Tendinitis is an inflammatory process in the tendon area. It can occur acutely or chronically. With chronic form, degenerative processes develop over time in the area of the affected tendon. As a rule, the part adjacent to the bone suffers, less often the inflammation spreads throughout the tendon. Pathology is accompanied by pain during movements,…
Dry gangrene is the death of tissues under the influence of destructive factors or due to the cessation of blood supply. It is accompanied by darkening, a decrease in the volume of the segment, wrinkling and loss of moisture. It can develop as a result of temperature, radiation and chemical influences, atherosclerosis, as well as…
Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of the overlying vertebra in relation to the underlying one. The cause of the pathology is congenital anomalies, injuries, tumors, degenerative changes of the spine or spondylolysis. Spondylolisthesis is manifested by limited mobility of the affected part and pain in the lower back. With narrowing of the spinal canal and compression…
Spondylolysis is a congenital or acquired defect in the area of the vertebral arch. Usually the lumbar region (L4-L5) suffers. The disease is often asymptomatic, may be accompanied by stiffness and pain in the lumbar region. The pain is usually prolonged, but not intense, less often there is a pronounced pain syndrome that restricts physical…
Sunstroke is a special form of heat stroke caused by exposure to sunlight. The cause of the lesion may be work or a long stay (walking, rest) under the scorching sun. It is accompanied by weakness, lethargy, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, flickering of “flies”, nausea, fluctuations in blood pressure, increased body temperature and cardiac disorders. The…
Scoliosis is a persistent curvature of the spine sideways relative to its axis (in the frontal plane). All parts of the spine are involved in the process, therefore, the lateral curvature is subsequently joined by a curvature in the antero-posterior direction and twisting of the spine. As scoliosis progresses, secondary deformation of the chest and…
Synostosis is a continuous connection of bones through bone tissue. It can be congenital or acquired, physiological or pathological, natural, artificial (created during surgery) or post-traumatic. Sometimes it develops as a result of an infectious or degenerative process: osteomyelitis, tuberculosis, brucellosis or severe osteochondrosis. The diagnosis is made on the basis of radiography and other…
Tietze syndrome is a disease from the group of chondropathies, accompanied by aseptic inflammation of one or more upper rib cartilages in the area of their articulation with the sternum. It is manifested by local soreness at the site of the lesion, which increases with pressure, palpation and deep breathing. As a rule, it occurs…
Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital pathology manifested by abnormal growth of individual parts of the body. Usually, an increase in the area of the head, arm or leg is detected. Partial hypertrophy is combined with an increased likelihood of thrombosis and thromboembolism, the formation of tumors of various structures and localization. The diagnosis is…
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare inflammatory disease affecting cartilage structures and connective tissue of various organs and systems. Presumably has an autoimmune nature. The most common symptom is damage to the auricles, then, in descending order – arthritis, chondritis of the nasal septum, various eye lesions, damage to the respiratory system (trachea, larynx and bronchi), inflammatory…
