Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.3K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.2K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.4K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.6K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.

Understanding the variety of primary symptoms and systemic complications that characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial for healthcare professionals.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

    Summary

    Psoriatic disease, encompassing skin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, involves significant comorbidities. Cardiovascular diseases, infections, osteoporosis, and neoplasia are key concerns beyond joint and skin manifestations.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Psoriatic arthritis is strongly linked to psoriasis vulgaris.
    • Psoriatic disease extends beyond skin and joint involvement.
    • Comorbidities are increasingly recognized as integral to psoriatic disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the concept of psoriatic disease as a systemic condition.
    • To review the major comorbidities associated with psoriatic disease.
    • To emphasize the importance of managing cardiovascular risks in psoriatic disease patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of current understanding.
    • Identification and discussion of key comorbidities.
    • Focus on cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors.

    Main Results:

    • Psoriatic disease is a systemic condition affecting multiple organs.
    • Cardiovascular diseases are significant comorbidities.
    • Risk factors include smoking, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • A unified view of psoriatic disease is clinically pragmatic.
    • Management should address systemic comorbidities, especially cardiovascular risks.
    • Infections, osteoporosis, and neoplasia also require consideration.
