まとめ
皮膚筋炎による呼吸筋力低下は肺疾患を模倣する可能性があり、診断が遅れることがあります。間質性肺疾患がなくても、筋力低下や発疹を早期に認識することが転帰を改善します。
科学分野:
- リウマチ学
- 肺医学
- 皮膚科学
背景:
- 皮膚筋炎は、皮膚と筋肉に影響を与える特発性炎症性筋症である。
- 間質性肺疾患(ILD)は既知の合併症であるが、低換気を引き起こす呼吸筋力低下はしばしば見過ごされる。
- これにより、原発性肺病変としての誤診につながる可能性がある。
研究 の 目的:
- 皮膚筋炎による呼吸筋力低下が原発性肺疾患を模倣した症例を提示する。
- この病態に関連する診断上の課題と遅延を強調する。
- 皮膚筋炎関連の呼吸器合併症を認識することの重要性を強調する。
主な方法:
- 呼吸困難と肺炎疑いの所見があった40歳女性の症例報告。
- 診断ワークアップには、コンピューター断層撮影(CT)スキャン、感染症ワークアップ、筋酵素検査、皮膚検査が含まれた。
- 生検で皮膚筋炎が確認され、高分解能CTでILDが除外された。
主要な成果:
- 初期診断は肺炎で誤りであった。抗生物質投与にもかかわらず症状は悪化した。近位筋力低下と特徴的な皮膚所見(V徴候、ゴットロン丘疹)が現れた。呼吸困難は、間質性肺疾患(ILD)によるものではなく、免疫抑制療法後に改善した呼吸筋力低下に最終的に起因するとされた。
- Initial diagnosis of pneumonia was incorrect; symptoms worsened despite antibiotics.; Proximal muscle weakness and characteristic skin findings (V sign, Gottron's papules) emerged.; Dyspnea was ultimately attributed to respiratory muscle weakness, not ILD, with improvement after immunosuppressive therapy.
結論:
- 皮膚筋炎による呼吸筋力低下は、原発性肺疾患として現れ、診断の遅延を引き起こす可能性がある。
- 間質性肺疾患(ILD)がなくても、進行性の筋力低下と病原性のある発疹を認識することが重要である。
- 免疫抑制療法による迅速な診断と治療が患者の転帰を改善する。

Weak Base Solutions
25.1K
Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Weak Acid Solutions

Few compounds act as strong acids. A far greater number of compounds behave as weak acids and only partially react with water, leaving a large majority of dissolved molecules in their original form and generating a relatively small amount of hydronium ions. Weak acids are commonly encountered in nature, being the substances partly responsible for the tangy taste of citrus fruits, the stinging sensation of insect bites, and the unpleasant smells associated with body odor. A familiar example of a...

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Weak Base
4.9K
Weak acids and bases do not undergo dissociation completely, and titrations between these two are rarely studied. When such studies are performed, say, for the titration of a weak acid with a weak base, the titration curve plots the change in pH as a function of the volume of base added. Take the titration of acetic acid with ammonia, for instance. During the titration, these two species form ammonium acetate and water, but the pH change is slow and gradual.

Pneumonia I: Introduction
852
Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that targets the lungs, specifically the alveoli. These tiny air sacs, essential for oxygen exchange, become engorged with pus and fluid, severely hindering breathing, decreasing oxygen absorption, and causing significant pain and discomfort during respiration.
Risk Factors
Various factors influence the likelihood of developing pneumonia. Age plays a crucial role, with infants, children under two, and individuals over 65 at increased risk due to their...
