When directly observed therapy (DOT) is used, intermittent (twice or thrice weekly) administration of drugs after an initial period as short as 2 wk of daily therapy is as effective for drug-susceptible tuberculosis in children as daily therapy for the entire course', 'Surgery is indicated if there is bowel perforation, obstruction or massive hemorrhage.'], Pathophysiology: Esophageal TBEsophageal involvement in TB occurs rarely. It has been seen to occur due to spread from adjacent tissues. It usually involves the middle one-third of the esophagus, at the level of the carina.Gastric and Gastroduodenal TBDue to the protective fatty acid capsule of mycobacteria, proximal GIT lesions were thought to be rare. Additional factors that were thought to prevent TB in the stomach and duodenum were a high acid environment, rapid transit time, and a relative absence of lymphoid tissue. However, they have been reported in the stomach and duodenum.Gastrointestinal (GI) tuberculosis in this anatomic location may lead to gastric outlet obstruction and surgical obstructive jaundice.TB of the Small and Large IntestineFour major forms have been reported:Ulcerative – the most common form. Usually presents with superficial transverse ulcers. It is more likely to be seen in the small intestine.Hypertrophic – occurs as a hyperplastic reaction around the ulcer, producing an inflammatory mass. It is more likely to be seen in the cecum.Ulcero-hypertrophic – a combination of ulcerative and hypertrophic forms may occur.Fibrous stricturing – may lead to fibrosis and stricture formation, resulting in intestinal obstruction.Rectal and Anal TBTB involving the rectal and anal areas may present as multiple fistulae (mimicking Crohn disease), a non-healing lesion after recent anal surgery or a circumferential mass resembling rectal prolapse.Peritoneal TBPeritoneal TB usually occurs with other forms of abdominal TB, with peritoneal involvement occurring after the rupture of necrotic lymph nodes. Lymph nodes in the small bowel mesentery and the retroperitoneum are commonly involved, and these may caseate and calcify. Ascites is the most frequent manifestation.Peritoneal InvolvementTB peritonitis exists in 5 main forms:AsciticLoculated (encysted)Plastic (fibrous)PurulentNodular, Epidemiology:['5 percent of all cases of TB worldwide', '0.1% and 0.7% globally', 'good', 'If you have active TB, you can infect other people.

