Fasciculations - contractions of one or more motor units (an individual motor neuron and the group of muscle fibers it supplies) result in rapid, visible contraction of muscle bundles (fascicular twitches or fasciculations). On EMG, fasciculations appear as broad biphasic or multiphasic action potentials.
Fanconi anemia was first described in 1927 by Swiss pediatrician Guido Fanconi, who reported three brothers with pancytopenia and physical defects. The term Fanconi anemia was proposed by Naegeli in 1931 to describe the combination of familial Fanconi anemia and congenital physical defects.
Fanconi syndrome (de Toni-Debré-Fanconi disease) is a primary hereditary tubulopathy characterized by a triad of symptoms: glucosuria, generalized hyperaminoaciduria and hyperphosphaturia.
Familial periodic paralysis is a rare autosomal disorder characterized by episodes of flaccid paralysis with loss of deep tendon reflexes and lack of muscle response to electrical stimulation. There are 3 forms: hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and normokalemic.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF, periodic disease) is a hereditary disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and peritonitis, sometimes with pleurisy, skin lesions, arthritis and very rarely pericarditis. Renal amyloidosis may develop, which can lead to renal failure.
Familial benign chronic pemphigus (syn. Gougerot-Hailey-Hailey disease) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by the appearance in puberty, but often later, of multiple flat blisters
Acrogeria familialis (Gottron syndrome) is a rare disease described in 1941 by H. Gottron. The causes and pathogenesis of Acrogeria familialis (Gottron syndrome) have not been fully studied. The development of the disease is largely due to disruption of the structure and function of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, and hypofunction of the pituitary gland. There are reports of familial cases of the disease.
Familial (juvenile) polyposis of the colon is a hereditary disease with an autosomal dominant transmission route. Multiple polyposis of the colon are observed. Polyps, according to literature data, are usually detected in adolescence, but they are also found in early childhood and even in old age.
A false joint is a diagnosis that excludes hopes for a cure using conservative methods. Their use in pseudoarthrosis is not justified and only prolongs the already protracted treatment period.
A false aneurysm (pseudoaneurysm, pulsating hematoma, PA) is a communication between the lumen of an artery and the adjacent connective tissue, which leads to the formation of a cavity filled with blood.
Tetralogy of Fallot consists of the following 4 congenital defects: a large ventricular septal defect, obstruction of blood flow as it exits the right ventricle (pulmonary stenosis), right ventricular hypertrophy, and a "superior aorta." Symptoms include cyanosis, dyspnea with feeding, failure to thrive, and hypoxemic spells (sudden, potentially fatal episodes of severe cyanosis).
Fainting in children is a pathological condition characterized by a deterioration in general well-being due to vegetative-vascular disorders.
Currently, the syndrome of anxious expectation is one of the most common diseases. It is caused by various neuropsychiatric disorders that arise in the process of confronting everyday stressful situations.
Activated protein C cleaves factors Va and VIIIa, thereby inhibiting the blood clotting process. Any of several mutations of factor V causes its resistance to activated protein C, thereby increasing the susceptibility to thrombosis. The most common mutation of factor V is the Leiden mutation. Homozygous mutations increase the risk of thrombosis to a greater extent than heterozygous mutations.
Factor V mutation has become the most common genetic cause of thrombophilia in the European population. The factor V gene is located on chromosome 1, next to the antithrombin gene.
Facial granuloma (syn.: eosinophilic facial granuloma) is a rare disease of unclear etiology. Trauma, immune and allergic reactions, and increased sensitivity to light are assumed to play a role in the development of facial granuloma.
A facial bruise is a whole complex of reasons for dissatisfaction with oneself: external defects, pain, physical and psychological health.
Acne on the face is a rather unpleasant problem, causing a lot of discomfort and various psychological difficulties, since the unaesthetic appearance of the skin of the face in the presence of acne gives impetus to the development of a lot of complexes. Acne on the face can be localized in the forehead, above the eyebrows, near the mouth, on the chin, cheeks, on the nose, and also in the bridge of the nose.
Fabry disease is a hereditary sphingolipidosis caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A (ceramidase), which leads to a violation of the cleavage of alpha-galactosyl from the ceramide molecule. The disease is transmitted recessively, linked to the X chromosome, with the localization of the defect Xq22. Ethnic features of the disease have not been identified.
