Internet Ambulance Medical portal. Neurology Composition of the Neurology Department

HELP ME PLEASE! Vyacheslav. I am 31 years old. I want to ask:
1)Help. Council.
2) Get a consultation.
3) Or maybe you can suggest a clear plan of action in my situation.
Brief description of medical history and symptoms:
At the age of 19, I fell ill in the following way: while at the dacha (digging potatoes), I felt unwell all day. But it was necessary to work. And in the evening the following happened: while digging I felt that I was “turning off”, trembling in my body, weakness. Sat down.
I had a headache, a feeling that the blood in my head was “stopping,” a fever rose, and weakness increased. After returning home and resting
my health did not improve; on the contrary, my temperature reached 37.8 degrees.
The next day I went to the Central District Hospital (stanitsa). Hospitalized with a diagnosis of VSD. General analyzes with minor deviations. The state of health worsened, and cramps appeared in the spine and legs. Derealization. I went to the region in Tsen. Cons. Polycl. Hypatolomic syndrome was added to the diagnosis. Later, a consequence of neuroinfection, diencephalic syndrome, was added. So at that moment:
Diagnosis: Consequences of neuroinfection. Diencephalic syndrome with frequent hypothalmic crises. VSD. (At the same time, the diagnosis of the consequences of neuroinfection was made 5 months later in another city at a face-to-face consultation) And five months later they began to treat because before that, our local village doctors claimed that VSD is, in principle, normal (even with my symptoms) and recommended taking vitamins. In the region, in principle, too.
Treatment: chloracon, vinpocetine, benzonal, vitamins, lidase. The treatment made it a little easier, but not significantly. Later they assigned: chloracon long-term, vinpocetine long-term. Then chloracon was replaced with phenazepam for a long time.
So I accepted:
1. phenazepam 1\ 4 t. 1-2 r. in a day
2. Vinpocetine 1t. 2 rub. in a day
3. Multivit 3 times a year in courses of 2 months
After about six months, the condition stabilized and even got better. The symptoms that persisted were the temperature (now unchanged daily) 37.2 degrees. -37.3 degrees. , weakness, pale pink stretch marks appeared on the shoulders and hips (Itsenko Cushing’s was not confirmed, we carried out all the studies). However, if I didn’t take Lekva for at least two days, it got worse. If I didn’t take vinpocetine, my head would hurt (tighten). If I did not take phenazepam, tension, anxiety, cramps appeared in the arms and legs, vegetative-vascular dystonia.
9 years have passed. During this time I gained 40 kg. with a height of 170 cm (the weight was 80 kg - now 120 kg).
I took medication, adapted to my illness, fought against weakness, and led an active lifestyle. I graduated, I work (as a computer and systems engineer), I got married.

The deterioration began like a bolt from the blue. Or maybe this is a new disease.
Before this, some kind of wild brain fatigue appeared (as if the brain was exhausted to the limit). Rest did not bring tangible relief. I began to have a headache (pain from overwork) and increased weakness.

On 11/15/07 I was walking to work with my colleagues, and a little while before work I felt increasing weakness, dizziness, and almost fell. The next day, severe general weakness (I can’t stand for more than 10 minutes) appeared in the afternoon, I started feeling dizzy, and had a “flu-allergic” state.
I contacted the Central District Hospital. The local therapist gave a referral to the region in Tsen. Cons. Polycl. to an endocrinologist and neurologist.

Hypothalomic crises. Feeling of intoxication. I am very worried psychologically.
I hope very much for your help.
I will show you what tests are needed.

In its current understanding, neurology is a medical branch in which diseases of the nervous system (central and peripheral) are described and studied. Diagnosis of neurological diseases is difficult even for a highly qualified specialist. But thanks to the use of the latest medical technology, the possibilities for finding a reliable diagnosis are expanding. The modern center, which deals with neurology, has the latest equipment. They provide truthful information about diseases of the spinal cord and brain, congenital pathologies of the spinal column, etc. Based on the acquired information, he makes a conclusion about the patient’s basic condition and the necessary treatment methods. People with various neurological symptoms come to such medical centers.

The limited scope that describes modern practical medicine makes it difficult to both understand and diagnose most diseases. Doctors often limit themselves to their own area, losing communication with other possible conditions. In addition to diagnostic errors, this also leads to treatment errors.

