier A humidifier is good for creating
may not know that these are symptoms for Sinusitis, a very common health issue that affects 37 million people a year (Balloon Sinuplasty). Sinusitis is “an inflammation of the mucous lining of the nasal passages and sinuses” (University Maryland Medical Center).). Although sinusitis originates from the nasal passages, there are numerous symptoms that can lead to sinusitis. Sinusitis can begin when one experiences difficulty breathing through the nose, throbbing headaches, and swelling of the area around
Sinus is one of the most severe and dangerous diseases, which can cause the problems in breathing with pain in face.

However, the sinusitis is not the occasional diseases and it can occur any time of the year, but you make see it more frequently around the cold and flu seasons. Infection of the sinus is quite difficult to bear and
INTRODUCTION The incidence and epidemiological causes of maxillofacial trauma and facial fractures varies widely between different regions of the world due to social, economical, cultural consequences, awareness of traffic regulations and alcohol consumption. Reports from distinct regions in Turkey also have different etiological findings.[1, 2] According to the reports from developed countries [3-6] assault is the leading cause of facial fractures followed mostly by road traffic accidents, pedestrian
“Skylar, how many times must I tell you not to go outside with wet hair? You don’t want to catch cold, do you?” asked my Mom for the umpteenth time. I know it was a rhetorical question, but…I got sooo frustrated that I actually replied, “Mom,” I said, “you don’t need to worry because chicken soup will undoubtedly cure my cold if I get one”. I bet, like me, at some point in your life…your mom, or maybe your grandparent, has tried to impart this same wisdom to you too. After all, old wives’ tales like

Allergies occurring during a certain time of the year are known as seasonal allergy. The main cause of these allergies is pollen, which is due to response of the reproduction of trees, flowers, grasses and weeds. The two most frequent seasons that are responsible for allergies is spring and winter or which commonly known as fall. These are the seasons when the highest pollination takes place. The NIAD (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) recorded that about 35 million people

A number of things can happen to cause a pneumothorax including: trauma to the chest, previously damaged lung tissue, or the rupture of air blisters called blebs (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 2014). The lungs and thoracic cavity are lined with visceral pleura and parietal pleura respectively. The space between the two layers, called the pleural space, is filled with a lubricant that holds the lungs and thorax together. When a pneumothorax occurs, a hole is made in the lung
A 73-year old female presented to St Vincents Emergency Department, with a 3 week history of progressive dyspnoea, cough, and lethargy, on a background of a 6-year history of Multiple Myeloma.

1. What is meant by the statement “Singing is a learned behavior”? Most people are not naturally “born singers.” Many people believe that “singing is some type of gift” (Phillips, 222). I have heard this phrase many times in my life. My family would always ask me who I inherited my music talent from. If music was a gift then why would the public use tax dollars to teach every student music. Some students just have a higher musical aptitude than others. This means that some students will be
cervical (5%) and thoracoabdominal (20%). Thoracic and thoracoabdominal are the two most common forms of this disease. Thoracic Ectopia Cordis is a rare congenital heart abnormality with the heart partly or completely placed outside of the thoracic cavity. It is not protected by the sternum or skin and in some cases, the other organs form outside the body as well, usually the kidney's, liver and spleen. The second most common type of Ectopia Cordis is Thoracoabdominal, which is frequently associated
prolific theories of bone growth anatomy. Duhamel proved, in 1742, that the bone is first formed in the periosteum and grows in superposing layers. Hunter, through his experiments showed that bone grows in length by juxtaposing layers and the medullary cavity (Trabecular bone) grows by resorption of inner layers of bone. He also showed that the ends of the bones show remodeling via cycles of bone formation and resorption. Duhamel du Monceau used madder dye, an extract of the root of Rubia tincterium tree
