People have two basic desires.
One is the physiological impulse, and the other is the pleasure of the mouth and stomach.
From a philosophical point of view, excessive desire is the main culprit of various diseases.
Diseases caused by physiological impulses are not listed for now.
Gastrointestinal pleasure is the key to causing neurocysticercosis.
Many people know that eating anything raw is unhygienic, but they still can't help but put seafood and raw meat in their mouths with some sauce. They also claim that eating raw can preserve the original flavor and nutrients of the food.
The country with the most digestive tract diseases in Asia is an island country. Even India, which dares to bathe in Ganges River water, can't catch up.
Deadly things often hide in dark places.
At first glance, the island country is a high-quality country that pays attention to hygiene, with exquisite dinner plates and clean kitchens. However, their digestive tract diseases are absolutely leading in the world, so much so that the island country ranks among the best in the research of digestive tract diseases.
There is no way, there are more cases, the doctors have rich experience in treating them, and their level of treatment has also improved. The endoscope of the digestive tract was invented by the island country and has a global monopoly.
Chinese cuisine can be traced back thousands of years, and there was also a raw food cooking method called "荍", which has been gradually phased out.
The wisdom of our ancestors is worthy of admiration.
Because they know from experience that eating raw meat or fish will cause harm to the body.
However, some domestic restaurants are now crazily promoting the value of "sashimi", so that the number of digestive tract diseases among Chinese people continues to increase.
The parasites have not been killed by high temperatures and will travel all the way along the digestive tract and reach the human brain.
The most common ones are blood-sucking parasites in stone crabs, crickets, and shrimps. They will first survive in the lungs and then crawl into the head.
In addition, the most common type of cysticercus in the brain is cysticercosis, also known as pork tapeworm. People born in the 1980s must have had an experience. After eating pagoda candy at the epidemic prevention station, their stomach began to cramp. What came out was not daddy, but They are white, fat, long worms.
This long bug likes to burrow into the head.
The adults are several meters long.
When the parasite is still in the digestive system, it can be eliminated with antiparasitic drugs, but once it enters the brain, the antiparasitic drugs are ineffective.
Because of the huge size of the parasite, it will squeeze the brain tissue, causing severe headaches and vomiting in mild cases, or mental retardation and dementia in severe cases.
Of course, the woman in front of me may not have been caused by eating sashimi.
There are many causes of neurocysticercosis and it is difficult to prevent it.
Zhao Yuan walked into the operating room, gave instructions, and the operation began.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
Zhao Yuan did not involve neurosurgery doctors in this operation. Instead, eight teams were fully responsible.
They were very nervous because this was an area they were not familiar with.
However, they did not get into any hesitation because of their nervousness.
On the contrary, they complete all instructions methodically and meticulously.
The anesthesiologist has rich experience and quickly drags the patient into a safe and painless time and space.
Zhao Yuan stretched out his hand and said to Bai Lu, "Bipolar electrocoagulation forceps, scalp clamps."
Bai Lu quickly slapped the instrument on Zhao Yuan's hand.
Zhao Yuan operated on the patient's previous surgical incision while expanding the field of view to ensure that all remaining tumors and cysticercosis could be removed in the shortest possible time during the next operation.
Shan Zhenyu looked at Zhao Yuan's operations with a solemn expression, and broke into a cold sweat for Zhao Yuan.
Judging from the field of view, the situation inside is quite complicated.
The surgeon who operated on the patient was good, but at least 10% of the tumor remained inside.
No matter how good a neurosurgery doctor is, he will still feel at a loss when facing a brain tumor.
Because tumors will grow in functional areas, if you are not careful, they will cause great damage to the patient.
For example, if it grows in the functional area that controls breathing, if you cut it, the patient will not be able to breathe normally.
Brain cysticercosis is similar to tumors and is almost impossible to eradicate with surgery.
Therefore, this type of surgery depends on technology, but also on God’s will.
