Steroid Diabetes
Wikipedia
Mechanism [ edit ] Glucocorticoids oppose insulin action and stimulate gluconeogenesis , especially in the liver , resulting in a net increase in hepatic glucose output. ... Criteria [ edit ] The diagnostic criteria for steroid diabetes are those of diabetes (fasting glucoses persistently above 125 mg/dl (7 mM) or random levels above 200 mg/dl (11 mM)) occurring in the context of high-dose glucocorticoid therapy.

Myasthenia Gravis
Wikipedia
Relatives of people with MG have a higher percentage of other immune disorders. [22] [23] The thymus gland cells form part of the body's immune system. ... Both of these treatments have relatively short-lived benefits, typically measured in weeks, and often are associated with high costs, which make them prohibitive; they are generally reserved for when MG requires hospitalization. [49] [52] Surgery [ edit ] As thymomas are seen in 10% of all people with the MG, they are often given a chest X-ray and CT scan to evaluate their need for surgical removal of their thymus glands and any cancerous tissue that may be present. [18] [37] Even if surgery is performed to remove a thymoma, it generally does not lead to the remission of MG. [49] Surgery in the case of MG involves the removal of the thymus, although in 2013, no clear benefit was indicated except in the presence of a thymoma. [53] A 2016 randomized, controlled trial, however, found some benefits. [54] Physical measures [ edit ] People with MG should be educated regarding the fluctuating nature of their symptoms, including weakness and exercise-induced fatigue. ...

Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy
Wikipedia
The disorder was first recognized in the 1950s, with the first description provided by Hunt et al. in 1954. [1] [2] [3] More recently, pathogenic variants within the ALDH7A1 gene have been identified to cause PDE. [1] [2] [3] [4] Contents 1 Genetics 2 Treatment 3 Monitoring 4 References 5 External links Genetics [ edit ] PDE is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is estimated to affect around 1 in 400,000 to 700,000 births, though one study conducted in Germany estimated a prevalence of 1 in 20,000 births. [1] [2] The ALDH7A1 gene encodes for the enzyme antiquitin or α -aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, which is involved with the catabolism of lysine . [1] [2] [4] [5] Treatment [ edit ] Patients with PDE do not respond to anticonvulsant medications, but seizures rapidly cease with therapeutic intravenous doses of Vitamin B6 and remission from seizures are often maintained on daily therapeutic doses of Vitamin B6. [1] [2] [5] An optimal dose has not yet been established, but doses of 50–100 mg/day or 15–30 mg/kg/day have been proposed. [1] [2] Importantly, excessive doses of vitamin B6 can result in irreversible neurological damage, and therefore several guidelines recommend between 200 mg (neonates) and 500 mg per day as the maximal daily dose. [1] [2] Despite remission of seizure activity with vitamin B6 supplementation, intellectual disability is frequently seen in patients with PDE. [2] [6] Because the affected enzyme antiquitin is involved in the cerebral lysine degradation pathway, lysine restriction as an additional treatment modality has recently been explored. Studies have been published which demonstrate potential for improved biomarkers, development, and behavior in patients treated with lysine restriction in addition to pyridoxine supplementation. [2] [6] In trial, lysine restriction of 70–100 mg/kg/day in children less than 1 year of age, 45–80 mg/kg/day in children between 1–7 years of age, and 20–45 mg/kg/day in children older than 7 years of age were prescribed. [6] Despite the potential of additional benefit from lysine restriction, vitamin B6 supplementation remains the main-stay of treatment given lack of studies thus far demonstrating the safety and efficacy of lysine restriction for this purpose. ...

Ocular Myasthenia
Wikipedia
MG may be limited to the muscles of the eye (ocular MG), leading to abrupt onset of weakness/fatigability of the eyelids or eye movement. MG may also involve other muscle groups ( generalized MG ). ... Diagnosis [ edit ] The variable course of MG may make the diagnosis difficult. ... Treatment [ edit ] The prognosis tends to be good for patients with MG. It is often best not to treat mild cases of MG. ... The symptoms of ocular MG can also be addressed by non-medicinal means.

