Describe the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests and nursing management
for patients with abnormal cell growth of the head, neck and chest.
Solution
The abnormal cell growth of the head, neck and chest may be due to neuroblastoma or the head
and neck cancer. The treatment and manifestations depend on type and location of growing cells,
tumor size, how far it has spread, and if the tumor cells secrete hormones.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Cancers of the head and neck are recognized by using the area wherein they begin: the oral
cavity, salivary glands, paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and lymph nodes
within the neck. Tumors inside the neck can often be visible or felt as a hard, painless lump. The
main reasons of head and neck cancers include tobacco (smoked or chewed), and alcohol. other
threat factors are solar exposure, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, radiation to the top and
neck, ancestry, Epstein-Barr virus infection, wooden dust or airborne asbestos, intake of certain
preservatives or salted meals, terrible oral hygiene, and Plummer-Vinson syndrome.
CLINICAL MENIFESTATION
If the tumor is in the chest, it would press at the superior vena cava. This will motive swelling
inside the face, neck, hands, and upper chest and occasionally with a bluish-crimson skin shade.
it can additionally cause headaches, dizziness, and a alternate in awareness if it influences the
mind. The tumor may press at the throat or windpipe, which could purpose coughing and
problem respiration or swallowing. Neuroblastomas that press on nerves within the chest or neck
can sometimes purpose other symptoms, together with a drooping eyelid and a small pupil.
Stress on different nerves near the backbone might have an effect on the potential to experience
or move their arms or legs. Symptoms of numerous head and neck cancer sites include a lump or
sore that does not heal, a sore throat that does not leave, issue swallowing, and a change or
hoarseness inside the voice. Neuroblastomas sometimes launch hormones that may reason
problems with tissues and organs, those troubles are known as paraneoplastic syndromes which
consist of steady diarrhea, Fever, excessive blood pressure causing irritability, speedy heartbeat,
Reddening of the pores and skin, Sweating etc.
DIAGNOSIS:
Tests conducted to diagnose head and neck most cancers range relying on the symptoms and can
include a biopsy, endoscopy, blood or urine checks, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and pet scans.
• Physical examination may encompass visible inspection of the oral and nasal cavities, neck,
throat, and tongue the usage of a small mirror and/or lights. The physician may feel for lumps on
the neck, lips, gums, and cheeks.
• Endoscopy examines regions within the body. The kind of endoscope the doctor uses depends
at the vicinity being examined.
• Laboratory exams test the samples of blood, urine, or other substances from the body.
If the analysis is cancer, the doctor will need to learn.
cancer of the larynx is also known as the cancer of voice box and basic knowledge about this is important to treat the patient and give better care for the patient this knowledge will help the nursing students to give better care, to improve their academic performance and to improve their skills in their clinical practice
Oral Cancer is an uncontrollable growth of cells which invades the vital structure. It can occur anywhere in the mouth. It occurs due to tobacco use, Areca nut, Alcohol, Poor nutrition, HPV virus, Genetic factors, Chronic trauma.
A red and white patches on lips or gum tongue or Buccal Mucosa having symptoms of pain, hoarseness of voices, loosening of teeth, Biopsy, Endoscopy, Imaging Technique are some way of examination.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Supraglotic Laryngectomy - hyoid bone, glottis and falsecordsareremoved.
Hemilaryngectomy - thethyroidcartilageof thelarynxissplit in the midline of the
neck,andthe portion of the vocal cord is removed
Total Laryngectomy - the laryngeal structures are removed,includingthehyoidbone,
epiglottis,cricoid cartilage,andtwo orthreeringsof thetrachea.
14. Post - Op Care:
• Trachestomy tube care
• Nasogastrictube feeding
15. Radiation Therapy
The goal of radiation therapy is to eradicate the cancer and preserve the function
of thelarynx.
Complications from radiation therapy are acute mucositis, ulceration of the mucous
membranes,Pain, Xerostomia, lossof taste, dysplasia,Fatigue, skin reactions
Later complications may include laryngial necrosis,edemaandfibrosis.
16. Speech Therapy
Esophageal Speech.
To do this, take air in your mouth; trap it in throat, and then let it back out. It is like
what happens when burp. As the air goes out mouth, it makes the upper parts of
esophagus vibrate. esophagus is the tube that goes from mouth to stomach. This
type of speech requires a lot of practice.
https://youtu.be/UTLg-2N4hyw
17. Artificial Larynx can use an electronic device that vibrates when turned on. put the
device against neck or put a small tube in mouth. Many people use this type of
device first. need to practice speaking clearly so others understand. voice will sound
mechanical.
18. Tracheoesophageal Speech
• This is a long-term way to talk after a laryngectomy.
• It is often done during the surgery but can happen later.
• The surgeon makes a hole between airway and esophagus.
• A small valve goes into this hole. breathe air in from the hole in neck and cover
the hole up.
• The air goes through the valve into the esophagus. The esophagus vibrates, and
use that to make sounds through mouth
20. Nursing Management
• Expect initial shock and disbelief following the diagnosis of cancer
and traumatizing procedures (disfiguring surgery, colostomy, amputation).
Few patients are fully prepared for the reality of the changes that can occur.
• Provide an open, nonjudgmental environment. Use therapeutic
communication skills of Active-Listening, acknowledgment, and so on.
Promotes and encourages realistic dialogue about feelings and concerns.
21. • Encourage verbalization of thoughts or concerns and accept expressions of
sadness, anger, and rejection. Acknowledge the normality of these feelings.
Patients may feel supported in the expression of feelings by the understanding that
deep and often conflicting emotions are normal and experienced by others in this
difficult situation.
22. • Be aware of mood swings, hostility, and other acting-out behavior. Set limits
on inappropriate behavior, and redirect negative thinking.
Indicators of ineffective coping and need for additional interventions. Preventing
destructive actions enables patients to maintain control and a sense of self-esteem.
• Be aware of debilitating depression. Ask the patient direct questions about
the state of mind.
Studies show that many cancer patients are at high risk for suicide. They are
especially vulnerable when recently diagnosed and discharged from the hospital.
23. • Identify positive aspects of the situation.
The possibility of remission and slow progression of the disease and new therapies can
offer hope for the future.
• Discuss ways patients and SO can plan together for the future. Encourage the setting
of realistic goals.
Having a part in problem-solving and planning can provide a sense of control over
anticipated events.
• Refer to visiting nurse, home health agency as needed, or hospice program, if
appropriate.
Provides support in meeting the physical and emotional needs of the patient and SO, and
can supplement the care family and friends are able to give.
24. • Visit frequently and provide physical contact as appropriate, or provide
frequent phone support as appropriate for the setting. Arrange for a care
provider and support person to stay with the patient as needed.
Helps reduce feelings of isolation and abandonment.
• Reinforce teaching regarding disease process and treatment and provide
information as appropriate about dying. Be honest; do not give false hope
while providing emotional support.
Patients and SO benefit from factual information. Individuals may ask direct
questions about death, and honest answers promote trust and provide reassurance
that correct information will be given.
