Among the many non-infectious pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint is often encountered - a disease associated with the destruction of cartilage tissues covering the articular surface. Inflammation in this case is absent, or runs in a weak form. Otherwise, the pathology is called deforming arthrosis. Patients suffering from rheumatoid diseases are more often affected.

Arthrosis of the hip joint is a concept that unites degenerative pathologies that develop in the hip joint area, provoked by wear, disease or injury. The basis of arthrosis is the destructive process of the cartilaginous tissue of the joint, which also affects other components - bone, joint capsule, adjacent muscle tissue.

The combined term "arthroso-arthritis" literally means that a person against the background of articular arthrosis develops an additional pathology - an inflammatory process in the form of arthritis of the same joint.

Osgood-Schlatter disease (osteochondropathy of the tibial tuberosity) is most often registered in the age group of 11-16 years, characterized by a violation of ossification of the apophysis of the tibial tuberosity. Teenagers who are actively involved in sports are more often affected.

Orthostatic hypotension is an important clinical syndrome that occurs in many neurological and somatic diseases. With orthostatic hypotension, the neurologist is primarily faced with problems of falls and fainting.
Orthostatic (postural) hypotension is a sudden drop in blood pressure (usually more than 20/10 mm Hg) when the patient assumes an upright position. Fainting, loss of consciousness, confusion, dizziness, and visual impairment may occur within a few seconds or over a longer period.

Orthorexia nervosa is not recognized as an eating disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, and is not listed as an official diagnosis in the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in the United States. The disorder is also not listed in the latest edition of the ICD.

Ornithosis (psittacosis) is an infectious disease caused by chlamydia and transmitted to humans from birds. Psittacosis is accompanied by symptoms of intoxication and lung damage.
Ornithosis (ornithosis; syn. psittacosis) is a zoonotic natural-anthropurgic infectious disease with an aerosol mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by fever, intoxication, damage to the lungs, nervous system, and hepatosplenic syndrome.
Organic personality disorder occurs after certain types of brain injury. This could be a head injury, an infection such as encephalitis, or the result of a brain disease such as multiple sclerosis.

Organic brain damage (OBGD) is a broad term that encompasses a variety of conditions and diseases that can cause structural and functional changes in brain tissue and cells.

Orchyoepididymitis (or epididymoorchitis) is a simultaneous combination of two separate infectious and inflammatory urological diseases that can provoke and develop each other.

According to medical statistics, in 20% of cases mumps is complicated by inflammation of the testicles and in 8% of cases, bilateral inflammation develops. The main age of boys susceptible to the disease is 10-12 years.

Very often, orchitis develops against the background of a remote infectious or inflammatory process in the body. The pathology can be caused by traumatic factors and occur both in a unilateral form and with bilateral damage.

The most common orbital tumor occurring in childhood. It occurs more often in girls than in boys. A characteristic feature is the possibility of spontaneous regression.
Orbital myositis is an idiopathic nonspecific inflammation of one or more extraocular muscles and is considered a form of idiopathic orbital inflammation.
The causes of orbital damage are varied: a blow from a heavy object, a bruise from a fall, the introduction of foreign bodies, etc. The injuring objects can be knives, forks, pencils, ski poles, branches, shot or bullets from a gunshot wound.
Idiopathic orbital inflammation (formerly known as pseudotumor of the orbit) is a rare pathology that is a non-neoplastic, non-infectious, volumetric lesion of the orbit.
A "blowout" orbital floor fracture is usually caused by a sudden increase in intraorbital pressure from an impact with an object greater than 5 cm in diameter, such as a fist or tennis ball.
