Method used for the study of bacteria and other microorganisms by means of samples from a part of the organism (throat, eyes, skin lesions, blood samples, among them).

Cerebrospinal fluid: examination to detect the presence of bacteria or other microorganism. Its result takes days.

Examination that allows to, through taking a sample of the urethral secretions with a swab and posterior analysis, identify microorganism (bacteria, fungui, viruses) that cause the infection of the urethra.

Cerebrovascular accident. Disease in which, an artery of the brain is suddenly obstructed or broken, causing several symptoms based on the area of the brain affected. CVA caused by the obstruction of an artery are called ischaemic CVA and constitute the majority of the cases. CVA caused by rupture of an artery are called haemorrhagic CVA. Among the factors causing CVA are: Arterial Hypertension, smoking, cholesterol increase, arrhythmia, among others.

The doctor may perform the following examination or exploration:
.Control of Cardiac Frequency (Normal: 60 to 100 beats/minute)
.Control of Breathing Frequency (Normal: 16 to 20 breathing cycles/minute)
.Control of Temperature (Normal: 36,5 - 37 °C)
.Control of Blood Pressure (Normal: ≤ 120/80 mmHg)
Neurological examination, evaluate:
.Level of consciousness and comprehension
.Speech and writing
.Mobility and balance
.Sensitivity
.Senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch)
Heart and vessels examination:
.Palpation of veins and arteries of the neck
.Auscultation (o hearing) the heart

In people older than 65 years: 75% of CVAs occur above that age
-Hypertension: it quadruples the risk of CVA
-Heart diseases: coronary disease, arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation
-Increase of cholesterol in blood
-Diabetes
-Family histories of vascular disease
-Smoking: it triples the risk, especially in males
-Viscous or thicken blood

Surgery that consists of the destruction, through freezing, of the ciliary bodies (part of the eye in charge of producing aqueous humor), which leads to the reduction of aqueous humor secretion, and a decrease of intraocular pressure.

Cystoscopy
Invasive study which allows to examine the inside of the bladder, urethra and prostate.
The doctor uses a thin and flexible tube which has a lens and a light, called endoscope; and the images are viewed on a video monitor.
It is performed under local anaesthesia.

D Dimer is a product formed in the presence of a blood clot. El Dímero D es un producto que se forma ante la presencia de un coágulo de sangre.
D Dimer analysis is requested, together with other tests, to dismiss, diagnose and monitoring diseases and other situations that causes blood clotting (hypercoagulation)

D Dimer is a product formed in the presence of a blood clot.
D Dimer analysis is requested among other examinations, to discard, diagnose and check diseases and other situations that cause blood to clot (hypercoagulability).

It's a surgical procedure in which a small device is put inside the brain, called brain pacemaker, which is connected by a cable to a battery located almost always below the thorax muscles. This brain pacemaker transmits electrical signs in different affected areas of the brain that cause tremor or abnormal movements.
