What else can I help you with?
Short stature is a condition resulting from the failure of the bones of the limbs to grow to an appropriate length?
Yes. This condition was formerly know as dwarfism.
What is the term for failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax?
Esophageal achalasia is the term used for the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and dysphagia. There is total absence of peristalsis of esophagus, and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax when food or liquid is swallowed. This gives rise to vomiting of food or liquid as soon as it is swallowed. There really isn't any cause but there are some guesses none are proven.
Does pulmonary hypertension causes left ventricular failure?
Pulmonary hypertension can lead to right ventricular failure, a condition known as cor pulmonale. This can eventually cause strain on the left side of the heart, potentially leading to left ventricular failure. Regular monitoring and treatment of both pulmonary hypertension and potential resulting heart failure are important in managing this condition.
What causes pathological hypercortisolemia?
Pathological hypercortisolemia, or Cushing's syndrome, named after the United States surgeon, Harvey Cushing (1869-1939), may result from a lung cancer , tumor of the pituitary or adrenal glands, or from kidney failure.
Is it possible to have proteinuria without renal failure?
Yes! You can have proteinuria without renal failure, and you can have renal failure without proteinuria. Some situations where you might have proteinuria in the absence of renal failure include over production of protein (eg. side effects of medications), glomerulonephritis/nephrotic syndrome (where you have inflammation in the kidneys, causing temporarily more permeable glomeruli), preeclampsia, or even transiently it may not be pathological at all. Ongoing nephrotic syndrome can cause permanent damage to the kidneys, eventually resulting in renal failure.
Can Cor pulmonale lead to heart failure?
This condition can lead to heart failure
What is the medical term meaning abnormal condition of meiosis?
The medical term for an abnormal condition of meiosis is meiotic non-disjunction, which refers to the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the resulting gametes. This can lead to conditions such as Down syndrome.
What occurs with Achalasia?
In achalasia, which means "failure to relax," the esophageal sphincter remains contracted. Normal peristalsis is interrupted and food cannot enter the stomach
What is acute peripheral circulatory failure?
Sudden failure of the circulatory system in the limbs or a limb often resulting in gangrene and subsequent organ failure.
What did Tom Clancy die from?
Tom Clancy died from heart failure resulting from a rare underlying health condition called cardiomyopathy. He passed away on October 1, 2013 at the age of 66.
What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
The difference between acute renal (kidney) failure and chronic kidney failure, is that acute is a sudden onset. Something like a medical condition, trama, or surgery can cause the failure within days or even hrs. Chrinic kidney failure is slow damage to the kidney over a few years, resulting in the kidneys not being able to filter blood properly.
What condition is caused by the failure of chromosomes to separate in meiosis?
The condition that is caused is a trisomy or a monosomy
