Common surgical problems of the head and neck.

In most cases of epistaxis, bleeding can be controlled with anterior nasal packing or a Foley balloon catheter. If this fails, posterior packing and otolaryngologic consultation are indicated. In initial assessment of injuries of the head and neck, a classification that is useful divides the region into the following anatomic systems: integumentary, respiratory, vascular, neurologic, musculoskeletal, and digestive. The possible effects of injury on each of these must be considered. The early detection of asymptomatic cancers of the head and neck by primary care physicians depends in large part on a routine of systematic examination and a knowledge of the clinicopathologic course of the disease. A seemingly harmless lump in the neck may well be a cervical node metastasis from an occult primary tumor.

The other electrolytes: magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

Other electrolytes besides sodium and potassium are important to ensure that the human body functions properly. Three of these are magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. Each one has a normal level and specific assignments. If these levels are not maintained, homeostasis ceases to exist, and imbalance ensues. This article discusses the causes, signs, symptoms, and treatments of imbalance of these electrolytes.

The major electrolytes: sodium, potassium, and chloride.

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate in solution and have the ability to conduct an electrical current. These substances are located in the extracellular and intracellular fluid. Within the extracellular fluid, the major cation is sodium and the major anion is chloride. The major cation in the intracellular fluid is potassium. These electrolytes play an important role in maintaining homeostasis. In this article, the etiology, signs, symptoms, and treatments for imbalances of these three electrolytes are reviewed.