Hypoglycemia
Wikipedia
Research in healthy adults shows that mental efficiency declines slightly but measurably as blood glucose falls below 3.6 mmol/l (65 mg/dl). Hormonal defense mechanisms ( adrenaline and glucagon ) are normally activated as it drops below a threshold level (about 3.0 mmol/l (55 mg/dl) for most people), producing the typical hypoglycemic symptoms of shakiness and dysphoria . [10] : 1589 Obvious impairment may not occur until the glucose falls below 2.2 mmol/l (40 mg/dl), and many healthy people may occasionally have glucose levels below 3.6 mmol/l (65 mg/dl) in the morning without apparent effects. ... In most people, subtle reduction of mental efficiency can be observed when the glucose falls below 3.6 mmol/l (65 mg/dl). Impairment of action and judgment usually becomes obvious below 2.2 mmol/l (40 mg/dl). ... If IV access cannot be established, the person can be given 1 to 2 mg of glucagon in an intramuscular injection . ...

Genetic Primary Hypomagnesemia
Orphanet
A rare mineral absorption and transport disorder characterized by a selective defect in renal or intestinal magnesium (Mg) absorption, resulting in a low Mg concentration in the blood. ... Diagnosis is also established by simultaneous evaluation of serum Mg and urinary Mg excretion. Presence of hypomagnesemia with adapted urinary Mg excretion (<1mmol/24h or fractional excretion (FE) < 1%) indicates an extra renal origin. Elevated fecal Mg levels indicate an intestinal defect. In contrast, hypomagnesemia with increased urinary Mg excretion (> 2 mmol/24h or FE >2%) indicates a renal origin. ... Management and treatment Treatment of FPH involves substitution with oral Mg. In cases of intolerance, patients may be treated with intramuscular Mg sulfate.

Familial Primary Hypomagnesemia With Normocalciuria And Normocalcemia
Orphanet
A form of familial primary hypomagnesemia (FPH), characterized by low serum magnesium (Mg) values but inappropriate normal urinary Mg values (i.e. renal hypomagnesemia). ... As a consequence, the renal EGF receptor (EGFR) is inadequately stimulated, resulting in insufficient activation of the epithelial Mg channel TRPM6 and thereby Mg loss. Thus, a renal Mg reabsorption defect is observed due to the inability of the kidney to reduce urinary Mg excretion under low serum Mg conditions. Diagnostic methods Diagnosis relies on laboratory findings revealing severely lowered serum Mg values in the absence of other electrolyte disturbances, normocalcemia, low to normal urinary calcium (Ca) values and normal urinary Mg values. ... Management and treatment Treatment of FPHNN is mainly symptomatic and includes the Mg substitution therapy. Prognosis Severity of the disease is variable.

Albuminuria
Wikipedia
The nephrotic syndrome usually results in the excretion of about 3.0 to 3.5 grams per 24 hours. [ medical citation needed ] Nephritic syndrome results in far less albuminuria. [ medical citation needed ] Microalbuminuria (between 30 and 300 mg/24h, [2] mg/l of urine [3] or μg/mg of creatinine [4] ) can be a forerunner of diabetic nephropathy . The term albuminuria is now preferred in Nephrology since there is not a "small albumin" ( micro albuminuria) or a "big albumin" ( macro albuminuria).

Microalbuminuria
Wikipedia
Microalbuminuria can be diagnosed from a 24-hour urine collection (between 30–300 mg/24 hours) or, more commonly, from elevated concentration in a spot sample (20 to 200 mg/l). ... This is termed the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) [10] and microalbuminuria is defined as ACR ≥3.5 mg/mmol (female) or ≥2.5 mg/mmol (male), [11] or with both substances measured by mass, as an ACR between 30 and 300 µg albumin/mg creatinine. [12] For the diagnosis of microalbuminuria, care must be taken when collecting sample for the urine ACR. ... This is due to the variation in creatinine level which is produced by the muscle.

