Flexible Cystoscopy

 Flexible Cystoscopy




flexible cystoscopy is a type of endoscopy and is done on the cyst-urinary bladder,
 

 



The literal meaning of the term Flexible cystoscopy

 So flexible cystoscopy is made up of 2 words flexible and cystoscopy  and cystoscopy is made up of 2 different words cyst and scope 

So lets see the meaning of cyst and scope and flexible 

Cystoscopy

 here cyst is referring to the Urinary bladder

Cyst  in medical terms is a membranous sac or cavity of abnormal character in the body, containing fluid.
Scope is meaning to see the inside of something with the help of a small camera attached to a thin string

and SCOPY is to look into somethicg with the help of a device ,  indicating viewing, observation, or examination, typically with an instrument having a name ending in -scope.

Flexible here is reffering to a soft and very fine tube


 

  

Meaning 


So all in all flexible endoscopy is an examination in which the interior of the urinary bladder is examined with a very fine , soft tube which has a small telescopic camera attached to its front end. 

 



 

 

 

Advantages of flexible endoscopy 

And one of the major advantages of the procedure is that due to the soft nature of the tube, the procedure itself can be carried out with the help of local anesthetic rather than its counter part general endocopy which is mostly done with the help of general anesthetic

mischelenious

Now if we are discussing about flexible endoscopy then there should be a normal or hard or most commonly known as rigid endoscopy,  curious , its also known as the traditional endoscopy and the topic of rigid endoscopy is topic for a later date,

Drug Overdose and Poisoning

 Poisoning of some Drugs poisoning caused by some drugs and how to deal with them 1. Poisoning with muscarine: Symptoms:   miosis,  blurred vision,  increased salivation,  excessive sweating,  lacrimation,  bronchial secretions,  bronchoconstriction,  bradycardia,  abdominal cramping,  increased gastric acid secretion,  diarrhea and polyuria (it might cause also tremor, convulsions and hypothermia). Miosis A s we all are well aware that muscarine is a acetylcholine agonist which in turn stimulates the cholinergic receptors which are an integral part of Parasympathetic post synaptic receptors and sympathetic sweat receptors all are triggered by acetyl choline agonist muscarine leading to all the above mentioned symptoms and so to treat it we use a Acetylcholine Antagonist which block the channels that are being stimulated leading to the blockage of all the response of the choline related reactions. Treatment:  The dru...

Skeletal Muscle Relaxatants and reversal agents

Skeletal Muscle Relaxants So we have 2 types of muscle relaxants:- Those which work on the CNS ( Central ) those who work on the muscle and their NM receptors (peripheral) Central Muscle Relaxant So to use center in material relaxants we need a drug which stimulates the receptors present in the CNS and such receptors are          GABA a receptors – Diazepam      GABA b   receptors --- Baclofen      alpha 2 receptors(acts like break )- t izanidine      Another group of centrally acting muscle relaxants are those which act by inhibiting the polysynaptic reflexes examples - Mephensin ,Chlorzoxazone, thiocolchicoside   Peripheral muscle relaxants there are two types:-   directly acting and indirectly acting Directly acting :-   they directly act on the muscles d irectly acting-dantrolene :- works by blocking ryanodine receptor in endoplasmic reticulum from muscles Ryanodine receptor...
