Clostridium difficile (c.diff) Infection samer kareem 4,943 Views • 2 years ago

The average human digestive tract is home to as many as 1,000 species of microorganisms. Most of them are harmless -- or even helpful -- under normal circumstances. But when something upsets the balance of these organisms in your gut, otherwise harmless bacteria can grow out of control and make you sick. One of the worst offenders is a bacterium called Clostridium difficile(C. difficile, or C. diff). As the bacteria overgrow they release toxins that attack the lining of the intestines, causing a condition called Clostridium difficilecolitis.

Treat Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
Treat Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) samer kareem 17,515 Views • 2 years ago

The "great arteries" in this anomaly refer to the aorta and the pulmonary artery, the two major arteries carrying blood away from the heart. In cases of transposition of the great arteries, these vessels arise from the wrong ventricle. They are "transposed" from their normal position so that the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the left ventricle. Other heart defects may occur along with transposition of the great arteries. About 25 percent of children with transposition will also have a ventricular septal defect (VSD) . In nearly a third, the branching pattern of the coronary arteries as they leave the transposed aorta is unusual. Infants may also have narrowing below the pulmonary valve that blocks blood flow from the left ventricle to the lungs.

ANTI ANGINAL DRUGS samer kareem 7,199 Views • 2 years ago

Angina results from a reduction in the oxygen supply/demand ratio. Therefore, in order to alleviate the pain, it is necessary to improve this ratio. This can be done either by increasing blood flow (which increases oxygen delivery or supply), or by decreasing oxygen demand (i.e., by decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption).

Wrist ganglion aspiration
Wrist ganglion aspiration samer kareem 19,437 Views • 2 years ago

A nonsurgical method of treating a ganglion is to drain the fluid from (aspirate) the ganglion sac. Your doctor can do this in the office using the following procedure: The ganglion area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution. A local anesthetic is injected into the ganglion area to numb the area. When the area is numb, the ganglion sac is punctured with a sterile needle. The fluid is drawn out of the ganglion sac. The ganglion collapses. A bandage and, in some cases, a splint are used for a few days to limit movement and prevent the ganglion sac from filling again. Treating a ganglion by draining the fluid with a needle may not work because the ganglion sac remains intact and can fill again, causing the ganglion to return. For this reason, your doctor may puncture the sac with the needle 3 or 4 times so the sac will collapse completely. Even then, the ganglion is likely to come back.