Juvenile Myasthenia Gravis
Orphanet
Juvenile myasthenia gravis (MG; see this term) is a rare form of MG, an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction resulting in ocular manifestations or generalized weakness, with onset before 18 years of age. Epidemiology The exact prevalence and incidence of juvenile MG are not known. Estimated incidence has been reported at 1/1,000,000 to 1/200,000. ... The proportion of patients having only ocular symptoms is higher than in adult MG, particularly in the prepubertal group in which half of cases are purely ocular. ... Thymoma (see this term) development is rare in juvenile MG. Etiology The exact pathogenesis is not known but MG is related to circulating antibodies to various muscle receptors, including, in most of patients, acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and, rarely, muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK). ... In the prepubertal form, there is a high rate of the MG form with no antibodies detectable (30-50%).

Primary Hypomagnesemia With Secondary Hypocalcemia
Orphanet
Etiology Mutations in the gene TRPM6 (9q21.13), encoding the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M, member 6, have been found to be responsible for this disease The pathophysiological hallmark of PHSH is the impaired intestinal absorption of magnesium (Mg) accompanied by renal Mg wasting as a result of a reabsorption defect in the distal convoluted tubule. ... Diagnostic methods Diagnosis relies on laboratory findings which reveal severely reduced serum Mg levels accompanied by hypocalcemia and barely detectable PTH levels. ... Renal defects may be detected after an intravenous Mg load test. The diagnosis is confirmed by genetic screening of TRPM6 . ... Management and treatment Management is mainly symptomatic and the standard treatment consists of the exclusive and lifelong administration of Mg. During manifestations, intravenous or intramuscular administrations are preferred, whereas maintenance therapy usually consists of an oral administration of high doses of Mg. However, because of gastrointestinal side effects, some patients require additional parenteral Mg. Prognosis Prognosis of PHSH depends on the rapidity of diagnosis.

Urethritis
Wikipedia
Non-gonococcal urethritis (caused by Chlamydia trachomatis ) : The CDC recommends administering an oral single dose of azithromycin 1g or a 7-day course of doxycycline 100 mg orally twice daily.' [6] Alternative treatments can also be used when the above options are not available: [6] Erythromycin base 500 mg orally four times daily for 7 days Erythromycin ethylsuccinate 800 mg orally four times daily for 7 days Levofloxacin 500 mg orally once daily for 7 days Ofloxacin 300 mg orally twice daily for 7 days Treatment for both gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis is suggested to be given under direct observation in a clinic or healthcare facility in order to maximize compliance and effectiveness. ... Additionally, recurrent urethritis is defined as urethritis reappearing within 6 weeks after a previous episode of non-gonococcal urethritis. [22] If recurrent symptoms are supported by microscopic evidence of urethritis, then re-treatment is appropriate. [4] The following treatment recommendations are limited and based on clinical experience, expert opinions and guidelines for recurrent or persistent non-gonococcal urethritis : [4] If doxycycline was prescribed as initial therapy, give azithromycin 500 mg or 1 gram for the first day, then give azithromycin 250 mg once daily for 4 days plus metronidazole 400 – 500 mg twice daily for 5 days If azithromycin was prescribed as initial therapy, then give doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days plus metronidazole 400 – 500 mg twice daily for 5 – 7 days Moxifloxacin 400 mg orally once daily for 7 – 14 days can be given with use of caution, if macrolide-resistant M. genitalium infection is demonstrated [4] Appropriate treatment for these individuals may require further referral to a urologist if symptoms persist after initial treatment.