The most common forms of disease include involvement of the peritoneum, intestine, and/or lymph nodes. TB of the abdomen may occur via reactivation of latent TB infection or by ingestion of tuberculous mycobacteria (as with ingestion of unpasteurized milk or undercooked meat). In the setting of active pulmonary TB or miliary TB, abdominal involvement may develop via hematogenous spread via contiguous spread of TB from adjacent organs (such as retrograde spread from the fallopian tubes) or via spread through lymphatic channels.
Woman aged 21 presenting symptoms such as ['pelvic pain', 'bleeding after sex', 'pallor', 'irregular menstrual bleeding', 'bleeding pv']
Disease Name: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, symptoms: ['pelvic pain', 'bleeding after sex', 'pallor', 'irregular menstrual bleeding', 'bleeding pv'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Progesterone ', 'Tranexamic acid ', 'Mefenamic acid ', 'Danazol', 'ORMELOXIFENE', 'GESTRINONE', 'combined oral contraceptives']}, 'Blood thinners and aspirin.\nHormone replacement therapy.\nTamoxifen (breast cancer drug).\nIntrauterine devices (IUDs).\nBirth control pills and injectables (NuvaRing, Depo-Provera, Implanon).'], Pathophysiology: Problems with ovulation—Lack of ovulation can cause irregular, sometimes heavy, menstrual bleeding. If you do not ovulate for several menstrual cycles, areas of the endometrium (the tissue that lines the uterus) can become too thick. This condition can occur during the first few years after you start having periods and during perimenopause. It also can occur in women with certain medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism.Fibroids and polyps—Fibroids are noncancerous growths that form from the muscle tissue of the uterus. Polyps are another type of noncancerous growth. They can be found inside the uterus or on the cervix. Both can cause irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding.Adenomyosis—In this condition, the endometrium grows into the wall of the uterus. Signs and symptoms may include heavy menstrual bleeding and menstrual pain that worsens with age.Bleeding disorders—When a woman’s blood does not clot properly, there can be heavy bleeding. You may have a bleeding disorder if you have had heavy periods since you first started menstruating. Other signs include heavy bleeding after childbirth or during surgery, gum bleeding after dental work, easy bruising, and frequent nosebleeds.Medications—Hormonal birth control methods can cause changes in bleeding, including breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at a time other than your period). Some medications, such as blood thinners and aspirin, can cause heavy menstrual bleeding. The copper intrauterine device (IUD) can cause heavier menstrual bleeding, especially during the first year of use.Cancer—Abnormal uterine bleeding can be an early sign of endometrial cancer. Most cases of endometrial cancer occur in women in their mid-60s who are past menopause. It usually is diagnosed at an early stage when treatment is most effective. A condition that can lead to endometrial cancer is called endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). It also causes abnormal uterine bleeding. Treatment of this condition can prevent endometrial cancer.Other causes— Endometriosis and other problems related to the endometrium can cause heavy menstrual bleeding. Other causes of abnormal uterine bleeding include those related to pregnancy, such as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) also can be a cause. Sometimes, there is more than one cause., Epidemiology:['42.3% among women aged 40 to 44 years and 34.6% in women aged 45 to 49 years.', 'About 10–15% of women experience episodes of abnormal \nuterine bleeding (AUB) at sometime during the reproductive years of their lives', 'good', 'You can’t prevent many causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. But you can reduce your risk of certain conditions that lead to abnormal bleeding. For instance, maintaining a healthy weight plays a potential role in keeping your hormones balanced. Avoiding diets that contain a high amount of animal fat can reduce your risk of some cancers. Practicing safer sex can reduce your risk of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can cause abnormal uterine bleeding.'], Complications:['Endometrial cancer', 'shock', 'infertility', 'Hypotension', 'severe anaemia,'], Diagnostics:['ultrasound', 'COAGULATION PROFILE', 'endometrial histology'], Differential diagnosis:['abnormal uterine bleeding', 'adenomyosis', 'CANCER CERVIX', 'endometrium carcinoma', 'FIBROID UTERUS'], disease description:Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common and debilitating condition with high direct and indirect effects. AUB can frequently co-exist with fibroids, but the relationship between the two remains incompletely understood and in many women the identification of fibroids may be incidental to a menstrual bleeding complaint. A structured approach for establishing the cause using the Fédération International de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique (FIGO) PALM-COEIN (Polyp, Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, Malignancy (and hyperplasia), Coagulopathy, Ovulatory disorders, Endometrial, Iatrogenic and Not otherwise classified) classification system will facilitate accurate diagnosis and inform treatment options.
A 52-year-old patient experiencing ['Anorectal pain', 'blood in stool', 'Localised pain', 'Redness', 'swelling', 'swelling', 'Tenderness on palpation']
Disease Name: Abscess, symptoms: ['Anorectal pain', 'blood in stool', 'Localised pain', 'Redness', 'swelling', 'swelling', 'Tenderness on palpation'], Treatment: ['antibiotics that are typically prescribed in this instance include:\n\nclindamycin\ncephalexin\ndicloxacillin\ndoxycycline\ntrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim)', 'Incision and drainage'], Pathophysiology: Most abscesses are caused by a bacterial infection.When bacteria enter your body, your immune system sends infection-fighting white blood cells to the affected area.As the white blood cells attack the bacteria, some nearby tissue dies, creating a hole which then fills with pus to form an abscess. The pus contains a mixture of dead tissue, white blood cells and bacteria.Internal abscesses often develop as a complication of an existing condition, such as an infection elsewhere in your body. For example, if your appendix bursts as a result of appendicitis, bacteria can spread inside your tummy (abdomen) and cause an abscess to form., Epidemiology:['64%', '2.3 cases per 100,000 people', 'good', 'Washing your hands frequently.\nNot sharing towels, razors or toothbrushes.\nAvoiding nicking your skin while shaving.\nMaintaining a healthy diet.\nQuitting smoking.\nPracticing good dental hygiene.'], Complications:['gangrene', 'sepsis', 'MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, infection'], Diagnostics:['PUS CULTURE', 'Total Leucocyte Count (TLC)', 'X RAY', 'CT SCAN', 'USG'], Differential diagnosis:['B-cell pseudolymphomas usually present as solitary or multiple, itchy or asymptomatic, smooth surfaced or excoriated, dermal papules and nodules, which may also be subcutaneous', 'hidradenitis suppurativa', 'Panniculitis'], disease description:An abscess is a painful collection of pus, usually caused by a bacterial infection.

