Joint diseases have been known to mankind since ancient times. Hippocrates first used a term such as “arthritis” and described its main symptoms. Today, more than 100 nosological forms of diseases are known that occur with damage to the articular apparatus of the human body, and these are both primary joint diseases and pathologies in which joint damage (secondary) is only one of many signs.
If we look at the statistics, then about 5-10% of the world's population suffer from some kind of articular pathology, which makes this group of diseases one of the most common. The great interest of medical workers in rheumatological pathology is also caused by the fact that these diseases often cause a person’s disability, self-care ability, disability and the need for outside care, which entails great social and economic costs for different countries of the world.
It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of what joint diseases exist. Since the classification of this group of diseases is significantly complicated. But according to the prevailing pathological mechanism for the development of joint damage, 5 main groups of articular pathology are distinguished:
- Degenerative joint diseases (arthrosis).
- Inflammatory lesions (arthritis).
- Traumatic injuries.
- Tumor diseases.
- Birth defects.
On this site you can find information about diseases such as:
Consider the most common diseases.
Degenerative diseases
At the heart of this group of joint diseases are degenerative and dystrophic processes in the tissues that take part in the formation of the joint. Most often it is intraarticular cartilage, ligaments, individual sections of bone to which ligamentous fibers are attached.
Deforming osteoarthrosis
This is a degenerative-dystrophic disease of joints and periarticular tissues, which is characterized by destruction of intraarticular cartilage, proliferation of marginal osteophytes, deformation, and in some cases ankylosis of the joint (overgrowth of coarse connective tissue).
The cause of the disease is excessive functional overload. cartilage against the background of a violation of her diet. The risk factors for osteoarthritis include:
- age;
- heavy physical labor;
- overweight;
- congenital or acquired diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
- injuries
- professional sports;
- genetic predisposition;
- unhealthy Lifestyle.
Most often affected large joints, which have a large load. It is hip, knee, ankle, ulnar and shoulder joint. Also, the small joints of the hands with the formation of the Bouchard and Heberden nodes are often pulled into the pathological process.
Nodes of Bushar and Heberden in osteoarthritis
The disease develops gradually. First, patients complain of pain in the area of \u200b\u200bthe damaged joint, which develops and intensifies after a working day. Then the joints begin to crackle, the pain syndrome progresses, from time to time signs of reactive synovitis may appear. The function of the joint gradually suffers - the limitation of its range of motion and deformation develops.
If treatment of osteoarthrosis is not started in time, then the function of the articular joint is completely lost and in order to return the patient the ability to move independently, one has to resort to surgical treatment.
.
Deforming osteoarthritis is the number one reason for such surgery as hip replacement and knee joint. Therefore, the prevention of diseases of the joints of a degenerative nature is very important.
Osteochondrosis and other degenerative changes in the joints of the spine
The spinal column consists of dozens of individual joints, which, like the rest, are subject to negative influences. It is unlikely that it will be possible to find at least one person who has never experienced back pain in his life. And the causes of these symptoms, as a rule, lie in degenerative changes in the spine - osteochondrosis, spondylarthrosis, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, protrusion and herniation of the intervertebral disc.
Back pain is the most common sign of degenerative changes in the spine.
Symptoms depend on which part of the spine is affected. Usually suffers most cervical spine due to its anatomical and physiological characteristics (the most mobile department, undergoes heavy loads). In second place is the lumbar, and the latter occupies the chest.
Osteochondrosis is a very insidious disease. Indeed, at first glance, minor problems with the back can cause chronic pain syndrome, paralysis and paresis of limbs, impaired cerebral circulation and stroke, increased blood pressure, impaired pelvic organs, fertility in women and erectile dysfunction in men.
Osgood-Schlatter Osteochondropathy
“Bump” under the knee of a child with Osgood-Schlatter osteochondropathy
This disease occurs mainly in children (most often it is 13-16 years old). More often sick boys who engage in active sports.
The essence of the pathology is as follows. During this age period, a growth spurt occurs in children. However, not all body structures manage to grow at a rapid pace. This also applies to the tuberosity of the tibia (the place to which the tendon of the quadriceps femoris is attached is localized on the front surface of the lower leg, slightly below the knee). Moreover, if there is constant microtraumatization of this anatomical structure (which happens during active physical exercises), then the body reacts to this with a kind of reaction. The tuberosity begins to grow with the formation of a painful bump under the knee, which is the main symptom of the disease.
