With the arrival of spring and summer, the active sun returns to our lives. This means that many people again remember about sunscreen cosmetics, because it is well known that ultraviolet radiation accelerates skin aging, pigmented spots and wrinkles appear on it. What should be in a cream with UV protection in order for it…
American scientists have named a blood group that increases the risk of death from coronavirus. The results of the study conducted by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) are published in the scientific journal PLOS Genetics. As part of the study, more than 3,000 blood proteins were analyzed. Among them, those that increase the…
Researchers from the United States have concluded that regular physical activity helps to reduce the risk of thrombosis due to fatty liver disease. People suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are most susceptible to heart failure, strokes, thrombosis and cancer, wrote in the publication Hepatology. Currently, no drugs have been invented that would help…
MRI thyroid is a hardware method of investigation using a magnetic field used to study this endocrine organ. Scanning allows you to assess the location and size of the lobes and isthmus of the gland, their structure, to identify the presence of inflammatory processes, neoplasms, compression of the gland, to study adjacent organs and tissues.…
Sinus MRI is a diagnostic examination of the paranasal sinuses of the nose using magnetic resonance imaging. The principle of operation of the equipment is based on the movement of hydrogen protons induced by an external magnetic field (nuclear magnetic resonance). The obtained images allow us to assess the structural features of the paranasal sinuses,…
Laryngeal MRI is a method of noninvasive visualization of the initial respiratory tract, based on the ability of hydrogen atom nuclei in tissues to absorb and emit radiofrequency energy in an external magnetic field. Allows you to evaluate the structure of the structural elements of the larynx (cartilage, laryngeal ventricles, vocal folds, subcladal space) and…
Brain MRI is a technique for studying brain structures that displays the cerebral cortex, ventricular system, trunk, bridge, cerebellum, pituitary gland. It is carried out for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative changes, inflammatory and infectious processes, injuries and abnormalities of brain development. The MRI procedure can be native or contrast. Transverse, sagittal and coronal projections are…
Hippocampus MRI is a targeted study of the paired structure located in the temporal lobes of the brain, which involves receiving and digitally processing radio signals from hydrogen atoms when they are in a constant magnetic field of high intensity. It can be performed separately or as part of a comprehensive study of the brain. Allows…
It is possible to be in a wheelchair for various reasons: due to a sudden event, for example, spinal cord injury, stroke or amputation of a limb, or as a result of the progression of a serious disease – multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or osteoarthritis. However, contrary to popular misconception, people with disabilities are…
The realities of modern life are such that every year the number of people working in offices increases. Office workers spend most of the day sitting at a desk and a computer. At first glance, such working conditions look quite comfortable. But there is another side to this situation. Sedentary work and a sedentary lifestyle…