Symptoms at 25 years: ['Learning difficulty', 'chewing movements', 'sudden discontinuation of the activity', 'eye fluttering', 'Behavioural DIsorder', 'abrupt lapse of awareness or consciousness']
Disease Name: Absence Seizures, symptoms: ['Learning difficulty', 'chewing movements', 'sudden discontinuation of the activity', 'eye fluttering', 'Behavioural DIsorder', 'abrupt lapse of awareness or consciousness'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Valproic acid(sodium valproate)/ Divalproex Sodium', 'Ethosuximide ', 'Lamotrigine ']}, 'Effective agents include ethosuximide,\nsodium valproate, lamotrigine and benzodiazepines'], Pathophysiology: Seizures (convulsions, fits) are caused by abnormal electrical discharges from the brain resulting in abnormal involuntary, paroxysmal, motor, sensory, autonomic or sensorial activity. About 5 percent children experience convulsions during the first five years of life. Motor movements consisting of tonic and clonic components are the most commonly observed phenomenon, except in the newborn period. Several times, a child may present with a condition that can mimic or be misinterpreted as a seizure. These conditions include convulsive syncope with or without cardiac dysarrhythmia, decerebrate posturing, psychogenic events, dystonia and migraine. Seizures should be differentiated from these conditions as misdiagnosis can have significant therapeutic implications. Absence seizures start abruptly in childhood; the peak prevalence is between 6-8 yr. Absence seizures are not preceded by aura. The patients have a brief abrupt lapse of awareness or consciousness, sudden discontinuation of the activity being performed with staring spell, eye fluttering, or rhythmic movements. The seizure lasts less than 30 seconds. There is no loss of posture, incontinence of urine/ stools or breathing difficulty. Other neurological manifestations and postictal phenomena are absent and development is normal. Unaware of the nature of their illness, school teachers may consider them inattentive pupils. Hyperventilation for 3 min often precipitates the attacks. Absence seizures may occur in multiples, everyday. Attacks following in close succession indicate petit ma/ status or pyknolepsy. About half of patients become seizure free and the rest develop tonic-clonic fits. Learning disabilities and behavior disorders when present are probably related to associated conditions. EEG shows a characteristic 3 per second spike and slow wave pattern. Absence fits are distinguished from complex partial seizures by shorter duration (10 seconds), absence of aura and abrupt return of full consciousness., Epidemiology:['10%', 'between 0.7 and 4.6 per 100,000 in the general population and around 6 to 8 per 100,000 in the pediatric population younger than 15 years', 'GOOD', 'Get plenty of sleep each night.\n\nFind ways to manage your stress.\n\nEat a healthy diet.\n\nExercise regularly.'], Complications:['seizures', 'Behavioural DIsorder', 'Learning difficulty'], Diagnostics:['EEG', 'CT SCAN'], Differential diagnosis:['focal seizure', 'partial seizures'], disease description:Absence seizures start abruptly in childhood; the peak prevalence is between 6-8 yr.Someone having an absence seizure may look like he or she is staring blankly into space for a few seconds.

The patients have a brief abrupt lapse of awareness or consciousness, sudden discontinuation of the activity being performed with staring spell, eye fluttering, or rhythmic movements. The seizure lasts less than 30 seconds. There is no loss of posture, incontinence of urine/ stools or breathing difficulty.

