Stimulation of chemoreceptors, particularly baroreceptors, results in a vagal response that leads to a decrease in heart rate, known as bradycardia.

Acute epiglottitis is a life‑threatening emergency usually caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in children.

Classic features:

Sudden onset of high fever
Severe sore throat but minimal oropharyngeal findings
Drooling of saliva (due to painful swallowing)
Stridor (upper airway obstruction)
Muffled voice (“hot potato voice”)
Tripod position (child sits leaning forward to ease breathing)

Differentiation from croup:

Croup: gradual onset, barking cough, usually viral, child not toxic.

Epiglottitis: rapid onset, drooling, toxic appearance, no barking cough.

Management:

Do not attempt throat examination with tongue depressor (risk of sudden airway obstruction).
Secure airway (endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy if needed).
IV antibiotics (e.g., ceftriaxone).
Supportive care.

the Prausnitz and Kustner experiment demonstrated Transfer of serum containing allergen-specific IgE from an allergic person to a non-allergic person induces an allergic reaction. This experiment showed that the allergic state is mediated by a serum component, which we now know is the immunoglobulin E (IgE), and that it can be passively transferred from one individual to another.

Neurological changes are not detected until urine mercury levels exceed 500 µg/L, which is significantly higher than the levels associated with amalgam placement.

Physiology

The glomerular filtration barrier consists of endothelial cells, basement membrane, and podocytes, all of which work together to filter blood in the kidneys.

Anatomy

Lateral pterygoid (paired action):

When both muscles contract together, they pull the condyles and articular discs forward → protrusion of the mandible.

This is important in opening the mouth beyond the initial hinge movement.

Unilateral contraction:

Produces side-to-side (lateral) movements of the mandible, useful in grinding food.

Elevation/Depression:

Elevation is mainly by masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid.

Depression is mainly by suprahyoid muscles (digastric, geniohyoid, mylohyoid) and gravity.

Lateral pterygoid assists in depression only indirectly by pulling the condyle forward, but its primary function is protrusion.

Growth hormone deficiency due to hypopituitarism can manifest at different ages depending on the underlying cause. It is often recognized in childhood when growth patterns are monitored regularly.
