Crohn/s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. A key pathological feature of Crohn/s disease is the presence of non-caseating granulomas (collections of inflammatory cells) in the affected tissue. These granulomas are not typically found in ulcerative colitis, the other major type of IBD.

1. Rate: A rate is a measure that expresses the change in one variable with
respect to another variable, often over a specific period of time. It is
typically used to express quantities like speed, velocity, heart rate, or the
occurrence of an event within a given time frame. For instance, the rate of a
car traveling might be measured in miles per hour (miles/hour) or the rate of a
reaction in chemistry might be measured in moles per second (mol/s).
2. Distribution: In the context of data analysis, a distribution is a pattern of
the range and frequency of values in a dataset. It can be represented visually
using histograms, box plots, or probability density functions. Distributions
help in understanding the spread and concentration of data and can be
categorized into types such as uniform, normal (bell-shaped), skewed, or
bimodal, among others.
3. Data: This is the raw information or material that is processed to extract
knowledge or insights. Data can be qualitative or quantitative, structured or
unstructured, and is used in various fields for decision-making, analysis, and
research. It can take the form of numbers, text, images, sound, or video, and is
often collected through surveys, experiments, or observations.
4. Frequency: As defined earlier, frequency is the number of occurrences of a
particular value or range of values in a dataset. It is fundamental in creating
frequency distributions and is used in various statistical measures such as
mode, median, and mean to describe the data's characteristics.

A North RAE (Right Angle Endotracheal) tube is typically used for oral surgeries, including bilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, as its angle allows the tube to be directed superiorly over the patient's head. A South RAE tube is typically used for nasal intubation.

Lacrimation during mastication, often referred to as Bogorad/s syndrome or "crocodile tears," is caused by aberrant regeneration of the auriculotemporal nerve after injury, usually due to trauma or surgery involving the parotid gland. The regenerated parasympathetic fibers intended for the parotid gland mistakenly innervate the lacrimal gland, leading to tearing instead of salivation upon eating.
