27
Squamous cell carcinoma
Irregular borders or crusty surface
28
Melanoma
Multiple colors and irregular borders
29
Eyes
Pupil - black? React equally to light? Sclera: white? Iris: colored?
30
Ptosis is
lid of eyes lag - sometimes a sign or a stroke
31
Ocular hypertelorism
excess spacing btw eyes - caused by formation of the sphenoid bone
32
Expothalmos
Bulging eyes, sign of hyperthyroidism, megligancy, graves disease
33
Yellow sclera of the eye
hepatotoxicity -> hepatitis or jaundice
34
Lymph nodes are
part of the lymphatic system (thymus, spleen, and bone marrow) and filters
35
Lymph node groups
Cervical (head/neck) Axillary (underarm) Inguinal (groin) Internal (pelvic, abdominal, thoracic): cannot palpate
36
Cervical lymph nodes
300 in the head/neck area/800 in body. Submental, submandibular, parotid/jugulodigastric, preauricular, postauricular, occipital, anterior cervical chain, supraclavicular, posterior cervical chain
37
Healthy lymph nodes
Soft like a grape vs firm like a ball | Moveable vs. fixed (attached)
38
Lymphadenopathy
any abnormality in size, consistency, and number. | Describe any abnormality fully: location, size, tenderness, consistency, mobility
39
Lymph nodes abnormalities
enlargement/tenderness (usually cold/local infection) Change in firmness (rubbery - possible cancer) Fixed - attached to underlying tissue (possible cancer)
40
Cervical lymph node enlargement - what do you do?
Rule out infection - teeth, tonsils, respiratory. Search for cancer Watch for 2 weeks, if still present: refer to ENT
41
Clues to routine swelling from recent infection
tender, mobile, current or recent viral infection, bilateral, predictable locations, long duration without change
42
Mumps
infection of the parotid gland: swelling in the cheek + sore lymph nodes
43
Thyroid
Larynx and trachea (windpipe) | "Adam's apple"
44
Thyroid exam
``` gently place fingers on either side of Adam's apple then slide to just below it ask pt to swallow fell gland rise up, then drop back feel for any asymmetry or lumps ```
45
Lip landmarks
philtrum, vermillion border, commissures (angles or corners)
46
Angular chelitis where and why?
corners of mouth (saliva builds up), usually candida. Caused by drooling or dry mouth, elderly, immunosuppressed, anemic, kids with binkys
47
TMD
Collection of symptoms. 20% of US. 85.4% women. Primarily ages 20-40
48
TMD symptoms
``` joint pain (76%) headaches (82%) ringing ears = tinnitus insomnia neck ache dizziness teeth sens to H and C ```
49
TMD diagnostic classes
Muscle, soft tissue of the joint, or hard tissue of the joint
50
Causes of TMD
Bruxism, clenching, stress, malocclusion, arthritis, trauma, ergonomics
51
TMJ screening questions
1. Do you have difficulty, pain or both when opening you mouth wide? 2. Does your jaw get "stuck" or "locked or "go out" 3. Do you have difficulty, pain or both when chewing, talking or using your jaw? 4. Are you aware or noises in the jaw joints? 5. Do you have pain in or around the ears, temples, or cheeks? 6. Does your bite feel uncomfy or unusual? 7. do you have frequent headaches? 8. have you had a recent injury to your head, neck or jaw? 9. When did this pain start? Emotional trigger?

52
TMJ palpation
palpate bony prominence - just anterior to ear, start off light, then add to moderate pressure, "any discomfort?" then have pt open and close, "any discomfort?" then palpate all around joint
53
TMJ diagnostic exam
measure range of motion (opening and right and left lateral) palate for crepitus (grinding and clicking while opening and closing palpate for tenderness in the master and temporals muscles
54
Muscles of mastication
masseter, temporalis, 4-6 lbs pressure, tenderness scale (0 = no discomfort and 3= extreme sensitivity)
55
TMD exam
excessive tooth mobility, migration in the absence of perio ds, buccal mucosal ridging, lateral tongue scalloping, inspect symmetry and alignment of - face, jaws, and dental arches
56
Treatment of TMD
Stabilization appliance therapy - repositioning splint, night guards, and localized interference guards. Meds: anti-inflammatory, antianxiety TENS: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation Surgery: very rare
57
Sources of TMD
Occlusion, trauma, emotional stress, referred pain form CV disease?
58
TMJ and occlusion
pure canine guidance only 20% of US, greater the slide = greater the instability, can have stable malocclusions = adaptation
59
Referred pain
``` Temporalis = generally ant teeth Masseter = generally post teeth ```
