WHAT IS ZERO NEGITIVE SPONDLAR ARTHROPATHY?

---

was told by a rhuematoligst i have this
I think the rheumatologist said "seronegative spondylar arthropathy." The serum of 4 to 8'% of the general population tests positive for the histocompatablilty antigen B27. They are called seropositive. People who carry this antigen are more prone to develop certain types of spinal arthritis such as ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter's syndrome. However, not all people who develop various types of arthritis of the spine carry this antigen. They are referred to as seronegative or B27 negative.  (+ info)

Diabetes Insipidus - neurogenic OR nephrogenic?

---

can you distinguish between the neurogenic and nephrogenic factors that result in the symptoms of diabetes insipidus?
Neurogenic DI is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to conserve water due to the resistance to the anti diuretic hormone,arginine vassopressin (ADH)
Nephrogenic DI is due to the insensitivity of the kidneys to ADH.
The condition is genetic.
The biggest risk is dehydration so the patients have to take large amounts of water and I mean LARGE.
Over the years there is a risk of problems with bladder or urethra due to the large amounts of water processed.  (+ info)

What are 10 possible causes of low blood pressure?

---

For each of the causes which term applies to it: cardiogenic, neurogenic, hypovolemic, distributive or obstructive?
Cardiogenic (heart related) orthostatic hypotension. In this instance the heart doesn't respond adequately to demands for greater pumping and blood pressure drops. Conditions such as arrhythmia, heart failure, deconditioning, and pregnancy are examples.
Hypovolemic - Low blood volume (e.g. anemia, dehydration, dialysis)
Medication related (usually too high doses of blood pressure medications or medications for depression)
Primary adrenal insufficiency.
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension
. Sensory neuropathies (diabetes, alcohol, syphilis, Holmes-Adie syndrome, carotid sinus obliteration by endarterectomy, Riley-Day syndrome)
Multiple system atrophy or Shy-Drager, Parkinson's, dementia with Lewy bodies. Patients with MSA have intact sympathetic noradrenergic innervation.
Medullary strokes or injuries
Peripheral neuropathy, especially diabetes and amyloidosis
PAF - pure autonomic failure or idiopathic orthostatic hypotension.
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency  (+ info)

does anyone know what this means....degenerative bulging and facet arthropathy with an annulus fibrosis tear?

---

had and mri and these are my results dont know what they mean please help
i had a mri yesterday and these are my results i am only 22 years old what will happen now is it fixable?
It means you are getting old and falling apart! This result looks like it refers to a vertebral disc that is starting to degenerate - probably an indication of degenerative disc disease that has caused a herniated disc to develop. The results show that a disc is getting squished and it has actually ruptured (herniated). This means that the disc isn't working the way it should - its supposed to cushion the joints between vertebrae and act as a spacer so the nerve roots that emerge from the spine are not pinched by the bones. So you are probably experiencing nerve pain/tingling/numbness in the nerve(s) that are being pinched by this particular disc.  (+ info)

what is degenerative arthropathy?

---

arthropathy is a disease of a joint. Although the terms "arthropathy" and arthritis have very similar meanings, the former is traditionally used to describe the conditions listed below when discussing degenerative arthropathy:

degenerative arthropathy - also known as or related to degenerative polyarthritis (disorder), osteoarthritis (disorder), hypertrophic polyarthritis, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, degenerative arthritis.

The degenerative aspect simply indicates that there is metabolic defect in the joint (articular) cartilage.  (+ info)

What is mild soft tissue edema around the acromioclavicular joint?

---

MRI with some acromioclavicular arthropathy with bone marrow edema at the distal clavicle and some mild soft tissue edema around the acromioclavicular joint.
Oedema is swelling of part of body and accumulation of fluid in the tissue space
Physical therapy -short wave dia thermy may help to cure it  (+ info)

Have just been told I have Spondylo Arthropathy. What can be done to help with pain or to fix the problem?

---

Have had lower back pain for almost two years and finally today after seeing 3 orthopeadic surgeons, a gynegologist and numerous pyhsiotherapists, I saw a rhumatologist who has told me I have Spondylo Arthropathy after having new x-rays and blood tests done. what can be done to help with the pain i have in my lower back, or is there something that a doctor can do to help or to fix the problem.

thankyou for your help.
what ever you do,remember that your the one paying the doc.so when they tell you to live with it,tell them to live without you...don't be like a lot of people and suffer just because you trust a doctor.he/she's only a "your" doctor if they are willing to help you.  (+ info)

What is the most common type of shock found in children?

---

Is it anaphylactic, cardiogenic, hypovolemic, septic, or neurogenic?
most likely anaphylactic due to undiscovered allergies in children although the answer could be cardiogenic but cardiac deficiencies in children usually result from respiratory failure anyway so it would be hard to tell. hypovolemic could be up there too. it just kind of depends  (+ info)

Can someone please explain this MRI report to me? findings:- There is AC joint arthropathy. No lateral sloping?

---

Can someone please explain this MRI report to me? findings:- There is AC joint arthropathy. No lateral sloping of the acromion or inferior hooking. No muscle atrophy or denervation. No effusion or fracture. There is tendinopathy of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. There is articular fraying of both tendons predominantly the posterior infraspinatus. No discrete tear. Bicepts is intact. Subscapularis is intact. No evidence for capsular disruption. No dislocation. There is degeneration of the superior labrum. Impression. Extensive articular fraying, infraspinatus tendon. AC joint arthropathy.
