Vegeto-vascular dystonia (neurocirculatory dystonia) in children

Neurocirculatory dystonia is the most common form of vegetoneurosis, observed mainly in older children, adolescents and young people (50-75%). Accurate statistics on vegetative-vascular dystonia is difficult, first of all, due to the insufficiently uniform approaches of practicing doctors to the criteria of diagnosis and its terminology (very often the concepts of "neurocirculatory dystonia" and "vegetative-vascular dystonia" are used as synonyms in practice).

Vegetative state: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A vegetative state is a prolonged, sleep-unrelated state of disorientation and unresponsiveness associated with extensive dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres, but the diencephalon and brainstem provide vegetative and motor reflexes, as well as alternation of sleep-wakefulness phases.

Vegetative follicular dyskeratosis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Vegetative follicular dyskeratosis (syn. Darier's disease) is a dermatosis inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Three clinical varieties have been described: classical; localized (linear or zosteriform); warty dyskeratoma.

VATER-association

The spectrum of congenital defects is very wide and more than 2/3 of these defects are localized in the lower segment of the body (defects of the distal intestine, genitourinary anomalies, pelvic bones and lower extremities).

Vasomotor rhinitis

The term vasomotor rhinitis comes from the name of the autonomic nerve fibers that innervate the smooth muscles of arteries and veins. Vasomotor rhinitis is divided into vasoconstrictor (sympathetic) and vasodilator (parasympathetic) nerve fibers.

Vasculitides of the skin. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Vasculitis (synonym: cutaneous angiitis) is a skin disease in the clinical and pathomorphological picture of which the initial and leading link is non-specific inflammation of the walls of skin vessels of different calibers.

Vascular lesions of the brain: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Among the vascular malformations of the cerebral arteries, arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms are the most common.

Vascular cysts and vascular plexus cysts

Vascular cysts often appear in the fetus during pregnancy, but by the end of pregnancy they resolve on their own, so they are not considered a pathology. But the appearance of a vascular cyst in a newborn child is associated with a complicated pregnancy or infectious diseases suffered by the mother.

Varicose veins of the vagina and external genitalia in pregnant women

Varicose veins in pregnant women is a widespread pathology, which is diagnosed in every fifth woman of reproductive age, and the development of the disease in 96% of cases correlates with bearing a child and childbirth.

Varicose veins of the lower limbs

Varicose veins are a condition characterized by veins protruding through the skin, as well as thinning of the veins and the formation of subcutaneous nodes. The disease is often seen on the legs.

Varicolored (papillary) lichen planus

The causative agent of the disease is Mallasseria furfur. Versicolor lichen occurs as a result of the transformation of the saprophylactic form into a pathogenic one or infection from the outside. The development of versicolor lichen is facilitated by a weakened immune system, increased sweating, and endocrine disorders.

Varicocele - Information Overview

Varicocele is a urological disease that is accompanied by the expansion of the venous plexus of the spermatic cord. This pathology occurs with a frequency of 3 to 30%.

Varicella-zoster hepatitis.

The pathogenesis of VZV hepatitis has not been studied. The idea of hepatotropism of the herpes virus type 3 first arose during the development of a live vaccine against chickenpox, when it was convincingly shown that it has a pronounced tropism for hepatocytes.

Variant angina pectoris

Variant angina is angina that occurs as a result of arterial spasm (Prinzmetal's angina).

Vagrancy syndrome

In the vast majority of such cases, a person is not concerned with planning his or her movement or location, and is also not aware of how such a “free” journey might end.

Vaginitis (colpitis). Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Vaginitis is an acute inflammation of the vaginal mucosa. The course of vaginitis depends on the age of the patient (in young girls, vulvitis and vulvovaginitis are usually caused by some general somatic pathology: diabetes mellitus, diathesis, immunodeficiency, helminthiasis, foreign body in the vagina, leukemia, as well as hygiene errors, masturbation; in old age, senile vaginitis is caused by a decrease in the estrogenic effect on the mucous membrane of the genital tract

Vaginal cyst

A vaginal cyst is a rather unpleasant and not so easy to treat disease, which can affect absolutely all women. Such formations in the female genital organs are a clear deviation from the norm and can be either malignant or benign.

Vaginal candidiasis

Vaginal candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by the proliferation of the yeast-like fungus Candida. Normally, the opportunistic fungus is present in almost any microflora, its carriers are domestic animals, birds, and food products can be contaminated.

Vaginal bleeding in the last stages of pregnancy

The most common cause of bleeding in late pregnancy that may be alarming is placenta previa and abruptio placentae. This can lead to hemorrhagic shock, which requires intravenous fluid replacement and other measures before or during diagnosis.

Vaginal and uterine malformations

Malformations of the internal genital organs - congenital abnormalities of the shape and structure of the uterus and vagina. Synonyms: anomalies or malformations of the vagina and uterus.