Intravenous acetazolamide drops the IOP within 2 minutes with a peak effect noted by 10-15 minutes. In acute situations, a single dose of 500 mg acetazolamide should be given orally if the patient is not vomiting. Regular acetazolamide is preferred over the sustained-release sequel form because of quicker onset of action. If the patient is vomiting, acetazolamide can be given intravenously.\nOsmotic agents\nMannitol can decrease the IOP 30 mm Hg or more within 30 minutes of administration. The recommended intravenous dose is 0.5-1.5 g/kg body weight as a 15% or 20% solution, delivered at 3 to 5 mL/minute. Frail patients with cardiac or conditions may develop circulatory overload, pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, and electrolyte imbalance. A rapid reduction in cerebral volume may result in subdural hematomas from vein rupture between the sagittal sinus and cortical surface. Therefore, patients receiving IV mannitol should be monitored in a hospital setting.\nOral osmotic agents:\nGlycerin: 1 to 1.5 g/kg body weight of a 50% solution. Onset of pressure reduction is typically 10 to 30 minutes. Avoid in diabetics because the increased caloric load can cause ketoacidosis.\nIsosorbide is commercially available as a 45% (45 g/100 mL) solution (Ismotic; Alcon Surgical). The recommended dose is 1 to 1.5 g/kg body weight.

In pupillary block, aqueous humor encounters increased resistance as it flows from the posterior to anterior chamber through the iris-lens channel. Some degree of relative pupillary block is present in most phakic eyes. The risk of pupillary block is highest with a mid-dilated pupil where there appears to be maximum contact between the iris and the lens. In eyes with angle closure, other factors exacerbate the block, such as the front lens surface being anterior to the plane of iris insertion into the ciliary body base. The increased pressure gradient across the pupil causes the peripheral iris to bow forward and cover some or all of the filtering portion of the trabecular meshwork, resulting in appositional angle closure. Peripheral anterior synechiae form after prolonged or repeated contacts of the peripheral iris with TM., Epidemiology:['0.6%', '17.14 million (95% CI = 14.28–22.85) for people older than 40 years old worldwide, with 12.30 million (95% CI = 10.54–17.57) in Asia', 'good', 'Laser iridotomy is also used to treat persons suspected of having primary angle closure in order to prevent the development of glaucoma, a condition in which the eye’s optic nerve is damaged, typically by fluid pressure buildup and, untreated, can result in permanent vision loss.\nThe best way to prevent an acute angle closure glaucoma attack is to get your eyes checked regularly, especially if you’re at high risk.

This is normally detoxified by endogenous glutathione. Overdose of paracetamol results in depletion of glutathione, allowing the intermediate metabolite to damage hepatocytes. The stages of paracetamol toxicity are as follows: Stage I (12-24 hr): Nausea, vomiting and cold sweats Stage II (24-48 hr): Clinical recovery with biochemical evidence of hepatorenal injury; elevation of hepatic transaminases to above 1 000 IU /1 is associated with serious hepatic damage Stage III (48-96 hr): Peak hepatotoxicity Stage IV (7-8 days): Recovery is heralded by return of consciousness and improvement in the hepatic function tests. Histological recovery may take up to 3 months. Death may occur within 2-7 days of ingestion. Overdosage is treated with N-acetylcysteine used orally within 16 hr after ingestion at doses indicated in Once hepatic failure occurs, the agent is contraindicated.

Both substitutions confer a pathogenic variant of FGFR3, which leads to a gain-of-function mechanism of FGFR3 and subsequent quantitative growth plate and cartilage defects seen in achondroplasia.GFR3 normal function is to slow the formation of bone by inhibiting the proliferation of chondrocytes in the proliferative zone of the physis of long bones. The genetic mutation of FGFR3 (p.Gly380Arg) results in a gain-of-function, constitutive activation of the receptor protein, and a significant decrease in endochondral bone formation via increased inhibition of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation.This process results in the clinical phenotypic features. There is associated increased mortality in childhood, likely due to FMS. The stenosis at the base of the skull can cause cervicomedullary myelopathy (compression of a portion of the brainstem and spinal cord that may cause central sleep apnea, difficulty walking, difficulty swallowing, weakness, numbness, and loss of bowel or bladder control).

