Chronic limb threatening ischemia ( CLTI ), also known as critical limb ischemia ( CLI ), is an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is defined as ischemic rest pain, arterial insufficiency ulcers, and gangrene. The latter two conditions are jointly referred to as tissue loss, reflecting the development of surface damage to the ...
The Abbreviated Injury Scale ( AIS) is an anatomical-based coding system created by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine to classify and describe the severity of injuries. [1] [2] [3] It represents the threat to life associated with the injury rather than the comprehensive assessment of the severity of the injury. [4]

Hyperreflexia. Hyperreflexia is overactive or overresponsive bodily reflexes. Examples of this include twitching and spastic tendencies, which indicate disease of the upper motor neurons and the lessening or loss of control ordinarily exerted by higher brain centers of lower neural pathways (disinhibition). Spinal-cord injury is the most common ...
Acute limb ischaemia ( ALI) occurs when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to a limb, [1] within 14 days of symptoms onset. [2] It is different from another condition which is more chronic (more than 14 days) [3] called critical limb ischemia (CLD). CLD is the end stage of peripheral vascular disease where there is still some collateral ...

It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [ 1] Work on ICD-10 began in 1983, [ 2 ...
Whiplash associated disorders (WAD), is a range of injuriesto the neckcaused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck[1]associated with extension,[2]although the exact injury mechanisms remain unknown. The term "whiplash" is a colloquialism. "Cervical acceleration–deceleration" (CAD) describes the mechanism of the injury, while WAD ...
Facet syndrome. Facet syndrome is a syndrome in which the facet joints ( synovial diarthroses) cause painful symptoms. [ 1] In conjunction with degenerative disc disease, a distinct but functionally related condition, facet arthropathy is believed to be one of the most common causes of lower back pain. [ 2][ 3]
