The salivary glands are innervated by both the autonomic and somatic nervous systems. Here’s a detailed overview of the nerves that innervate the major salivary glands:

# # # Major Salivary Glands
1. **Parotid Gland**
- **Nerve Supply:**
- **Parasympathetic Innervation:** The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) provides parasympathetic fibers that originate in the otic ganglion. Preganglionic fibers travel with the lesser petrosal nerve, synapting in the otic ganglion, and postganglionic fibers then travel to innervate the parotid gland.
- **Sympathetic Innervation:** The sympathetic fibers arise from the superior cervical ganglion and travel to the gland via the external carotid artery.

2. **Submandibular Gland**
- **Nerve Supply:**
- **Parasympathetic Innervation:** The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) gives rise to the chorda tympani, which then joins the lingual nerve. The preganglionic fibers synapse in the submandibular ganglion, and postganglionic fibers innervate the submandibular gland.
- **Sympathetic Innervation:** Like the parotid gland, sympathetic fibers come from the superior cervical ganglion and follow the external carotid artery.

3. **Sublingual Gland**
- **Nerve Supply:**
- **Parasympathetic Innervation:** The same pathway as the submandibular gland (facial nerve via the chorda tympani).
- **Sympathetic Innervation:** Also similar to submandibular, with fibers originating from the superior cervical ganglion.

# # # Minor Salivary Glands
The minor salivary glands, located throughout the oral cavity, are also innervated by autonomic nerves:
- **Parasympathetic Innervation:** Primarily from the facial nerve (via the branches of the lingual nerve, glossopharyngeal, or directly).
- **Sympathetic Innervation:** From the cervical sympathetic ganglia.

# # # Function
- **Parasympathetic Stimulation:** Increases saliva production, stimulating secretion of watery saliva that contains enzymes.
- **Sympathetic Stimulation:** May decrease saliva production, resulting in thicker saliva and reduced secretion.

# # # Summary
Understanding the nerve supply of the salivary glands is crucial for understanding their physiological function, the production of saliva, and the impact of various medical conditions or treatments on salivary secretion.

SKIN DISEASES

Allergies, irritants, genetic makeup, certain diseases, and immune system problems can cause skin conditions.

Types of Skin Disease
>>>Acne
It is caused when blocked skin follicles from a plug caused by oil from glands, bacteria, and dead cells clump together and swell.

>>Alopecia Areata
It is a condition that attacks your hair follicles (they make hair). In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches.

>>Atopic Dermatitis
It is a skin disease causing much itchiness. Scratching leads to redness, swelling, cracking, weeping clear fluid, crusting, and scaling.

>>Epidermolysis Bullosa
It is a group of diseases causing painful blisters to form on the skin. These blisters can cause problems if they become infected.

>>Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
Hidradenitis suppurativa (also known as acne inversa) is a chronic, noncontagious, inflammatory condition characterized by pimple-like bumps or boils and tunnels or tracts on and under the skin.

>>Ichthyosis
It is a disorder that causes dry, thickened skin that may look similar to fish scales.

>>Pachyonychia Congenita
It is a rare disorder causing thick nails and painful calluses on the bottoms of the feet and other symptoms.

>>Pemphigus
It is a disease where the immune system attacks healthy cells in the top layer of skin, resulting in blisters.

>>Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, scaly skin that may feel painful, swollen, or hot. Learn more about the types and what causes psoriasis.

>>Raynaud’s Phenomenon
It is a disease that affects blood vessels. It causes your body to not send enough blood to the hands and feet for a period of time.

>>Rosacea
It is a long-term disease that causes reddened skin and pimples, usually on the face. It can also make the skin thicker and cause eye problems.

>>Scleroderma
Scleroderma causes patches of tight, hard skin, but can also harm your blood vessels and organs. Learn the causes and treatments of this skin disease.

>>Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a disorder that causes patches of skin to become white. It happens because cells that make color in your skin are destroyed.

CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER!!

CIRRHOSIS is a late-stage liver disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue and the liver is permanently damaged. Scar tissue keeps your liver from working properly.

Many types of liver diseases and conditions injure healthy liver cells, causing cell death and inflammation. This is followed by cell repair and finally tissue scarring as a result of the repair process.

The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the liver’s ability to process nutrients, hormones, drugs and natural toxins (poisons). It also reduces the production of proteins and other substances made by the liver. Cirrhosis eventually keeps the liver from working properly. Late-stage cirrhosis is life-threatening.

A normal liver is always brown to reddish brown in color with smooth exterior surface.

Common causes include
-alcohol use disorder,
-hepatitis and
-non-alcohol related fatty liver disease.

