📌 Furuncle in the Ear Canal: Key Points • 🔬 Furuncle is a staphylococcal infection of the hair follicle. • 🌟 Hair is confined to the cartilaginous part of the ear meatus, so furuncle typically occurs only in this part of the ear canal. • 🦠 Staphylococcus is the common cause of furuncle. • 💧 10% ichthammol glycerine helps reduce oedema due to its hygroscopic action and has mild antiseptic properties. • 🔍 Periauricular lymph nodes may become enlarged and tender. #ENT #Clinical #EarHealth #MedicalFacts #NEET #Staphylococcus #MedicalEducation #Healthcare #Infection

🗣️ Understanding Vocal Cord Muscles 🗣️ Let's dive into the key muscles involved in vocal cord functions! 🎶🧬 1. Abductor of vocal cords: Posterior cricoarytenoid. 2. Adductor of vocal cords: Lateral cricoarytenoid and Interarytenoid (transverse arytenoid). 3. Tensor of vocal cords: Cricothyroid and Vocalis (internal part of thyroarytenoid). 4. Openers of the laryngeal inlet: Thyroepiglottic. 5. Closers of the laryngeal inlet: Interarytenoid (oblique part) and Aryepiglottic (posterior oblique part of interarytenoids). 6. Openers of the laryngeal inlet: Thyroepiglottic (part of thyroarytenoid). Understanding these muscles is crucial for professionals in voice and medical fields! 📚💡 #Anatomy #VocalCords #MedicalKnowledge #VoiceScience

📢 European Laryngological Society: Classification of Laryngeal Endoscopic Cordectomies 📢 🔹 Type I: Subepithelial cordectomy - Resection of the epithelium. 🔹 Type II: Sub-ligamental cordectomy - Resection of epithelium, Reinke's space, and vocal ligament. 🔹 Type III: Transmuscular cordectomy - Proceeds through the vocalis muscle. 🔹 Type IV: Total cordectomy. 🔹 Type Va: Extended cordectomy - Includes contralateral vocal fold and anterior commissure. 🔹 Type Vb: Extended cordectomy - Includes the arytenoid. 🔹 Type Vc: Extended cordectomy - Encompasses the subglottis. 🔹 Type Vd: Extended cordectomy - Includes the ventricle. 📝 Ensuring better definitions for improved surgical outcomes! #ENT #Surgery #Laryngology #Cordectomy #MedicalUpdate

📢 Understanding the Larynx: Paired & Unpaired Cartilages 🎶 Hey everyone! Let's dive into the fascinating world of the larynx and its cartilages. 📚 🗣️ Unpaired Cartilages: 1. Thyroid Cartilage 🛡️: The largest, often called the "Adam's apple." 2. Cricoid Cartilage 💍: Shaped like a signet ring, located below the thyroid cartilage. 3. Epiglottis 🍃: Leaf-shaped, it covers the glottis during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway. 🗣️ Paired Cartilages: 1. Arytenoid Cartilages 🎭: Pyramid-shaped, crucial for vocal cord movement. 2. Corniculate Cartilages 🔺: Small, horn-shaped, sitting atop the arytenoids. 3. Cuneiform Cartilages ⚙️: Rod-shaped, within the aryepiglottic folds, supporting the laryngeal structure. The interplay of these cartilages is key to voice production and protecting the airway. 🗣️🎤 Stay curious and keep exploring! 🔍✨ #Anatomy #Larynx #VoiceScience
