Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with circinate migratory erythema (EBS-migr) is a basal subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS, see this term) characterized by belt-like areas of erythema with multiple vesicles and small blisters at the advancing edge of erythema. Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown but 2 families have been reported to date. Clinical description Onset of the disease is usually at birth. The lesions occur on the limbs and trunk and heal with brown pigmentation but no scarring. Extracutaneous involvement is absent. Etiology EBS-migr is due to a specific mutation in the KRT5 (12q13.13) gene, encoding keratin 5. Genetic counseling Transmission is autosomal dominant.
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) with migratory circinate erythema can be caused by mutation in the keratin-5 gene (KRT5; 148040). Clinical Features Gu et al. (2003) described a form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex that was milder than the Dowling-Meara phenotype (131760) but involved an unusual migratory circinate erythema with multiple vesicles on the area affected by the erythema. The lesions, which appeared from birth primarily on the hands, feet, and legs but spared the nails, ocular epithelia, and mucosae, healed with brown pigmentation but no scarring. Electron microscopy findings were distinct from those seen in the Dowling-Meara type of EBS, with no evidence of tonofilament clumping. Molecular Genetics In an affected Japanese girl and affected members of an unrelated Korean family, Gu et al. (2003) identified heterozygosity for a 1649delG mutation in the KRT5 gene (148040.0017).
Sick sinus syndrome (also known as sinus node dysfunction) is a group of related heart conditions that can affect how the heart beats . "Sick sinus" refers to the sino-atrial (SA) node, which is an area of specialized cells in the heart that functions as a natural pacemaker.
In each case, the affected individual had extra genetic material caused by an abnormal duplication of part of this chromosome. It is not known how this duplicated genetic material results in the signs and symptoms of periventricular heterotopia.
These changes disrupt certain signaling pathways within immune cells, resulting in immune deficiency. It is unclear how gene mutations alter the development of the skin, teeth, sweat glands , and other tissues, although it is likely caused by abnormal nuclear factor-kappa-B signaling in other types of cells.

A rare, chronic, photodermatosis disease characterized by intensely pruritic, polymorphic, erythematous, excoriated and/or lichenified papules, macules, plaques and nodules, occurring on sun-exposed areas of the skin (particularly face, nose, lips, and ears), frequently associating cheilitis (especially of the lower lip) and conjuctivitis, which are present year-round or only in the spring/summer (depending on geographic location), observed mainly in Native Americans and Mestizos. Cheilitis may be the sole clinical presentation. Histologically, the presence of lymphoid follicles in mucosa is pathognomonic.
Description Hereditary polymorphic light eruption is a form of photosensitivity found in the American Indians of the central plains of Canada and the United States and in the Indians of Central and South America. The disorder has also been called familial actinic prurigo, solar dermatitis, and hydroa aestivale. In northern latitudes, skin lesions appear on exposed areas early in spring, become severe during the summer, and abate in the fall. Usually the disorder appears in childhood with eczematous crusted eruptions on the face and arms. Fissured, crusted exudative cheilitis develops on the lips, especially the lower lip.
Most people with SCA2 have between 37 and 39 CAG repeats in the ATXN2 gene. It is unclear how the abnormally long CAG segment affects the function of the ataxin-2 protein.
Summary Clinical characteristics. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, including nystagmus, slow saccadic eye movements, and in some individuals, ophthalmoparesis or parkinsonism. Pyramidal findings are present; deep tendon reflexes are brisk early on and absent later in the course. Age of onset is typically in the fourth decade with a ten- to 15-year disease duration. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of SCA2 rests on the use of molecular genetic testing to detect an abnormal CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in ATXN2 . Affected individuals have alleles with 33 or more CAG trinucleotide repeats.
Spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2) is a progressive disorder that causes symptoms including uncoordinated movement (ataxia), speech and swallowing difficulties, muscle wasting, slow eye movement, and sometimes dementia. Signs and symptoms usually begin in mid-adulthood but can appear any time from childhood to late-adulthood. SCA2 is caused by mutations in the ATXN2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a subtype of type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA type I; see this term) characterized by truncal ataxia, dysarthria, slowed saccades and less commonly ophthalmoparesis and chorea. Epidemiology Prevalence is estimated to be 1-2 in 100,000 with significant geographical and ethnic variations. Clinical description SCA2 presents in the 3rd or 4th decade (average age = 30 years; age range = 2-65 years). Parkinsonism is also a less common but well-documented manifestation. There is no distinct clinical feature that reliably distinguishes SCA2 from SCA1 although tremor and autonomic dysfunction are more common in SCA2.
Clinical Features Al-Din et al. (1990) described an Arab family of Palestinian origin in Kuwait with an autosomal recessive form of spinocerebellar degeneration with slow eye movements. Previously reported cases were either sporadic or of autosomal dominant inheritance (see Wadia-Swami syndrome, 183090). Associated features included progressive intellectual impairment and extrapyramidal dysfunction as well as peripheral neuropathy and skeletal abnormalities. Muscle biopsy showed nonspecific mitochondrial abnormalities. The pedigree showed 3 affected males and 3 affected females in 2 sibships, both with consanguineous parents and at least one common ancestral couple. The progress of the disorder was slower than that in the Wadia-Swami syndrome; a severe disability was reached in 10 to 15 years, but even at that stage the main disability was that of gait and patients managed to live with minimal help except for walking.
Ethnic origin was of importance in determining SCA type: 4 of 9 SCA2 index cases were of Italian origin, and 4 of 14 SCA3 index cases were of Chinese origin.
As a result, these unwanted proteins, along with ubiquitin and ataxin-3, cluster together to form clumps (aggregates) within the nucleus of the cells. It is unclear how these aggregates affect cell function, because they are found in healthy cells as well as those that die.
Schols et al. (1995) pointed out that in SCA3 as observed in Germany, features characteristic of Machado-Joseph disease, such as dystonia, bulging eyes, and faciolingual fasciculations, are rare. Durr et al. (1996) screened 173 index patients with adult-onset cerebellar ataxia of whom 125 were classified as ADCA type I (cerebellar signs with supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, extrapyramidal signs, dementia, and amyotrophy); 9 of whom were ADCA type II (cerebellar ataxia with retinal degeneration in all family members); and 4 were ADCA type III (pure cerebellar signs after a disease duration of more than 10 years).
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease, is the most common subtype of type 1 autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA type 1; see this term), a neurodegenerative disorder, and is characterized by ataxia, external progressive ophthalmoplegia, and other neurological manifestations. Epidemiology Prevalence is estimated to be 1-2 in 100,000 with significant geographical and ethnic variations: the highest prevalence has been found in the Azores (Flores Island (1/239)), intermediate prevalence rates in Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, China and Japan, and lower prevalence in North America, Australia and India. Accurate estimates of prevalence are not available. However, SCA3 is the most common form of ADCA1 in most genetically characterized populations and accounts for up to 72 % of families with ataxia. Based on an English language literature review about 600 cases have been published. Clinical description SCA3 is divided into 3 forms. SCA3 type 1 (MJD Type 1, see this term) is associated with ataxia, ophthalmoparesis, pyramidal signs such as spasticity and hyperreflexia, and extrapyramidal signs including dystonia and other movement disorders presenting in adolescence.
