List Diseases – A
The term "angina" came from the Latin word "angere" - to squeeze, choke, squeeze. This is due to the fact that one of the characteristic symptoms of angina is a feeling of constriction in the throat, sometimes suffocation, difficulty in passing food.
Aneurysms can develop in any major branch of the aorta. Such aneurysms are much less common than an aneurysm of the abdominal or thoracic aorta. Risk factors include atherosclerosis, hypertension, smoking and older age. Localized infection can cause mycotic aneurysms.
Peripheral arterial aneurysms - pathological expansions of peripheral arteries, caused by the weakening of the arterial wall.
Aneurysms are abnormal enlargements of the arteries caused by the weakening of the arterial wall. Common causes are arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, infection, trauma and hereditary or acquired connective tissue diseases or collagenoses.
Treatment for aneurysm rupture depends on the severity of the patient's condition upon admission and is due to the degree of involvement of the major pathogenetic mechanisms.
Aneurysms of the thoracic aorta account for a quarter of the aortic aneurysm. Men and women suffer equally often.
Aneurysms of the abdominal aorta account for about three-quarters of the aortic aneurysm, they affect 0.5-3.2% of the population. Prevalence in men is 3 times greater than that of women.
Anetodermia (synonym: spotted skin atrophy) is a type of skin atrophy characterized by the absence of elastic tissue.
In the history of medicine, dentists did not use anesthesia for tooth extraction: the Aztecs used the extract of mandrake root, the Egyptians applied the fat of the sacred crocodile inhabiting the waters of the Nile to the skin.
All women entering the maternity ward are potential candidates for planned or emergency anesthesia during childbirth. In this regard, the anesthetist should know about each pregnant woman in the department, the following minimum: the age, the number of pregnancies and births, the period of the present pregnancy, concomitant diseases and complicating factors.
Anemic syndrome is a pathological condition caused by a decrease in red blood cells and hemoglobin in a circulating blood unit. True anemic syndrome must be distinguished from hemodilution, which is caused by massive transfusion of blood substitutes, accompanied by either an absolute decrease in the number of circulating red blood cells, or a decrease in their hemoglobin content.
The main factors contributing to the onset of anemia in the first year of life in preterm or low birth weight babies are cessation of erythropoiesis, iron deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin E deficiency.
Anemia in pregnancy is a pathological condition characterized by a decrease in the number of erythrocytes and / or hemoglobin in a unit of blood volume. The frequency of this complication of pregnancy is observed, according to various sources, in 18-75% (56% on average) of women.
Anemia in myelofthisis is normochromic-normocytic and develops when infiltration or replacement of the normal bone marrow space by non -hematopoietic or abnormal cells.
Anemia in chronic disease (anemia due to a violation of iron reutilization) is multifactorial and is often accompanied by iron deficiency.
Symptoms in anemia in children are classified according to the type and severity of the disease. A number of symptoms are common to all types of anemia. At the same time, some of its types can cause various accompanying symptoms.
Androsteromas - virilizing tumors - belong to a rare pathology (1-3% of all tumors). Mostly women are ill, mainly up to 35 years. The indication of researchers for rare androsteromas in men may be due to the difficulty in diagnosing - in adult men, virilization is less noticeable and, apparently, the part of the androster passes under the guise of hormone-inactive adrenal tumors.
Anorhism is the inherent absence of both testicles, caused by their bilateral agenesis. Usually it is combined with bilateral agenesis or kidney aplasia, but it can exist as an independent anomaly. With bilateral renal aplasia, children are not viable.
Anaplasmosis has polymorphic symptoms and characteristic seasonality (mainly spring-summer time), associated with periods of natural tick-borne activity.
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening, IgE-mediated allergic reaction that occurs in previously sensitized patients when they re-meet a familiar antigen
