Angina (Angina Pectoris)

#angina, #chest pain, #myocardial infarction, #coronary artery, #atherosclerosis, #stent, #sudden death

Angina is a cardiovascular condition in which the coronary arteries — the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart — become narrowed, causing a dull chest pain. Because heart disease can be a major cause of sudden death, if you feel chest discomfort that is different from what you normally experience, please do not delay in consulting a medical specialist.

Cerebral Aneurysm

A cerebral aneurysm is a condition in which the wall of a blood vessel in the brain becomes abnormally thin and bulges outward. Before it ruptures, it usually causes no symptoms and is sometimes found by chance during a health checkup. Because a rupture can become a life-threatening emergency, people with risk factors are advised to talk with their doctor about regular screening. If a health checkup shows an abnormal finding, please consult a neurosurgery specialist, and if a sudden, severe headache occurs, seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room.

Coronary artery disease is a condition that occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, become narrowed or blocked. Angina and myocardial infarction are the main types, and myocardial infarction is an emergency that needs prompt treatment. If you have symptoms such as chest pain, seek immediate medical attention.

Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that is responsible for growth and metabolic function. Growth hormone therapy may be considered when short stature is caused by growth hormone deficiency or certain genetic conditions. Treatment continues for a long period, and consultation with an experienced pediatric endocrinology specialist is needed.

Hip Fracture

#hip fracture, #fall, #femur, #hip bone fracture, #joint replacement, #fracture fixation, #osteoporosis, #fracture in older adults

A hip fracture is the most serious type of fracture that occurs after a fall. The hip joint is the joint where the pelvic bone and the thigh bone (femur) connect. After a fracture, a person cannot bear weight or stand, which makes walking independently difficult, and in older patients it can lead to complications such as pneumonia, pressure sores, and sepsis, so mortality is high. If you have pain in the hip or upper thigh after a fall, please consult an orthopedic specialist right away.

Hip (hip joint) pain can occur in various rheumatic diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, and osteoarthritis are typical examples. When hip symptoms are present, an accurate diagnosis that takes systemic symptoms and blood tests into account is needed, so please be sure to consult a medical specialist.

Holiday Health Care for People with Arthritis

#arthritis, #rheumatoid arthritis, #osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis), #morning stiffness, #air pressure, #arthralgia, #warm compress, #cold compress, #holiday health, #joint protection, #joint pain, #knee pain, #shoulder pain, #wrist pain, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swelling in hands and feet

During holidays, there are many activities that strain the joints, such as long-distance travel, long hours of cooking, and carrying heavy loads. In addition, arthritis symptoms can worsen in transitional seasons with large daily temperature swings and changes in air pressure. Avoid overexerting yourself with holiday work, and protect your joints with stretching, warm compresses, and appropriate exercise.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. Joint stiffness, swelling, and pain usually appear symmetrically on both sides, mainly in the small joints of the hands and feet. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the impact on daily life. If you suspect symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.

People with arthritis may experience worse pain with changes in the weather, particularly when barometric pressure drops or temperatures fall. If joint pain becomes severe or lasts for a long time, please consult a medical specialist.

Robotic Surgery for Colon and Rectal Cancer

#colorectal cancer, #rectal cancer, #robotic surgery, #minimally invasive surgery, #general surgery

Robotic surgery can offer several advantages when operating on cancers of the colon and rectum. However, robotic surgery is not the right choice for every patient. Do not rely on information from the internet to choose a surgical method; choose it based on an accurate diagnosis by a surgical specialist.

Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer

#gastric cancer, #robotic surgery, #gastrectomy, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #gastric cancer surgery, #chemotherapy, #gastric cancer stage, #hand tremor, #body tremor

Robotic surgery for gastric cancer is a minimally invasive operation in which a surgeon controls a robot to treat gastric cancer. 'Minimally invasive' refers to a method of operating through only small openings in the body. The surgical method (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) is decided by your treating specialist after considering society guidelines, the latest research findings, and the patient's condition together. Please discuss the most suitable surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist.

Tongue Cancer

#tongue cancer, #oral cancer, #head and neck cancer, #squamous cell carcinoma, #smoking, #human papillomavirus, #HPV, #tongue ulcer, #glossectomy, #flap reconstruction, #nausea, #feeling like vomiting, #vomiting

Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.

Winter Falls and Hip Fractures

#hip fracture, #fall, #winter fracture, #osteoporosis, #hip bone, #femur, #joint replacement, #fracture prevention

Fractures caused by falls in winter are a serious health problem for older adults. Hip fractures in particular (fractures of the hip bone) can lead to serious complications if not treated appropriately. Preventing osteoporosis and being careful to avoid falls are important.

Wrist Fracture

#wrist fracture, #fall, #fracture, #winter fracture, #icy road, #osteoporosis, #wrist, #cast

A wrist fracture occurs when a person puts a hand out to break a fall and the impact is transmitted to the wrist. It commonly occurs after falls on icy roads in winter, and older adults and women with osteoporosis-weakened bones can fracture even with minor impact. If left untreated, it can lead to wrist deformity, limited joint motion, and arthritis. If you have pain and swelling in the wrist after a fall, please consult an orthopedic specialist.