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia that is characterized by slow degeneration of the hindbrain and has material basis in expansion of CAG triplet repeats (glutamine) in the ATXN3 gene Machado-Joseph disease Other names Autosomal dominant striatonigral degeneration, Nigro-spino-dentatal degeneration with nuclear ophthalmoplegia Machado–Joseph disease is inherited via an autosomal dominant manner Specialty Neurology Machado–Joseph disease ( MJD ), also known as Machado–Joseph Azorean disease , Machado's disease , Joseph's disease or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 ( SCA3 ), is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive cerebellar ataxia , [1] [2] which results in a lack of muscle control and coordination of the upper and lower extremities . [3] The symptoms are caused by a genetic mutation that results in an expansion of abnormal "CAG" trinucleotide repeats in the ATXN3 gene [1] that results in an abnormal form of the protein ataxin which causes degeneration of cells in the hindbrain . [3] Some symptoms, such as clumsiness and rigidity, make MJD commonly mistaken for drunkenness or Parkinson's disease . Machado–Joseph disease is a type of spinocerebellar ataxia and is the most common cause of autosomal-dominant ataxia. [1] MJD causes ophthalmoplegia and mixed sensory and cerebellar ataxia. Contents 1 Symptoms 2 Genetics 3 Pathophysiology 4 Diagnosis 4.1 Classification 5 Treatment 6 Prognosis 7 History 8 Notable cases 9 Ethical consideration 10 References 11 External links Symptoms [ edit ] Symptoms of MJD are memory deficits, [4] spasticity , difficulty with speech and swallowing, weakness in arms and legs, clumsiness, frequent urination and involuntary eye movements. Symptoms can begin in early adolescence and they get worse over time. Eventually, MJD leads to paralysis; however, intellectual functions usually remain the same. [ citation needed ] Genetics [ edit ] Flores and São Miguel are centers of the Machado–Joseph disease in the Azores . [5] Machado Joseph's disease has multiple origins as SCA3 comes from haplotype of four different origins and was not from one origin in the Azores.
Summary Clinical characteristics. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and variable findings including pyramidal signs, a dystonic-rigid extrapyramidal syndrome, significant peripheral amyotrophy and generalized areflexia, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, action-induced facial and lingual fasciculations, and bulging eyes. Neurologic findings tend to evolve as the disorder progresses. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of SCA3 is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous abnormal CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in ATXN3 identified by molecular genetic testing. Management. Treatment of manifestations : Management is supportive as no medication slows the course of disease. The goals of treatment are to maximize function and reduce complications.
Spinocerebellar ataxia 3 (SCA3) is a rare, inherited form of ataxia . Signs and symptoms may begin between childhood and late adulthood and vary greatly. Symptoms may include slowly progressive clumsiness in the arms and legs; a manner of walking (gait) that may be mistaken for drunkenness; difficulty speaking and swallowing; impaired eye movements or vision; and lower limb spasticity. Some people with SCA3 develop dystonia or symptoms similar to those of Parkinson’s disease ; twitching of the face or tongue; nerve damage (neuropathy); or problems with urination and the autonomic nervous system . SCA3 is caused by a mutation in the ATXN3 gene and inheritance is autosomal dominant.
SBDS gene mutations reduce the amount or impair the function of the SBDS protein. It is unclear how these changes lead to the major signs and symptoms of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because Shwachman-Diamond syndrome-1 (SDS1), also known as the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome, is caused by compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations in the SBDS gene (607444) on chromosome 7q11. Heterozygous mutations in the SBDS gene have been associated with predisposition to aplastic anemia (609135). Description Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is a multisystem autosomal recessive disorder characterized by exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, bony metaphyseal dysostosis, and varying degrees of marrow dysfunction with cytopenias. Myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia occur in up to one third of patients (summary by Dror and Freedman, 1999). For a review of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, see Dror and Freedman (2002).
Summary Clinical characteristics. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is characterized by: exocrine pancreatic dysfunction with malabsorption, malnutrition, and growth failure; hematologic abnormalities with single- or multilineage cytopenias and susceptibility to myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS) and acute myelogeneous leukemia (AML); and bone abnormalities. In almost all affected children, persistent or intermittent neutropenia is a common presenting finding, often before the diagnosis of SDS is made. Short stature and recurrent infections are common. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of SDS is established in a proband with the classic clinical findings of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction and bone marrow dysfunction and/or by identification of biallelic pathogenic variants in DNAJC21 , EFL1 , or SBDS , or a heterozygous pathogenic variant in SRP54. Management. Treatment of manifestations: Care by a multidisciplinary team is recommended.