The process can be single or double sided. As a rule, the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease in a child is not difficult. The treatment is mainly conservative with a mandatory protective regimen, exercise therapy and therapeutic nutrition for joint disease. Surgery is used in case of complications, for example, traumatic separation of bone fragments of tuberosity.
Inflammatory lesions
This is the largest group of joint lesions and is caused by various types of inflammation - infectious, autoimmune, allergic.
Infectious and Allergic Arthritis
Almost all pathological microorganisms can cause inflammation of the joint. Moreover, both directly penetrating into the joint cavity (open wounds, hematogenous and lymphogenous), and indirectly through immune mechanisms (infectious-allergic arthritis). Among the causative agents of the disease can be called:
Infectious (purulent) arthritis of the elbow joint
- bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci, gonococci, E. coli, brucella, mycobacteria, tubercle bacillus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc.);
- various viruses;
- fungi.
The characteristic signs of pathology are the acute onset of the disease, the defeat of one (rarely more) joint. It reddens, swells, a throbbing pain appears, the skin over the damaged area is hot to the touch, temporarily the joint loses its function. The general well-being of the patient suffers.
In the treatment of infectious arthritis, antibacterial therapy is the main focus. In some cases, a puncture of the joint cavity may be required to eliminate pus.
Rheumatoid arthritis
If joints begin to hurt after a sore throat or other catarrhal disease, then first of all you need to think about rheumatoid arthritis. This joint damage is a symptom of acute rheumatic fever or rheumatism.
Although the joints are primarily affected by this disease, the danger lies in heart damage. In medicine, there is an expression that very well reveals the concept of rheumatism: "Rheumatism licks the joints, but bites the heart."
You can suspect a disease by the following signs:
- defeat large joints (swelling, redness, pain);
- arthritis asymmetric;
- the pain is migratory in nature;
- arthralgia lasts up to 3 weeks;
- after the process subsides, no residual changes remain.
To establish a diagnosis of rheumatism at the stage of joint damage is very important. Indeed, only in this case can the development of heart damage be prevented, which is the number one cause of acquired defects and heart failure.
Rheumatoid arthritis
This is one of the most common diseases that affect the joints. At its core, it refers to systemic lesions of connective tissue, which occurs mainly in the form of chronic inflammation. Mostly women are ill.
The joints of the hands and feet are affected mainly. Arthritis is symmetrical, accompanied by pain and a feeling of stiffness in the joints. Over time, the muscles of the hand atrophy, persistent and typical deformities of the hands develop, which are called the “calling card” of rheumatoid arthritis.
Typical hand deformities in rheumatoid arthritis
Reiter's Disease
This is a combined lesion of the urethra, the mucous membrane of the eyes and joints, which occurs simultaneously or sequentially. The reason is the microorganisms of chlamydia, ureaplasmas and mycoplasmas. Reiter's disease develops only in carriers of the HLA gene - B27.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis, or ankylosing spondylitis, is a systemic lesion of connective tissue with a primary lesion of the joints of the spine. Mostly young men with a genetic tendency to this disease are affected.
The disease manifests itself with pain and limited mobility in the affected spine. As the pathology progresses, any movements in the spine become impossible due to its ossification, sometimes a person cannot turn his head to the side or bend at least a few centimeters. Typical disabling deformities develop - the “petitioner pose”, the effect of a bamboo stick on the spine.
Gout refers to metabolic diseases and is characterized by impaired metabolism of purine compounds with the formation of an excess of uric acid, salts of which are deposited in peripheral tissues, including the joint capsule, subcutaneous fat, kidneys, and gall bladder.
The result of this disease is urolithiasis and gallstone disease, the formation of subcutaneous nodules - tofus and the development of gouty arthritis.
The joint of the first toe is mainly affected. The inflamed joint becomes red, swollen, it even hurts to touch it, the patient cannot step on his sore leg. Over time, the inflammation subsides, but in the future, if treatment and a diet for joint disease are not prescribed, the attack repeats.
