                        LUDWIG ANGINA STUDENTS CORNER : HI !my dear stencildent family ,today we will be discussing about a very important topic ,yes its about Ludwig angina here we given a sample as to how you can present this answer when asked first of all do start by listing out table of content ,then move on to describing the surgical anatomy ,reason for Ludwig angina existence and how it gets precipitated ,pathology ,clinical features ,management -surgery point of view and conclude with complications.                         TABLE OF CONTENT : INTRODUCTION SURGICAL ANATOMY ETIOLOGY PRECIPITATAING FACTOR PATHOLOGY CLINICAL FEATURES MANAGEMENT  SURGERY COMPLICATION INTRODUCTIO N: Ludwig angina refers to serious ,potentially life threatening polymicrobial cellulitis of submental ,submandibular region combined with inflammatory edema of mouth Organism commonly isolated : STAPHYLOCOCUS AUREUS ,STREPTOCOCUS VIRIDAN ANEROBE :Fusiform bacilli,diptheroid  Cellulitis:  Diffuse inflammation

                              ODONSETRON  Pro type of anti-emetic drug Controls cancer chemotherapy /radiotherapy ,drug induced vomiting. MECHANISM OF ACTION: It blocks depolarization of 5 HT through 5-HT3 receptor on vagal  afferent in gastro intestinal tract. Cytotoxic drugs/chemotherapy causes cellular damage there by induce vomiting ,thereby release of mediator of 5-HT from intestinal mucosa,activation of vagal afferent in gut and sends emetogenic impulse to NTS. Odonsetron blocks emetogenic impulses both at peripheral and central relay  PHARMACOKINETICS: Oral bio availability :60-70% Eliminated in urine ,faceces SIDE EFFECTS : Headache Mild constipation Rashes  Allergic reaction  CONCLUSION: Hi stencildent family hope you all liked this short notes on odonsetron if it helped you learn then do let me know in the comment section below as this would motivate me to post more such content .                                   Thank you  NOTE: pharmacology notes are for purely educational

      REACTIONARY HEMORRHAGE  INTRODUCTION: The term hemorrhage refers to excess loss of blood due to rupture of blood vessel STUDENTS CORNER : Start your answer by giving a short introduction to the topic followed by table of contents ,it can be visa versa to ,under the table of content mention etiology ,precipitating factors, pathophysiology ,clinical features and end it with treatment plan . Now let me give you a mnemonic that I used while preparing in order to remember etiology remember HTC MTC where: H-HYDROCELE SURGERY   T-THYROID SURGERY   C-CHOLECYSTECTOMY  M-MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERIES T-TONSILLECTOMY  C-CIRCUMSICION .  To remember precipitating factors the mnemonic as:   PBS ,CVS P(SILENT )  B- BLOOD PRESSURE  S-STRAING   C-CLOT DISLODGEMENT   V- VOMITING  S - SLIPPING OF LIGATURE .
