Tinnitus is a condition in which the patient believes he or she has heard something even if no external noise has been made (because the ear perceives sound incorrectly). Tinnitus can be very disorienting and should therefore be treated as soon as possible. Courses of treatment may include drugs or hearing aids.
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. This part of the human body is located on the jaw. There is a TMJ on either side of the human face and the two work together. Pain or impairment of this joint can result in impaired chewing and speaking, so it must be treated as soon as possible.
Total joint replacement is a procedure by which surgeons replace damaged joints. The original joint may have been damaged by arthritis or deterioration. Joint replacements aim to optimize the patient’s comfort, mobility, and limb function and alleviate pain and discomfort.
Transplant surgery is a surgical specialty in which physicians replace a patient’s diseased or failing organs with healthy organs donated by a deceased patient (or, donated by patients who do not need them, as in the case of an extra kidney). Depending on the patient’s condition, transplants surgeries can be risky but ultimately life-saving.
Tumor pathology is a field of medicine in which specialized researchers (referred to as pathologists) must analyze the contents of a surgically removed tumor in order to understand its molecular makeup. They do this so that they can evaluate what form of cancer is in the patient’s body in order to advice the general physician on how best to eradicate or treat it.
Trauma is a medical term referring to any type of physical injury that is severe and body-altering. It can mean any number of different injuries, including amputation, blunt trauma, and psychological trauma. Trauma is usually intense and must be treated immediately to save patients’ lives.
Trauma nurses are responsible for providing emergency care to all patients who enter the hospital with a devastating/severe injury. They must monitor vital signs as well as pay attention to symptoms of distress in order to save the patients’ lives and avoid any painful or uncomfortable complications.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly lung disease caused by infectious airborne bacteria. TB is highly contagious and can be dangerous or even deadly, especially if it goes for a long time without being treated. Screening and early diagnosis are the best preventative tools that doctors have; therefore, they must be vigilant in monitoring signs and symptoms to save lives.
Tumors are abnormally large growths of cells that can form anywhere on or inside the human body. Even though the prevailing public opinion is that tumors are synonymous with cancer, this is not the case because many tumors can be benevolent or pre-cancerous instead of completely malignant.
Ultrasound is a diagnostic measure used in health care to diagnose and treat the patient. An ultrasound is a sophisticated radiology technology; it may be used to visualize tendons, muscles, joints, and unborn babies in a pregnant woman’s uterus. These techniques do not pose any real danger to the patients.
