Subluxations, dislocations and fracture-dislocations of the thoracic and lumbar spine: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Subluxations of the lumbar vertebrae are rare. Clinically, they often occur under the guise of "bruises" of the spine or "stretching" of its ligamentous apparatus.

Subluxations, dislocations and fracture-dislocations of III-VII cervical vertebrae: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Subluxations, dislocations and fracture-dislocations of the III - VII cervical vertebrae are the most common injuries of this section of the spine. These injuries occur with a flexion or flexion-rotation mechanism of violence.

Subluxation of the mandible: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

With subluxation of the lower jaw, the articular elements are displaced either in the upper part of the joint (discotemporal subluxation) or in the lower part (discocondylar subluxation).

Subluxation of the lens

A lens subluxation (or lens dislocation) is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye is partially or completely out of its normal position in the eyeball.

Subluxation of the head of the radius in children: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Subluxation of the radial head is most common in children aged 1 to 4 years. During this period, children often fall, and the adults accompanying them, trying to prevent the fall, pull the child by the straightened arm.

Subluxation of the cervical vertebra

A cervical vertebral subluxation is defined when the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae are displaced relative to each other while still in contact, but the natural anatomical location of their articular surfaces is disrupted.

Subfoot hematoma

Minor injuries at home and at work are considered an everyday occurrence. Sometimes we simply don’t notice them and are very surprised to find bruises and scratches on our bodies.

Subdural Hematoma - Information Overview

Subdural hematoma is a large accumulation of blood located between the dura mater and arachnoid membranes, causing compression of the brain. The vast majority of subdural hematomas are formed as a result of traumatic brain injury. Much less often, they occur in vascular pathology of the brain (for example, hypertension, arterial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, etc.), and in some cases are a consequence of taking anticoagulants.

Subdural empyema

Subdural empyema is a collection of pus between the dura mater and arachnoid membrane of the brain. The disease is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, lethargy, focal neurological symptoms and seizures.

Subdural abscess. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Subdural abscess is a collection of pus under the dura mater of the brain. Subdural abscess develops as a complication of chronic purulent otitis media, especially cholesteatoma, much less often acute. It is localized in the middle or posterior cranial fossa.

Subcorneal pustulosis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

The disease was first described in 1956 by English dermatologists Sneddon and Wilkinson. Until recently, the literature discussed the question of whether the disease is an independent nosological form of dermatosis or whether pustular psoriasis, Hebra's herpetiform impetigo, pustular form of Duhring's dermatitis and a number of other skin diseases are hidden under its mask.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a type of intracranial hemorrhage in which blood spreads into the subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord. A distinction is made between subarachnoid hemorrhage due to craniocerebral trauma and acute cerebrovascular accident of the hemorrhagic type.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

The causative agent of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is the measles virus, which was found in the brain tissue of patients. This encephalitis affects children and adolescents who have had measles in the first 15 months of life. The incidence is 1 case per 1 million population.

Subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

The group of subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis includes specific forms of chronic and subacute encephalitis with a progressive severe course (encephalitis with Dawson inclusions, subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis of Van Bogaert, nodular panencephalitis of Pette-Doering).

Subacute de Quervain's thyroiditis.

De Quervain's subacute thyroiditis, or granulomatous thyroiditis, is one of the most common forms of the disease. An increase in the incidence of the disease is noted in the autumn-winter period. Women are ill 4 times more often than men, the age of patients may vary, but the greatest number of cases occurs at 30-40 years of age.

Subacute and chronic meningitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Inflammation of the meninges lasting more than 2 weeks (subacute meningitis) or more than 1 month (chronic meningitis) of infectious or non-infectious origin (e.g. cancer). Diagnosis is based on the results of CSF examination, usually after preliminary CT or MRI. Treatment is aimed at the underlying cause of the disease.

Stuttering in adults

Stuttering in adults is a rather rare, but no less unattractive phenomenon, which can have various roots.

Strongyloidiasis - Overview

Strongyloidiasis (Latin: strongyloidosis) is a helminthiasis from the group of intestinal nematodoses, caused by Strongiloides stercoralis and occurring with allergic reactions, and later - with dyspeptic disorders. A person becomes infected when larvae penetrate the skin or when they are swallowed with food.

Stroke in the elderly

Stroke in the elderly is an acute cerebrovascular accident with damage to brain tissue and disruption of its functions.

Stroke at a young age. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis

Strokes are always a somatoneurological problem. This applies not only to strokes in adulthood, but also, above all, to strokes in young people (according to the WHO classification, in the range from 15 to 45 years). Ischemic strokes in young people are characterized by etiologic heterogeneity.
