Less commonly found is the ability ventricular diastolic failure to accept blood is altered. It may be the result of abnormal relaxation, short, incomplete or slow that may be transient as in acute ischemia or myocardial hypertrophy claim that restrictive cardiomyopathy secondary concentric or infiltrative diseases such as amyloidosis. The main clinical manifestations result from cardiac systolic failure and inadequate sodium retention and appear secondary, while the main clinical manifestation is insufficient diastolic ventricular filling pressure increase circulation and increased pressure upstream ventricle with pulmonary or systemic

Note that this patient’s right eye has a severe CRVO – dilated veins and widespread retinal hemorrhages. Compared with the patient’s left retina (image on the right) in which there are no retinal hemorrhages Choice “A” is not the best answer. CRAO develops when an embolusi blocks the retinal artery. Most commonly carotid plaques are the source of the emboli. If the plaque is small, it can often pass through the blood vessel allowing the vision to spontaneously return.

There are many symptoms such as hoarseness, swallowing problems, swelling in neck, chest or upper back pains, and many more to include. (AHA) Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome are very alike in the way that they both have the condition, Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and many other comparisons. (Marfan Foundation) Some of the symptoms they share is stretch marks, variable skeletal findings, and Dural Ectasia. Both Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome are found throughout the body, making both of these genetic disorders impossible to cure. (Marfan

Currently the most accepted hypothesis is a vascular disruption causing a hypoxic/ischemic insult to the brainstem in the first trimester23, 24. This can be caused by various teratogens evoking uterine contractions. The following teratogens have been described including: gestational hyperthermia 25, 26, chorionic villus sampling 27, abuse of benzodiazepines 28, alcohol 25,cocaine29, thalidomide 30, ergotamine 31 or self-induced abortion – misoprostol 32. Hypoplasia or aplasia of the nuclei can also be caused by genetic mechanisms 1, but because the majority of Moebius syndrome cases are sporadic, genetics play only a minor role. So far three different chromosomal regions for familial Moebius syndrome have been reported: MBS1 (OMIM 157900, 13q12.2-q13) 33, 34, MBS2 (OMIM 601471, 3q21-q22) and MBS3 (OMIM 604185, 10q21.3-q22.1) 35, 36.

Whether anyone is an athlete or not, most people have likely experienced some sort of ankle problem at one point or another. Acute ankle sprain is a very common injury, in which many people are familiar with but most often it is ignored as minor injuries. It is estimated that about one ankle sprain injury occurs per 10,000 populations per day4and between 15 to 20% of sports-related injuries involve the ankle1. Injuries that are repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term effects such as chronic pain and weakness to the ankle. Assessment and treatment of sprained ankle is critical, yet, most people are clueless when it comes to treating acute ankle sprain.

ARRHYTHMIA Description Cardiac arrhythmia, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow. Arrhythmias are due to problems with the electrical conduction system of the heart. The most common forms of arrhythmia observed is either, tachycardia (A heartbeat that is too fast - above 100 beats per minute in adults) or bradycardia (A heartbeat that is too slow - below 60 beats per minute). While most types of arrhythmia are not serious, some predispose a person to complications such as stroke or heart failure. Others may result in cardiac arrest.

The anterior (front) part of the nose is rich in blood vessels. Minor injuries that affect the nose allow the blood to drain out and is not considered a medical emergency. Bleeding farther back in the nose is known as a posterior epistaxis. Posterior bleeds are often prolonged and difficult to control. They can be associated with bleeding from both nostrils and with a greater flow of blood into the mouth.

Addison’s disease effects the adrenal glands and cuts the supply of cortisol being produced within the adrenal cortex. The adrenal glands are a major part of the endocrine system and without them functioning correctly,

While clearly Alzheimer’s and dementia show similar symptoms and overlap in some diagnostic testing and treatments, they are not the same condition. Dementia is a syndrome and Alzheimer’s is a disease Dementia is shown to be caused by many different issues, with Alzheimer’s being the most frequent cause. Alzheimer’s may be a form of dementia but dementia is not always a form of Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s develops gradually over time. Dementia can be brought on in a short amount of time by things such as infections, trauma, and alcohol.

We are asked to see Mr. Preston. He is a pleasant 70-year-old gentleman recently diagnosed with myeloma, who is found to have a creatinine around 2.0. He appears to have been worked up in Florida for the creatinine around 2, and myeloma with 20% plasma cells was found. He was transferred here for chemotherapy. On review of his old record, he was diagnosed in the Butner systems based on our excellent electronic medical record in 02/2011 with hypertensive nephropathy.
