Anal itching is a pathology characterized by itching in the anal and perianal regions. Perianal skin itch may be a consequence of various causes.

Anal fissure

The origin of the fissure is associated with many causes, but the most important factor is the trauma of the mucous membrane of the anal canal by the calves, foreign bodies, damage to it during childbirth.

Anaerobic infection

An anaerobic wound infection attracts the attention of surgeons, infectious disease specialists, microbiologists and other specialists. This is due to the fact that anaerobic infection occupies a special place due to the exceptional severity of the disease course, high mortality (14-80%), frequent cases of deep disability of patients.

Amyloidosis of the skin. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

Amyloidosis is a metabolic disorder in which amyloid deposits in the body tissues occur. Studies have shown that amyloid is a protein glycoprotein. The deposition of this protein leads to disruption of the vital activity of tissues and organs.

Amyloidosis of the intestine

Amyloidosis of the intestine is a disease of the intestine (an independent disease or "second disease"), caused by the deposition of amyloid in its tissues.

Amyloidosis and kidney damage

Amyloidosis is a group concept combining diseases that are characterized by extracellular deposition of a specific insoluble fibrillar protein amyloid.

Amyloidosis

Amyloidosis is a violation of protein metabolism, accompanied by the formation in the tissues of a specific protein-polysaccharide complex (amyloid) and the defeat of many organs and systems.

Amphetamines. Dependence on amphetamines

Amphetamines increase dopaminergic activity, primarily due to stimulation of presynaptic release of dopamine, and not as a result of the blockade of its re-uptake, like cocaine. In some regions of the United States, methamphetamine is most often abused, injected intravenously or by inhalation. It causes a dependence that manifests itself in the same way as cocaine dependence.

Amphetamines

Amphetamines can be used in the form of tablets, injections, by inhalation and smoking. Amphetamines can cause an increase in mood, wakefulness, alertness, concentration, increase physical activity and cause a sense of well-being. Long-term use can cause dependence

Amnesia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Aminoaciduria (amino acid) is an increase in the excretion of amino acids in the urine or the presence of amino acids in the urine that are not normally contained in it (for example, ketone bodies).

American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease). Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease, or Chagas disease) is a transmissible natural focal protozoal disease, characterized by the presence of acute and chronic phases during the process. In 1907, the Brazilian doctor Chagas discovered in triathom (kiss) bugs of the pathogen, and in 1909 isolated it from the patient's blood and described the disease caused by him, named after him by Chagas disease.

American skin and mucous membranes and cutaneous leishmaniasis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

In the Eastern Hemisphere, the causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis are parasites of the L. Tropica complex; the disease is often called the eastern ulcer. In the Western Hemisphere, the causative agents of this form of the disease are represented by the leishmania of L. Mexicana and L. Brasiliensis complexes.

Ameloblastoma

A tumor odontogenic process - ameloblastoma - is of epithelial nature and has a tendency to aggressive growth. The tumor is not malignant, but it can cause bone destruction and, in rare cases, metastasize.

Amebiasis

Amebiasis (English amebiasis) is anthroponous protozoal disease with fecal-oral transmission mechanism. It is characterized by ulcerative lesions of the colon, a tendency to a chronic recurrent course, extraintestinal complications in the form of abscesses of the liver and other organs.

Ambolia with amniotic fluid

Embolism with amniotic fluid (EOB) is a critical condition associated with the ingestion of the amniotic fluid and its components into the maternal bloodstream with the development of a severe anaphylactoid reaction with a symptomatic complex of shock of mixed genesis up to cardiac arrest, ODN and acute DIC syndrome.

Amblyopia in children

Amblyopia is a functional reduction in visual acuity caused by the non-use of the eye during visual development. In the affected eye, blindness may develop if amblyopia is not diagnosed and treated prior to the age of 8 years. The diagnosis is based on finding the difference in visual acuity between the two eyes. Treatment of amblyopia in children depends on the cause.
