Hypoglossia
The document discusses hypoglossia-hypodactylia syndrome, which causes an underdeveloped tongue and can be associated with other deformities. It causes feeding, breathing, speech, and swallowing problems. The syndrome affects the 12th cranial nerve and can involve the spleen, gonads, arms, hands, jaws, and face. The document describes a case of a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with the syndrome who received speech therapy and orthodontic treatment to manage the symptoms and prevent complications. Early management of related issues can generally enable patients to live a relatively normal life.

This document provides information on a case study of an interdisciplinary treatment approach for a patient with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patient presented with dentofacial concerns and a history of severe OSA, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and developing diabetes. An interdisciplinary dental/medical team treated the patient's conditions with orthodontics, surgically assisted mandibular expansion to create an implant site, and maxillary and mandibular advancement surgery. This resulted in significant improvement of the patient's OSA, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and quality of sleep according to follow-up tests. The case demonstrates how an interdisciplinary approach can effectively treat complex medical and dental conditions.

The document describes an interdisciplinary orofacial examination protocol for children and adolescents developed by professionals in Barcelona, Spain. The protocol aims to facilitate the efficient detection of alterations in the stomatognatic system through a simple examination that can be completed in 5-8 minutes. It involves extra and intra-oral exploration as well as a parental questionnaire. The protocol was used to examine 185 patients (sample group) and 187 ordinary students (control group) aged 4-16. Alterations in respiration, swallowing, dental malocclusion and posture were compared between groups and across age subgroups.
Assessing the and Throat Essay.docx
This case involves a 20-year-old female college student presenting with a 3-day sore throat. Her symptoms include decreased appetite, headaches, pain with swallowing, runny nose, and slight hoarseness. On examination, she has no swollen lymph nodes or tonsils, but her throat is erythematous. Differential diagnoses could include strep throat, viral pharyngitis, or mononucleosis. Further history and physical exam are needed to guide diagnostic testing and diagnosis.
Orthodontic Diagnosis
This document discusses the process of orthodontic diagnosis. It begins by outlining the traditional and modern approaches to diagnosis. The diagnostic process involves collecting a patient's history, performing a clinical examination, and analyzing diagnostic records to build a database. From this database, a problem list and diagnosis are formulated. The document focuses on the history taking process, including gathering chief complaints, medical/dental history, growth status, and social/behavioral factors.

Make a SOAP Note: Assessing Ear, Nose, and Throat
Most ear, nose, and throat conditions that arise in non-critical care settings are minor in nature. However, subtle symptoms can sometimes escalate into life-threatening conditions that require prompt assessment and treatment. Nurses conducting assessments of the ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes, but would probably perform a simple strep test.
In this Discussion, you consider case studies of abnormal findings from patients in a clinical setting. You determine what history should be collected from the patients, what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.
Note:
By Day 1 of this week, your instructor will have assigned you to one of the following case studies to review for this Discussion. Also, your Discussion post should be in the SOAP Note format, rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in the Week 4 Learning Resources for guidance.
Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.
Case 1:
Nose Focused Exam
Richard is a 50-year-old male with nasal congestion, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and postnasal drainage. Richard has struggled with an itchy nose, eyes, palate, and ears for 5 days. As you check his ears and throat for redness and inflammation, you notice him touch his fingers to the bridge of his nose to press and rub there. He says he's taken Mucinex OTC the past two nights to help him breathe while he sleeps. When you ask if the Mucinex has helped at all, he sneers slightly and gestures that the improvement is only minimal. Richard is alert and oriented. He has pale, boggy nasal mucosa with clear thin secretions and enlarged nasal turbinates, which obstruct airway flow but his lungs are clear. His tonsils are not enlarged but his throat is mildly erythematous.
Case 2:
Focused Throat Exam
Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus over the past two weeks, Lily figured she shouldn't take her three-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily's. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn't sound congested.

Forensic Odontology By Chloe Sterner
Forensic odontology plays a key role in crime scene investigations by analyzing bite marks and aiding in victim identification. Forensic odontologists examine bite marks, dental records, and remains to identify victims when other methods aren't available. They work at autopsy by taking photos, impressions, x-rays and measurements of remains. Forensic odontologists need a DDS, DMD or equivalent degree and certification, which involves dental school education, exams, experience examining autopsies and cases, and passing a certification exam.
