Question 1

what is necrosis?

Accepted Answer

Necrosis: Necrosis refers to death of cells or tissues.

Question 2

what can cause nerve necrosis?

Accepted Answer

Many concerns: Necrosis is "death" or destruction of a nerve, and this sometimes is necessitated to alleviate pain, by an alcohol injection.  If a nerve is cut or transected, or if a nerve cell body dies (apoptosis), from a variety of inflammatory or degenerative causes, recovery is not possible.  So, nerve death can occur both in central and peripheral  nervous systems.   Timely treatment is always best.

Question 3

what are some causes of  narcosis?

Accepted Answer

Stop Drug(s): These are the effects of (a physiological state) a physical or chemical agent that depresses nervous system excitability. Specifically, narcosis refers to a drug or drugs that .Produce such a "reversible" state.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: necrosis?

Accepted Answer

Dead tissue.: Necrosis is premature cell death, due to external forces acting on the cells. Causes  include trauma, ischemia, toxins and infections.

Since necrotic tissue has lost the ability to protect itself, it is prone to infection, and is often surgically removed, debrided, to protect neighboring living cells. Untreated, necrosis can lead to infection, gangrene, sepsis and even death.

Question 5

thanks dr each man's but what if the entire organ doesn't die it's just slowly necrosing can this too be poisoned?

Accepted Answer

The whole organ: generally doesn't--even in fatal gangrene, the whole limb doesn't fall off. In fatal appendicitis it is a very small part of the overall bowel that dies off (and releases bowel contents, also bad). Pancreatitis is fatal due to the inflammatory process even if the pancreas is not quite all gone.
etc

Question 6

what are some of the side effects of narcosis?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: I think you mean narcotics, which are a class of very potent analgesic drugs.  Common side-effects include constipation, nausea, itching, somnolence, rash, urinary retention.  Serious side effects would include respiratory depression and arrest (think of all those rock stars that died from heroin overdoses) and lowering of the blood pressure.  Addiction potential is also very high.

Question 7

how long does naprosin take to reduce swelling?

Accepted Answer

Depends on injury: This greatly depends on the type and severity of injury. The anti-inflammatory properties will start within 30-45 minutes of taking the medication but the actual swelling may not go down for a few hours or few days depending on the injury. I hope this answer helps and feel better soon!

Question 8

extensive tumor necrosis! how to diagnose, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Remove if possible: When tumor get very large and essentially loose blood supply necrosis can set in.  If extensive, tumor necrosis syndrome develops and release of toxins into the blood stream can occur.  At this point debulking of the lesion is beneficial.

Question 9

i was told i have papilary necrosis what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Renal disease: Kidney tissue is damaged and is not functioning correctly.

You need to take stock of all medication you have been taking and stop any that has an effect on the kidney. Also deal with any kidney infection.

Medical care is important and following advise very closely to avoid progression of the condition is essential.

Question 10

how to tell the difference between fat necrosis and normal fat deposits?

Accepted Answer

Fat nec. vs deposit: Interesting question? Fat Deposits are accumulations of fatty tissue either loosely or in a collection, i.e. lipoma. Vs Fat Necrosis is a disruption of the architecture of fat itself by the death of the fat or adipose cell. Thus leading to indentations or depressions in the area of necrosis. Better explanation with an in person visit to your Plastic Surgeon!