The complete list of diseases is not based on the nervous system, as the popular saying goes, “all diseases come from the nerves,” however, during the development of diseases, the nervous system is involved, which can change or delay the picture of morbidity. Therefore, before doctors make a diagnosis, they first refer sick people to a neurologist for consultation.

History of neurology

Even before our era, the first sources on diseases of the nervous system were found. This was approximately 3 thousand years BC. Sensory disturbances and paralysis were found in patients. The ancient book of India, Ayur-Veda, noted fainting, seizures and headaches. The chronicles of Razi, Hippocrates and Ibn Sina present clinical descriptions of various neurological diseases, methods, as well as diagnostics of their treatment. Already at that time, the human condition was characterized as a brain disease, including migraine and epilepsy.

The rapid development of neurology as a science is associated with the rapid emergence of methods for analyzing the nervous system. T. Willisius and D. M. Morgagni in the Middle Ages were able to provide information that some neurological disorders were directly related to the structure of the brain. The main contribution to the development of such a doctrine of the morphological nature of the nervous system was based on the following names: Jacob Silvius, Adreus Vesalius, Constanzo Varolius. Descartes talked about the reflex and created a definition for it. These were the main principles of neurophysiology.

Causes of neurological diseases and their symptoms

Neurological diseases have various causes when they occur. An important component is heredity. Most neurological diseases primarily depend on systemic diseases of the internal organs. The presence of toxins, improper administration, and abuse of medications also cause neurological diseases. Metastatic cancer cells also provoke paraneoplastic and disease-related syndromes.

It is often difficult to identify neurological diseases as a result of the fact that their etiology is still unclear. In such diseases, visible damage to the atoms can be seen, but its source is difficult to determine. After all, it looks more like a condition than a disease. When diagnosing a neurological disease, the main thing is to choose the right research method, because treatment depends on it.

The emerging diseases are similar in manifestations and symptoms. The neurological type of the disease can be determined by the signs that appear in the patient:

The appearance of even one of these signs indicates that the person should be examined by a neurologist.

But it often happens that such symptoms are signs of other diseases of systems and organs. This is precisely what explains the strong connection between neurology and human anatomy.

Diagnosis and treatment

A diagnosis can only be made after a thorough examination, which includes several measures, and only your treating neurologist determines their necessity. These include:

The modern approach to the treatment of neurological diseases is due to the developed pharmacological industry and improved surgical equipment. In addition, the latest immunomodulatory drugs, stem cells, minimally invasive neurosurgery and stereotactic radiosurgery are used to treat pathologies.

Prevention of neurological diseases

If the central nervous system is healthy, then other organs are functioning properly. When the slightest malfunction occurs in the body, various complications and diseases arise. Because the treatment of neurological diseases is a very long and complex process, it is more important to keep it healthy than to treat it. To do this, professionals advise using basic recommendations that will help every person maintain their health.

The main factor for a healthy central nervous system in the human body is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This definition includes:

• maintaining the correct regimen;
• healthy eating;
• long walks in the fresh air;
• good physical activity;
• giving up bad habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol.

As a result of the fact that neurological diseases are complications of infectious diseases, it is necessary to use preventive methods that prevent such symptoms. Timely vaccination is one of the methods for the prevention of infectious diseases.

Neurological diseases

Neurological diseases are pathological changes that occur in one area of ​​the nervous system and are classified as chronic diseases.

They are divided into two types:

• Extrapyramidal;
• Pyramid.

The extrapyramidal system is responsible for muscle tension, involuntary movements, posture and balance.

The pyramidal system - relates to the coordination of movements, reduces muscle reflexes and their tone. Sometimes neurological diseases can affect the external functions of the brain, affect memory, and lead to speech and perception disorders.

In medical practice, the most common neurological pathologies are:

More about neurology

– Yan Evgenievich, what caused the creation of the Pain Treatment Clinic? What are its features?

– Multidisciplinary clinic "Health 365" has been operating in Yekaterinburg since 2008. Today it consists of five divisions in different areas of the city, including our Pain Treatment Clinic. This is a complex that brings together expert doctors with special training in the field of pain treatment. We use special techniques, laboratory methods and equipment, our activities are regulated by general rules and approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pain, and internal management.

