Chapter 681: Rheumatism, flood

Rheumatism, Rheumatology
Many people who do not understand rheumatology, at first glance, often think that rheumatism is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, but only diseases such as old cold legs and rheumatic bone pain.
But Wang Ruoxiang knows no, "rheumatism" is actually a translated word, borrowing from the rheumatism of Chinese medicine, and then there is an explanation of Chinese medicine.
"Rheumatism" originated from "Rheuma" in the ancient Greek medical system, which means "body fluid harmful to the body". In the 4th century BC, "The Complete Works of Hippocrates" believed in the article on human anatomy that the body fluids of the human body were poured into the limbs and internal organs due to cold and wet, and caused diseases by infiltration into the joints.
In the 17th century, the "father of modern rheumatism" Guillaume di Bayou introduced the concept of rheumatism into the clinic and defined it as a disease of the motor system.
Today, rheumatism generally refers to a group of diseases that affect bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues, such as muscles, bursa, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
Like diffuse connective tissue disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, etc., the pathogenesis of these rheumatic diseases is mostly related to the autoimmune system. Modern medicine still has limited means for this. Most of the time, it can only be treated with analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, so traditional herbs from various countries are recommended for combined treatment of rheumatism.
The medical teams of all countries participating in today's meeting have the most top rheumatologists like Professor Lu Qiqing.
This is a meeting about abnormal things and a medical meeting for this strange disease.
"We have conducted clinical consultations on some patients, especially how they feel," said Dr. Jona Glaser from FBM seriously. At present, the epidemic in Citi is the most serious, regardless of whether it is in the ten disaster cities of New York, Or in places like Los Angeles, where there are patients everywhere, "I got some answers like a classical interpretation of rheumatism."
Classical, Dr. Glasser used this adjective to make Professor Lu and Wang Ruoxiang doubt them.
The conference screen played the images of the clinical consultations. The first was a young patient, named Kevin Greer, 16 years old. He was the first patient diagnosed in Citizen Los Angeles. His right upper extremity was the most severe and the whole body Both are accompanied by ossification symptoms.
"At the beginning, the patient said that the body only had a very strange soreness, which turned into severe pain after ossification." Dr. Glasser said, "We think this is the first stage after the onset, but in the second stage, it is The patient is now in a state where he feels abnormal water flow in his body. "
Abnormal water flow? The frontline members in the Qing'an conference room were even more puzzled. Even Professor Lu Qingqi and medical experts from many countries were informed of the situation for the first time. It seems that only Citi patients have reached the second stage for the time being.
In the screen image, Kevin Greer is in a small ward with pale walls. Because the patient is exposed to as few things as possible to clear the pathogen, the layout of the ward is very simple, even like a cell. The boy's face was very poor, his right hand became black, and there was a fear in his pain and hesitation.
He didn't have any bandages on him, it didn't do anything, he didn't have surgery, and he hadn't taken any medicine other than painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
"What is the body fluid you said? Can you elaborate?" Asked Dr. Glasser who came in for consultation.
"There is a stream of water ... running inside me ..." Kevin Greer replied blankly, "That's how to say ... damn, my ... that's definitely not blood in the blood vessels, or I drink The water that enters my stomach ... I'm becoming stone all over, but the gaps that haven't changed, between the stone and the stone, what is flowing, I feel like water, I can even hear it ringing, like The sound of the river, the current is very urgent ... "
"This kind of water, or body fluids, can you give us more description about its color? Shape? Smell? These aspects?"
"I don't know ... I don't know ... I just feel that they are flowing fast, like a flood, I feel like I will be washed away, so my body is turning into a stone, only like a stone , Like a boulder in the pyramid, will not be washed away ... "
Wang Ruoxiang listened to this and frowned, noticing the patient's statement of "a huge rock in the pyramid".
These abnormal feelings of patients are usually not unreasonable, often pointing to the truth of the matter.
Petrification disease, pyramid boulder, Khufu pyramid, 2.3 million boulders ...
Does this ceremony use the bones of these patients to build a huge, "real" pyramid of corpses?
At the same time, Tongye, Xiaoxu, Lou Xiaoning and others have their own thoughts, and they all noticed the stone, but Chang Qianhang noticed something else ...
"Flood ... Flood!" Chang Qianhang exclaimed in a low voice, and his haggard face was even stranger. Thinking about it, he said to all the people who came to him: "Ancient civilizations have legends about the Flood, almost all Consider the flood as a catastrophe, a catastrophe of annihilation. This is because most ancient civilizations originated beside rivers. Once a flood occurs, their homes are often destroyed. However, except for a local civilization, in Egyptian mythology There is no description of the flood disaster. "
This is the so-called specialization of the art industry, and a lot of doctors have accidents, which is beyond their common sense.
Egyptian civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of mankind, why is there no flood disaster? Because the ground is in the desert? No flood? What about the Nile?
"Ancient Egypt and ancient Kush ~ EbookFREE.me ~ are Nile civilizations." Chang Qianhang continued, "People in the Nile civilization are not afraid of floods, they are afraid of no floods. It is because the Nile floods regularly every year. Brought them water, brought fertility of the land, and brought about a harvest. If the Nile did not flood in that year, they would starve to death. Therefore, the Nile civilization regarded the flood as a gift from God. Ancient civilizations in other places are different. Floods and the sun are the two sources of life that constitute the Nile civilization. "
Wang Ruoxiang's brows were higher, and there was an inexplicable chill in his heart.
After the locusts became ill, Tong Ye had that expectation for her, hoping that she would use the clues to make any medical assumptions to unravel the mist.
Now she has a speculation, "I am thinking, is the enemy creating a" flood ", these patients gather into a river, and a flood. That is the end of the world for us, but for them, it is the coming of God, They will walk out of the pyramid to greet their gods and the new world. "
For a time, the meeting room was silent, and everyone shuddered.
