Huntington Disease l: Introduction01:21

Huntington Disease l: Introduction

91
Huntington disease or HD is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.PathophysiologyIt is caused by expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in the HTT gene on chromosome 4 (4p16.3), producing an abnormal huntingtin protein with an expanded polyglutamine tract. This misfolded protein disrupts cellular function, leading to neuronal death. Normal alleles have ≤26 repeats, 27–35 are intermediate (risk of expansion), 36–39 show...

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State01:21

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

14
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State, or HHS, is a serious and life-threatening complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by three main features: severe hyperglycemia, profound dehydration, and elevated serum osmolality, all occurring without significant ketoacidosis.HHS typically develops in older adults or individuals with limited access to fluids. This may result from illness, cognitive impairment, or medications such as diuretics or corticosteroids. These factors reduce...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

804
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Adrenal Gland Disorders01:27

Adrenal Gland Disorders

3.7K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology01:19

Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology

24
Cortisol production is normally governed by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which maintains hormonal balance through tightly regulated feedback mechanisms. Disruption of this regulatory system is central to the development of Cushing syndrome, whether the excess cortisol originates from external medications or internal pathology. Persistent cortisol elevation alters metabolism, immune function, and endocrine signaling, producing the characteristic clinical features...

Hyperthyroidism II: Pathophysiology01:27

Hyperthyroidism II: Pathophysiology

26
Hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic state caused by elevated levels of thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It results from dysregulation at the thyroid, pituitary, or immune system level and affects multiple organ systems.PathophysiologyThe most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies, specifically thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb), a subtype of TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb), bind to and activate TSH...

Summary

Heyde's syndrome, a condition linking gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia with aortic stenosis, can be treated. Aortic valve replacement effectively stopped bleeding and normalized hemoglobin in a patient with this rare syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding from colonic angiodysplasia is a recognized complication of severe aortic stenosis.
  • This association is known as Heyde's syndrome.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old woman presented with congestive heart failure due to aortic stenosis and severe anemia.
  • She had multiple angiodysplasias identified in her ileum and colon.

Findings:

  • Surgical aortic valve replacement was performed.
  • Following the procedure, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding ceased, and hemoglobin levels normalized.

Implications:

  • Aortic valve replacement is a potential treatment for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Heyde's syndrome.
  • This intervention can significantly improve anemia and quality of life in affected individuals.
