‘Functional Neurological Symptoms’ disorder or conversion disorder is a rare mental condition in which an subconscious emotional conflict is expressed by an alteration or loss of physical functioning. Any physical or psychological examination cannot explain these symptoms or signs. It is primarily a nerve disorder in the body where the brain cannot send or receive signals properly, thereby leaving the patient feeling unable to use their senses.
Are you or your loved ones keep coughing and feel short of breath? Do you or any of your loved ones feel a little more tired than usual after a day of walking? These could be symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive loss of lung function that affects millions across the world.
The most common symptom is shortness of breath. It may be very subtle. A person might just think, “I am getting a little puffy while walking/climbing steps, or I’m getting fat, old.” People, generally, tend to put it aside and not worry about it.
Sciatica is a common condition that affects the sciatic nerves, that branches from the lower back through the hips to the buttocks and down each leg. This complication typically affects only one side of the body.
The condition commonly occurs due to the spine narrowing, bone spur on the spine, or a herniated disk compressing a part of the sciatic nerve. The problems involve pain and numbness in the affected leg and inflammation.
ओळखल्या जाणाऱ्या सर्व रचनात्मक जन्मजात दोषांपैकी सर्वात प्रचलित आणि गंभीर आजार म्हणजे जन्मजात ह्रदय विकार (CHD). त्याचे अंदाजे प्राबल्य ०.९% आहे, म्हणजे दर ११० नवजात बालकांपैकी एकाला हा आजार असतो. यांचे मूळ बहु-घटकीय मानले जाते (म्हणजे यामध्ये अनेक घटकांचा समावेश असतो) आणि परिणामी या दोषाचे एकच कारण दाखवणे अवघड असते. गर्भधारणेच्या १४-६० दिवसांमध्ये गर्भाचे ह्रदय विकसित होत असताना, या टप्प्यात अनुवांशिकदृष्ट्या संवेदनशील व्यक्तीमध्ये संक्रमण किंवा चुकीच्या औषधांतून उद्भवणाऱ्या कोणत्याही समस्यांच्या परिणामी गंभीर जन्मजात ह्रदय विकार होऊ शकतो.
Congenital Heart Diseases(CHD) are the most prevalent and serious of all recognized structural birth defects. Their estimated prevalence is 0.9%, which means that one in every 110 newborns is born with the disease. They are considered multi-factorial (meaning involvement of many factors) in origin and as a result, it is difficult to pinpoint a single cause for the defect.
Three layers of a protective membrane known as meninges line the brain and the spinal cord. When there is an infection of the meninges, it is known as meningitis. However, when the infection is due to a fungus called Cryptococcus, it is cryptococcal meningitis. It is a type of meningitis that affects people with a weakened immune system due to other health conditions. Failure to receive timely treatment can have a permanent result and sometimes be fatal.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a liquid surrounding your brain and spinal cord, serving as a protective cushion. It is held in place by three layers of membranes, with a CSF leak occurring when there is an opening in the outermost layer (dura mater), allowing some of the fluid to escape.
By definition, a cystocele is a medical condition in which a woman’s urinary bladder bulges into her vagina. It is also known as a prolapsed bladder, fallen bladder or an anterior vaginal prolapse.
Cytokine storm is a physiological response to an infection or disease, in which your inherent immune system releases large quantities of cytokines into the blood. All this happens quickly, and therefore, it is a catastrophic health concern. This immune response is also known as hypercytokinemia, Cytokine storm syndrome [ CSS ].
