Pernicious anaemia
Jordi Pons, the medical student from Barcelona, has made some language notes in his textbook.Pernicious anaemia (PA) is a condition in which there is atrophy of the gastric mucosa with consequent failure of intrinsic factor production and vitamin B 
malabsorption. The onset is insidious, with progressively increasing symptoms of anaemia. Patients are sometimes said to have a lemon-yellow colour owing to a combination of pallor and mild jaundice caused by excessive breakdown of haemoglobin because of ineffective red cell production in the bone marrow. A red sore tongue (glossitis) is sometimes present. Patients present with symmetricalparaesthesiae in the fingers and toes, early loss of vibration sense, and progressive weakness and ataxia. The spleen may be palpable.
onset = beginning
insidious = slowly developing
pallor = lack of colour
mild = slight
jaundice = bilirubinaemia
breakdown = division into smaller parts
bone marrow = soft tissue in the cavity of bones
symmetrical = each side the same
vibration sense = ability to feel vibrations
progressive = continuing to develop
palpable = can be felt with the hand

| spine | vertebral column | позвоночник |
| breastbone | sternum /`stǝ:nǝm/ | грудина |

Fractures
A fracture is a break in a bone. Some of different types of fracture:
greenstick displaced comminuted impacted open(compound)
A pathological fractureis a fracture in a diseased bone. A fatigueor stress fractureis due to repeated minor trauma, for example long-distance marching or running.
Treatment of fractures
When the fragments of a broken bone heal and join together, they unite. Union may be promoted, or helped, by reducing the fracture — replacing the fragments in their anatomical position if the are displaced. After reduction, excessive movement of the broken bone is prevented by fixation — either, for example a splint or a plaster of Paris cast, or internal, for example a pin or plate and screws. A displaced fracture which is not reduced may result in malunion — incomplete or incorrect union.
Note:The verb reduce has several meanings in medicine:
● to make smaller — I think we’d better reduce the dose of your tablets.
● (in surgery) to return to anatomical position — A hernia can normally be reduced by manipulation.
● (in chemistry) to remove oxygen or add hydrogen — Nitric acid is a reducing agent(восстановитель)
to reduce — вправлять(вывих)
исправлять положение обломков кости
