A shoulder injury can be caused by trauma or repetitive strain; therefore, people who have been in motor vehicle accidents or sports players can both suffer from this condition. It can be treated with palliative medications or surgical procedures.
Silicone implants are prostheses used to increase the size of a woman’s breasts. They serve no medical purpose – in fact, they can be rather dangerous, especially if they explode while in the patient’s chest – and are purely aesthetic. Breast enhancement is the number one plastic surgery procedure performed in the United States today.
Sinus surgery is a procedure in which surgeons operate on the patient’s nose and sinuses. They do this to treat sinusitis (a chronic condition characterized by inflamed sinuses). Surgeons may also perform nasal endoscopies to create a visual image of this area of the patient’s body in order to diagnose sinusitis.
Sjogren’s Syndrome is a condition characterized by autoimmune abnormalities; specifically, the patient’s immune system attack the body’s own exocrine gland. Since the exocrine gland produces tears and saliva, these processes will be impaired or eliminated as a result of Sjogren’s Syndrome.
A skin allergy is a rash or reaction that develops as a result of the patient being exposed to an irritating toxin or chemical. Skin allergy testing can be conducted to diagnose a patient with allergies; it is typically performed by a doctor who provokes a small, contained reaction in order to understand what irritates the patient’s skin.
Skin cancer occurs when malignant growths spread across the patient’s skin. There are three common types of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Since skin cancer occurs on the surface of the skin (especially if it is melanoma, which is caused by overexposure to the sun’s damaging rays), it is easy to see so it can usually be diagnosed and treated immediately.
Skin cancer occurs when malignant growths spread across the patient’s skin. Since it occurs on the surface of the skin, it is easy to see; therefore, doctors should be able to diagnose and treat it immediately. Skin cancer can be treated with topical creams, medications, and/or surgery, depending on the extent and severity of the growth.
Skin grafting is a type of surgery in which physicians remove skin from one (healthy) area of the body and replace it on another part of the body (a damaged/unhealthy part). This type of procedure is typically used to repair the skin after extensive burns or wounding. It can be a complicated procedure but is not necessarily risky.
Sleep medicine is a branch of healing in which physicians study, diagnose, and treat sleep disturbances and disorders. This is an emerging field where psychologists and sleep researchers can be employed to help patients get a full night’s rest. Since so many Americans suffer from insomnia or disturbed sleep, this specialty is always expanding.
Snoring occurs when the patient is asleep and his/her breathing is momentarily interrupted, causing a noisy disruption. Sleep apnea is a more serious condition characterized by longer periods of disrupted breathing. Both of these conditions can be treated with oral appliances that keep the mouth partially open so the airway can stay open while the patient sleeps.
