Bronchial Asthma: Causes

Pathogenesis (development of disease) Asthma is mainly a disease of the bronchi – the airways that connect the trachea to the lungs. The bronchi are surrounded by smooth muscle tissue. Furthermore, the bronchial walls contain mucus-producing glands and cells of the immune system such as mast cells, lymphocytes and eosinophilic granulocytes. When these are activated, … Bronchial Asthma: Causes

Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by allergic rhinitis (hay fever): Respiratory system (J00-J99) Bronchial asthma (pollen asthma; risk of disease in pollinosis (allergic rhinitis) is higher by a factor of 3.2 than in healthy individuals; “floor change”). Chronic sinusitis (sinusitis). Tympanic effusion (synonym: seromucotympanum) – accumulation … Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Complications

In Vitro Maturation

In vitro maturation (IVM) is a technique of extracorporeal fertilization, which means it occurs outside the human body. IVM relocates follicle maturation in vitro (egg maturation in a test tube). The procedure avoids side effects and risks of hormone therapy. In vitro maturation is usually offered in combination with in vitro fertilization (IVF; Latin for … In Vitro Maturation

Pleurisy (Pleura Inflammation): Medical History

Medical history (history of illness) is an important component in the diagnosis of pleurisy (pleurisy). Family history What is the current health status of your family members? Social anamnesis Current medical history/systemic history (somatic and psychological complaints). How quickly did the chest pain* occur? Acute – minutes to hours? Subacute – hours to days? Days … Pleurisy (Pleura Inflammation): Medical History

Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Tonometry

Tonometry (synonym: intraocular pressure measurement) is a diagnostic procedure in ophthalmology for measuring intraocular pressure (intraocular pressure), which nowadays can be performed non-invasively (not penetrating the eyeball) using various techniques. In adults, normal intraocular pressure is between 10 and 21 mmHg. It is caused by a continuous flow of aqueous humor formed by the ciliary … Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Tonometry

Uterine Cancer (Endometrial Carcinoma): Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by endometrial carcinoma (cancer of the uterus): Neoplasms – Tumor Diseases (C00-D48). Metastasis Liver Lungs Lymph nodes Bones Overcontinuous growth into adjacent organs such as the vagina (sheath) or parametria (connective tissue structures of the pelvic cavity that extend from the wall … Uterine Cancer (Endometrial Carcinoma): Complications

Vulvitis: Diagnostic Tests

Obligatory medical device diagnostics. Phase contrast microscopy of vaginal secretions – live, unstained cells appear extremely low in contrast in a normal brightfield microscope, these are well visualized by the phase contrast method (see below 1st order laboratory parameters). Optional medical device diagnostics – depending onthe results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and … Vulvitis: Diagnostic Tests

Visual Impairment: Lab Test

Laboratory parameters of the 1st order – obligatory laboratory tests. Urine status (rapid test for: pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, blood), sediment, if necessary urine culture (pathogen detection and resistogram, i.e. testing of suitable antibiotics for sensitivity/resistance). Fasting blood glucose (fasting glucose), if necessary oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT). Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending … Visual Impairment: Lab Test
