Nail dystrophy in a brief!

Nail dystrophy also called onychodystrophy, is a general term that describes malformed fingernails and toenails; in this condition, the nails are often deformed, ridged, pitted or discolored.
Nail dystrophy involves partial or complete disruption of the various keratinous layers of the nail plate. Nail dystrophy may result from any traumatic or inflammatory process that involves the nail matrix, nail bed, or surrounding tissues.

Causes
Nail dystrophy can be caused by:

1. Congenital nail diseases
2. Systemic disorders such as anemia, Raynaud’s disease, hepatic failure, chronic heart failure, renal failure, thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic bronchitis also affect nail growth.
3. Dermatophyte fungal nail infection (onychomycosis)
4. Nonfungal infections
5. Inflammatory dermatologic diseases of the nail unit such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, lichen nitidus, pityriasis rubra pilaris, alopecia areata, Darier’s disease and tumors.
6. Systemic drug use like chemotherapeutic agents. These agents act on rapidly proliferating organs.
7. Nail trauma: biting, grooming, and chronic manipulation of any sort may also result in nail dystrophy. Repeated trauma to the cuticle may median nail dystrophy (central longitudinal ridging).

Summary
1. Onychomycosis is the most common cause of nail dystrophy in adults, it is unusual in children before puberty.
2. Among skin inflammatory dermatoses, psoriasis is the most common cause of nail dystrophy.
3. Dystrophic nails occur frequently as a complications.

The section of the spinal column called the thoracic spine begins below the cervical spine (C7, neck), roughly at shoulder level and continues downward until it reaches the first level of the low back (L1, lumbar spine). Twelve vertebrae, numbered T1 through T12 from top to bottom, make up the thoracic spine. When viewed from the side, a normal forward curvature called kyphosis (or kyphotic curve) is seen.

Its attachment to the rib cage affords the thoracic region of the spinal column greater stability and strength.

Because the ribs attach to the thoracic spine’s vertebrae, this section of the spine is strong and stabilizing, with less range-of-motion than the cervical (neck) levels. While the thoracic spine is less prone to injury than other sections of the vertebral column, it is the most common location for vertebral fracture due to osteoporosis. Scoliosis and abnormal kyphosis are other thoracic spinal disorder

আমাদের মধ্যে অনেকেই আছেন যারা বাচ্চাদের খুশী করার জন্য এক, দুই, বা পাঁচ টাকার কয়েন দিয়ে থাকি এবং বাচ্চাদের একটা খুবি সাধারন অভ্যাস যেকেনো জিনিস হাতে পেলে মুখে ভরে।
ঠিক এই রকম একটা বাচ্চা বয়স ৪বছর পাঁচ টাকার কয়েন খেয়ে ফেলে এবং x ray করে দেখা যায় সেটা পাকস্থলীতে গেছে । কয়েন যদি শ্বাসনালি তে যেত তাহলে অনেক বেশি জটিল সমস্যা হতো। বাচ্চাদের কয়েন দেবেন না একটু খুশির জন্য অনেক দুঃখ পেতে পারেন
