If you need heart bypass surgery, the procedure is pretty similar. A surgeon takes blood vessels from another part of your body to go around, or bypass, a blocked artery. The result is that more blood and oxygen can flow to your heart again. ... Bypass surgery is also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Dec 12, 2015
Colposcopy (kol-POS-kuh-pee) is a procedure to closely examine your cervix, vagina and vulva for signs of disease. During colposcopy, your doctor uses a special instrument called a colposcope. Your doctor may recommend colposcopy if your Pap test has shown abnormal results.
Polyarteritis nodosa Email this page to a friend Email this page to a friend Facebook Twitter Google+ Polyarteritis nodosa is a serious blood vessel disease. The small and medium-sized arteries become swollen and damaged. Causes Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to organs and tissues. The cause of polyarteritis nodosa is unknown. The condition occurs when certain immune cells attack the affected arteries. More adults than children get this disease. The tissues that are fed by the affected arteries do not get the oxygen and nourishment they need. Damage occurs as a result. People with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C may develop this disease.
The thyroid gland lies in the midline of the anterior neck, just caudal to the thyroid cartilage. To inspect the thyroid gland, the examiner stands in front of the patient. The examiner asks the seated patient to dorsiflex (extend) the neck and swallow a sip of water. Minor enlargement of the gland may only become apparent on inspection in this position. Palpation of the thyroid gland is typically performed with the examiner standing behind the patient. Both lobes and the isthmus of the thyroid gland should be palpated for any nodules or diffuse enlargement. Mobility of the thyroid gland with swallowing should be assessed with palpation. Nodules arising from the thyroid gland typically move with swallowing. A hard, fixed thyroid gland could indicate malignancy. If a central nodule is identified, the patient is asked to protrude the tongue. Upward movement of the central nodule on protrusion of the tongue indicates a thyroglossal cyst. Auscultation is performed at the superior poles of bilateral lobes as this is where the superior thyroid artery is most superficial and bifurcates into its terminal branches. A bilateral bruit over the superior poles suggests Graves disease. Examination of the thyroid gland is completed by palpating the regional cervical lymph nodes for any enlargement.

Protopic Vitiligo, Weiße Flecken Am Rücken, Pigmentflecken Im Gesicht Entfernen, Flecken Haut--- http://vitiligo-heilung.info-pro.co --- Weiße Flecken auf der Haut: Vitiligo, Die Entwicklung weißer Flecken auf der Haut ist ist ein Symptom einer Hautstörung, die Vitiligo genannt, im deutschen Sprachgebrauch aber auch häufig als "Weißfleckenkrankheit" bezeichnet wird. Man bringt den Zustand mit der Zerstörung oder Fuktionsstörung der Hautzellen in Verbindung, die für die Herstelleung des Hautpigmentes (Melanin) zuständig sind, welches dem Menschen seine Hautfarbe verleiht. Meistens entwickeln sich die Flecken dabei an Stellen, die oft der Sonne ausgesetzt sind, also z.B. die Hände, Arme, Füße, Beine und das Gesicht. Bisweilen treten die Flecken aber auch in den Achselhöhlen, im Genitalbereich und um den Bauchnabel herum auf. Von Vitiligo betroffene erleben häufig auch ein vorzeitiges Ergrauen der Haare. Es wird geschätzt, dass mindestens 1 % der Bevölkerung der Vereinigten Staaten an Vitiligo leidet; in Europe sind die Zahlen ähnlich. Weltweit leiden gegenwärtig mehr als 100 Millionen Menschen an der Hauterkrankung. Die Ursache von Vitiligo Die genaue Ursache der Erkrankung ist noch immer unbekannt. Eine der populärsten Theorien ist jedoch, dass es sich bei Vitiligo um eine Autoimmunstörung handelt. Sie veranlasst das Immunsystem, die Melanozyten (die Hautpigmente produzierenden Hautzellen) anzugreifen. In der Tat haben Menschen, die an einer anderen Autoimmunstörung, wie adrenocorticaler Unterfunktion or Schilddrüsenüberfunktion leiden, ein weitaus höheres Risiko, auch an Vitiligo zu erkranken. Manche Mediziner sind auch der Auffassung, dass Sonnenbrände, emotionaler Stress und bestimte Medikamente die weißen hautflecken hervorrufen könnten. Es wird außerdem geglaubt, dass Vitiligo is also believed eine genetisch vererbte Erkrankung darstellt. Behandlungsoptionen für Vitiligo Für Vitiligo gibt es unterschiedliche Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Allerdings sind sie allesamt praktisch wirkungslos und beinhalten dazu noch das Risiko, ernsthafte Nebenwirkungen hervorzurufen. Krankenversicherer übernehmen zudem die vollen Behandlungskosten. Das allein macht eine Vitiligo-Behandlung bereits zu teuer für die meisten Patienten, denn es sind üblichwerweise zwei bis drei Besuche wöchentlich in ener Spezialklinik nötig. Ein Paradebeispiel für eine solche Behandlung ist die sogenannte PUVA-Therapie, die ausgesprochen häufig eingesetzt wird.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs when fluid builds up in the tiny, elastic air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. More fluid in your lungs means less oxygen can reach your bloodstream. This deprives your organs of the oxygen they need to function. ARDS typically occurs in people who are already critically ill or who have significant injuries. Severe shortness of breath — the main symptom of ARDS — usually develops within a few hours to a few days after the original disease or trauma. Many people who develop ARDS don't survive. The risk of death increases with age and severity of illness. Of the people who do survive ARDS, some recover completely while others experience lasting damage to their lungs.
When a stroke affects an extensive portion of the front and back regions of the left hemisphere, the result may be global aphasia. Survivors with global aphasia: May have great difficulty in understanding words and sentences. May have great difficulty in forming words and sentences. May understand some words. Get out a few words at a time. Have severe difficulties that prevent them from effectively communicating.
Examination of Peripheral Vascular System - Clinical Skills OSCE Revision - Dr Gill
In this video, we demonstrate the peripheral vascular examination - a less common examination, but still vitally important, particularly amongst the older population
Starting with the examination of the hands looking for clinical signs of vascular compromise, we then check the pulses of the major arteries of the upper body - the radial, brachial and carotid arteries, before moving down to assess for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
At this point, I feel it's a practical step to check the femoral pulses before doing the overview of the legs.
After visually assessing we must examine the major vascular areas of leg.- namely the popliteal pulses, before wrapping up around the ankle with the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis pulses
For completeness, the cardiovascular examination is demonstrated here

A pneumothorax is usually caused by an injury to the chest, such as a broken rib or puncture wound. It may also occur suddenly without an injury. A pneumothorax can result from damage to the lungs caused by conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis, and pneumonia.
