Non-infectious desquamative inflammatory vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina in the absence of the usual infectious causes of the disease. The disease may be autoimmune in nature. Streptococci are adsorbed on the cells of the superficial layer of the vaginal epithelium.
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by monoclonal proliferation of malignant lymphoid cells in lymphoreticular zones, including lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a collective name for a group of systemic malignant tumors of the immune system that originate from cells of extramedullary lymphoid tissue.
Emergency care for elderly and senile patients should be provided by highly qualified maxillofacial surgeons who are able to quickly understand the general condition of the victim.
Non-functioning adrenal masses are lesions of the adrenal glands that lack hormonal activity. Symptoms, signs, and treatment depend on the nature and size.
Nonerosive gastritis refers to a group of various histological changes that occur primarily as a result of H. pylori infection. Most patients are asymptomatic. Changes are detected by endoscopy. Treatment is aimed at eradicating H. pylori and sometimes suppressing acidity.
Diabetes insipidus is a disease caused by absolute or relative deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, characterized by polyuria and polydipsia. Antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorption in the collecting tubules of the kidneys and regulates water metabolism in the body.
Diabetes insipidus is a disease characterized by diabetic exhaustion, increased plasma osmolarity, which stimulates the thirst mechanism, and compensatory consumption of large amounts of fluid.
Non-atheromatous arteriosclerosis is an age-related fibrosis of the aorta and its main branches. Non-atheromatous arteriosclerosis causes thickening of the intima and weakens and destroys the elastic components.
Noma (cancrum oris) is a disease in which, as a result of necrosis, extensive defects of the soft and bone tissues of the orofacial region arise - a kind of wet gangrene, currently found almost exclusively in underdeveloped and developing countries.
Nodular prurigo is a relatively rare disease. It is often found in people with dysfunction of the endocrine glands and neuropsychiatric disorders. Immune disorders play an important role in the pathogenesis.
Nodular panarteritis (syn.: nodular panvasculitis, nodular periarteritis, Kussmaul-Meyer disease, necrotizing angiitis) is a systemic disease caused by vascular damage, probably of autoimmune genesis, which is confirmed by the detection of immune complexes in the walls of affected vessels.
What is nodular mastopathy? It is a benign pathology of the mammary gland, often associated with hormonal imbalance in the woman's body.
In the problem of small intestinal pathology, immunodeficiency states accompanied by the development of one of the varieties of lymphoproliferative processes - benign nodular lymphoid hyperplasia - are of particular interest.
Nodular goiter is rarely diagnosed in children. Benign lesions that manifest as single nodes in the thyroid gland include benign adenoma, lymphocytic thyroiditis, thyroglossal duct cyst, ectopically located normal thyroid tissue, agenesis of one of the thyroid lobes with collateral hypertrophy, thyroid cyst, and abscess.
Are such discharges always a sign of pathology, and when should you sound the alarm?
Nijmegen breakage syndrome was first described in 1981 by Weemaes CM as a new syndrome with chromosomal instability. The disease, characterized by microcephaly, delayed physical development, specific facial skeletal abnormalities, café-au-lait spots, and multiple breaks in chromosomes 7 and 14, was diagnosed in a 10-year-old boy.
Nightmares usually occur in the second half of the night, when the intensity of dreams is higher. Even a very young child can have nightmares, but they are most common in the dreams of children between 3 and 12 years of age.
Congenital stationary night blindness, or nyctalopia (lack of night vision) is a non-progressive disease caused by dysfunction of the rod system.
Niemann-Pick disease is a rare familial disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and occurs primarily in Jews. The disease is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme sphingomyelinase in the lysosomes of cells of the reticuloendothelial system, which leads to the accumulation of sphingomyelin in the lysosomes. The liver and spleen are predominantly affected.
