DYSPHAGIA

DYSPHAGIA

Case study
* A 51 yr.old female presented with a hx of dysphagia that has been progressively worsening for months. Initially dysphagia was for solids only but more recently it is for both solids and liquids.
* Which of the following studies will most likely establish the diagnosis
* EGD
* Barium swallow
* CT
* manometry
Case study
* A 52 year-old male executive c/o intermittent dysphagia which began 2 years ago. When he is eating, he has episodes of the sudden sensation of food sticking in his throat after he swallows, lower chest discomfortand hypersalivation. On two occassions the discomfort has caused him to regurgitate undigested food. There is now wt loss.Physical exam is normal
* The most likely diagnosis is
* Achalasia
* Diffuse esophageal spasm
* Esophageal ring
* Peptic stricture
* Adenocarcinoma

INTRODUCTION
* Dysphagia—difficulty with swallowing—is a common condition, reported by 5–8% of the general population aged over 50 years, and by 16% of the elderly.
* Dysphagia, particularly oropharyngeal dysphagia, is even more common in the chronic-care setting; up to 60% of nursing-home occupants have feeding difficulties that include dysphagia.

Conditions of the Vulva and Vagina

Conditions of the Vulva and Vagina
By:Marjorie Greenfield MD
Department of Reproductive Biology
a.k.a
Obstetrics and Gynecology

Learning Objectives
* Know surface anatomy of vulva and vagina
* Name and describe common vulvar conditions—skin, subcut, glandular
* Understand the concept of the vagina as an ecosystem influenced by hormones
* Use the ecosystem model to describe four types of vaginitis

Vaginal structure
The vaginal wall
Vaginal function: sexual
Vaginal function: reproductive
Benign conditions of the vagina
The vagina as ecosystem
Where are the bacteria?
Lactobacilli are the good guys because they make acids
The vaginal ecosystem: estrogen present
The vaginal ecosystem
Vaginitis: Why do you need to know?
Common causes of vaginal symptoms
Bacterial vaginosis: a synergistic bacterial infection
Amsel’s criteria for BV:
Repercussions of BV
Bacterial vaginosis:
Is BV a sexually transmitted infection?
Candida vulvovaginitis
Candida likes an estrogenized environment
Asymptomatic yeast carriage
What determines symptomatic candida vulvovaginitis?
Microscopic diagnosis
Wet prep
KOH prep
