This document provides guidance on performing a thorough history and physical examination for nasal and paranasal sinus symptoms. The history should include details on all relevant nasal symptoms as well as associated symptoms. The physical examination involves inspecting the external nose and performing anterior and posterior rhinoscopy to examine the nasal cavity and postnasal space. Functional tests assess nasal patency and smell. The paranasal sinuses and surrounding areas are palpated for tenderness. Radiological imaging and additional tests may be needed based on findings. The goal is to accurately diagnose the condition and determine appropriate treatment.
Otitis media with effusion and acute suppurative otitis media are common disorders of the middle ear. Otitis media with effusion involves the collection of non-purulent fluid in the middle ear and can cause conductive hearing loss in children. Acute suppurative otitis media is caused by bacterial infection spreading to the middle ear, often after a viral upper respiratory infection. It progresses through stages of tubal occlusion, pre-suppuration, suppuration, and resolution or complication. Chronic suppurative otitis media is a long-standing middle ear infection lasting over 3 months.

Hearing loss may be mild, moderate, severe or profound.
It can affect one ear or both ears, and leads to difficulty in hearing conversational speech or loud sounds. it may occur in one or both ear.
CONDUCTIVE HEARING LOSS (CHL)
SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS (SHL)
MIXED HEARING LOSS (MHL)
Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that impairs a person's ability to process language. It can cause problems with speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The type and severity of aphasia depends on the location of brain damage, usually in the left hemisphere. Broca's aphasia involves non-fluent speech and impaired comprehension of syntax. Wernicke's aphasia features fluent but meaningless speech and impaired comprehension. Global aphasia combines deficits of both Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia.
1. A deviated nasal septum is caused by trauma, developmental issues, masses in the nasal cavity, and racial or hereditary factors.
2. Types of deviations include anterior/caudal dislocation, C-shaped, S-shaped, spurs, and thickening. Clinical features include nasal blockage, recurrent colds, headaches, and epistaxis.
3. Surgical techniques to correct deviations include septoplasty, which involves scoring and removing portions of cartilage, and submucosal resection, which removes larger sections of cartilage. Complications can include hematomas, abscesses, perforations, and synechiae.
This document discusses hearing loss, including definitions, types, causes, examination, diagnosis, and management. It defines different levels of hearing loss based on decibel thresholds. The main types are conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is usually permanent and caused by inner ear or nerve damage. Causes include genetic syndromes, infections, trauma, tumors, ototoxic drugs, aging, and noise exposure. Evaluation involves history, physical exam including Weber and Rinne tests, and audiometry. Imaging and labs may be needed depending on history. Management depends on type, but may include hearing aids, cochlear implants, rehabilitation through lip reading and sign language. Rehabilitation of children focuses
Acute respiratory failure occurs when the respiratory system fails to maintain adequate gas exchange. There are two main types: hypoxemic respiratory failure, characterized by low oxygen levels, and acute ventilatory failure, characterized by high carbon dioxide levels. Hypoxemic failure is most common and can result from conditions that impair gas exchange like pneumonia or pulmonary edema. Ventilatory failure involves impaired breathing and can be caused by conditions that increase breathing workload like COPD. Diagnosis involves blood gas analysis and imaging. Treatment focuses on supporting oxygenation and ventilation through oxygen supplementation, ventilation support, and treating underlying causes.
Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths that develop in the nasal passages and sinuses. They are common in adults and more frequent in men. Nasal polyps can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, allergies, asthma, or chronic inflammation. They may cause symptoms like nasal obstruction, loss of smell, and mouth breathing. Complications can include sleep apnea or bleeding. Treatment involves nasal steroids, nasal irrigation, and sometimes surgery to remove the polyps. Surgical removal provides relief from nasal obstruction but polyps may return over time.

