Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

492
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.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

285
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

485
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Types of Fever

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.

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

706
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:

  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Genetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Recurrent fevers in children can indicate serious periodic fever syndromes beyond common infections.
  • Autoinflammatory diseases are a key consideration for persistent febrile episodes with specific symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of periodic fever syndromes is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Understanding the genetic basis and clinical spectrum aids in distinguishing these rare conditions.
  • Targeted biologic therapies offer significant advancements in managing PFS and preventing complications like amyloidosis.
