Sometimes an easier way to diagnose osteoporosis is to simply look at an X-ray scan and try to find typical osteoperiodic fractures, a femur, hip boneor lumbar vertebrae. For example, a compression fracture of the lumbar vertebrae. But in osteoporotic patients, fractures that look similar to normal fractures can also happen.But this time with minimal trauma while running. And there are also reports that fractures can happen when sneezing and coughing. Can you recall in which bones,
typical osteoporotic fractures happen?

So for example, this which you can see here is a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid.

It is prone to ulcers, bleeding and progression and that might be an indication to treat it surgically. Non-prolapsing internal hemorrhoids might cause bleeding and also anemia through this bleeding and therefore that might also be an indication to treat them surgically.

Adhering to the recommendations by the relevant medical societies can not only help us cure hemorrhoids but it can also reduce frustration that patients feel and experience when suffering from hemorrhoids.

So, this is what patients usually get wrong, internal hemorrhoids are actually normal anatomical structures that became swollen. The external hemorrhoids are not hemorrhoids at all, those are perianal vessels that became thrombosed. Luckily not all of us experience hemorrhoids that are swollen or thrombosed perianal vessels, but two out of three individuals of general population actually do have this disease.

A weakening of the aortic wall must not always cause a tear right away, but instead it can cause aorta to become dilated.
And this dilated aorta can then rupture or cause a dissection in the aortic wall.
Try to recall how the aortic wall can rupture.

Aortic dissection must not always cause chest pain and back pain acutely and suddenly.
Sometimes it can go on for months and possibly even years.
In Stanford, type A aortic dissection, there is dissection present in the ascending and the descending part or only the ascending part of the aorta.
In this type of aortic dissection, about half of the patients die within three days.
However, in Stanford’s Type B aortic dissection, there is a dissection present in the descending part of the aorta only, and in this case, only about 10% of the patients die within a month.
Can you recall two types of aortic dissection?
