Rapid diagnosis and treatment are important in the care of TBI; [6] if the injury is not diagnosed shortly after the injury, the risk of complications is higher. [11] Bronchoscopy is the most effective method to diagnose, locate, and determine the severity of TBI, [6] [10] and it is usually the only method that allows a definitive diagnosis. [23]
The alveoli. Pulmonary contusion and laceration are injuries to the lung tissue. Pulmonary laceration, in which lung tissue is torn or cut, differs from pulmonary contusion in that the former involves disruption of the macroscopic architecture of the lung, [1] while the latter does not. [2]
The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.
Right side depicts what occurs after injury to the alveolus during the acute/exudative phase. Once the initial insult has damaged the alveoli and begun the process of DAD, the condition will typically progress in three phases: exudative, proliferative, and fibrotic. [6] Below are the description of the phases, paraphrased from Sweeney et al ...
This fibrosing alveolitis may become apparent as early as five days after the initial injury. Subsequent recovery may be characterized by reduced physiologic reserve, and increased susceptibility to further lung injuries. Extensive microvascular thrombosis may lead to pulmonary hypertension, myocardial dysfunction and systemic hypotension.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was hospitalized for evaluation in Luxembourg after falling on a set of stairs and sustaining an injury during a trip with a congressional delegation. A ...
After having patients describe in painful detail what caused their moral injury, therapists asked them to choose someone they saw as a compassionate moral authority and hold an imaginary conversation with that person, describing what happened and the shame they feel. They were then asked to verbalize the response, using their imagination.
Pelosi was admitted to a hospital in Luxembourg as the result of a fall on the stairs, three sources told CNN. Pelosi’s office declined to comm ent on how the California congresswoman was injured.