The defeat of the first toe with gout
Arthritis for systemic connective tissue diseases
Arthritis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and Sharp syndrome can be attributed to such joint damage. These are rare, but very serious diseases in which arthritis is only one of the many symptoms of an organ damage.
Injuries
Joint injuries are a common pathology, this group of diseases among professional athletes is especially relevant. Most often, doctors have to deal with intraarticular fractures, hemarthrosis, traumatic synovitis, damage to intraarticular cartilage, ligaments, menisci, joint capsule. The treatment of these lesions can be either conservative or surgical.
In concluding, it should be noted that there is still a lot of articular pathology, but the diseases described above are most often found. The main sign of joint damage is articular syndrome (edema, redness, pain, impaired function, local temperature increase), which should never be left without medical attention, because it can be a sign of a serious pathology of the body.
Today we will dedicate an article to the fifteen most common diseases in the world (according to the World Health Organization). Statistics claim that these diseases account for up to 60% of all deaths or serious complications, including disability. It's time to familiarize yourself, think and make the necessary amendments to your lifestyle in order to reduce risks!
1. Coronary heart disease
Ischemic heart disease takes the top line of this disappointing rating. This is the most common pathology of the cardiovascular system. According to statistics, 12.6% of deaths are due to this disease. In coronary artery disease, the heart muscle, the myocardium, is affected due to insufficient or stopped blood supply. The most susceptible to CHD age group is people from 50 to 65 years old, with men suffering more often than women. The cause of the onset of the disease is oxygen starvation of heart tissue due to a decrease in the intensity of coronary blood supply.
Risk factors: smoking and drinking; lipid metabolism disorders; hypertension sedentary lifestyle; overweight and obesity; diabetes. Prevent the development of the disease will help a healthy lifestyle, physical activity, maintaining normal body weight, proper nutrition, monitoring blood pressure.
2. Cerebrovascular disease
It is characterized by insufficient blood supply to the brain tissue. The basis of the lesion is atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels, in more rare cases, vascular inflammation. The worst developments are stroke, in 50% of cases fatal. The most exposed age group: people over 50 years old, as well as patients with arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Risk factors: smoking, alcohol, congenital and acquired abnormalities of blood vessels; tumor formations in brain tissues; heart rhythm disturbances; skull injuries; blood diseases amyloid angiopathy; hormonal changes or disorders, such as pregnancy or diabetes; stress.
3. Lower respiratory tract infections
The following ones are most often fatal: complications of chronic bronchitis; pneumonia, or pneumonia; lung abscess as well as empyema of pleura. The causative agents of inflammation are most often bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia, or pneumococci, as well as microorganisms such as chlamydia, mycoplasma and staphylococcus.
Risk factors: weakened immunity, smoking, narcotic substances, chronic pathologies of the respiratory organs, malnutrition, stress, pyelonephritis, heart failure, distant foci of infection in the body; bronchial disease; sepsis, old or old age.
4. AIDS
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome - This is the stage of HIV development, in which secondary pathologies appear, caused by a weakened immune system: from infections to tumor lesions, leading to death. The causative agent is transmitted through blood, biological fluids, as well as through breast milk.
Risk factors - unprotected sex (80% of all infections); use of a single syringe for injection; transfusion of infected blood; transmission of the virus from a sick mother to a child; use of a non-sterile instrument, for example, in dentistry, tattoos or body piercings.
In the presence of risk factors, a regular preventive check is necessary, because the symptoms are detected many years after infection.
5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
COPD - A serious, long-term progressive disease characterized by the development of pneumonia due to narrowing of the lumen of the airways. Effects: disability, limitation of a person’s physical capabilities, and often fatal outcome.
Risk factors: age over 40, smoking (90% of patients with COPD), chronic respiratory diseases; worked in hazardous production, living in environmentally disadvantaged places.
6. Diarrheal diseases
Each year, more than two billion people get diarrhea. It is this diagnosis that accounts for 3.2% of the total number of deaths and is a common cause of mortality in childhood. Death occurs as a result of severe dehydration.