Polymyxins (ie, polymyxin B and colistin) and certain tetracycline derivatives (ie, minocycline and tigecycline) are the main therapeutic options for extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter.'], Pathophysiology: While it is believed that several factors may contribute to the virulence potential of A. baumannii, one factor in particular, OmpA, a member of the Outer membrane proteins (OMPs), has been determined to contribute significantly to the disease causing potential of the pathogen. A. baumannii OmpA bind to the host epithelia and mitochondria, once bound to the mitochondria, OmpA induces mitochondrial dysfunction and causes the mitochondria to swell. This is followed by the release of cytochrome c, a heme protein, which leads to the formation of apoptosome. These reactions all contribute to apoptosis of the cell.OmpA, being the most abundant surface protein on the pathogen, is also involved in resistance to complement and the formation of biofilms—two key stress survival strategies and potentially important virulence associated factors that help to promote bacterial survival both inside and outside the host. The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilms allows it to grow persistently in unfavorable conditions and environments. Indeed, A. baumannii has been shown to form biofilms on abiotic surfaces, which can include glass and equipment used in intensive care units, and/or on biotic surfaces such as epithelial cells. The most common factors that control biofilm formation can include nutrient availability, the presence of pili and outer membrane proteins and macromolecular secretions. Pili assembly and production of biofilm-associated protein (BAP) both contribute to the initiation of biofilm production and maturation after A. baumannii attach to particular surfaces.When pili attach to abiotic surfaces, they initiate the formation of microcolonies, followed by the full development of biofilm structures. BAP are present on the surface of bacterial cells and they contribute to biofilm development and maturation by stabilizing the mature biofilm on abiotic or biotic surfaces. Environmental signals, such as metal cations, also play a role in controlling the formation of biofilms, increasing the ability of A. baumannii to adhere to particular surfaces ., Epidemiology:['Careful attention to infection control procedures, such as hand hygiene and environmental cleaning, can reduce the risk of transmission.'], Complications:['Meningitis', 'VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA'], Diagnostics:['BLOOD CULTURE test', 'Protein'], Differential diagnosis:['nosocomial pneumonia', 'Pseudomonas infection', 'wound infection'], disease description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacillus that is aerobic, pleomorphic and non-motile.

Patients are febrile with leukocytosis, Other antibiotics causing it include co-trimoxazole, doxycycline, ofloxacin, and chloramphenicol.Steroid acne presents as monomorphous papulopustules located mainly on the trunk and extremities, with less involvement of the face. Characteristically,  lesions appear after the administration of systemic corticosteroids. Topical corticosteroids may also cause acneiform eruption over skin under which the topical preparation is applied or in around the nose or mouth in the case of inhaled steroids.Occupational acneDue to occupational exposure from Chloracne. Chloraphthalene, chlorophenyl (used as conductors and insulator), and chlorophenols (used as insecticide and fungicide) can cause acneiform eruptions. Lesions are mainly comedones without inflammation. Exposure by inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact of contaminated compounds or foods induces a cutaneous eruption of polymorphous comedones and cysts which is called as chloracne. Associated skin findings include xerosis, and pigmentary changes are also seen. Internal organs like eyes, central nervous system and liver may also be affected. Some chloracnegens can be oncogenic.Chemicals that contain iodides, bromides, and other halogens can also induce an acneiform eruption similar to steroid acne, but iodide-induced eruption are more severe. All patients should be investigated for ophthalmic, neurologic, hepatic, and lipoprotein abnormalities.Chemical acneChemical like heavy oils, waxes, cutting oils, heavy coal tar derivatives like pitch and creosote, vegetable oil in cosmetics, and cheap pomade oils causes acneiform eruptions.Mechanical acnePressure and friction induce acneiform eruptions over the neck of violin players, under arm bands, bra straps and in orthopedic cases prolonged immobilization.Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a disease of allergic hypersensitivity.

Microscopically, it consists of elongated spindle cells with rod-shaped nuclei lying in rows or palisades. Bilateral tumours are seen in patients with neurofibromatosis.The tumour almost always arises from the Schwann cells of the vestibular, but rarely from the cochlear division of VIIIth nerve within the internal auditory canal. As it expands, it causes widening and erosion of the canal and then appears in the cerebellopontine angle. Here, it may grow anterosuperiorly to involve Vth nerve or inferiorly to involve the IXth, Xth and XIth cranial nerves. In later stages, it causes displacement of brainstem, pressure on cerebellum and raised intracranial tension. The growth of the tumour is extremely slow and the history may extend over several years. Depending on the size, the tumour is classified as: 1. Intracanalicular (when it is confined to internal auditory canal) 2. Small size (up to 1.5 cm) 3. Medium size (1.5–4 cm) 4.

