A dental implant is a small screw-like device that is placed into the jawbone, to replace a natural tooth. The implant acts like a tooth's roots, and over time the dental implant becomes fused to the natural bone, making it stable. Dental implants are used on patients who are missing teeth and are looking for a fixed, permanent solution which will enable them to feel confident in their looks, as well as being able to eat and talk comfortably. Normally, the implant is placed into the jawbone and then allowed to heal (and fuse to the bone or "osseointegrate") for between 6 weeks to 6 months. This allows the implant to heal without coming under pressure from chewing, and reduces the risk of implant failure. Once the implant is secure, the dentist will take an impression of the mouth in order to create a crown to sit on top of the implant and abutment (the connector in between the two). The time needed between implant placement and the attachment of the final prosthesis may vary case by case, based on the density of the jawbone and other variables. Some clinics advise that 6 weeks is enough, and other clinics offer new teeth in a day, using systems such as Straumann's Instant Load dental implants. A dental implant can be used to support a single tooth, but can also form part of a full mouth restoration. Options like All-on-4 and other Implant-Supported Dental Bridges and Implant-Supported Overdentures use a few strategically placed dental implants to hold a full arch (up to 10 or 12 teeth). Recommended for Patients with missing teeth Patients with teeth that cannot be saved and require extraction

A medical examination, also called medical checkup or health checkup, is a general examination of a patient's health. Having a medical checkup can help to identify problems early on, even before symptoms show. A checkup can also give patients peace of mind if they are worried about their health. It is recommended to have a general health checkup every few years. This is especially for people who are overweight, unhealthy, or who have a family history of diseases like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes. A health checkup can help to identify problems early on, such as high blood pressure or heart disease, so that patients can make necessary lifestyle changes and if needed, take medication. There are many different tests that may be performed in a health checkup, including blood tests, diagnostic imaging, cardiac studies and more. A medical checkup may also include cancer marker blood tests, to detect any signs of cancerous cells in the body. A checkup is recommended if you have concerns about your health, and wish to put your mind at ease, or if you have health problems which require ongoing monitoring. Recommended for A medical checkup is recommended for anyone, in particular people who are at risk of developing certain health conditions.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the uterus (womb). It is performed to treat a variety of different conditions, heavy periods, pelvic pain, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, fibroids (benign tumors), endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed in women above the age of 40. There are different types of hysterectomy that can be performed, depending on the patient's individual case. A total hysterectomy, which is the most commonly performed hysterectomy, involves removing the uterus and cervix. A subtotal hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus. A total hysterectomy with BSO (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) involves removing the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. A radical hysterectomy is the same as a total hysterectomy with BSO, with the addition of removing surrounding tissue, fat, lymph glands, and part of the vagina. There are 3 different surgical approaches to performing a hysterectomy which include laparoscopic hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, and vaginal hysterectomy. Once a hysterectomy is performed, it is no longer possible for a woman become pregnant, therefore patients should be sure that they do not want to become pregnant before undergoing surgery. Having a hysterectomy can take 6 to 8 weeks to recover from, as it is a major operation. Recommended for Severe endometriosis Chronic pelvic pain Painful uterine fibroids Uterine prolapse Abnormal bleeding (when other treatments have been unsuccessful) Cancer of the uterus, cervix or ovaries

Disease prevalenceEpilepsy, which affects more than 50 million people worldwide, accounts for a significant share of the global burden of disease. It is estimated that the proportion of the total population with an active form of epilepsy (that is, with ongoing seizures or the need for treatment) at a given time is from 4 to 10 per 1000 people. However, the results of some studies in low- and middle-income countries suggest that this proportion is much higher - from 7 to 15 per 1000 people.It is estimated that globally, epilepsy is diagnosed annually in2.4 million people. In high-income countries, the number of new annual cases of the disease at the general population level is between 30 and 50 per 100,000. In low- and middle-income countries, this figure may be twice as high.Higher rates in low- and middle-income countries are likely to be associated with an increased risk of endemic diseases such as malaria and neurocysticercosis; increased rates of road traffic injuries; birth injuries, as well as differences in medical infrastructure, the availability of prevention programs and affordable medical care.nullnullnullnullmedication, surgery may help.PreventionIdiopathic epilepsy is not preventable. However, for known causes of secondary epilepsy, preventative measures can be taken.    Preventing head injuries is the most effective way to prevent post-traumatic epilepsy.     Proper perinatal care helps reduce the incidence of new epilepsy due to birth injuries.     The use of drugs and other methods to lower body temperature in children with fever can reduce the likelihood of febrile seizures.     Central nervous system infections are a common cause of epilepsy in tropical areas wherethere are many developing countries. The eradication of parasites under these conditions and educational work regarding the prevention of infections are effective ways to reduce the burden of epilepsy worldwide, for example, epilepsy due to neurocysticercosis.Allhospital would like to recommend Professor Antonio Russi (Teknon Kiron Clinic, Barcelona), one of Europe's top epileptologists. According to Professor Russi, 95 out of 100 patients manage to completely get rid of the epilepsy disease after proper treatment.Leave a request on our website and our specialists will contact you and help you choose the best clinic in accordance with your case absolutely free.

