Skin and Skin Structure Anaerobic Infections
Anaerobic bacteria are a significant cause of skin and skin structure infections (SSTIs), particularly in polymicrobial wounds. These pathogens thrive in environments with low oxygen…
Skin and Skin Structure Acinetobacter Infections
Acinetobacter species, particularly Acinetobacter baumannii, are gram-negative, opportunistic pathogens implicated in a range of healthcare-associated infections. Among these, skin and skin structure infections (SSTIs) pose…
Skeletal Muscle Relaxation for Endotracheal Intubation
In cesarean section (C-section) procedures, rapid and effective airway management is critical. Endotracheal intubation, facilitated by skeletal muscle relaxants, ensures adequate oxygenation and ventilation while…
Skeletal Muscle Relaxation for Endotracheal Intubation
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure in airway management requiring adequate suppression of airway reflexes and muscular activity. Skeletal muscle relaxation facilitates this by allowing…
Sjogren’s Syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder that primarily targets the body’s exocrine glands—most notably the salivary and lacrimal glands—leading to dryness of the…
Sitosterolemia
Sitosterolemia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of plant sterols (phytosterols) in the body, particularly sitosterol. This condition disrupts cholesterol metabolism,…
Sinus Tachycardia Secondary to Antipsychotic Medication
Sinus tachycardia secondary to antipsychotic medication is a clinically significant yet under-recognized cardiovascular side effect encountered in psychiatric treatment. The interplay between neuroleptic drugs and…
Sinus Tachycardia
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the sinoatrial (SA) node increases its firing rate, resulting in a heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute while…
Sinus Headache
Sinus headache is characterized by pain and pressure in the face due to inflammation or infection of the paranasal sinuses. While commonly attributed to sinusitis,…
