Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

1.2K
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

975
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

522
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents

557
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...

Electrical Current01:10

Electrical Current

7.2K
Electrical current is defined as the rate at which charge flows. When there is a large current present, such as that used to run a refrigerator, a large amount of charge moves through the wire in a small amount of time. If the current is small, such as that used to operate a handheld calculator, a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a long period of time. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A), named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

578
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics and Hand Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Dupuytren's disease (DD) involves progressive contracture of the palmar fascia, impacting hand function and quality of life.
    • This lifelong condition presents with variable courses and diverse clinical features.
    • Historical treatments exist, but advanced stages significantly limit hand functionality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline current therapeutic strategies for Dupuytren's disease.

    • To discuss conservative, surgical, and minimally invasive treatment options.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established and emerging treatment modalities for Dupuytren's disease.
    • Focus on interventions aimed at alleviating clinical manifestations and functional deficits.
    • Consideration of conservative, surgical, and mini-invasive approaches.

    Main Results:

    • Therapy targets both the disease's symptoms and the resulting functional limitations.
    • A range of treatment options are available, including conservative, surgical, and minimally invasive methods.
    • Effective management requires a focus on reducing hand function impairment.

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment for Dupuytren's disease should be centralized in specialized hand surgery centers.
    • Experienced surgeons are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
    • Management strategies must address the disease's impact on hand function and patient quality of life.