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that Shwachman-Diamond syndrome-2 (SDS2) is caused by homozygous mutation in the EFL1 gene (617538) on chromosome 15q25. Description Shwachman-Diamond syndrome-2 (SDS2) is characterized by exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, hematopoietic abnormalities, short stature, and metaphyseal dysplasia (Stepensky et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, see SDS1 (260400). Clinical Features Stepensky et al. (2017) reported a 6-year-old Mexican boy and his 4-year-old sister (family A) who had short stature, mild global developmental delay, severe myopia, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and bilateral genu varum. Skeletal survey showed metaphyseal widening and irregularity, especially in the ribs and femurs.
It has also been shown that the Dictyostelium discoideum homologue catalyzes the removal of eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6), which is required for the translational activation of ribosomes. [10] Cells from SDS patients were shown to have a defect in assembly of ribosome subunits. [ citation needed ] At present, it is not obvious how disruption of the basic cellular process of translation leads to the tissue- and organ-specific manifestations seen in SDS.
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) affects many parts of the body, particularly the bone marrow, pancreas, and skeletal system. Symptoms include the inability to digest food due to missing digestive enzymes, low muscle tone, and anemia. Other symptoms include skeletal findings and intellectual disability. Children with SDS may have feeding difficulties, slow growth, and frequent infections. People with SDS are at increased risk for blood cancers. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome can be caused by the SBDS , DNAJC21 , EFL1 , or SRP54 gene not working correctly.
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare multisystemic syndrome characterized by chronic and usually mild neutropenia, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency associated with steatorrhea and growth failure, skeletal dysplasia with short stature, and an increased risk of bone marrow aplasia or leukemic transformation. Epidemiology Worldwide prevalence is estimated at about 1/350,000 and birth-prevalence at around 1/200,000 live births. Clinical description SDS shows a variable clinical picture, even within families. It generally manifests during infancy or early childhood. The most common anomaly is usually intermittent and moderate neutropenia that is associated with recurrent infections. Mild anemia and thrombocytopenia may also occur. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency results in failure to thrive, growth retardation, and chronic steatorrhea.
In the most current and extensive literature review of VWS [Burdick et al 1985], a citation list search and manual search of Index Medicus starting from 1965 revealed data on 864 affected individuals in 164 families reported since Demarquay [1845] first observed VWS. ...

The UWES measures vigour, dedication and absorption; positive counterparts to the values measured by the MBI. [47] In 2010, researchers from Mayo Clinic used portions of the MBI, along with other comprehensive assessments, to develop the Well-Being Index , a nine-item self-assessment tool designed to measure burnout and other dimensions of distress in healthcare workers specifically. [48] The core of all of these conceptualizations, including that of Freudenberger, is exhaustion. ... Training employees in ways to manage stress in the workplace have also been shown to be effective in preventing burnout. [100] One study suggests that social-cognitive processes such as commitment to work, self-efficacy , learned resourcefulness, and hope may insulate individuals from experiencing occupational burnout. [93] Increasing a worker's control over his or her job is another intervention has been shown to help counteract exhaustion and cynicism in the workplace. [101] Additional prevention methods include: starting the day with a relaxing ritual; yoga; adopting healthy eating, exercising, and sleeping habits; setting boundaries; taking breaks from technology; nourishing one's creative side, and learning how to manage stress.

Guidelines recommend azithromycin , doxycycline , erythromycin , levofloxacin or ofloxacin . [37] In men, doxycycline (100 mg twice a day for 7 days) is probably more effective than azithromycin (1 g single dose) but evidence for the relative effectiveness of antibiotics in women is very uncertain. [38] Agents recommended during pregnancy include erythromycin or amoxicillin . [2] [39] An option for treating sexual partners of those with chlamydia or gonorrhea includes patient-delivered partner therapy (PDT or PDPT), which is the practice of treating the sex partners of index cases by providing prescriptions or medications to the patient to take to his/her partner without the health care provider first examining the partner.
