Parent topics
- Emergency medicine [r]: Emergency medicine is both a specific medical specialty dealing with the proper care of patients with unexpected injuries or disease, but also the provision of entire systems for such care, beginning with minimal bystander assistance, through field medicine, emergency rooms and trauma centers, and movement to specialized facilities such as burn units and interventional neuroradiology [e]
- Infection [r]: Invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues, especially that causing local cellular injury due to competitive metabolism, toxins, intracellular replication or antigen–antibody response. [e]
- Surgery [r]: Field of medicine that focuses on operative treatments of the body. [e]
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- Clostridia [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Debridement [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Empirical antibiotic therapy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Thrombolysis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cellulitis [r]: Acute, diffuse, inflammation of loose connective tissue, particularly the deep subcutaneous tissues, and sometimes muscle, usually due to infection and associated with redness, pain, swelling and warmth to the touch [e]
- Compartment syndrome [r]: A condition which increased pressure within a limited space, usually an extremity compromises the blood circulation and function of tissue within that space. This can be caused by tight external constriction, trauma, extravasation of an intraosseous infusion, or extreme exertion [e]
- Deep venous thrombosis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Necrotizing fascitis [r]: A fulminating, rapidly progressive, extremely destructive bacterial infection of the deep layers of the skin and fascia, often associated with Streptococcus pyogenes [e]
- Staphylococcus [r]: Facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive pathogenic coccus capable of producing suppurative lesions, furunculosis, pyemia, osteomyelitis, food poisoning, and may be resistant to commonly used antibiotics. [e]
- Streptococcus [r]: Spherical Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium that grows in long chains and is the cause of Group A streptococcal infections, and fatal septicemias. [e]
- Tetanus [r]: Acute, often fatal disease characterized by spasmodic contraction of voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and jaw, and caused by the toxin of the bacillus Clostridium tetani. [e]
- Platelet [r]: Cell fragments circulating in the blood. [e]
- Otitis externa [r]: Inflammation of the outer ear canal. [e]
- Snake venom [r]: Highly modified toxic saliva containing hydrolithic enzymes, polypeptide complexs, nucleases, and peptidases, that is produced by special glands of certain species of snakes. [e]
