    Insights

    This guideline aims to raise clinician awareness of pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition more common than previously thought. It offers a standardized diagnostic approach for patients exhibiting symptoms and signs of PH.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Clinical Guidelines

    Background:

    • Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is often underdiagnosed.
    • Existing diagnostic approaches for PH lack standardization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance clinician awareness of the prevalence of PH.
    • To establish a standardized diagnostic pathway for suspected PH.

    Main Methods:

    • Guideline development based on current evidence.
    • Standardized diagnostic criteria and algorithms.

    Main Results:

    • Increased recognition of PH as a common condition.
    • Implementation of a uniform diagnostic process.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinician awareness of PH prevalence is crucial.
    • A standardized approach improves PH diagnosis in symptomatic individuals.

    Type II Diabetes Mellitus III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnosis

    Type 2 diabetes mellitus develops gradually and is often asymptomatic in early stages.Clinical ManifestationsWhen symptoms appear, they include fatigue, blurred vision, pruritus, delayed wound healing, and recurrent infections, particularly candidal infections. Peripheral neuropathy may present as numbness or tingling in the extremities. Classic hyperglycemia symptoms—polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia—are less common. Most patients are overweight and frequently have associated hypertension...
    Portal Hypertension01:22

    Portal Hypertension

    Portal hypertension is an increase in blood pressure within the portal venous system. Normally, this pressure is less than 5 mmHg. It is considered clinically significant when it rises above 10 mmHg. At this threshold, complications from altered blood flow and venous congestion emerge.EtiologyPortal hypertension arises from conditions that impede blood flow through the liver. The most common cause is cirrhosis, in which chronic liver injury leads to fibrotic scarring. This fibrosis narrows or...
    Jaundice01:25

    Jaundice

    Jaundice, or icterus, is the yellow discoloration of the skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes. It happens when plasma bilirubin levels rise above 2.5-3 mg/dL, leading to bilirubin deposition in tissue.Bilirubin is a byproduct of hemoglobin degradation. In macrophages, hemoglobin breaks down into globin and heme. Globin is converted into amino acids, while heme is turned into biliverdin by heme oxygenase, which is then reduced to unconjugated bilirubin by biliverdin reductase.Unconjugated...
