- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 后皮层缩 (PCA) 是一种进展性神经退行性疾病,影响视觉和后部认知功能.
- 虽然PCA通常与阿尔茨海默氏症 (AD) 病理学有关,但也可能源于带有勒维体 (DLB) 的痴呆症,皮层基底退化 (CBD) 或子病.
- 本研究使用已确定的诊断标准调查印度的PCA病例.
研究的目的:
- 检查印度后皮层缩 (PCA) 患者的临床,病因和成像特征.
- 评估先进的成像技术在PCA表型的表征方面的实用性.
- 了解印度人口中PCA呈现的异质性.
主要方法:
- 八名PCA患者的潜在病例系列,在2021年至2024年期间在印度一家高等医院诊断出.
- 对人口统计数据,神经心理评估,成像发现 (MRI,FDG-PET,Tau-PET) 和生物标志物研究的分析.
- 基于Crutch等人对患者的分类. 纯PCA和PCA Plus亚型的2017年共识标准.
主要成果:
- PCA呈现出早期开始的认知衰退 (第五至第六个十年) 和初始视觉空间/实践障碍.
- 6名患者 (75%) 是纯PCA,2名 (25%) 是PCA Plus (包括混合病理). 现象类型包括背部,腹部和双双脚的变体.

Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations
520
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a primary health risk worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The condition arises from the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, resulting in diminished blood supply to the heart muscle.The clinical manifestations of CAD vary widely, from asymptomatic stages to severe, life-threatening conditions. Understanding these manifestations is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.Angina Pectoris: The Warning...

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Heart Failure III: Clinical Manifestations
436
Heart failure (HF) manifests primarily as dyspnea, fatigue, and fluid retention, resulting in peripheral and pulmonary edema. Symptoms may vary depending on which ventricle is more affected, left or right.Left-Sided Heart FailureAlso known as left ventricular failure, this condition results from the left ventricle's inability to fill or eject sufficient blood into the systemic circulation. It leads to pulmonary congestion, which occurs when the left ventricle fails to eject blood effectively...

Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
437
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...
