Hi bobbym,

#798. Name the medical term / procedure - Surgical procedure in which each tonsil is removed from a recess in the side of the pharynx called the tonsillar fossa. The procedure is performed in response to repeated occurrence of acute tonsillitis, sleep surgery for obstructive sleep apnea, nasal airway obstruction, diphtheria carrier state, snoring, or peritonsillar abscess. For children, the adenoids (also known as a pharyngeal tonsil or nasopharyngeal tonsil) are usually removed at the same time, a procedure called adenoidectomy, or tonsilloadenoidectomy when combined. Adenoidectomy is uncommon in adults in whom the adenoids are usually vestigial.

#800. Name the medical term / phrase - A surgical procedure that disables selected pain-conducting tracts in the spinal cord, in order to achieve loss of pain and temperature perception.

It is usually done percutaneously with fluoroscopic guidance while the patient is under local anesthesia. It is now used exclusively for pain due to cancer where treatment to level 3 of the World Health Organisation pain ladder has proved ineffective. It is especially indicated for pain due to asbestos-related cancers such as pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma.

Hi bobbym,

#902. Name the medial term / phrase : (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and Charcot disease) It is a specific disorder that involves the death of neurons. In the United Kingdom the term motor neurone disease (MND) is commonly used, while others use that term for a group of five conditions of which ALS is the most common. ALS is characterized by stiff muscles, muscle twitching, and gradually worsening weakness due to muscle wasting. This results in difficulty speaking, swallowing, and eventually breathing. The cause is not known in 90% to 95% of cases. About 5–10% of cases are inherited from a person's parents. About half of these genetic cases are due to one of two specific genes. It results in the death of the neurons that control voluntary muscles. The diagnosis is based on a person's signs and symptoms with testing done to rule out other potential causes.

Hi bobbym,

#904. Name the medical term / phrase - The occurrence of confusion, altered level of consciousness, and coma as a result of liver failure. In the advanced stages it is called hepatic coma or coma hepaticum. It may ultimately lead to death. It is caused by accumulation in the bloodstream of toxic substances that are normally removed by the liver. The diagnosis of it requires the presence of impaired liver function and the exclusion of an alternative explanation for the symptoms. Blood tests (ammonia levels) may assist in the diagnosis. Attacks are often precipitated by an intercurrent problem, such as infection or constipation.
