Khmer Specialists – Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery involves the surgical treatment of problems that develop in the bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments of the human body. It addresses some problems of the nervous system, such as those that occur as a result of injury or degeneration of the spine, as well as those caused by accident, trauma or chronic conditions. Surgery can correct problems of the nervous system related to the spinal column, congenital defects and musculoskeletal issues caused by aging. Orthopedic surgeons provide comprehensive general and sub specialized orthopedics and trauma service and sports medicine. Arthroscopy, usually done as a day surgery is less invasive and is used by doctors to look at, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint.

Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves the controlled use of radiation beams to treat cancer either for cure, or to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by cancer. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is the term used to describe actual treatment delivered by the radiation oncology team. An important tool for treating cancer, it is often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as chemotherapy. Radiation is targeted only to specific points in your body during treatment to minimize its side effects. It can be utilized during different stages of cancer treatment and may be paired in conjunction with another form of treatment. It may be used to alleviate symptoms in advanced, late-stage cancer too.

Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the preven-tion, diagnosis, surgical treatment and rehabili-tation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal column, spinal cord, central and peripheral nervous system, and cerebrovascular system. Conditions that require neurosurgery may be trauma-related, for example injury to the head and spine where there is internal bleeding (cer-ebral aneurysms) or meningitis, a bacterial or viral infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Procedures are also available to treat degenera-tive diseases like Parkinson disease.

Infectious Diseases
Infectious Diseases

Khmer Specialists – Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms that live in and on our bodies are normally harmless and may even be helpful. But under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease.
Some infectious diseases are passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by insects or other animals. And you may get others by consuming contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment.
Signs and symptoms vary depending on the organism causing the infection, but often include fever and fatigue. Mild infections may respond to rest and home remedies, while some life-threatening infections may need hospitalization.
