Fasciola is a blood sucking parasite, it sucks 0.5ml blood/fluke/day. During sucking it removes plasma proteins, albumin. This results in fluid balance disturbance. Normally there is a balance between intravascular space and extravascular space. However, when albumin are lost from intravascular space by effect of fasciola, it will become less concentrated where as the fluid content become high. The fluid content become lower in extravascular space or interstitial tissues as compared to intravascular. Therefore, fluid move from intravascularspace to interstitial tissues. Due to gravity oedema occur in the ventral or mandibular area.
Heart failure patients
it is causative agent of fascioliasis is called a liver fluke or also known as a flat worm.
Patients with pulmonary edema may undergo phlebotomy procedures to decrease their total blood volume.
submandibular gland (one of the salivary glands)
Though it does not occur in all patients (5% to 20%, depending on the extremity and extent of the dissection), it can be a disabling symptom.
There are 6 types of edema. Generalized edema, skin edema, peripheral edema, corneal edema, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myxedema and lymphedema.
Edema is swelling of an extremity or area of the body. A degenerative end plate may be an area that shows up on an x-ray showing breakdown of bone. A physician will need to evaluate and treat.
Submandibular adenitis refers to the inflammation of the lymph nodes underneath the mandible. These are commonly referred to as the salivary glands.
Submandibular comes from sub (below), mandibul (lower jaw) and -ar (suffix meaning pertaining to). The word means beneath the mandible or lower jaw.
Edema means collection of fluid in the tissues. Edema is fluid accumulation in tissues which is common in patients with renal disorders, congestive heart failure and patients with preeclampsia. Edema is an accumulation of interstitial fluid, or fluid between cells in the tissue.
Patients are not limited by age, race or sex when being evaluated for myocardial resection surgery. Patients who experience angina, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and pulmonary edema (fluid on the lungs) are candidates for this procedure.
There are 3 salivary glands; the parotid gland, the sublingual gland, and the submandibular gland. The submandibular gland used to be the "submaxillary gland."