Enter the skull, enter bit by bit, and slowly separate.
Gently avoid blood vessels and avoid important functional areas.
The skull is an irregular ball, and Zhao Yuan used the retractor skillfully to expand the operating space as much as possible.
"Pull down the microscope fifteen centimeters and prepare a microscopic scalpel."
Zhao Yuan put his eyes in front of the microscope and quickly separated the meninges and cortex with the forceps and scalpel in his hands.
Time passes slowly. Surgery outside the brain is slow, very slow. Time is actually spent on separating structures.
The tumor is exposed.
Logically speaking, Zhao Yuan should be cleaning up the tumor at this moment.
But Zhao Yuan gave Bai Lu an order, "Tumor forceps, No. 8 scalpel."
No one understood Zhao Yuan's intention.
Zhao Yuan's operation was a bit reckless, maybe he wanted to cut directly.
Logically speaking, it should be cut bit by bit after sufficient separation.
However, Zhao Yuan used the wide handle of the knife and cooperated with the tweezers to perfectly peel off the tumor.
"No!" Shan Zhenyu was the first to react.
What Zhao Yuan was dealing with was not tumors, but insect eggs.
The red object the size of an egg is invisible under a high-power microscope.
"I'm going to go! Why are these eggs so big! No wonder other hospitals dare not accept surgery. If such a large egg is misdiagnosed as a tumor, it will basically be a death sentence."
"What kind of parasite eggs are these? Why are they so big?"
"It's probably not pork tapeworm, it could be other parasites."
Zhao Yuan's operation continued, and not long after, he took out another smaller insect egg.
The eggs are similar in size to those of the pork tapeworm.
Zhao Yuan did not relax because he discovered that in addition to eggs, there were also adults.
If the parasite is in the digestive tract, it can be caught directly with your hands.
But the parasite is in the head, and even larger tweezers cannot penetrate it, let alone using hands.
This stage of the surgery is the real excitement.
Everyone was curious about what method Zhao Yuan would use to take out the adult insects.
"silk."
Zhao Yuan and Bai Lu ordered.
Bai Lu quickly handed the silk thread to Zhao Yuan.
People in the observation room outside were shocked by Zhao Yuan's actions.
"He planned to tie the bugs with silk threads and then pull them out."
"This is really too difficult! The insect's body is very soft. Even if the silk thread can be tied, will the insect break into two pieces during the dragging process?"
Fang Boran looked solemn. Zhao Yuan's method of tying tapeworms with silk thread was actually not difficult. It was a knotting technique that interns often practiced.
However, its use here shows how active Zhao Yuan's thinking is.
At least twenty force-bearing points were punched on the tapeworm's head, middle, and tail. The cuff was loose at first. When it comes to dragging, the force must be exerted together. Otherwise, the tapeworm will be frightened and move towards other parts. If the location is moved, the risk will be great if the brain tissue is damaged.
Therefore, more than twenty stress points must exert force at the same time when dragging.
Zhao Yuan must ask for help from his assistant at this moment.
He told Jiang Jing, "Listen to my instructions later. Don't lift it too fast, but use force slowly and slowly."
Jiang Jing nodded, "I will follow your rhythm."
Everyone held their breath and concentrated.
The slightest residue of this adult insect will leave hidden dangers.
The insect has hundreds of suckers attached to the brain tissue. Zhao Yuan and Jiang Jing held up the silk thread and began to wrestle with the insect.
It's a bit like fishing.
Start walking the fish first, wait until the fish loses its energy, and then pull the fish out of the water with all your strength.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Jing’s complexion turned pale.
He now feels sore in his wrists, because this action seems simple, but in fact, if you have to keep your muscles working, it's just like doing kepp, and you won't be able to hold on for long.
Just when Jiang Jing was almost losing her energy, Zhao Yuan shouted, "Tit up!"
Oops!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That bug was hanging directly in the air as if it was tied to dozens of wires!