You are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver if you:
-Use alcohol for many years.
-Have viral hepatitis.
-Have diabetes.
-Have obesity.
-Inject drugs using shared needles.
-Have a history of liver disease.
-Have unprotected s*x.

IS CIRRHOSIS CANCER?
No, cirrhosis of the liver isn’t cancer. However, most people who have liver cancer have cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis, you have an increased risk of liver cancer. If you have hepatitis B or hepatitis C, you have an increased risk of liver cancer because these diseases often lead to cirrhosis. Any cause of liver disease can lead to cirrhosis, which increases your chance of liver cancer.

Early symptoms and signs of cirrhosis include:
-Loss of appetite.
-Feeling weak or tired.
-Nausea.
-Fever.
-Unexpected weight loss.

As liver function gets worse, other more commonly recognized symptoms of cirrhosis appear including:

-Easy bruising and bleeding.
-Yellow tint to your skin or the whites of your eyes (jaundice).
-Itchy skin.
-Swelling (edema) in your legs, feet and ankles.
-Fluid buildup in your belly/abdomen (ascites).
-Brownish or orange color to your urine.
-Light-colored stools.
-Confusion, difficulty thinking, memory loss, personality changes.
-Blood in your stool.
-Redness in the palms of your hands.
-Spider-like blood vessels that surround small, red spots on your skin (telangiectasias).
-In men: loss of s*x drive, enlarged breasts (gynecomastia), shrunken testicles.
-In women: premature menopause (no longer having your menstrual period).

COMPLICATION OF CIRRHOSIS.
Portal hypertension: Includes,
-Swelling (edema) in your legs, ankles or feet.
-Buildup of fluids in your abdomen (called ascites).
-Swelling/enlargement of your spleen (splenomegaly).
-Formation and dilation (expansion) of blood vessels in the lungs (hepatopulmonary syndrome), leading to low levels of oxygen in the blood and body and shortness of breath.
-Failure of kidney function as a result of having portal hypertension as a complication of cirrhosis (hepatorenal syndrome). This is a type of kidney failure.
-Confusion, difficulty thinking, changes in your behavior, even coma. This occur when toxins from your intestines aren’t removed by your damaged liver and circulate in the bloodstream and buildup in your brain (a condition called hepatic encephalopathy).
OTHER COMPLICATIONS

Hypersplenism: Hypersplenism is an overactive spleen. This condition causes quick and premature destruction of blood cells.

Infections: Cirrhosis increases your risk of getting and fighting serious infections, such as bacterial peritonitis (infection of the tissue that lines the inner wall of your abdomen).

Malnutrition: Your liver processes nutrients. A damaged liver makes this more difficult and leads to weight loss and general weakness.

Liver cancer: Most people who develop liver cancer have cirrhosis of the liver.

Liver failure: Many diseases and conditions cause liver failure including cirrhosis of the liver. As its name implies, liver failure occurs when your liver isn’t working well enough to perform its many functions.

STAGES OF CIRRHOSIS
1_COMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS_ means you have cirrhosis but you don’t yet have noticeable symptoms (you are asymptomatic).
2_ DECOMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS_means your cirrhosis has worsened to the point that you have noticeable symptoms.

NO CURE,Take note...
-Stop drinking alcohol.
-Treat chronic hepatitis (if you have it).
-Avoid medications that stress the liver.
-Eat a healthy, well-balanced, low-fat diet, such as the Mediterranean diet.

HERNIA
Hernia-Is bulging of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening.
Typically, a hernia involves the stomach or intestine.

SYMPTOMS

Swelling or bulge in the groin or sc***um (the pouch that contains the testicles).

Increased pain at the site of the bulge.

Pain while lifting.

Increase in the bulge size over time.

A dull aching sensation.

A sense of feeling full or signs of bowel obstruction.

CAUSES OF HERNIA
straining on the toilet (due to long-term constipation, for example)

persistent cough

cystic fibrosis

enlarged prostate

straining to urinate

being overweight or obese

abdominal fluid

lifting heavy items

peritoneal dialysis

poor nutrition

smoking

physical exertion

undescended testicles

TYPES OF HERNIA
1. Abdominal hernia

Abdominal hernias develop in the area above your groin and below your ribcage. There are a few different types of abdominal hernias, including hiatal, epigastric, and umbilical.

Hiatal hernia

A hiatal hernia forms when the upper portion of your stomach pushes through your diaphragm and into your ribcage. It’s one of the most common types of hernia, affecting up to 60% of people by the time they reach 60.

Symptoms of hiatal hernia include acid reflux, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.

