HOW IS MADE THE DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis is clinical, that is, instrumental tests are generally not necessary for the evaluation of the entity and type of wrinkles by the dermatologist, the plastic surgeon, the a...

  We are only aware of many elements and anatomical structures of our body when the body signals its presence to us, often through pain. Some of these are calcaneus spurs (also called "heel beaks," "heel spur," "bone spur"). These spurs appear as bony protrusions developed at the anterior plantar margin of the calcaneus. Do not confuse the calcaneus spurs with plantar fasciitis. The calcaneus spur is a bony deposit that forms on the calcaneus. Doctor Ali provides the best health and wellness center in the USA. In the case of plantar fasciitis, the pain appears on the inner edge of the foot, especially in the first steps, in the morning, which seem to improve after a warm-up period. Untreated, the pain becomes intolerable. In the case of the calcaneus spur, the pain appears in support. It is not the spur itself that hurts but the compression that it exerts on a small nerve that passes under it. About 70% of patients with plantar fasciitis have a bony ...

  The shock waves are a valuable therapeutic strategy non-invasive, well-tolerated, and with good efficiency, which is used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases and always comes after careful diagnostic evaluation. To dispel the myths and clarify doubts regarding their scope of application, the types, the pathologies that can be treated, the importance of using state-of-the-art instrumental physiotherapy machines, and, finally, the benefits that can be obtained from the application of a rehabilitation plan that includes them, we talk about it with Matteo Moro, massage physiotherapist and owner of the multi-specialist medical and physiotherapy canter MedicFisio Center in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. What are shock waves? Shock waves represent a therapy increasingly used in physiotherapy because with their use, and it is possible to obtain excellent effects and solve critical musculoskeletal disorders. Doctor Ali provides the best health and wellness c...

  Le Tube Proximal (TCP) (figure 3) About 2/3 of the water filtered by the glomerulus is reabsorbed as it passes through the proximal tube or nearly 120 L / d. 2/3 of the filtered Na + is also reabsorbed, which defines the iso-osmotic character of the water-sodium reabsorption in TCP. Therefore, the tubular fluid is iso-osmotic to the plasma upon arrival in the loop of Henle. The glucose is actively and fully reabsorbed at this level, provided that the blood sugar does not exceed 10 mmol per liter (beyond the filtered load exceeds the glucose reabsorption capacity by TCP, glucose transport is saturable). The bicarbonates are fully reabsorbed so coupled to Na, as their plasma concentration is less than 27 mmol per liter (saturable transport). This step conditions the balance of the acid balance achieved further downstream in the distal tube. The same is true for amino acids and other organic acids. Phosphate reabsorption occurs in TCP coupled to Na and under the hormonal c...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an alternative method for people with end-stage kidney disease. As a filter, it purifies the blood by using the peritoneum, the membrane surrounding the abdomen, intestine, and other internal organs. Just as effective as hemodialysis, this treatment is carried out at home by the patient or with the help of a healthcare professional (EMS, medical and surgical center (CMS), partner). This treatment requires the placement of a dialysis catheter (flexible plastic tube) in the abdominal cavity during hospitalization. It is left in place permanently. Part of the catheter remains outside the body. A liquid solution (dialysate) is injected into the abdominal cavity through the catheter to be mixed with blood during dialysis—the peritoneum, a semi-permeable, and richly vascularized membrane, act as an artificial kidney. In contact with the dialysate, the blood flow from the peritoneum releases the waste. Due to its composition, dialysate also removes accumulate...