Risk factors: taking antibiotics; radiation therapy; food toxins; disorders in the functioning of the pancreas; violation of the production of enzymes; getting into the digestive system of pathogenic microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Giardia, rotaviruses, dysentery pathogen and others).
Diarrheal Disease Prevention - the use of clean and high-quality food and water, timely treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and low acidity.
7. Tuberculosis
2.7% of deaths on the planet, according to statistics. Almost half of those infected die. Consequences: liver problems, internal bleeding, dysbiosis and diarrhea, infertility and the inability to give birth to a healthy baby.
Risk groups: people diagnosed with tuberculosis; persons in contact with a sick person; patients with diabetes and AIDS; smokers, drug addicts and alcohol abusers; medical staff. Good nutrition, hygiene and immunity care help reduce the likelihood of tuberculosis.
8. Malaria
2.2% of deaths (most often in Africa and Asia). Risk factors: Visiting countries where there is an increased risk of infection.
9 Cancer of the lungs, trachea and bronchi
Risk factors: people over 45 years old, smoking (80% of cases), including passive, regular contact with asbestos or radon gas, chronic lung diseases.
10. Traffic accidents
The trouble of our time. Worldwide, car crashes kill more than a million people every year. Consequences: disability and death.
Risk factors: driving while intoxicated; ignorance and non-compliance with traffic rules; technical malfunction of vehicles; inattention of drivers; road condition.
11. Diseases of childhood
The most common and most dangerous for the child’s health: salmonellosis (intestinal infection), Botkin’s disease (hepatitis A), staphylococcal disease, mumps, polio, or Heine-Medina disease, whooping cough, scarlet fever
Risk factors: childhood, dirty hands, infected people nearby, insufficient heat treatment of food, poor hygiene and many others - depending on the type of disease.
12. Accidents
Risk factors: weather conditions (for example, sunburn, frostbite, thermal fainting, an accident on a slippery road), non-observance of industrial safety, the human factor when people are not aware of the dangers of risk or behavior, poisoning by poisonous plants or substances, and many others.
13. Hypertension
Hypertension refers to cardiac pathologies and is characterized by an increase in blood pressure. Often becomes the impetus for the occurrence of atherosclerosis and is assessed as one of the common causes of early mortality among the working population.
Risk factors: age over 40 years (the same for men and women), stress and frequent emotional stress; excessive intake of salt in the body, leading to fluid retention and increased pressure; hypertension in relatives (heredity), diabetes mellitus; obesity and overweight; endocrine diseases (in particular hyperthyroidism), chronic infectious diseases.
14. Suicide
It causes two deaths on the planet every minute. Every year, more than a million people go to the other world, committing suicide. What is pushing people to take such a step? There is statistics according to which the most common cause of suicide is mental disorders, in particular, depressive states. It was found that more than half of suicides before passing away suffered from depression. A quarter of suicides are related to alcoholism and drug use.
Risk group: recently retired people; disabled people; people experiencing extreme stress; prisoners; soldiers lonely people; teenagers. Statistics indicate that women commit suicide more often than men, and the latter, in turn, more often than women bring suicide to the end.
15. Cancer of the stomach
This tumor makes up all oncological diseases and takes the second place after lung cancer in prevalence.
Risk factors: age over 50 years (men more often than women), smoking; eating spicy, fried, salty, smoked and nitrate-rich foods; improper diet, hasty snacks, fast food; chronic diseases of the stomach, for example, ulcers, gastritis; pernicious anemia; environmental reasons: high content in air, water and food of molybdenum, zinc, nickel, asbestos dust; disturbances in the immune system; alcohol abuse; genetic predisposition.
Think about your health today:
Eat the right food, often walk in the fresh air, get rid of bad habits and be careful on the road!
The most important component of our life is, of course, health. It must be protected with all its might. Today, medicine can cure many diseases. But there are also such diseases that put in the way doctors from all over the world. This article will discuss the rarest diseases.
Natalie Adler, who lives in Melbourne, suffers from a very unusual disease. She loses sight every three days and is unable to open her eyes. This ailment in the girl appeared after a sinus infection. Now she needs to plan all her affairs for three days, in which she can see normally. The doctor, who has observed Natalie, says that for the first time in his life he has encountered such frequent muscle spasms.
