Cholesteatoma 

Cholesteatoma - This lesion is somewhat inappropriately named as it is not exactly a tumour nor is it made of cholesterol but rather it is a 3-dimensional collection of epidermal and connective tissues within the middle ear. Its significance lies in the fact that it grows independently and can be locally invasive and destructive. This (usually) unilateral lesion can give rise to a spectrum of problems ranging from painless otorrhoea (discharge from the ear) through to serious central nervous system complications. cholesteatoma, ear, eustachian, conductive hearing loss, deafness, deaf, hearing loss, otorrhoea, vertigo, tympanic membrane perforation, ent, ent., physical examination, examination, facial nerve palsy, facial nerve, symptoms and signs, history, history of, signs

Sprains and strains 

Sprains and strains, Sprains and strains are usually minor injuries that often result from sports, exercise, or other physical activity. Sprains refer to an injury to a ligament (the connective tissue that links bones together at joints). Sprains happen most often in the ankle, knee, elbow, or wrist. Strains are tears in muscle tissue. They happen most often in the muscles that support the calf, thigh, groin, and shoulder. Sometimes sprains and strains can be severe, needing weeks of rehabilitation." Sprains and strains"

Asbestosis - Virtual Medical Centre 

Asbestosis is a fibrotic disease of the lungs caused by chronic exposure and inhalation of asbestos fibres. Asbestos is mixture of chemicals that occurs naturally as a fibre substance and was widely used in the building industry for insulation, roofing and fireproofing. Asbestosis damages the connective tissue in the lungs, causing the lungs to become fibrous and stiff. Asbestos exposure can lead to other diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer." asbestosis, asbestos, asbestosis symptoms, mesothelioma, asbestos exposure, asbestos symptoms, what is asbestos, asbestos disease, lung disease, asbestos cancer, chrysotile asbestos, asbestos treatment, asbestos poisoning, asbestos diseases, asbestos types, asbestos information, causes, diagnosis, treatment, signs"