Salicylate Poisoning
Wikipedia
This phase may begin 4–6 hours after ingestion in a young infant [10] or 24 hours or more after ingestion in an adolescent or adult. [9] Diagnosis [ edit ] The acutely toxic dose of aspirin is generally considered greater than 150 mg per kg of body mass. [11] Moderate toxicity occurs at doses up to 300 mg/kg, severe toxicity occurs between 300 and 500 mg/kg, and a potentially lethal dose is greater than 500 mg/kg. [12] Chronic toxicity may occur following doses of 100 mg/kg per day for two or more days. [12] Monitoring of biochemical parameters such as electrolytes and solutes, liver and kidney function, urinalysis , and complete blood count is undertaken along with frequent checking of salicylate and blood sugar levels. ... Plasma salicylate levels generally range from 30–100 mg/l (3–10 mg/dl) after usual therapeutic doses, 50–300 mg/l in patients taking high doses, and 700–1400 mg/l following acute overdose. [13] Patients may undergo repeated testing until their peak plasma salicylate level can be estimated. [14] Optimally, plasma levels should be assessed four hours after ingestion and then every two hours after that to allow calculation of the maximum level, which can then be used as a guide to the degree of toxicity expected. [15] Patients may also be treated according to their individual symptoms. ... Examples of severe poisoning include people with high salicylate blood levels: 7.25 mmol/l (100 mg/dl) in acute ingestions or 40 mg/dl in chronic ingestions, [18] significant neurotoxicity (agitation, coma, convulsions), kidney failure , pulmonary edema, or cardiovascular instability. [14] Hemodialysis also has the advantage of restoring electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities while removing salicylate. [19] Salicylic acid has a small size (low molecular mass), has a low volume of distribution (is more water soluble), has low tissue binding and is largely free (and not protein bound) at toxic levels in the body; all of which make it easily removable from the body by hemodialysis. [8] Indication for dialysis: Salicylate level higher than 90 mg/dL [8] Severe acid base imbalance Severe cardiac toxicity Acute respiratory distress syndrome [8] Cerebral involvement/ neurological signs and symptoms Rising serum salicylate level despite alkalinization/multidose activated charcoal, or people in which standard approaches to treatment ave failed [8] Unable to tolerate fluids with fluid overload Epidemiology [ edit ] Acute salicylate toxicity usually occurs after an intentional ingestion by younger adults, often with a history of psychiatric disease or previous overdose, whereas chronic toxicity usually occurs in older adults who experience inadvertent overdose while ingesting salicylates therapeutically over longer periods of time. [8] During the latter part of the 20th century, the number of poisonings from salicylates declined, mainly because of the increased popularity of other over-the-counter analgesics such as paracetamol (acetaminophen). Fifty-two deaths involving single-ingredient aspirin were reported in the United States in 2000; however, in all but three of these cases, the reason for the ingestion of lethal doses was intentional—predominantly suicidal. [20] History [ edit ] Aspirin poisoning has controversially been cited as a possible cause of the high mortality rate during the 1918 flu pandemic , which killed 50 to 100 million people.

Hypoascorbemia
OMIM
Seven healthy volunteers were hospitalized for 4 to 6 months and consumed a diet containing less than 5 mg of vitamin C daily. Steady-state plasma and tissue concentrations were determined at 7 daily doses of vitamin C from 30 to 2,500 mg. ... The steep portion of the curve occurred between the 30- and 100-mg daily dose, the then-current recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 60 mg was on the lower third of the curve, the first dose beyond the sigmoid portion of the curve was 200 mg daily, and complete plasma saturation occurred at 1,000 mg daily. No vitamin C was excreted in the urine of 6 of 7 volunteers until the 100-mg dose was reached. At single doses of 500 mg and higher, bioavailability declined and the absorbed amount was excreted. Oxalate and urate excretion were elevated at 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily compared to lower doses. ... Safe doses of vitamin C are less than 1,000 mg daily, and vitamin C daily doses above 400 mg have no evident value.