On the territory of Kazan lives a man who is called "silver". His name is Valery Vershinin. After the treatment of the most common cold, the man’s appearance changed beyond recognition. And the thing is that Valery was treated with drops that contained silver. The skin of a man has a silver-blue tint. Changes have occurred with his hair: now he has blond hair. Although the appearance has changed a lot, this unique case has brought only benefit. The most unusual changes have occurred with health: now it is simply “heroic”. For 30 years, a man only three times had the flu.
The following disease appeared relatively recently. The fact is that before there were absolutely no reasons for its development. This disease is an allergy. But not ordinary, but an allergy to electromagnetic fields. Increasingly, there are people who complain of a deterioration in well-being, mainly a severe headache, when using electrical appliances. Debbie Bird, a young girl suffering from this disease. An allergy forced her to change her place of residence. Now she lives in a remote area where there is absolutely no electricity.
The most common disease. It can easily be assumed that this is a runny nose. Perhaps it is not entirely correct to call this a disease, since it can occur both from an infection and from an allergic reaction. It can be said that this is a certain symptom of various diseases. But this does not negate the fact that each person experienced its consequences. It is worth noting that 25% of the world's population suffer from allergic rhinitis.
The worst diseases
Smallpox. At the moment, this disease is not only rare, but also terrible. She is able to disfigure a person’s appearance beyond recognition. There were times when smallpox claimed a huge number of human lives. Smallpox was considered an incurable disease. Only a few managed to survive, and even they practically lost their sight, and the body was completely covered with scars from ulcers. To date, smallpox is not scary due to timely vaccination. In 1977, the last case of smallpox was recorded. Only a few laboratories still have strains of this disease.
Leprosy. The scientific name is leprosy. This disease provokes a bacterium that destroys the mucous membrane, peripheral nerves, as well as the skin. A sick person in the literal sense rots alive, and is becoming less and less like a person. This disease is terrible in that the incubation period can reach five years. If you seek help in time, then the disease can be stopped.
First place among infectious diseases occupy problems with the oral cavity: periodontitis, gum disease, and also gingivitis. A huge number of people suffer from various types of allergies, problems with pressure, heart, diabetes and rheumatism. Caries is also a common disease.
In different countries, “their” diseases predominate. In Turkey and Ireland, many suffer from a hangover; in China, 43% of the population suffers from insomnia. But South Koreans complain about problems with the digestive system. In our countries, most often complain of back pain, colds and headaches.
The rarest disease in the world. Only 80 patients were recorded. This disease is called progeria and is expressed in rapid aging. Progeria is a genetic disease. The worst thing is that there is no cure for it. Those born with this ailment end their lives by 13-18 years. A person suffering from this disease is characterized by a lack of hair, a small stature and a very characteristic appearance: a nose that resembles the shape of a beak and a completely invisible chin. The most striking feature is the skin, which is more characteristic of older people than children: age spots and wrinkles. Progeria is dangerous in that the heart and blood vessels quickly age. One case was recorded: all five children born in the same family suffer from this ailment. Doctors are doing everything possible to at least help something: they are treated with hormones and anticancer drugs. But unfortunately, this has not brought tangible results yet.
DISEASES
THE RAREEST DISEASE
The rarest disease in the world is smallpox. In May 1978, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that it had not registered a single case in the world over the previous six months. The last death occurred in August 1978, when a medical photographer at the University of Birmingham, UK, became infected by a prototype.
THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE OF DEATH
In industrialized countries, heart and blood vessel diseases (cardiovascular diseases) account for more than 50% of deaths. Most often these are attacks of angina pectoris and heart attacks, the cause of which is in most cases atheroma (degeneration of the arterial wall), leading to a narrowing of the bloodstream. Of the 53.9 million deaths in 1998, 16.71 million, or 31%, occurred due to cardiovascular disease.
THE MOST FREQUENT REASON FOR SUDDEN DEATH
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of sudden death. Smoking, high blood pressure and high levels of dietary cholesterol are the most common risk factors for this disease.
