Overview
Many injuries cause permanent damage to the body. Out of the serious injuries to the human body, concussion is one such brain injury that affects the brain function severely. It may be caused by a sudden jolt on the head.
Persistent post-concussive symptoms, also known as post-concussion syndrome, happens when concussion symptoms last beyond the expected recovery period after the initial injury
Many people who suffer falls, or play sports like football or soccer, may suffer concussions at any point in their career.
Perthes disease is a hip disorder that commonly affects children, and this condition develops when the blood flow to the ball part of the femoral head of the hip joint is disrupted or blocked.
Patients suffering from this disorder tend to have the hip joint weaken over time., and the femoral head loses its original spherical shape. Once the blood flow is restored, the ball socket is likely to heal and may revert to normalcy.
Phenylketonuria, also known as PKU, refers to a rare inherited disorder that results in the build-up of amino acid, known as phenylalanine, in the body. A defect in the gene that helps produce the enzyme required to break down phenylalanine causes this disorder. Many countries screen for Phenylketonuria (PKU) soon after a child is born, as early diagnosis helps prevent major health problems.

What is a Pinworm infection?
A pinworm infection is an infection of the large intestine caused by a small white parasite. The medical term for the parasite is Enterobius vermicularis, but it is commonly referred to as pinworm. These pinworms are tiny, narrow worms white in color and less than half an inch in length. Pinworms, like other parasitic infections, survive by feeding off the host. Hence, they depend on their host for nutrition.
Although any age group can be affected, the ones most susceptible to a pinworm infection are:
Overview: What Is Pituitary Tumor?
A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland, a small pea-sized organ located at the base of the brain. Despite its size, the pituitary gland is often called the “master gland” because it regulates hormones that control growth, metabolism, reproduction, and many other vital functions.
Most pituitary tumors are benign (noncancerous) and grow slowly. However, even noncancerous tumors can cause serious health problems by pressing on nearby structures in the brain or by producing too many (or too few) hormones.
Placenta accreta is a severe condition in pregnancy. It occurs when the placenta starts growing too deeply into the wall of the uterus. What usually happens is that the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after the baby’s delivery. However, a part or all of the placenta stays attached to the wall in placenta accrete. It can result in severe blood loss after delivery. Placenta accreta is a high-risk pregnancy complication.
