Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
Hepatitis01:25

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
Hepatic Encephalopathy01:29

Hepatic Encephalopathy

DefinitionHepatic encephalopathy is a reversible neurologic syndrome that results from advanced liver dysfunction or portosystemic shunting. It leads to disturbances in cognition, behavior, and motor function due to the brain’s exposure to gut-derived toxins that the liver fails to detoxify.EtiologyThis condition develops either in the setting of acute fulminant hepatitis or progressively during chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Portosystemic shunting—including...

Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER01:32

Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER

After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication, requires internist involvement for prompt diagnosis and management. Early recognition of epigastric pain and timely delivery are crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets) is a severe condition complicating pregnancy.
  • It presents with diverse symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging.
  • Differential diagnosis includes thrombotic microangiopathy.

Observation:

  • Epigastric pain in late pregnancy is a key symptom of HELLP syndrome.
  • Liver dysfunction and thrombocytopenia can occur without renovascular issues.
  • The condition poses significant risks to both mother and fetus.

Findings:

  • Prompt termination of pregnancy is the primary treatment.
  • Steroid therapy may facilitate anesthesia and reduce transfusion needs.
  • Early-onset HELLP syndrome may indicate underlying chronic nephropathy or thrombophilia.

Implications:

  • Internists play a vital role in managing pregnancy-associated HELLP syndrome.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration between internists and obstetricians improves patient outcomes.
  • Understanding HELLP syndrome aids in identifying at-risk pregnancies and potential long-term maternal health issues.