Overview: Brain aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure performed to repair a brain aneurysm that has the potential to rupture, or has already ruptured. Average length of stay abroad: weeks Time spent abroad depends on the type of brain aneurysm being treated. Unruptured aneurysms tend to have a quicker recovery process than ruptured aneurysms.

Overview: Breast cancer treatment varies depending on the stage of the cancer and whether or not the cancer has spread. Cancer occurs when there is an abnormality in cell growth, which causes the cells to divide and grow quickly when the cell should die to make room for new cells. Average length of stay abroad: weeks The time spent abroad will depend on the treatment. If chemotherapy or radiotherapy are the methods of treatment, then multiple sessions are likely to be required which may mean a longer stay than with surgery.

nulldrug and radiation therapy are connected to the operation. The choice of the leading method of treatment is dictated by the size and location of the tumor, the patient's condition and concomitant diseases.With a very small tumor that does not germinate the mucosa, only the mucosa with the underlying layer is resected with a gastroscope, and the treatment results are very good.At stage I – II of the cancer, part of the esophagus is removed, the defect is filled with a segment of the intestine or a tube is formed from the stomach. Today it is possible to use endoscopic equipment for these operations.With the spread of the tumor into the muscle layer and further, an operation is also performed, but thisnullSometimes chemoradiotherapy is carried out with insufficient radical surgery. Chemotherapy can be performed if surgery is not possible, when the tumor is too large, or with a small tumor, but with general contraindications for surgery. In this conservative option, survival is comparable to surgical treatment. In the presence of fistulas, chemoradiotherapy is not possible. Chemotherapy may be complicated by acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, which will require a meal through a dropper.Leave a request on our website and our specialists will contact you and help you choose the best clinic in accordance with your case absolutely free.

