Spinal stenosis of the lumbar spine: Surgical treatment

   Surgical treatment of spinal stenosis, spinal department is appointed in order to reduce or eliminate the pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. When the operation is the removal or adjustment of the damaged parts of the spinal column. The successful surgery is to expand the spinal canal and reduce pressure on the nerves and, consequently, the elimination of pain, numbness and weakness in the legs.

Spinal stenosis of the lumbar spine: Causes

   The most common cause of spinal stenosis - changes in the spine. By changes in the spine to treat sealing of soft tissue and the gradual degeneration of the discs and joints that connect the vertebrae of the spine. Each of these changes may cause narrowing of the spinal canal. Spinal stenosis usually develops gradually. As the process of development can be compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Treatment for back pain

   How is it diagnosed back pain?

• Before the doctor will treat back pain, he or she can conduct research to determine the cause of back pain. The doctor will check your range of motion and function of nerves and hold a study Manual procedure to determine the localization of discomfort.

• Analysis of blood and urine tests will give information about the pain occurred due to infection or other system problems.

Herniated Disc - What's going on?

   The gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs is a natural part of aging, which often leads to a herniated disc. However, only a few people with a herniated disc suffer from severe symptoms.

   Due to the aging and injury outer layer of the disc membrane can dry out and form cracks. This causes deformations and fractures the disc. Often a herniated disc causes strain and is not broken disk.

Low back pain - Operation

   Surgery is rarely performed for the treatment of low back pain. In most cases, back pain can not be removed by surgery.

   The majority of spine surgery is performed to treat herniated discs. Although not all people with a herniated disc surgery is needed. The operation can be carried out when the problems with the disc causing sciatica. For more information, see the section "herniated disk."

Scoliosis - Causes

   In 80% of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown. This idiopathic scoliosis. It develops most often in children and adolescents and is associated with several factors, including genetics and heredity.
There are two types of scoliosis: structural and nonstructural. 

    Nonstructural scoliosis involves curvature of the spine, without bias, which is reversible, due to such factors as:

Prevention of back pain

   Prevention of back pain is controversial. For a long time it was thought that exercise and a healthy lifestyle can prevent back pain. But this is not the case. Several studies have shown that such improper exercise can increase the chance of developing back pain. Nevertheless, exercise is important to overall health and should perform. These kinds of activities, like swimming, walking and cycling, can improve overall health without straining the waist.

Сhronic Gastroduodenit

   Сhronic Gastroduodenit characterized non-specific inflammatory gastro restructuring of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum, as well as secretory and motor-evacuation disorders.

   In children, unlike adults isolated lesion stomach or duodenum relatively rarely observed in 10-15% of cases. Significantly more likely to watch a combined loss of these departments. The duodenum, being hormonally active organ, has a regulating effect on the functional activity and the evacuation of the stomach, pancreas and biliary tract.

Mitral valve prolapse

   Mitral valve prolapse - bowing of one or both mitral valve into the cavity of the left atrium during systole of the left ventricle. This is one of the most common forms of violation of valvular heart. Prolapse of the mitral valve prolapse may be accompanied by other valves or combined with other small abnormalities of the heart.   

Mitral valve prolapse is identified in 2-18% of children and adolescents, ie significantly more frequently than in adults. In diseases of the heart mitral valve prolapse recorded significantly higher: up to 37% of congenital heart defects, to 30-47% in patients with rheumatism and up to 60-100% of patients with hereditary connective tissue diseases.

Vegetative-vascular dystonia

   Vegetative-vascular dystonia (VVD) - a symptom of diverse clinical manifestations, affecting various organs and systems, and developing as a result of abnormalities in the structure and function of the central and / or peripheral parts of the autonomic nervous system.

   Vegetative-vascular dystonia - not an independent nosological form, but in combination with other pathogenic factors, it can contribute to the development of many diseases and conditions, most often have a psychosomatic component (arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, asthma, peptic ulcer disease, etc.). Autonomic changes determine the development and course of many diseases of childhood. In turn, somatic, and any other disease can exacerbate autonomic disorders.

Tuberculosis

   Tuberculosis - an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and characterized by the development of cell allergies, specific granulomas in various organs and tissues and polymorphic clinical picture.

   Tuberculosis has been known since ancient times and still is a major health and social problem. Every year, the world's 8,000,000 people become ill, and 3,000,000 - are dying of tuberculosis. The value of a pandemic is so great that in 1993 the WHO declared TB an issue of "great danger." In recent years, the world has increased the incidence of tuberculosis.

Bronchitis

   Acute bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchi of any caliber of various etiologies (infectious, allergic, toxic), which developed in a short period of time. Distinguish acute bronchitis, acute obstructive bronchitis, acute bronchiolitis. 

Causes of Acute Bronchitis

    Most often the causative factor of acute bronchitis - different viruses, bacteria rarely. Irritatsionnye bronchitis occur during exposure to toxic and chemical substances and physical factors. Allergic acute bronchitis. Bronchitis is often accompanied by a diphtheria, typhoid fever, whooping cough. The etiology of bronchitis and clinical features often depend on the age of the children.

Pneumonia

   Pneumonia - an acute infectious inflammatory disease of the lung parenchyma with involvement in the process of all structural elements, mainly respiratory portions of the lungs.   The concept of "pneumonia" does not include lung disease caused by physical and chemical factors, diseases caused by vascular changes and allergies, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and diffuse pulmonary fibrosis.

   In the structure of lung disease in young children acute pneumonia is about 80%. Until now pneumonia among the 10 most common causes of death. The incidence of pneumonia in different regions of the averages from 4 to 17 cases per 1000 children.

Angina

   Angina - common infectious disease with local manifestations in the form of an acute inflammation of one or more components of lymphadenoid pharyngeal ring, usually of the tonsils. The term "angina" is known since ancient medicine, to date associated with it many of the pathological changes in the oropharynx, with common symptoms, but differ in the etiology and course. 

Diseases of the skin

Skin diseases are the largest human organ. By area, the skin is the largest organ that acts as a conductor, protection and isolation.
    As is well known skin consists of dead cells (epidermis) which form the outer layer of the dermis (the dermis), as well as the subcutaneous fat.
    It should be said that the diseases of the skin, it is an extremely complex concept, as quite a few factors, as well as their variability among themselves beset diagnosis and treatment.
    For Skin Disorders affect primarily physiological processes in the body, against incorrect functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine and exocrine and endocrine systems of the blood and so on.