COPD - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Aby Aby Thankachan
Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by airway obstruction. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers specifically to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, where the airways become narrowed over time due to inflammation and mucus, limiting airflow. The main symptoms of COPD are cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath. A diagnosis of COPD requires respiratory testing showing airflow limitation. While there is no cure, symptoms can be treated through smoking cessation, bronchodilators, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen supplementation, and managing exacerbations.
Laryngeal cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the larynx and grow uncontrollably. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common form. Key risk factors include smoking and alcohol consumption. A team of specialists is involved in diagnosing and staging the cancer, and developing a treatment plan. This multidisciplinary team may include ENT surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, speech therapists and others to help address all aspects of care for the patient.

This 2 credit hour course aims to teach evidence-based practice to physical therapy students. It will cover defining evidence-based practice, formulating clinical questions, searching and appraising literature, implementing findings, and evaluating outcomes. Students will learn to critically appraise different types of research studies, clinical prediction rules, clinical practice guidelines, and more. Lab activities include literature searches and critical appraisal of diagnostic, prognostic, and intervention studies. Students will be assessed through exams, practical labs, assignments, and a case study to evaluate their understanding of applying evidence-based principles to physical therapy practice.
This document discusses evidence-based practice (EBP) in physiotherapy. It provides several definitions of EBP which emphasize integrating the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. The document notes that clinical practices become outdated if new evidence is not incorporated. It highlights the importance of EBP in improving patient care and outcomes. Examples of research on manual therapy for neck pain, shortwave diathermy for low back pain, and a survey of Malaysian physiotherapists' treatment preferences for low back pain are provided to illustrate EBP. The introduction to research section outlines the importance of clinical research and different types including experimental and non-experimental research.
This document outlines the steps for designing a quantitative clinical study, including developing the research question, conducting a literature review, determining an appropriate design such as a randomized controlled trial, identifying relevant samples, developing measures, collecting and analyzing data, and disseminating results. Key considerations include assessing the clinical significance of the problem, ensuring feasibility, and addressing potential threats to internal and external validity. The goal is to generate high-quality evidence that can improve patient outcomes.
The document discusses the role of EBP mentors in sustaining evidence-based practice according to the ARCC model. It states that EBP mentors are key to maintaining changes, can be any clinician with EBP expertise and a desire to help others, and perform various roles like role modeling, educating others, and assessing organizations' EBP culture. The primary goal of the ARCC model is to promote EBP in healthcare settings using strategies like mentorship.
This document discusses creating a vision and motivating organizational change to evidence-based practice. It emphasizes establishing an exciting shared vision and SMART goals. A SCOT analysis aids strategic planning by identifying strengths, challenges, opportunities, and threats. Successful change requires action, persistence and patience. Models discussed include Kotter and Cohen's model prioritizing emotion, and the Transtheoretical model framing change as a process. Personality styles and overcoming barriers are also addressed.
This document discusses several models that guide the implementation of evidence-based practice. It describes models such as the Stetler Model, the Iowa Model, the Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change, the ARCC Model, PARIHS, the Clinical Scholar Model, and the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model. Each model outlines steps or phases for implementing evidence-based changes in practice and considers factors like evidence, context, and facilitation. Feedback loops and pilot studies are elements of some models, including the Iowa Model.
The document describes several models for transitioning evidence into nursing practice, including the CURN model which assists nurses in incorporating new research into clinical practice, the Stetler model which is a critical thinking model to facilitate safe use of research findings, and the Iowa model which provides guidance for clinical decision making and details for implementing evidence-based practice. It also discusses strategies for overcoming barriers to connecting research and practice such as organizational culture barriers and nurses' belief systems through initiatives like journal clubs and training on research skills.
This document discusses writing research proposals, including the typical structure and content of different types of proposals. It provides guidance on developing proposals for student research, quantitative research, qualitative research, condensed proposals for funding, and preproposals. Key sections that should be included are an introduction, literature review, methods, and procedures. Approval from institutional review boards and other relevant committees is also addressed.
The document discusses critical appraisal of nursing research. Critical appraisal involves systematically and objectively examining all aspects of a research study to judge its strengths, weaknesses, and significance. It is an important skill for nurses to have in order to evaluate research and determine how findings can inform nursing practice.