Lung cancer today is one of the most common types of malignant neoplasms. On average, there are 40 lung cancer sufferers per 100,000 people in the world, moreover, men are diagnosed with the disease 10 times more often than women, and the proportion of urban residents in all cases is several times more than the village population. Nevertheless, modern medicine has a powerful arsenal for treating this type of oncology: with timely access to help, it is highly likely not only to stop the development of the disease, but also to forget about it forever.Crayfishlungs: disease profile and prognosis of cureAbout 5 million people die of lung cancer every year in the world. This type of malignancy is also called bronchogenic carcinoma, or bronchogenic cancer. The tumor develops from the integumentary epithelium of the mucous membrane of the bronchi, alveoli and epithelium of the bronchial glands. Despite the fact that the etiology of the disease is still unclear, the main reasons for its occurrence include: smoking; exposure to radon and certain carcinogens (asbestos mineral is the most dangerous for the lungs); some types of viruses; increased concentration of dust particles in the air. Pathogenesis of lung cancer onnullnulllung.Stage 1 lung cancer is characterized by a tumor up to a maximum size of 3 cm, which does not yet metastasize. The neoplasm is located in one segment of the lung or within the segmental bronchus.Stage 2 - a tumor up to 6 cm is located in one segment of the lung or within the segmental bronchus. Single metastases in pulmonary and bronchopulmonary lymph nodes are observed.Stage 3 - a tumor larger than 6 cm with a transition to an adjacent lobe of the lung or germination of an adjacent bronchus or main bronchus. Metastases are found in bifurcation, tracheobronchial, paratracheal lymph nodes.4stage of lung cancer is characterized by metastases in distant systems and organs, pleurisy and / or pericarditis is attached. This classification is applicable only for squamous cell carcinoma. In the case of small cell cancer, which develops very quickly, only 2 stages are distinguished. The first - a limited stage - is accompanied by the localization of pathogenic cells in one lung and adjacent tissues. In the second stage, the tumor metastasizes to the area outside the lung and to distant organs.Lung cancer treatmentsA good diagnosis of pulmonary oncology is extremely important, because the choice of suitable treatment methods depends on it. The main methods aresurgical intervention, chemo and radiation therapy. Thanks to the rapid development of medical technology, these approaches are becoming more secure and effective.1. Surgical treatment is used for squamous cell carcinoma. During the operation, the entire cancerous tumor or its separate segment is removed. The volume of tissue removed depends on the nature of the tumor and its location. The current trend in the treatment of lung cancer is the use of minimally invasive methods, which are produced using a miniature video camera. The technique is called Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). Such operations are accompanied by less pronounced pain, and the rehabilitation process after them proceeds faster.2. Chemotherapy- The main treatment for most patients with lung cancer. Its essence lies in taking medications that destroy cancer cells.3. Targeted (targeted) therapy for lung cancer. Such drugs recognize malignant cells by their specific characteristics and destroy them, affecting vital functions (growth, division). In addition, such drugs disrupt the blood supply to the tumor. Targeted (targeted) therapy can be prescribed as an independent method of treatment or in combination with chemotherapy in order to increase the effectiveness of treatment.4. Immunological therapy in the treatment of lung cancer is an innovative and highly promising direction inconservative oncology. Such treatment allows you to set up cells of your own immune system against cancer cells and “target” only affect tumor cells.5. Radiotherapy. Irradiation of the tumor with a powerful beam of gamma rays, as a result of which the cancer cells die (they stop the growth and reproduction). Carried out by remote or high-dose method. With radical radiation treatment, both the tumor itself and the regions of regional metastasis are exposed to radiation. Radiation therapy is also used for small cell cancer.Leave a request on our website and our specialists will contact you and help you choose the best clinic in accordance with your case absolutely free.

Overview: Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood cells in the body. It usually begins in the bone marrow where an abnormality occurs in the white blood cells. Normal blood cells form, divide, and die to make room for new cells. Leukemia disrupts this process and prevents the blood cells from functioning properly. Average length of stay abroad: weeks The length of stay abroad will depend on the treatment plan and the patient's response to treatment.

On average, transformation from precancer into a cancerous tumor takes from 2 to 15 years. The subsequent transition from the initial stage of cancer to the final one lasts 1-2 years.Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor, which according to medical statistics among oncological diseases that occur in the fair sex, takes fourth place (after cancer of the stomach, skin and mammary glands).The source of a cervical cancer is normal cells that cover the cervix. More than 600 thousand of these tumors are detected annually.patients. Although cervical cancer usually occurs between the ages of 40-60 years, but, unfortunately, it has recently become very young.The treatment of cervical cancer is combined and includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In each case, treatment is prescribed individually, it depends on the stage of the disease, concomitant diseases, the condition of the cervix, and the presence of inflammatory diseases at present.During a surgical operation, a tumor can be removed with part of the cervix, removal of the tumor along withthe cervix, and sometimes with the uterus itself. Often, the operation is supplemented by removal of the lymph nodes of the pelvis (if cancer cells have managed to get used to it). The issue of ovarian removal is usually decided individually (in the early stages of cancer in young women, the ovaries can be preserved).After surgery, if necessary, patients are prescribed radiation therapy. Treatment with ionizing radiation can both complement surgical treatment, and can be prescribed separately. In the treatment of cervical cancer, chemotherapy, special drugs that stop growth can be used.and cancer cell division. Unfortunately, the possibilities of chemotherapy for this disease are very limited.The success of cervical cancer treatment depends on the age of the patient, the correctness of the selection of therapy, and, most importantly, on the early diagnosis of the disease. When cervical cancer is detected at an early stage, the prognosis is very favorable and the disease can be cured by surgical methods alone.Leave a request on our website and our specialists will contact you and help you choose the best clinic in accordance with your case absolutely free.
