Lymphoid syndrome refers to pathological conditions that develop in the lymphoid formations of the body, which, along with venous, are associated not only anatomically, but also functionally (tissue drainage, removal of metabolic products, lymphopoiesis, protective function) as a result of disease of the lymphatic system.
Shortening of the frenulum of the upper lip is usually combined with the formation of a diastema between the permanent central incisors.
Esophageal syndrome is a symptom complex caused by diseases of the esophagus. The main manifestation of changes in it is dysphagia. Traumatic injuries lead to the development of mediastinitis.
Corneal diseases account for 25-30% of all eye diseases. The causes of corneal diseases are: open position of the cornea (accessible to external factors); anatomical and embryonic connection with the conjunctiva, sclera and vascular tract; absence of vessels in the cornea and slow metabolism;
Heavy chain diseases are neoplastic plasma cell disorders characterized by overproduction of monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chains. Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment vary according to the specificity of the disease.
Eosinophils are granulocytes and are derived from the same precursor as monocyte-macrophages, neutrophils, and basophils. The exact function of eosinophils is unknown. As phagocytes, eosinophils are less effective than neutrophils in killing intracellular bacteria.
Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra caused by infection, is characterized by purulent-mucous or purulent discharge and burning during urination.
There may be an acquired change in the color of the sclera - blackish, dirty-gray-bluish spots (yellow sclera) - when taking certain medications, silver preparations, or using cosmetics.
In this article we will talk about the most common type of the disease - discoid lupus erythematosus.
Disaccharide deficiency enteropathies are congenital or acquired lesions of the small intestine caused by decreased activity or complete absence of one or more disaccharidases.
A visual impairment in which a person looks at one object but sees two (in the vertical or horizontal plane) is defined as diplopia.
Diphyllobothriasis (Latin: diphyllobothriosis: English: diphyllobothriasis, fish tapeworm infection) is an intestinal helminthiasis caused by tapeworms. It is characterized by a chronic course with predominant disruption of the gastrointestinal tract and the development of megaloblastic anemia.
Diphtheria has various symptoms depending on the form of the disease, but the general characteristic sign of diphtheria is inflammation, which provokes the appearance of a specific fibrinous membrane, film and severe edema in the area of the inflammatory process.
Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease that occurs with intoxication, inflammation in the pharynx, throat, less often in the larynx, trachea, nose and other organs with the formation of plaque that merges with the necrotic tissue of the affected mucous membranes. In toxic forms, the heart and peripheral nervous system are affected.
Laryngeal diphtheritic croup is observed in severe forms of diphtheria, manifested by signs of a general infectious disease. And although diphtheritic sore throat and laryngitis are rare nowadays, thanks to vaccination with anti-diphtheria toxoid, there are still cases of acute primary diphtheritic laryngitis, limited only to the larynx disease.
Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease characterized by fibrinous inflammation in the area of the infection's entry point. Hence the name of the disease (Greek diphtera - film).
Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by toxigenic strains of corynebacteria, characterized by an inflammatory process with the formation of a fibrinous film at the site of introduction of the pathogen, phenomena of general intoxication as a result of the entry of exotoxin into the blood, causing severe complications such as infectious toxic shock, myocarditis, polyneuritis and nephrosis.
Esophageal damage by diphtheria infection is a rare disease. It can occur in severe cases of pharyngeal diphtheria with spread to the hypopharynx and esophagus.
Diphtheritic conjunctivitis is usually combined with diphtheria of the nose, pharynx and larynx, but can occur as an isolated disease. Despite the typical picture of diphtheria, no changes are found in the pharynx - the diphtheritic film is localized only on the conjunctiva.
Diphtheria (diphtheria, suffocating disease) is an acute anthroponotic infectious disease with an aerosol mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by predominant damage to the oropharynx and respiratory tract with the development of fibrinous inflammation at the site of introduction of the pathogen and toxic damage to the cardiovascular system, nervous system and kidneys.
