What is infantile?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hello,

I see you are asking "What is infantile myofibromatosis (im)?"

Infantile myofibromatosis, or IM, is a rare tumor that grows in the skin, muscles, bones, and sometimes in the organs of the chest or abdomen. IM tumors are benign, which means they are not cancer and do not spread to other parts of the body. But these tumors may grow large and damage nearby organs.

How far of a fall does it take to break a bone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends how strong your bones are, and how heavy you are. If you have really weak bones, then it will not take far, but if you have strong bones, it will take a bit more of a distance, falling out of a tree for example. If you land the right way, you could break a bone.

no... not in and of itself. however theres a catch... high cholesterol over time (years) can though it doesnt necessarily have to build up in the arteries.

What is the difference between brain tumors and brain cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The terms "brain tumor" and "brain cancer" are related but not synonymous. Here's the key difference between the two:

Brain Tumor:

A brain tumor is a broad term that refers to an abnormal growth or mass of cells within the brain or the surrounding tissues.

Brain tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Benign brain tumors typically grow slowly and do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. They can, however, cause symptoms if they press against surrounding structures.

Malignant brain tumors, on the other hand, are considered brain cancer. They are aggressive, tend to invade nearby healthy brain tissue, and can potentially spread to other parts of the central nervous system. Malignant brain tumors are often referred to as primary brain cancer.

Brain Cancer:

Brain cancer specifically refers to malignant tumors that originate within the brain or central nervous system (CNS). These tumors are composed of cancerous cells that can grow rapidly and invade nearby brain tissue.

Brain cancer is categorized into different types based on the specific cell types and tissues from which they arise. The most common primary brain cancers include gliomas (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), meningiomas, and medulloblastomas, among others.

Unlike benign brain tumors, brain cancer has the potential to metastasize (spread) within the CNS but rarely metastasizes outside the brain or spinal cord to other parts of the body.

In summary, a brain tumor is a general term for any abnormal growth in the brain, which can be either benign or malignant. Brain cancer, on the other hand, specifically refers to malignant tumors that originate within the brain or CNS. It's important to note that the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for brain tumors and brain cancer can vary widely depending on factors such as tumor type, location, size, and stage. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches, and it should be determined in consultation with medical professionals.

What animal is immune to all known diseases?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is believed that sharks are immune to almost all diseases; they rarely get sick. However, no animal is immune all disease. A disease is technically defined as any deviation from normal, so even a broken bone could be considered a "disease". As for viral/bacterial diseases, no animal is immune to all diseases of that or any other type. Every animal is susceptible to something.

What is a valois deformity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out with your question about valois deformity. I'd be happy to shed some light on this for you.

A Valois deformity, also known as a "Volar Plate Injury," typically occurs in the fingers, most commonly in the middle or ring finger. It's usually the result of a hyperextension injury, like when you accidentally jam your finger while playing sports or even just closing a stubborn door. When this happens, the volar plate, which is a thick ligament-like structure on the palm side of your finger, can get damaged. This ligament plays a crucial role in keeping your finger joints stable, so when it's injured, it can lead to various issues. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and difficulty in bending or straightening the affected finger. In some cases, it may even cause the finger to appear bent or crooked, hence the term "deformity."

Now, let me share a little story from my own life. A few years back, I was out playing basketball with friends, and in the heat of the game, I went for a steal but ended up jamming my middle finger pretty badly. It hurt like crazy, and my finger swelled up almost instantly. I couldn't bend it properly, and it looked slightly crooked. I was worried I might have a Valois deformity. So, I went to see a doctor, who confirmed that I had indeed injured the volar plate. Luckily, with some rest, ice, and a splint to immobilize the finger, it healed up well, and I regained full function. So, don't worry too much if you suspect you have a Valois deformity; it's treatable, and you'll likely recover just fine with the right care!
