Types of Fever01:25

Types of Fever

1.4K
Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

Methods of reducing fever

1.5K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

430
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.6K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Immunology
  • Autoinflammatory Diseases
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most prevalent hereditary autoinflammatory disease (AID).
  • Recent advancements have expanded knowledge on FMF pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • This review focuses on providing an updated summary of FMF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an up-to-date summary of Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
  • To review the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of FMF.
  • To provide an overview of the pathophysiologic basis of FMF within the context of AIDs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on FMF.
  • Analysis of new diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines.
  • Evaluation of disease severity scores and novel therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • New criteria for childhood FMF and updated treatment/follow-up guidelines have been proposed.
  • A need for a new disease severity score for research purposes is identified.
  • Emerging evidence supports anti-interleukin-1 blockade as a novel treatment modality for FMF.

Conclusions:

  • Proposed diagnostic criteria, severity scores, and treatment guidelines require further validation.
  • Ongoing research aims to refine the management and understanding of FMF.
  • Anti-interleukin-1 therapy shows promise for FMF treatment.