There are many manifestations of pain, and its effective treatment requires a systematic multidisciplinary approach. Chronic pain is dangerous because the longer it exists, the more difficult it is to treat; over time, it leads to the development of very complex structural changes in the central nervous system.

Often, patients turn to specialized specialists to get rid of pain, and they begin to walk in circles: from a therapist to a neurologist, from him to a surgeon, then to a neurosurgeon, a psychologist, and again to a therapist. A multisystem approach disproportionately increases cure and remission rates for various diseases

Our clinic is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of syndromes such as headaches and back pain, pain in the limbs, joints, as well as in the coccyx, sacrum and pelvis - a total of five basic areas. Our Clinic staff includes neurologists, therapists, neurosurgeons, ultrasound doctors, chiropractors, and massage specialists. Including three candidates of medical sciences, which once again confirms the level of qualifications of the staff.

– How is pain treated in your clinic? What innovative techniques and equipment are used?

– It all starts with an appointment with a doctor, who provides assistance in relieving acute symptoms of pain and recommends to the patient diagnostic tests, laboratory and instrumental, necessary for an accurate diagnosis of the cause of pain. After which complex treatment is prescribed - from the use of drug therapy and physiotherapy to invasive treatment - various blockades under ultrasound control, neurosurgical operations. Chronic pain disorder is often accompanied by anxiety and depressive disorders, so psychotherapy and psychopharmacotherapy may be included in the structure of our care.

Treatment also includes various non-drug methods. For common causes of pain (consequences of sports injuries, diseases of the musculoskeletal system), an innovative method such as kinesio taping is used. In accordance with certain anatomical rules, dense adhesive tapes are placed on the patient’s skin, which support the skin, fiber, muscles, relieve certain areas of the body, improve blood supply and lymphatic drainage, thereby significantly reducing pain. Another innovative method is plasma lifting. Plasma, which is obtained in concentrated form from the patient’s own blood, is separated from the blood, enriched with platelets and biologically active substances and injected, for example, into the tissue around a diseased joint. This plasma has good restorative and anti-inflammatory properties. In our clinic, both traditional devices, such as magnetic therapy devices, magnetic laser, ultrasound, amplipulse, and innovative equipment are actively used for physical procedures. For example, the Sympatocor-1 device is used to relieve migraine attacks and preventive treatment of headaches. It successfully and permanently relieves a person from repeated attacks of pain, subsequently reducing their frequency and intensity.

– What kind of pain do patients come to you with most often?

– Headaches and back pain are more common, closely followed by joint pain. If necessary, we use MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to accurately diagnose the causes of such pain. An accurate and timely diagnosis means a lot for prescribing the correct treatment and saves the patient from going through agony. Our diagnostic complex, in addition to MRI, includes various types of ultrasound. The clinic, the only one in the city, performs ultrasound of peripheral nerves. This is very important when diagnosing compression of nerves, the so-called “tunnel syndromes”, for example, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, it allows you to see the localization and cause of compression of the nerve trunk. We carry out expert ultrasound diagnostics of the condition of the vessels of the head and neck. Very often, such a study makes it possible to verify the causes of headaches, such as impaired venous outflow, vertebrogenic compression of the vertebral arteries, muscle tension, and dysregulation of vascular tone. This provides a point of support for the general practitioner and neurologist. They gain a lever with which to solve a situation of severe, recurring pain, from which the patient sometimes despairs of finding relief and resigns himself. As a result of accurate diagnosis, we find this cause, which often responds well to treatment.

– What age patients predominate in your clinic?

