4434. A very smelly right nostril discharge and phelgm on few days around 23.1.2025

  very smelly right nostril discharge and phlegm on few days around 23.1.2025

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filling of Molar 2 has dropped out on 30 Sep 2024.
Went to KTPH to get filling done. It was well done as seen in PM1 (R) in Image 2 on 23 Jan 2025.

On 23 Jan 2025, a very bad breath from R nostril comes from tooth infection in M1 (2nd from L).

 

 

UPPER RIGHT SIDE OF TEETH OF 74-YEAR-OLD MAN

Canine tooth (R) is normal. PM1 is infected and has much fillings. PM2 is relatively normal.
Molar 1 is the fractured tooth (90% teeth has been lost) and bacteria had gone into
the nasal sinuses, causing a foul smelling discharge from the right nostril.

PM1 needs root canal treatment in 3 phases. On 11 Feb 2025, NDCS first appointment
for root canal treatment of PM1. 

 

Dr Chan gave local anaesthetic and drilled into the
root canals (said to be two) in PM1. In this root canal, half of it was calcified as the
tissues walled off the cavity preventing bacterial infections.

In the 2nd phase, Dr Chan will remove the calcified portion to reach into the

deeper part of the root to clear the debri and remove the infected part around the root (black area
of gum in the root area indicated inflammation.

 

There will be no crown as the tooth is not strong and may break. The root canal treatments are
meant to remove dead nerves and blood vessels in the pulp and seal the canal, hence
preserving the tooth, as contrasted to extraction.

 

 Good dentist preserve the tooth as much as possible through root canal treatments
not extraction, as the patient will need implants, bridges or dentures.

 

4433. "Watch your back"

“Watch your back” is a phrase that's telling you to be cautious and aware. 

Literally, it's saying to look behind you in case there's someone there that might want to hurt you. 

Usually it's meant more generally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4432. Casting a broken leg in a 2-year-old male Corgi in Myanmar

 

 Vet-LITE is an airy and lightweight Low Temperature Thermoplastic material engineered to meet your splinting and casting demands. The material is made from a 100% cotton mesh which has been impregnated with a NON-toxic thermoplastic resin.

 

On 16 Jan 2025, the 2-year-old male Corgi dashed across a busy road. A car accident fractured his right distal femur. The leg was cast by Dr Thet Hmue Kyaw, BVSc (Yezin) using Vet-Lite. This is a closed reduction surgery and is much cheaper that open reduction to insert a medullary pin.

SINGAPORE CASE. Dr Sing Kong Yuen.

Post op on Dec  5, 2017    Pin and cast as the fracture is too close to the femoral head and cannot be stabilised just by pining. Pin protrudes out of femoral head to provide stability and this does not affect knee flexion and extension. Pin removed in 8 weeks.

1. E-collar 8 weeks as cat tends to lick cast and wet it or bite it off.

2. Cast must be kept dry. Is protected by bandages.

3. Review 2 weekly

4. If paw is swollen, see vet immediately 

5. Cast removed in 6 weeks ideally

 

 

 

  

4431. Vet Case Study: A feral cat is knocked down by the truck. Illustration from ChatGPT

 Professional style. Sunny early morning with blue skies and white clouds in Myanmar. A narrow Myanmar mountain road. Cars and trucks drive along the busy bend of the road with flowers and trees on the slopes. A brown cat dashed across the road after a mouse. The big truck coming down the bend hit the cat and knocked it away to the side of the mountain.

 

 

The cat crosses from one side of the road to another. A big truck knocks down the cat. 

 

 

 

 The cat should be just on the road in front of the big truck coming down the bend. No rat.
Here is the updated illustration with the cat positioned just on the road in front of the large truck coming down the bend, as requested. Let me know if there are additional adjustments to make!
