Glaucoma is a pathology rarely seen in childhood. Children's glaucoma combines a large group of various diseases.
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease, among which the main symptoms are increased intraocular pressure, as well as worsening of visual functions (fields and visual acuity, adaptation, etc.) and development of marginal excavation of the nipple of the optic nerve.
Glandular cheilitis is more common in men, mostly 50-60 years. Glandular cheilitis develops as a result of hyperfunction and hyperplasia of small salivary glands on the border strip between the mucosa and the red lip rim (the Klein zone).
Gilbert syndrome is a hereditary disease and is transmitted by an autosomal dominant type. At the heart of the pathogenesis of the disease is the insufficiency in the hepatocytes of the enzyme glucuronyltransferase, which conjugates bilirubin with glucuronic acid.
Depending on the type of deformation, five variants of gigantism of feet in children are distinguished: gigantism of the entire foot, internal, middle, outer parts and macrodactyly.
Giardiasis symptoms are very diverse, as a rule, they are nonspecific and are one of the ways to determine the form of the disease. Clinical forms of giardiasis are also variable - from intestinal to anemic, due to the diversity with the high prevalence of this disease.
Giardiasis (giardiasis, English name - Giardiasis) is a protozoal invasion, occurring more often as an asymptomatic carrier, sometimes with functional intestinal disorders.
The giant styloid process, directed by its body from above-anterior and inward, reaches its end of the lower pole of the palatine tonsil. It passes in the immediate vicinity of the lateral surface of the facial nerve, between the external and internal carotid arteries.
Giant cell tumor (synonyms: osteoclastoma, osteoblastoma) - an extremely rare occurrence in childhood of a new skeleton with progressive growth and destruction of metaepiphysis of tubular bones.
Giant cell arteritis is an inflammation of the granulomatous nature of the aorta and its branches. The disease develops in people over 50 years old and is combined with a disease such as rheumatic polymyalgia.
Pyelonephritis is a nonspecific infectious and inflammatory process with a predominant initial lesion of the interstitial tissue, the calyceal system and the renal tubules, followed by the involvement of the glomeruli and renal vessels into the pathological process.
The Gerstmann-Straussler-Schenker syndrome is an autosomal dominant prion disease that begins in middle age.
Germogenogenous cell tumors originate from pluripotent germ cells. Disturbance of the differentiation of these cells leads to the emergence of embryonic carcinoma and teratoma (embryonic line of differentiation) or choriocarcinoma and yolk sac tumor (extraembryonic pathway of differentiation).
Germogenous tumors are tumors that develop from the primary embryonic cells of the human embryo, from which spermatozoa and oocytes normally form.
Geographical language is an inflammation of the tongue, usually benign and accompanied by exfoliation of the upper epithelial part (desquamation). It is more correct to call this disease desquamative glossitis (glossitis desquamativa) from the words "desquamation" - sluschivanie and glōssa - language.
Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by a progressive cognitive impairment beginning in middle age, involuntary movements and coordination of movements. George Huntington was the first to describe this condition in 1872, after examining a familial case of the disease from residents of Long Island.
There are 6 genotypes and 11 major subtypes of the hepatitis C virus. Genotype 1, especially 1b, causes a more severe course of the disease and is most resistant to treatment. In this case, a higher level of viremia is usually recorded. On the basis of genetic heterogeneity of HCV strains, it was suggested that the divergence of genotypes of the hepatitis C virus occurred approximately 300 years ago.
The acute period of urogenital schistosomiasis coincides with the penetration of cercariae into the host and the migration of schistosomes through the blood vessels. In this period, at the stage of the introduction of cercariae, the vessels of the skin, reddening, fever, itching and swelling of the skin are noted. These phenomena occur after 3-4 days.
Genitourinary fistulas often arise as a result of trauma to the urinary system in obstetric and gynecological practice. In developing countries (for example, in African countries) obstetric genitourinary fistulas are more common.
More than 20 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) can infect the genital tract. Most HPV infections are asymptomatic, occur in subclinical form, or remain unrecognized.