– Pain in the cities is getting younger: a person sits at the computer all week without straightening up, and on the weekend he abruptly switches to classes in the gym or on the ski slope. And then he goes to our clinic complaining of back pain. With age, the incidence of diseases of the musculoskeletal system increases, including spinal osteochondrosis, deforming osteoarthritis, and damage to muscles and ligaments. Simple general tips to prevent the development of such diseases: try to lead a healthy lifestyle and promptly seek advice from specialists. Regarding the type and intensity of necessary physical activity. Of course, movement is life, but it is very important that it does not cause pain, but joy. Patients often come to us with complaints of pain in the extremities, in particular in the wrists and wrist joints, where the nerves lie closely together with the tendons. Inflammation occurs due to stress from prolonged routine work, for example, when working with a wrench, driving for a long time in a chair and steering wheel that is not adjusted in height and depth, when playing the piano, or working at an inconveniently located computer keyboard.
Such pain can often make a person disabled. In this case, it is necessary to carry out a therapeutic and diagnostic blockade, treat the nerve directly, administer drugs that block pain, relieve inflammation and swelling, prevent further destruction of the nerve, and in some cases, perform neurosurgical intervention on the nerve. When performing pain blockades, our clinic uses high-tech methods: under the control of an ultrasound sensor (this is called ultrasound navigation) or an X-ray image in real time, a needle is brought exactly to the affected area, through which the necessary medicine is administered. The possibilities of such visualization during blockades practically eliminate the possibility of accidental damage to nerves and surrounding tissues and blood vessels and ensure increased safety of the procedure. Thanks to the pinpoint precision of administration, we are able to reduce the dose of the administered drug, thereby reducing the risks of developing unwanted reactions that are possible when administering high doses of the drug.

– How financially accessible are the clinic’s services to patients?

– Our clinic operates in the compulsory health insurance (CHI) system, since a large number of diseases accompanied by pain are included in the compulsory medical insurance system. The clinic also has a voluntary health insurance (VHI) department. According to current legislation, a doctor must advise a patient about the possibility of receiving free medical services. From a medical point of view, complexity and timeliness are of particular importance: if a patient undergoes an ultrasound today and an MRI six months later, this reduces the effectiveness of treatment to zero. We have developed special programs with significant discounts on sets of diagnostic procedures and pain treatment methods. At the same time, high-tech services, by definition, cannot be very cheap.

– In what directions will the clinic develop this year?

– In the coming years, our clinic will continue to introduce new types of medical services for the diagnosis and treatment of pain. These include various types of electrical neurostimulation, physiotherapy, new methods of neuroimaging, ultrasound, x-ray assistance, navigation in the treatment of pain syndromes. There will be a widespread introduction of minimally invasive operations, neurosurgical, low-traumatic procedures, which will allow surgical treatment of the cause of pain in 2-3 days. Further training for our doctors is planned; they will master related specialties, new treatment techniques, including diagnostic and invasive ones. We will also develop connections with other clinics and scientific schools specializing in the treatment of pain, both in our country and abroad. Our goal is to relieve our patients from any pain, from walking through torment: comprehensively, effectively and safely.

A neurologist diagnoses and treats vascular diseases of the brain and spinal cord, as well as the peripheral nervous system.

If necessary, patients may be referred to the neurology department.

Currently, diseases of the central nervous system are on the list of leaders. The main reasons for this:

• a huge amount of stress;
• environmental problems;
• insufficient sleep and rest;
• sedentary or sedentary work with monotonous load on the legs, etc.

Against this background, neuroses, insomnia, fatigue, vegetative-vascular dystonia quickly develop, and pain in the back and head appears. When such symptoms appear, unfortunately, it is not customary to immediately consult a doctor, which leads to a worsening of the condition and new problems caused by self-medication. At the same time, contacting a specialist will allow you to promptly identify the causes of the disease and prescribe an individual treatment regimen.

Neurologists in our clinic use diagnostic methods that ensure high accuracy of diagnosis in a short time. Among them:

duplex scanning of the main arteries of the head;

electroencephalography,


ultrasound examinations,

electroneuromyography,

radiography,

laboratory diagnostics.

For what symptoms should you consult a neurologist?

The most common complaints when visiting a neurologist are:

sleep disturbance, insomnia;

frequent headaches;

dizziness;


loss of strength, constant fatigue;


periodic loss of consciousness;


noise in ears;

decreased hearing, vision and smell;

pain in the heart, increased heartbeat;

trembling in the limbs, shuddering, twitching;

excessive impressionability and emotional excitability;


skin itching;


memory impairment.

The development of most diseases of the heart, kidneys, lungs and other internal organs is based on pathologies of the nervous system. A doctor can identify such abnormalities at an early stage, which will help prevent complications and be cured with minimal effort, time and money! In addition, the neurologist provides consulting services. You can ask all your questions. By taking preventive measures on time and stopping unpleasant symptoms, you can significantly improve the quality of your life! All you need to do is come to see a doctor!