Despite reports of a variety of preceding infections, it is not clear that these infections directly cause AGL. The classic complement pathway is postulated to be involved in the pathogenesis among AGL patients with autoimmune hepatitis and low serum complement . Antibody-mediated destruction or cell-mediated lysis of adipocytes has also been considered. The consequences are that there is an insufficient mass of adipose tissue to store excess energy, which is stored instead as triglyceride in the liver and skeletal muscle, and that there is a perpetual elevation of plasma free fatty acid (FFA), resulting in an impaired ß-cell response to glucose and insulin resistance. Low serum leptin and adiponectin levels, reflecting the low amount of body fat in these patients, may further contribute to severe insulin resistance and the metabolic complications observed in AGL., Epidemiology:['Acquired forms of lipodystrophy are often triggered by an infection or autoimmune condition.

Approximately 80–90% of APL patients have a serum immunoglobulin G named C3 nephritic factor. This blocks the degradation of the enzyme C3 convertase, which leads to excessive consumption of C3. As a result, serum C3 levels are low in more than 80% of APL patients. Levels of C1q, C4, C5 and C6 and factors B and P are usually normal, suggesting selective activation of the alternative complement pathway. Lysis of adipocytes may be related to the expression of several complement proteins such as factors D (adipsin), B, H and P. For example, in vitro studies suggest that the C3 nephritic factor causes lysis in adipocytes expressing factor D. Heterogenecity of factor D expression in adipose tissue in different anatomical locations has been postulated to explain the selective loss of upper body fat in APL., Epidemiology:['3.07 cases/million', '1 in 1 million people overall.', 'bad', 'You can’t prevent genetic forms of lipodystrophy because it’s the result of a genetic mutation that’s inherited.

Disease Name: Acropustulosis, symptoms: ['skin over the distal phalanx becomes red and scaly, and pustules develop', 'nail folds and nail bed may be involved, leading to nail dystrophy', 'proximal edge of the lesion is bordered by a fringe of undermined epidermis, irregular, often sodden and sometimes preceded by a line of vesiculopustules.', 'nail plate may be completely destroyed', 'Itching of the skin', 'PUSTULE'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Cyclosporine/Ciclosporine', 'Tacrolimus ', 'Adalimumab ', 'Calcipotriol', 'Acitretin']}, 'First line \n• Super-potent topical corticosteroid ± occlusion\n Second line \n• Acitretin\n• Ciclosporin\n Third line \n• Adalimumab'], Pathophysiology: The features are similar to those of generalized pustular psoriasis. In the epidermis, there are numerous subcorneal neutrophilic pustules and spongiform pustules with hypergranulosis and parakeratotic hyperkeratosis. There is a lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis, which in chronic disease may become atrophic. Genetics: IL36RN has been sequenced in nine Europeans with acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. Two unrelated patients were found to have mutations (homozygous p.Ser113Leu in one and compound heterozygote p.Arg35Trp/p.Ser113Leu in the other). A Lebanese man with acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau has been reported in whom a mutation in IL36RN was detected (homozygous p.Ser113Leu). His sister who had generalized pustular psoriasis (von Zumbusch) without acral involvement had the same IL36RN mutation, supporting the view that acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau is a localized variant of generalized pustular psoriasis. Recently, germline mutations in AP1S3 were identified in four of seven unrelated individuals with acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau and subsequently a small number of patients with generalized pustular psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulosis. AP1S3 encodes the s1C subunit of the adaptor protein complex 1, which is involved in vesicular transport between the transgolgi network and endosomes. The functional significance of these mutations is yet to be established but may involve impaired TLR3 signalling., Epidemiology:['Try to keep your child from scratching their lesions.

