Caseous pneumonia. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

Caseous pneumonia is one of the most severe forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. It is characterized by a pronounced caseous-necrotic component of tubercular inflammation, rapid progression and the formation of multiple cavities of decay.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

This disease is considered a threshold and requires compulsory treatment. Otherwise, irreversible changes in the affected nerve may occur, which in time will lead to a complete loss of palm sensitivity and some degenerative disorders.

Carotid cavernous fistula

Caries of milk teeth

Caries of baby teeth in children has recently become a very urgent problem for both parents and dentists. This pathological process is more and more often found in toddlers who have not turned 2 years old.

Cardiospasm. The reasons. Symptoms Diagnostics. Treatment

Expansions of the esophagus are characterized by a giant increase throughout the cavity of the esophagus with characteristic morphological changes in its walls during a sharp narrowing of its cardiac segment, called cardiospasm.

Cardiomyopathy in children

Cardiomyopathy is a heterogeneous group of chronic, severe myocardial diseases leading to the development of myocardial dysfunction. For the first time the term "cardiomyopathy" was proposed by W. Brigden (1957) for the definition of myocardial diseases of unknown origin. At present, this concept can not be considered clearly delineated, it is often invested in it with different meanings.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a complex of non-inflammatory cardiological diseases in which the heart muscle is affected. The term "cardiomyopathy" comes from three Greek words - kardia, which means the heart, myos - muscle and pathos - pathology, disease.

Cardiomegaly

This pathology is not an independent disease, but develops against the background of other cardiac diseases. Cardiomegaly can be both congenital and acquired, so it occurs equally often at any age.

Cardiogenic shock: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death for patients with myocardial infarction in the hospital. In 50% of patients, cardiogenic shock develops within the first day of myocardial infarction, in 10% in the prehospital stage and in 90% in the hospital.

Cardialgia

When pains are felt that are localized on the left side of the chest - where the heart is located, then when contacting a doctor, cardialgia will be indicated in the medical report.

Cardiac tamponade

Cardiac tamponade is a condition of reduced cardiac output due to mechanical compression of the heart.

Cardiac ischemia

Ischemic heart disease, most often associated with an atherosclerotic process, involves deterioration of the blood flow through the coronary arteries. Clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD) include painless ischemia, angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, myocardial infarction), and sudden cardiac death.

Carcinoid papillomatosis of Gotthron skin. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

In the development of the disease, great importance is attached to chronic long-lasting diseases and mechanical injuries.

Carcinoid pancreatic tumor

Carcinoid pancreatic tumor occurs mainly in middle-aged and elderly people. It can be localized in any part of it. The size of the tumor varies from a few millimeters to 13-14 cm.

Carcinoid

Carcinoid (argentaffinoma, chromaffinoma, carcinoid tumor, tumor of APUD-system) is a rare neuroepithelial hormone-active tumor producing excess serotonin. Carcinoids are formed in intestinal crypts from intestinal argentaffinocytes (Kulchitsky cells), which belong to the diffuse endocrine system.

Carcinogenesis: theories and stages

It has now been established that cancer, or malignant neoplasm, is a disease of the genetic apparatus of a cell that is characterized by prolonged chronic pathological processes, or, more simply, carcinogenesis, which has developed in the body for dozens of years.

Carbuncle. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnostics. Treatment

Carbuncle - acute, purulent-necrotic inflammation of several hair follicles, actually the dermis and fake cellulose with the formation of extensive infiltration, necrosis. The process has a phlegmonous character and is prone to spread.

Carbuncle kidney

Kidney carbuncle is a kidney disease of a purulent-necrotic nature, which is accompanied by the development of limited infiltration in the renal tissue parenchyma. Defeat with formation of limited infiltrate in the cortical substance of the kidney. In recent years, the frequency of the carbuncle of the kidney has increased significantly.
