Luwang November 2 news (reporter Sun Lili) inexplicably dizzy, suddenly the sky swirled ... This is something that many people have had or are experiencing, and in fact, vertigo disease is a common and frequent disease in the clinic. "In neurology clinics, about 5%-10% of patients suffer from vertigo. The disease has the characteristics of complex etiology, high incidence and strong recurrence, which is a common problem that plagues people of all ages. Li Zhao, deputy director of the Department of Neurology of Yitang Central Health Center in Lanshan District, Linyi City, said.
"For neurology diseases, the exact diagnosis is important"
In March 2021, Zhang Qiang (pseudonym), a 40-year-old who lives in Yitang Town, came to the Neurology Clinic of Yitang Central Health Center for help due to long-term and repeated dizziness.
"Patients presented with symptoms of vertigo from time to time. Once the onset of the disease, the halo will cause nausea and vomiting, standing unsteadily, at that time, the patient can only be slightly relieved by lying in bed. Talking about the typical symptoms of vertigo, Li Zhao frankly said, "In addition to bringing physical discomfort, due to the recurrence of such diseases, there is no regularity to speak of, such as patients standing unsteadily due to sudden illness, unable to walk or even fall, the risks caused by it are also unpredictable." Therefore, although the symptoms are not critical and dangerous, vertigo is one of the common neurology diseases that cannot be ignored. ”
In the process of receiving treatment, Zhang Qiang, who was frequently tormented by vertigo, admitted that he had also tried to take medication when he was ill before, but the effect was very small, so he could only let the symptoms repeat.
"In fact, for neurology diseases, the accuracy of the diagnosis is important. Accurate diagnosis, the right medicine, the drug may go directly to the lesion, accurately relieve the patient's disease, otherwise the best drugs are useless. The long-term accumulation of clinical experience is the key to the exact diagnosis of neurologists. In this regard, Li Zhao added, "With the help of rich clinical experience, with the medical history, symptoms and signs, facial expressions, movement gait, and verbal expression in the process of patient consultation, doctors often have a general direction judgment for patients' diseases." On this basis, with the help of professional instruments such as brain ct and color ultrasound, it is necessary to distinguish and exclude other neurological diseases that may have high symptom similarity, and assist in confirming the diagnosis. ”
Under the support of the exact diagnosis, Li Zhao prescribed a treatment drug for Zhang Qiang for neurology vertigo, which effectively alleviated and relieved his vertigo symptoms. The efficient and accurate diagnosis and efficacy also provided him with a good prescription, so far after two relapses of vertigo, Zhang Qiangdu came to Li Zhao's outpatient clinic for the first time and achieved timely and effective relief treatment.
"Constantly dig deep into the level of department diagnosis and treatment, and comprehensively care for the patient's nervous system"
In addition to the effective treatment of vertigo, common neurological diseases represented by facial neuritis, Parkinson's disease, cerebral infarction, neurosis, etc., are also the category of active development of special treatments in the Department of Neurology of Yitang Central Health Center.
"Taking facial nerve inflammation, which is the 'facial paralysis' disease we often hear, as an example, patients will have symptoms such as crooked corners of the mouth and incomplete eye closure. Affected by this, patients can not even complete the most basic movements such as raising their eyebrows and closing their eyes, and physiologically they are subjected to a kind of 'silent torture'. Li Zhao said.
In order to help patients relieve the impact of facial nerve inflammation, the Department of Neurology of Yitang Central Health Center has long formed a complete treatment system. "For patients with this disease, we mainly carry out two-part treatment. First of all, anti-inflammatory, nutritional nerve and other drug treatment, followed by acupuncture treatment in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine after the acute stage. In this way, the patient can restore facial function as soon as possible. Li Zhao said, "With the help of such a systematic and standardized treatment, the patient's eyes will gradually close and the corners of the mouth can gradually recover." Usually, in about two weeks, the patient can be cured. ”
While Li Zhao continues to accumulate clinical experience in daily disease treatment, how to take the patient as the center, continuously expand the level of diagnosis and treatment of the department, and improve the medical experience has become an inexhaustible driving force for him to think and act. In recent years, with the establishment of the medical association, the medical cooperation between Yitang Central Health Center and Linyi People's Hospital has been deepening. During this period, Li Zhao has visited the Municipal People's Hospital for further study many times, or exchanged clinical experience with experts who visited the clinic.
In the process of long-term work, Li Zhao increasingly believes that practicing medicine in grass-roots hospitals does not mean limiting his medical service capabilities. "The more departments and doctors in our grass-roots hospitals, the more we should continuously improve and broaden our own diagnosis and treatment technology and capabilities." As the leader of the neurology department of the hospital, Li Zhao frankly said that the development of neurology is not limited: "Taking Parkinson's, a neurological disease commonly found in the elderly, as an example, patients usually need to receive long-term management treatment before and after diagnosis. During this period, the patient's search for diagnosis, changes in the condition, drug adjustment, and cycle review, etc., all mean that the treatment process is rushed back and forth... This requires our local hospital departments to master the relevant professional knowledge and skills as soon as possible, so that patients can obtain long-term management of Parkinson's disease nearby, while effectively reducing the medical burden. There are many similar chronic diseases of the nervous system that need to be controlled for a long time, and what can provide convenience for such patients is the direction that we need to take root and dig deep in the next step of our neurology department. ”
