**Sinusitis**, dem sanso know as **rhinosinusitis** den commonly known as a **sinus infection**, be an inflammation of de mucous membranes wey line de sinuses wey dey result in symptoms wey fi include production of thick nasal mucus, nasal congestion, facial congestion, facial pain, facial pressure, loss of smell, anaa fever.

Sinusitis be a condition wey dey affect both kiddies den adults. E be caused by a combination of environmental factors den a person ein health factors. E fi occur insyd individuals plus allergies, exposure to environmental irritants, structural abnormalities of de nasal cavity den sinuses den poor immune function. Chaw cases be caused by a viral infection. Recurrent episodes be more likely insyd people plus asthma, cystic fibrosis, den immunodeficiency.

De diagnosis of sinusitis be based on de symptoms den dema duration along plus signs of disease wey endoscopic den/anaa radiologic criteria identify. Sinusitis be classified into acute sinusitis, subacute sinusitis, den chronic sinusitis. Insyd acute sinusitis, symptoms dey last for less dan four weeks, den insyd subacute sinusitis, dem dey last between 4 den 12 weeks. Insyd chronic sinusitis, symptoms for be present for at least 12 weeks. Insyd de initial evaluation of sinusitis an otolaryngologist, dem sanso know as an ear, nose den throat (ENT) doctor, fi confirm sinusitis dey use nasal endoscopy. Diagnostic imaging no usually be needed insyd de acute stage unless complications be suspected. Insyd chronic cases, confirmatory testing be recommended by use of computed tomography.

Prevention of sinusitis dey focus on regular hand washing, staying up-to-date on vaccinations, den avoiding smoking. Pain killers such as naproxen, nasal steroids, den nasal irrigation fi be used to help plus symptoms. Recommended initial treatment give acute sinusitis be watchful waiting. If symptoms no dey improve insyd 7–10 days anaa worsen, then an antibiotic fi be implemented anaa changed. Insyd those insyd whom antibiotics be indicated, either amoxicillin anaa amoxicillin/clavulanate be recommended first line, wey amoxicillin/clavulanate be superior to amoxicillin alone buh plus more side effects. Surgery fi be recommended insyd those plus chronic disease wey fail medical management.

Sinusitis be a common condition. E dey affect between about 10 den 30 percent of people each year insyd de United States den Europe. De management of sinusitis insyd de United States dey result in more dan US$11 billion insyd costs.

# Pulmonary embolism

pulmonary embolism

class of disease| Subclass of | pulmonary artery disease, disease  |
| Health specialty | cardiology, hematology, pulmonology  |
| Symptoms and signs | Hampton hump, Westermark sign  |
| ICD-9-CM | 415.19  |
| ICPC 2 ID | K93  |

**Pulmonary embolism** (**PE**) be a blockage of an artery insyd de lungs by a substance wey move from elsewer insyd de body thru de bloodstream (embolism). Symptoms of a PE fi include shortness of breath, chest pain particularly upon breathing in, den coughing up blood. Symptoms of a blood clot insyd de leg sanso fi be present, such as a red, warm, swollen, den painful leg. Signs of a PE dey include low blood oxygen levels, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, den sam times a mild fever. Severe cases fi lead to passing out, abnormally low blood pressure, obstructive shock, den sudden death.

PE usually dey result from a blood clot insyd de leg wey travel to de lung. De risk of blood clots be increased by advanced age, cancer, prolonged bed rest den immobilization, smoking, stroke, long-haul travel over 4 hours, certain genetic conditions, estrogen-based medication, pregnancy, obesity, trauma anaa bone fracture, den after sam types of surgery. A small proportion of cases be secof de embolization of air, fat, anaa amniotic fluid. Diagnosis be based on signs den symptoms in combination plus test results. If de risk be low, a blood test dem know as a D-dimer fi rule out de condition. Oda wise, a CT pulmonary angiography, lung ventilation/perfusion scan, anaa ultrasound of de legs fi confirm de diagnosis. Togeda, deep vein thrombosis den PE be known as venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Efforts to prevent PE dey include beginning to move as soon as possible after surgery, lower leg exercises during periods of sitting, den de use of blood thinners after sam types of surgery. Treatment be plus anticoagulant medications such as heparin, warfarin, anaa one of de direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Dem dey recommend dese to be taken for at least three months. However, treatment dey use low-molecular-weight heparin no be recommended for those at high risk of bleeding anaa those plus renal failure. Severe cases fi require thrombolysis using medication such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) given intravenously anaa thru a catheter, wey sam fi require surgery (a pulmonary thrombectomy). If blood thinners no be appropriate anaa safe to use, a temporary vena cava filter fi be used.

Pulmonary emboli dey affect about 430,000 people each year insyd Europe. Insyd de United States, between 300,000 den 600,000 cases dey occur each year, wich dey contribute to at least 40,000 deaths. Rates be similar insyd males den females. Dem cam be more common as people get older.