DISEASE FASTER THAN EVERYTHING EATING BODY
The media called this disease in 1994 "fire devouring the body." This rare and deadly disease is necrotizing fasciitis. It was discovered during the First World War. The bacterium first attacks the subcutaneous layer of tissue, causing gangrene in it, from which there is only one salvation: surgical removal of the infected area of \u200b\u200bthe body. The mortality rate in patients is approximately 15%, but in combination with streptococcal toxic syndrome and shock - severe pain and fever - it exceeds 70%.
DISEASES GIVING THE MOST FREQUENT FLASHES
According to the WHO report on infectious diseases dated April 15, 1999, for the period 1998-1999. 45 outbreaks of cholera occurred. The second most common was a potentially dangerous meningococcal spinal cord infection with 29 recorded outbreaks.
THE MOST DANGEROUS HUMAN DISEASE
Avian influenza, a type of influenza that used to infect birds only, infected 16 people in Hong Kong, China, and in 1997 4 people died from the virus. This is the first virus directly transmitted from birds to humans.
MOST INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and its more severe variant, Dengue hemorrhagic fever, are possibly the most common recurrent diseases. In 1998, there were 1.2 million cases of Dengue disease, more than 15,000 were fatal.
MOST COMMON INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Periodontal diseases such as gingivitis (inflammation of the jaw) are the most common non-communicable diseases in the world. Few people escaped dental disease, but the 1981 level — 93% among English schoolchildren — fell to 55% in 1992. It is known that up to a third of adult Americans suffer from these diseases.
LONGEST Sneeze
Donna Griffith (UK) began sneezing on January 13, 1981 at the age of 12, and sneezed about 1 million times in the next 978 days. The first day without sneezing was September 16, 1983.
WORK Bringing THE BIGGEST HARM
The most famous typhoid carrier Mary Mellon (real name
Maria Anna Kaduff), "typhoid Mary", was born in Switzerland in 1855 and emigrated to the United States in 1868. She worked as a cook and at the same time became the source of 53 outbreaks of typhoid, including the 1903 epidemic, during which 1400 cases of the disease were observed , of which 3 are fatal, in Ithaca, New York, USA. She was placed under constant surveillance at Riverside Hospital on North Bravers Island, East River, New York, USA, where she stayed from 1915 until her death from bronchopneumonia on November 11, 1938.
HIGHEST MORTALITY
The three diseases most often fatal: AIDS, cerebral form of rabies, and plague. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a contagious infectious disease that involves completely suppressing the immune system and is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV attacks and destroys the immune system, leaving a person vulnerable to other infections that are fatal. AIDS is the latest stage of HIV infection.
Rabies is a viral infection that affects the central nervous system, usually transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. Most cases of rabies occur in wild animals: raccoons, bats and foxes. Early symptoms in humans: fever, headache, weakness, then hallucinations, insomnia, anxiety, excessive salivation and hydrophobia (hydrophobia) occur. Death may occur a few days after the onset of symptoms, but if treatment is started immediately, the chances of survival are very high.
The most terrible epidemic in history, the Black Death, has led to the death of about a third of the world's population. In 1347-1351 the pulmonary (bacterial) form of the plague spread throughout Asia, North Africa and Europe, through the English Channel into England and Scotland, and from there penetrated into Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. All patients with this form died - a total of 75 million people.
YOU UNDER SKIN
Although plague and cholera are already mentioned in the Old Testament, the most ancient human disease is considered leprosy (pictured). Cases of leprosy are described in Ancient Egypt as early as 1350 BC. e. WHO characterizes this disease as "a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprosy." It damages mainly the skin, peripheral nervous system, mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
Schistosomiasis tuberculosis is an infectious lung disease found in Egyptian mummies of the twentieth dynasty (1250-1000 BC). To uncover the secrets of ancient diseases, sophisticated methods such as DNA extraction are used today. The first correct “diagnosis” was made to the skeleton of the Byzantine era found in Turkey. He had tuberculous injuries.
Ministry of Health warns
The most pressing health problems in the world are smoking problems. According to WHO estimates, 2020 diseases related to tobacco smoking, including heart disease, cancer, lung and respiratory diseases will be the main killers in the world, and will lead to more deaths than AIDS, tuberculosis,
traffic accidents and suicides combined - about 7 million people a year. The populations of developing countries are at even greater risk: 85% of all smokers live in poor countries. The health costs associated with these diseases are $ 200 billion per year worldwide.