Epigastric hernia

Epigastric hernias are found above your belly button and below your ribcage. You may notice a small lump or soreness in the affected area, but not all epigastric hernias cause symptoms.

Epigastric hernias may trigger pain when you cough, sneeze, or strain.

Umbilical hernia

Umbilical hernias develop in or near your belly button. A weak spot around your belly button may be susceptible to hernia and organs or tissue begin pushing through, creating a visible bulge. It may be worse when you cough or use the toilet.

2. Groin hernia

Inguinal hernias are possibly the most common type of hernia, with an estimated 27% of men developing one at some point in their lifetimes. These hernias develop when tissue or organs push through the lower abdominal wall into the groin. A lump may be visible in the groin or sc***um.

Femoral hernias- are less common, making up 2-4% of all groin hernias. Both men and women can develop inguinal and femoral hernias, but femoral hernias are much more common in women.

A femoral hernia may create a small lump in the groin or inner thigh. Because they’re often located close to the femoral artery and vein, femoral hernias often require surgery to reduce the risk of complications.

3. Incisional hernia

Incisional hernias can develop after a surgical procedure. If you’ve had abdominal surgery, it’s possible that the incision didn’t heal correctly and left a weak spot in your abdominal wall. Organs or tissue can protrude through the incision, creating a noticeable bulge around the incision scar

CAN IT BE HEALED ON THEIR OWN
Hernias cannot heal on their own — if left untreated, they usually get bigger and more painful, and can cause serious health risks in some cases.” If the wall through which the intestine is protruding closes shut, it can cause a strangulated hernia, which cuts off blood flow to the bowel.

Non-surgical approaches such as wearing a corset, binder, or truss may exert gentle pressure on the hernia and keep it in place. These methods may ease the pain or discomfort and may be used if you are not fit for the surgery or awaiting surgery.

Types Of Surgery

-Open surgical repair
closes the hernia using sutures, mesh, or both, and the surgical wound in the skin is closed with sutures, staples, or surgical glue.

-Laparoscopic repair
is used for repeat operations to avoid previous scars, and while usually more expensive, is less likely to cause complications such as infection.
Surgical repair of a hernia guided by a laparoscope allows for the use of smaller incisions, enabling a faster recovery from the operation.
The hernia is repaired in the same way as in open surgery, but it is guided by a small camera and a light introduced through a tube. Surgical instruments are inserted through another small incision. The abdomen is inflated with gas to help the surgeon see better and give them space to work; the whole operation is performed under general anesthetic.

TREATMENT
-Surgery
-Palliative care

WHAT HAPPENS IF UNTREATED
If it is left untreated, a strangulated hernia can lead to life-threatening conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis (severe inflammation of intestine) and sepsis. Since hernias can happen to anyone at any age, knowing warning signs of hernias and being aware of them are essential.

Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries. After the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube, where fertilization by a s***m cell may occur.

After me**es, the woman must watch out for some body changes such as
*Increase urge for s*x.
* breast tenderness
*white egg like consistency of the vaginal discharge.

* head ache etc one's bodily changes differs from one person to another.

*pain on the left flank or right flank
*pain on a spot in any part of the breast
*persistent and sustained temperature
*head ache

To know the ovulation date, you must keep three things in mind

1) the day your period starts is the day one of your cycle
2)your menstrual cycle either 28days, 24days etc
3)days of flow. I.e is it 3days, 4day 6days,5days etc.

Ovulation usually occur on day 14 in an average of 28days cycle and every other.

™✓So if your cycle is 28day for example,
28-14=14 so the 14th say is your ovulation.

™✓Fertile period is 12th,13th are fertile period while 14th is the ovulation day. So any day from the 12th day till 15th day a woman can be pregnant if he meets the husband.

™✓If your flow is 4days, your safe period will be from day 5,6,7,8,9 so u will not get pregnant if you have s*x and also from day 16 till the next period is also safe.. But there is high chance on ovulation day.

™✓If its 29days cycle, subtract 14 from 29 Giving you 15.therefore the woman will ovulate on the 15th day of the cycle.if the flow is 5days, safe period will be from day 6,7,8,9,10,11, and around day 17 till next period you are safe to play with hubby.

™✓That's the simple way to calculate your ovulation

Ovulation typically lasts one day and occurs in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle, about two weeks before she expects to get her period.

But the timing of the process varies for each woman, and it may even vary from month to month.

IF YOUR PERIOD STARTS TODAY, 14DAYS AGO WAS YOUR OVULATION.

A couple will be more likely to conceive if they have s*x a day or two before a woman ovulates and the day of ovulation.