The physical properties of the lips, such as their shape and being a transition area from oral mucosa to skin with thinner epithelium, less sebaceous glands, and less melanin, contribute to less protection and increased exposure to UV radiation. Chronic exposure to UV light damages tumor suppressor gene p53 resulting in uncontrolled replication of defective cells, which is a common gene mutation found with increasing frequency as actinic cheilitis and actinic keratoses undergo malignant transformation to SCC. Although actinic cheilitis can affect both the upper and lower oral cutaneous mucosa, more light from the sun hits the lower lip, making this area especially prone to sun damage and an increased number of skin cancers., Epidemiology:['The prevalence of actinic cheilitis was 31.3%', 'actinic cheilitis can undergo malignant transforma', 'The best way to prevent actinic cheilitis and SCC is to protect your lips from the sun’s harmful rays year-round:\n\nApply lip balm that contains sunscreen regularly.\nLimit time in the sun, especially when it’s at peak solar strength.\nWear a hat with a brim that shades your lips.\nPeople with actinic cheilitis should have routine checkups to detect any changes that could be early warning signs of cancer.

It occurs most often over the sun-exposed areas of the face, lips, hands and forearms, ears and neck.The normal collagen and elastic fibers in the skin are degraded by ultraviolet rays, with the fibroblast responding to photodamage by oversecreting new tropoelastin. This elastic tissue is hyperplastic but has lost its normal orderly appearance. This is accompanied by the action of matrix metalloproteinases which degrade the surrounding tissue.The disruption of collagen and elastic tissues in the dermis causes the normal cellular structure to be lost, with excessive deposition of residual material which eventually results in vasodilatation. The normal dermal architecture is thus lost in the damaged region., Epidemiology:['10.2% in females and 26.5% in males.', 'incidence of 1 : 1250 is seen', 'good', 'People with solar elastosis should minimise or avoid exposure to its known precipitants:\n\ncareful sun protection measures with clothing and broad-spectrum high-protection sunscreens\ndiscontinue smoking and avoid exposure to passive smoking.\nAblative and non-ablative laser treatments, dermal fillers, and neurotoxin injections (botulinum toxin) have been used in an attempt to improve the cosmetic appearance of solar elastosis.'], Complications:['melanoma', 'Actinic keratoses', 'Basal cell carcinoma'], Diagnostics:['HISTOLOGIC EXAMINATION', 'full thickness skin biopsy'], Differential diagnosis:['Basal cell carcinoma', 'colloid milium', 'Diffuse plane xanthomatosis', 'Pseudoxanthoma elasticum'], disease description:Actinic elastosis is another component of hypertrophic skin photodamage.

Several postulations have been put forward, a few of which include-1. O’BrienO’Brien’s Actinic hypothesis: Solar radiation is the initial trigger that selectively causes damage to the elastic tissue in the upper and mid-dermis. This degenerated tissue then becomes a target for an auto-immune cell-mediated response (predominantly CD4+ cells), that attempts to repair the damaged skin, but eventually leads to granulomatous inflammation instead. This theory is consistent with most of the findings seen in our patient- lesions in sun-exposed skin, improvement of lesions with stringent avoidance of sun exposure, fragmented elastic fibers ingested by giant cells, and presence of lymphocytes. 2. Inflammatory theory- arguably suggests that the elastic fiber destruction is caused by granulomatous inflammation itself, implying that inflammation is the inciting event; rather than actinic radiation.The four histopathologic variants-- Giant cell variant- Necrobiotic variant- Sarcoid variant- Histiocytic variant, Epidemiology:['GOOD', '- Sun-protective measures'], Complications:['conjunctivitis', 'orbital cellulitis', 'septicaemia', 'osteomyelitis', 'corneal ulceration', 'Lid abscess', 'Facial cellulitis and acute ethmoiditis'], Diagnostics:['X RAY ORBIT', 'CT SCAN', 'Nasal endoscopy', 'Dacryocystography', 'Fluorescein dye disappearance test (FDDT)'], Differential diagnosis:['Dacryoadenitis', 'granuloma annulare', 'Necrobiosis lipoidica', 'orbital cellulitis', 'periorbital cellulitis', 'Sebaceous cyst', 'sinusitis'], disease description:Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a rare, often self-limiting chronic inflammatory disorder mostly occurring in the sun-exposed areas such as the dorsum of hands, extensor surfaces of arms, face, anterior neck, and upper chest.

