Final note,

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the internal spaces of the spinal canal.

Neural foraminal stenosis (narrowing) is one type of spinal stenosis.

The nerves that extend out from the spinal cord come out through the neural foramen in the vertebrae.

If this space becomes too narrow, nerve root compression occurs.

Usually, this condition occurs in the vertebrae of the lower back and neck area, various symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling sensation and muscle weakness & loss of power can be seen.

Neural foraminal stenosis can happen due to many factors such as aging, injury to the spine, degenerative disk disease, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.

Note,

When blood accumulates inside the ovarian cysts, they are called hemorrhagic cysts.

Often corpus luteal or follicular cysts turn into hemorrhagic cysts.

Mostly these are small enough to cause no symptoms.

But sometimes this can cause various symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities, painful in*******se and lower abdominal pain.

large ovarian cysts can lead to complications such as hemoperitonium(due to ruptured cysts) or ovarian torsion.

In such cases, symptoms like intense pain, nausea and vomiting, faintness can be noted.

Hospitalization should be done immediately when these symptoms are present.

Note,

The accumulation of fluids inside the fallopian tubes which lie in between the uterus and the ovaries is called hydrosalphynx.

Often hydrosalphynx occurs as a result of untreated infections (PID), sexually transmitted diseases (STI), and diseases like endometriosis, also followed by a surgical procedure.

Some women may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge.

When the fallopian tubes are blocked, s***m cannot pass through, leading to potential fertility issues.

Note,

Gas exchange in the lungs; oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide enters the lungs through the alveoli.

The walls of the alveoli are made very thin so that the exchange of air between the alveoli and the blood capillaries becomes easy.

If the alveoli walls are damaged somehow, the air exchange in the lungs will become hampered

This condition is known as emphysema.

Air becomes trapped inside the lungs in case of emphysema which leads to a barrel-shaped chest.

Also, symptoms such as difficulty breathing, cough, wheezing and fatigue can be seen.

The main reason for emphysema is smoking.

Genetic conditions like Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency can also contribute to emphysema.

Note,

Abnormal heart rhythm is termed arrhythmia.

In case of arrhythmia heart rate may be very fast, very slow or irregular.

Various medical conditions can cause arrhythmia, among them one of the most common causes is atrial fibrillation.

The failure of the electrical impulses to reach the atriaum results in defective contraction of the atria followed by abnormal heart rate.

Symptoms like fatigue, faintness, difficulty breathing and chest pain can be experienced.

Also, the formation of blood clots can lead to complications such as stroke.

Coronary artery disease and high blood pressure can cause atrial fibrillation.

Note,

Some people find it difficult to breathe while lying down on a bed or any flat surface.

They tend to get up from recumbent posture and sit or stand upright as it gives some relief.

This is called orthopnea. When lying horizontally, the blood in the legs moves towards the heart.

If your heart is weak, it will be difficult to pump this blood out which tends to create extra pressure on the lungs and ultimately fluid gets collected within the lungs.

When fluid accumulates in the lungs person experiences shortness of breath when lying down.

This can occur due to various underlying diseases like congestive heart failure, COPD, pneumonia etc.

Note,

Croup/laryngotracheobronchitis is common among children under three years of age.

This is caused due to viral infections like parainfluenza.

The upper airway, that is, the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe) get inflamed in croup.

When a patient coughs, the air is forced through the swollen airway, resulting in a cough that sounds like a seal's bark.

Also when the child takes a breath, a loud raspy sound(stridor) can be heard.

This is a different condition than whooping cough. Whooping cough is primarily caused by bacterial infection.

Some people develop a heightened or increased sense of smell.

This condition is called hypersomnia.

Different medical conditions such as migraine, epilepsy and other neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases like Addison's disease and also pregnancy can result in hyperosmia.

If this condition persists, it is advisable to seek medical help.