Nasty and Dangerous
The last open human infection is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, leading to dementia (dementia). It is most likely caused by prions (infectious agents of a protein nature) transmitted from livestock suffering from bovine spongiform encephalitis.
In 1999, WHO recognized that the newest virus was the virus from Southeast Asia, Nipah.
Hendra-like paramyxovirus clinically manifests itself like Japanese encephalitis, but is most likely not transmitted by mosquitoes, except in cases of direct contact with the tissue fluids of infected animals. This is a disease of pig farms, it caused numerous deaths of people and pigs in Malaysia. The first human infection with the Nipah virus occurred in September 1998.
List of Common Diseases
There are no people in this world who have never fallen victim to the disease. In this article you will find a list of common diseases that were the main cause of mortality and other health complications that affect the human body. There are certain times a month or six months that we suddenly feel weak and problematic. We are tired for no apparent reason, and we become exhausted by simply doing simple daily activities such as talking and eating. I think you should have already guessed that something was wrong with the body, and you are suffering from an illness. Well, there are more than a million types of diseases and disorders in this world, and it becomes difficult to understand what is with us until we meet our doctor. In this article, we make a list of common diseases that affect humanity, because often we do not care to collect information about the disease we suffer. I'm not saying that this is extremely important, it's just that when you have the knowledge that you communicate with him it will be easy to deal with it.
List of the most common diseases
When you think about diseases that affect people, you would obviously include infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, rare skin diseases, etc. As I said before, it is very necessary to have basic knowledge about the most common diseases that affect our generation, so that we can take some preventive measures to avoid them.
Cholera kills more than 1 million people every year. It is distributed mainly through clean drinking water and unsanitary hygiene conditions. It is the leading cause of death in Russia, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. This is caused by the Vibrio cholera virus, which is the main cause of infection of the intestinal tract. People suffering from cholera develop symptoms such as vomiting in the stomach and cramps in their legs. In severe cases, cholera can also lead to death due to dehydration.
Pneumonia
If you've ever thought about creating a list of infectious diseases, the name pneumonia definitely comes in the first five places. A lung infection is called pneumonia. This feeling is pneumonia caused by a viral infection. Blood tests or chest x-rays are two ideal ways, knowing that a person is suffering from pneumonia. In some cases, even a severe cold or dry cough also causes pneumonia.
Pharyngitis
Another common disease that affects people in large numbers is pharyngitis. Streptococcus bacteria is a bacterium that causes sore throat. More than 3 million cases of acute pharyngitis are reported to be in the United States alone. Symptoms include pain, fatigue, nausea, headache, and fever.
One of the most dangerous diseases caused by smoking is cancer. More than 9 million people are affected each year, cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States. Smokers have a higher risk of getting cancer. Tobacco present in cigarettes causes cancer of the lungs, mouth and throat. Smoking can also lead to the development of many types of cancer, such as throat cancer and lung cancer.
Nowadays, we don’t hear the name Corey a lot, probably because it has been eliminated in most countries where the vaccine is. However, it is still very common in some developing countries where, if not treated, it leads to death. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, skin rash, and in the worst case, diarrhea.
AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is one of the most dangerous sexually transmitted diseases. This makes the immune system weak so that it cannot fight infections. Identified in the 1980s, AIDS has already killed over 25 million people. It is caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which causes various infections in the body, and ultimately leads to death.
Tuberculosis
Considered one of the worst infectious diseases in the world, tuberculosis causes nearly 2 million deaths annually. Tuberculosis bacteria are found in the lungs, which cause pain in the lungs, chest, and bloody mucus. According to recent WHO reports, more than a billion people will be affected by tuberculosis between 2000 and 2020.

As blood moves to all parts of the body, a blood disease is enough to cause problems throughout the body.
Bacteremia
Sepsis
Anemia
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Tela
Staph infection
Hepatitis B
Thalassemia
A few more diseases that are becoming more common nowadays are yellow fever, chlamydia, hepatitis, diabetes, etc. All this is the main reason for the decrease in the human population. Therefore, it is very necessary that we take effective care, including a balanced diet and after a training regimen.
