Rheumatology

many people who do not know rheumatology at first listen to it and often think that rheumatism is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, only diseases such as old cold legs and rheumatic bone pain.

However, Wang Ruoxiang knows that it is not, "rheumatism" is actually a translated word, borrowing the traditional Chinese medicine theory of rheumatism, and then there is a Chinese medicine explanation.

"Rheumatism" originated from the ancient Greek medical system of "rheuma", meaning "body fluids harmful to the body.". In the 4th century B.C., the complete works of Hippocrates held that human body fluids, as a result of dampness and coldness, poured into the limbs and viscera and penetrated into joints, causing diseases, which was called rheumatism.

In the 17th century, guillom Di bayou, the father of modern rheumatism, introduced the concept of rheumatism into clinical practice and defined it as motor system disease.

Nowadays, rheumatism refers to a group of diseases affecting bone, joint and surrounding soft tissue, such as muscle, bursa, tendon, ligament, fascia, nerve, etc.

For example, diffuse connective tissue disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis and so on, the pathogenesis of these rheumatic diseases are mostly related to the autoimmune system. Modern medicine is still limited, most of the time can only use analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs to treat symptoms, so many countries have traditional herbal medicine is recommended for the combined treatment of rheumatism.

Among the medical teams from all countries participating in today's meeting are top rheumatologists like Professor Lu Qiqing.

It's a conference on something unusual, and it's also a medical conference on this strange disease.

"We have made clinical inquiries on some patients, especially how they feel," said Dr. Jonah Glaser of FBM. At present, the epidemic situation in Citigroup is the most serious, whether in New York or Los Angeles, where patients are everywhere. "We have got some answers that are like classical interpretation of rheumatism."

Classical, Dr. Glaser used this adjective, which made Professor Lu and Wang Ruoxiang puzzled one after another.

The conference screen showed the images of those clinical consultations. The first one was a 16-year-old young patient named Kevin Greer. He was the first patient to be diagnosed in Los Angeles, Citi. He had the most serious condition in his right upper limb and had ossification symptoms all over his body.

"At the beginning, the patient said that the body just had a very strange pain, which turned into severe pain after ossification." "We think it's the first stage after the onset, but the second stage is the patient's current state, and he feels abnormal water flow in his body," Dr. Glaser said

Abnormal flow? The front-line members in the Qing'an conference room were even more puzzled. Even Professor Lu Qingqi and medical experts from many countries learned about this for the first time. It seems that only patients in Citigroup have developed to the second stage.

In the screen image, Kevin Greer is in a small ward with pale walls. In order to make patients contact with things as little as possible to identify pathogens, the layout of the ward is very simple, even like a cell. The young man's face was very poor, his right hand became black, and there was a fear in his pain and hesitation.

He didn't do any bandage on his body. It didn't work. He didn't take any other drugs except analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

"What's the matter with body fluids? Can you tell me more about it? " Asked Dr. Glaser, who was in the room.

"There is a stream of water It's flowing in me... " Kevin Greer replied blankly, "well, how to say Damn it, God It's definitely not blood in my veins, or water I drink into my stomach My whole body is turning into stone, but the gaps that haven't changed. There is something flowing between the stones. I feel like water. I can even hear it ringing, like the sound of a river. The current is very fast... "

"Can you give us more description of this water, or body fluid, about its color? Shape? Smell? These aspects? "

"I don't know I don't know I just feel that they flow very fast, like a flood. I feel that I will be washed away, so my body is becoming a stone. Only like a stone, like a huge stone in the pyramid, can it not be washed away... "

Wang Ruoxiang listened to these, frowned, and noticed the patient said "a huge stone in the pyramid.".

These abnormal feelings of patients are usually not for no reason, often point to the truth of the matter.

Petrifaction, boulders of the pyramid, pyramid of Khufu, 2.3 million boulders

Is this ritual to build a huge "real" pyramid of human remains from the human bones of these patients?

At the same time, Tongye, Xiaoxu, Lou Xiaoning and others have their own thoughts. They have also noticed the stone, but Chang qianhang has noticed something else

"Floods Flood Chang qianhang uttered a deep exclamation, and his haggard face was even more strange. Thinking about something, he said to the crowd: "ancient civilizations have legends about great floods, almost all of which regard floods as catastrophes and world-class catastrophes. This is because most ancient civilizations originated near rivers, and their homes were often destroyed in the event of floods. But there is one place except for the civilization. There is no account of flood disaster in Egyptian mythologyThis is the so-called professional skills, a number of doctors have been surprised, which is beyond their common sense expected.

Egyptian civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of mankind. Why is there no flood disaster? Because the land is in the desert? No floods? What about the Nile?

"Ancient Egypt and Cush were all Nile civilizations." Chang qianhang continued, "the people of Nile civilization are not afraid of floods. They are afraid that there will be no floods. It is because the Nile floods regularly every year that it brings them water, fertility and harvest. If there is no flood in the Nile any year, they will die of hunger and thirst. So the Nile civilization saw floods as a gift from God, which is different from ancient civilizations in other parts of the world. The flood and the sun are the two sources of life that constitute the Nile civilization. "

Wang Ruoxiang frowned higher, and there was an inexplicable chill in his heart.

After the locust disease, Tongye had such expectations for her, hoping that she could come up with some medical speculation to solve the fog.

Now she has a conjecture: "I wonder if the enemy is creating a" great flood ". These patients will flow into rivers and flood. It's the end of the world for us, but for them, it's the coming of God. They'll come out of the pyramid to meet their God and welcome the new world. "

For a moment, the meeting room was silent, and the people shuddered.
