Life-threatening diseases and First Hour Quintet

Today's era is advanced in many areas, but still short on many. Civilization diseases occur at a high rate. One of them is diabetes or diabetes mellitus. In terms of incidence, it ranks third, right after cardiovascular and cancer diseases. We know two basic types of diabetes and the myriad complications that accompany them. One of them is hyperglycemia - or elevated blood sugar. What is it, what are the causes, what causes it and what are the most common questions patients ask?

Diabetes is a serious disease and needs to be treated responsibly. However, sometimes it happens that the blood sugar level drops too low and the person has a state of hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemic coma is dangerous. However, it is not only the diabetic who has low blood sugar.

Cerebral hemorrhage (cerebral hemorrhage) is divided into spontaneous and traumatic. Both conditions threaten a person's health and life. Why do they occur and how do they manifest themselves?

A concussion (commotio cerebri) is a transient disturbance of brain function. It is caused by external forces. It is referred to as a mild brain injury.

Mushroom poisoning is one of the most common types of poisoning ever. It is most often encountered during the mushroom harvest season.

Cardiac tamponade ranks as an emergency condition that requires immediate treatment. It is manifested by failure of the heart to function as a pump, even death.

During aortic dissection, the vascular wall ruptures, with blood flowing between its inner layers. The extent may be small, but also extensive and affecting the entire aorta.

Aortic disorders are not common but are all the more serious. They can take place very quickly and acutely with life-threatening but also chronically.

Thromboembolic disease poses a risk of developing serious complications that threaten a person's life.

Hypertensive crisis is a life-threatening condition characterized by a sudden and sharp increase in blood pressure. It is accompanied by the risk of damage and failure of vital organs.

Cardiomyopathy refers to a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, the myocardium. We know several forms, they have different symptoms and also different treatments.

Epiglottitis is an acute life-threatening disease. It most often affects children under 6 years of age. It is mainly caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenza B. After the introduction of vaccination against hemophilic infections, its incidence decreased.

Shock - informally, this term is mostly used to indicate a stress response. However, in medicine, it has a completely different meaning. It indicates a condition where a person is acutely at risk to health and life.

Heart attack or heart failure can go into cardiogenic shock. Especially when neglecting early treatment is neglected. However, there are other reasons for its emergence.

Heart failure: a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood to the body and supply organs or tissues with oxygen and nutrients.

An aneurysm, also known as vascular edema, is a serious vascular disease. It affects the arteries and aortas. It is divided into right, dissecting, and false. A person can live with an unrecognized aneurysm for many years, however, its rupture immediately threatens a person's life.

Angina pectoris, or angina pectoris, is one form of ischemic heart disease. It arises as a result of a mismatch between the need and the supply of blood, and therefore also oxygen and nutrients, to the heart. It typically occurs with increased physical or mental stress. Attacks of angina pectoris recur and are manifested by pressure or animal pain in the chest.

Myocardial infarction or even heart muscle infarction is an acute form of ischemic heart disease. Ischemia, or bloodlessness, is caused by a blockage in the coronary artery that leads blood to the heart muscle cells. The main cause is a sudden closure or long-term narrowing of the blood vessel.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an acute condition in which blood vessels in the lungs become clogged. The most common cause is thromboembolic disease. A blood clot is released and travels through the vessels as an embolus. It clogs vessels. The massive form of PE is life-threatening.

Stroke is an acute disease of the nervous system that results from a disorder of the blood supply to the brain.
