Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction01:24

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

540
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction01:30

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction

906
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

947
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
Altered...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

501
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Restless Leg Syndrome and Night Terrors

515
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs due to uncomfortable sensations. These sensations typically occur during periods of rest or inactivity, particularly when lying down or sitting, and can severely disrupt sleep.
The exact cause of RLS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate muscle movement. Imbalances in dopamine levels...

Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management01:26

Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management

295
Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epidemiology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is characterized by new or worsening symptoms in individuals with a history of poliomyelitis.
  • Understanding the clinical and epidemiological profile of PPS is essential for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the clinical, functional, and epidemiological profile of patients with post-polio syndrome (PPS).
  • To identify factors associated with PPS onset and symptom frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 400 poliomyelitis patients, with 310 diagnosed with PPS.
  • Analysis of epidemiological, clinical, and electromyographic variables.
  • Investigation of relationships between age at poliomyelitis onset, disease severity, sex, and PPS symptom frequency.

Main Results:

  • PPS diagnosed in 310 patients, predominantly women (57.7%), with a mean age of 52.4 years at symptom onset.
  • High prevalence of pain (85%), fatigue (65.5%), and tiredness (57.8%).
  • Fatigue, tiredness, depression, and cognitive complaints were more common in women; 59% showed electromyographic findings suggestive of PPS.

Conclusions:

  • Observed symptom frequencies differ from existing literature, highlighting the diverse clinical profile of PPS.
  • Emphasis on objective parameters like symptom worsening or new weakness is recommended for diagnosis.
  • Further research into biomarkers may improve diagnostic accuracy for post-polio syndrome.
