Dyscirculatory encephalopathy is a slowly progressive dysfunction of the brain that occurs as a result of diffuse and/or small focal damage to brain tissue in conditions of long-term insufficiency of cerebral blood supply.

Dyscalculia

Often children suffering from dyscalculia are considered either mentally retarded or lazy, and are placed in special classes for the slow learners. For the further full development and successful education of the child, it is important to conduct timely diagnostics and correction of this disorder.

Dysbacteriosis after antibiotics

There are quite a few reasons why the microflora in the intestines can change, but most often dysbacteriosis develops after antibiotics.

Dupuytren's contracture

Dupuytren's contracture is a medical condition characterized by gradual contraction of the fascia (the tissue surrounding the tendons in the palm of the hand) and binding of the fingers of the hand, usually the fourth and fifth fingers.

Duodenogastric reflux

In gastroenterology, the flow of contents from the duodenum back into the stomach – through the pyloric sphincter that separates them – is defined as duodenogastric reflux (in Latin, refluxus means “backflow”).

Duodenitis

Chronic duodenitis is a polyetiological disease of the duodenum, characterized by inflammatory-dystrophic changes in the mucous membrane with subsequent structural reorganization of the glandular apparatus, the development of metaplasia and atrophy.

Duodenase, enteropeptidase (enterokinase) deficiency

Congenital enterokinase deficiency has been described, as well as transient enzyme deficiency in extremely premature infants. As a result of enterokinase deficiency, the conversion of trypsinogen to trypsin is disrupted, which results in protein breakdown in the small intestine. In duodenal pathology, duodenase deficiency is also possible, leading to peptidase deficiency.

Duodenal dyskinesia.

Motor-evacuation disorders (dyskinesia) of the duodenum are detected in cases of damage to the central and autonomic nervous system, endocrine disorders, systemic and parasitic diseases, and in patients who have undergone stomach surgery.

Dumping syndrome

Dumping syndrome is usually due to rapid movement of food from the stomach to the intestines or due to changes in the anatomy of the stomach after surgery.

Dühring's dermatitis herpetiformis

Herpetiform dermatitis of Duhring (synonyms: Duhring's disease, pemphigoid herpes, etc.) belongs to the group of herpetiform dermatoses. This group of diseases includes dermatoses that are different in etiology and pathogenesis, but similar in clinical and morphological manifestations of rashes, which are characterized by a herpetiform grouping of rashes.

Ductular hypoplasia (Alagille syndrome)

Ductular hypoplasia (Alagille syndrome) is a rare liver disease in children characterized by congenital anatomical changes in the intrahepatic bile ducts.

Duchenne and Becker myodystrophy.

Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are X-linked recessive disorders characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness due to muscle fiber degeneration. Becker muscular dystrophy has a later onset and is less severe.

Duane's syndrome

The hallmark of Duane's syndrome is retraction of the eyeball during attempted adduction, caused by simultaneous contraction of the internal and external rectus muscles.

Dry warts

Probably everyone has heard of such a benign formation as a dry wart. But few people know what causes its appearance and how to stop the growth and spread of the growth.

Dry keratoconjunctivitis (filamentous keratitis). Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Filamentous keratitis (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) is a corneal disease of unknown etiology and is one of the symptoms of a general disease of the body called Sjögren's syndrome.

Dry eyes

The main lacrimal glands produce approximately 95% of the aqueous component of tears, and the additional lacrimal glands of Krause and Wolfring produce 5%. Tear secretion can be either the main (constant) or a much more pronounced reflex production.

Dry eye syndrome in children

An oily "lipid" layer that reduces evaporation, stabilizes the tear film, and ensures high optical quality of its surface. Lipids are produced by the meibomian glands.

Dry cough in a child: treatment

In order to properly treat a cough, it is necessary to know exactly what provoked it. If a child develops a dry cough, treatment should be carried out using various means and procedures that will help it take a productive form, under the supervision of a doctor.

Dry calluses

Human legs, due to their location and functions, take on a huge load, since they are under the pressure of body weight, which in adulthood often exceeds 90 kg.

Dry (fibrinous) pleurisy - Information Overview

In most patients, dry (fibrinous) pleurisy begins acutely, less often - gradually. Complaints of patients are extremely typical: chest pain, increased body temperature, general weakness.
