Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It ends menstruation and the ability to become pregnant. Depending on the reason for the surgery, a hysterectomy may also involve the removal of other organs and tissues such as the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes.

If you’re like me, you probably hook your chest tube up to a Pleur-Evac, put it on the ground, then back away slowly. Who knows what goes on in that mysterious bubbling white box? Hopefully this will post shed some light. Isn’t this just a container for stuff that comes out of the chest? Why does it look so complicated? It’s complicated because the detection/collection of air and fluid require different setups. Most commercial models also allow you to hook the drainage system to wall suction, so you can quickly evacuate the pleural space. This requires its own setup. Because of the need to juggle air, fluid and suction, the most common commercial system includes 3 distinct chambers. If you were to simplify the device, or build one out of spare bottles and tubes, it might look like this:

The most common symptoms of pneumoconiosis are cough and shortness of breath. The risk is generally higher when people have been exposed to mineral dusts in high concentrations and/or for long periods of time. Inadequate or inconsistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators (specially fitted protective masks) is another risk factor since preventing dusts from being inhaled will also prevent pneumoconiosis. Pneumoconiosis does not generally occur from environmental (non-workplace) exposures since dust levels in the environment are much lower.

It involves placing a small, expandable tube called a stent in the narrowed artery. This procedure is also called carotid angioplasty and stenting. There are two carotid arteries-one on each side of the neck-that supply blood to the brain. These arteries can be narrowed and damaged by fatty deposits called plaque.

A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes through an opening in the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. The diaphragm is the thin muscle wall that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen. The opening in the diaphragm is where the esophagus and stomach join.

Hiatal hernias occur when contents of the abdominal cavity protrude through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. Factors that contribute to the development of a hiatal hernia include an enlargement of the esophageal hiatus due to developmental defects, an increased abdominal thoracic pressure gradient, and the depletion of elastic fibers in the phrenoesophageal membrane with aging. There are four different types of hiatal hernias and management varies depending on the type. Type I, also known as a sliding hernia, is a simple displacement of the gastroesophageal junction into the thoracic cavity. The stomach remains in the abdominal cavity. This is the most common type of hiatal hernia, accounting for about 95% of all hiatal hernias. Types II-IV are classified as paraesophageal hernias. Type II occurs when the gastroesophageal junction maintains its position but the gastric fundus herniates through the diaphragmatic hiatus. Type III has both the gastroesophageal junction and the stomach herniate above the diaphragm. When more than 30% of the stomach is herniated into the thoracic cavity, it is termed a “giant” paraesophageal hernia. A patient has a type IV hernia when other organs, such as the colon, in addition to the stomach herniate above the diaphragm.

Spina bifida is a condition that affects the spine and is usually apparent at birth. It is a type of neural tube defect (NTD). Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way. When the neural tube doesn’t close all the way, the backbone that protects the spinal cord doesn’t form and close as it should. This often results in damage to the spinal cord and nerves. Spina bifida might cause physical and intellectual disabilities that range from mild to severe. The severity depends on: The size and location of the opening in the spine. Whether part of the spinal cord and nerves are affected.

IVC filter is placed to prevent fatal Pulmonary Embolism due to Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). This particular patient had extensive DVT of Ilio-Femoral veins leading to massive swelling of left lower limb. The IVC filter was inserted via the Right Femoral Vein. This case was the first IVC filter placement of North Bengal and adjoining areas.

Pictures Of Shingles, Images Of Shingles, Cause Of Shingles, Can You Catch Shingles, Cause Shingles --- http://shingles-cure.good-info.co/ ---- Home Remedy For Shingles Treatment. There are surprisingly diverse amounts of treatments that can be used for viruses, especially one in particular known as Shingles. Shingles is the type of virus that is annoyingly unpredictable. Some people get it while others do not, and while it predominant after a certain age, most people can go their whole lives without ever seeing a hint of it. Yet, we all have it living inside of us. The first step to treating the virus correctly is to understand what can set it off. The first pre-requisite is to have had chicken-pox before. Most things manage to squeeze through an immune system if it is weak enough and the shingles virus is no different. In some cases that can kill someone with a weak enough system The shingles virus can also ‘wake up’ if sufficient levels of stress agitate a person’s immune system. As mentioned before, the virus is unpredictable, and even if you meet all the requirements you could go through your entire life without one outbreak. The second step to treating the virus is catching it in time. 72 hours after you first begin to notice symptoms of shingles is pushing your luck so within that time frame some type of treatment should be instigated. For the most part, for a disease like shingles, the main source of relief comes from skin creams and pain killers. Neither of which is a cure for the pain, but which do happen to fall under the heading of ‘home remedy’ Wet rags can be used to soothe the inflamed and tender skin, and a binding with a substance known as aluminum acetate can protect the infected area without causing further irritation. Calamine lotion is a fail safe for almost any sort of skin irritation so it would be smart to go through the aisles at your local grocery store to find products similar. Then of course there are the most obvious measures that need to be taken during your do it yourself treatment sessions. Stay out of the sun since the heat and UV rays can cause unbearable pain against already brutalized skin. Also, keep yourself from scratching at the area since, like the chicken-pox, you will only end up making it worse. If you do not believe me then consider the unlucky individuals who do not have the rash on a small area, but rather all over their bodies. Anti-itch cream would probably be more than appreciated at that point. Should the time come where the virus is making repeated appearances, then it may be time to throw in the towel and head for the hospital. The reason is that after the first outbreak, it isn’t unusual that the virus that was originally stored in the roots of your nerves ‘burned’ itself out. However, continual outbreaks are indications of something deeper that can only grow worse as the attacks continue. Some victims of the virus have described the sensation as having your flesh eaten from the inside out. Once the pain reaches that level, stubbornness should be put on the backburner. If you are forced to go to your local doctor, you may be provided with some of the medicines that have recently been created to help fight off shingles. They are by no means brand names, but neither are they over the counter drugs either. After a few more years to study their effectiveness, there is no reason why this new medication cannot ease the pain caused by shingles, and even, eventually cure it. In this presentation, shows you some unique and rare methods to get rid of shingles naturally in as little as 14 days! This is based on proven techniques used by shingles sufferers without the use of pills and other medication. Get Rid of Shingles will also boost your energy and health dramatically and improve the quality of your life.