Arsenic metabolism in the body has a key role in most of these theories. Some such tested theories are as follows:Genetic polymorphism of enzymes involved in the metabolic pathway; arsenite methyltransferase (AS3MT) is the main mediator in the biomethylation of arsenic.Global DNA hypomethylation due to depletion of S-adenosylmethionine in cells during the process of arsenic biomethylation. This leads to aberrant gene expression in cells, resulting in carcinogenesis.Reactive oxygen species generated during the metabolism of arsenic causes oxidative DNA damage, resulting in chromosomal abnormalities and sister chromatic exchange., Epidemiology:['A greater incidence and prevalence of arsenic keratosis is reported from countries with documented environmental arsenic contamination, most commonly in groundwater.

Oral thalidomide or pentoxifylline may be tried'], Pathophysiology: The pathophysiology of actinic prurigo remains largely unclear. Still, evidence suggests the disease process is driven by a delayed type-IV hypersensitive response to ultraviolet A and B (UVA and UVB) radiation in genetically predisposed individuals. Both TH1 and TH2 lymphocytic processes have been implicated in the disease process. Multiple studies note the presence of eosinophils and mast cells in the dermal layers of involved tissue, which suggests a type-IVb (TH2)-driven response specifically. TH2 lymphocytes secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which promote IgE and IgG4 production by B cells. These immunoglobulins stimulate eosinophils and mast cells. Individuals with moderate to severe actinic prurigo have been found to have markedly elevated IgE levels, further supporting a type-IVb (TH2) hypersensitive reaction., Epidemiology:['rare', 'Actinic prurigo is a photodermatosis characterized', 'Minor cases of actinic prurigo can be treated with sun-avoidance alone.

The organism is not virulent and only invades the body to cause deeper infections when there is tissue injury and a subsequent break in the normal mucosal barrier. Infection is mostly polymicrobial, with as many as 5 to 10 other bacterial species present. The infection is established with the help of a companion bacteria by inhibiting host defenses, reducing oxygen tension, or by producing a toxin that facilitates the inoculation of actinomycoses.Once mucosal barriers are breached, and infection is established, the human host responds by initiating an intense inflammatory response which is suppurative and granulomatous. The infection does not respect tissue planes and spreads contiguously. This results in draining sinus tracts, tiny yellow clumps called sulfur granules, and the result may be intense fibrosis of tissue., Epidemiology:['Actinomycosis is commonly found between 4th to 6th decade of life and very rare in infants and children.', 'annual incidence of 1/300 000 and a disease death rate of 0–28%', 'good', 'You can reduce your risk of cervicofacial actinomycosis (the most common type) by taking care of your dental health.

At the age of 43, symptoms like ['vomiting', 'fever', 'fever', 'Abdominal Pain', 'constipation']
Disease Name: Acute Appendicitis, symptoms: ['vomiting', 'fever', 'fever', 'Abdominal Pain', 'constipation'], Treatment: ["Appendectomy is a surgery to remove the appendix. Appendectomy can be performed as open surgery using one abdominal cut about 2 to 4 inches long. This is called laparotomy. The surgery also can be done through a few small abdominal cuts. This is called laparoscopic surgery. During a laparoscopic appendectomy, the surgeon places special tools and a video camera into your abdomen to remove your appendix.\n\nIn general, laparoscopic surgery allows you to recover faster and heal with less pain and scarring. It may be better for older adults and people with obesity.\n\nBut laparoscopic surgery isn't right for everyone. You may need an open appendectomy if your appendix has ruptured and infection has spread beyond the appendix, or you have an abscess. An open appendectomy allows your surgeon to clean the abdominal cavity.", 'OPEN APPENDECTOMY & Laproscopic appendectomy'], Pathophysiology: Obstruction of the appendiceal lumen is believed to be an important step in the development of appendicitis— at least in some cases. Here, obstruction leads to bacterial overgrowth and luminal distension, with an increase in intraluminal pressure that can inhibit the flow of lymph and blood. Then, vascular thrombosis and ischemic necrosis with perforation of the distal appendix may occur. Therefore, perforation that occurs near the base of the appendix should raise concerns about another disease process. Most patients who will perforate do so before they are evaluated by surgeons. Appendiceal fecaliths (or appendicoliths) are found in ~50% of patients with gangrenous appendicitis who perforate but are rarely identified in those who have simple disease. As mentioned earlier, the incidence of perforated, but not simple, appendicitis is increasing. The rate of perforated and nonperforated appendicitis is correlated in men but not in women. Together these observations suggest that the underlying pathophysiologic processes are different and that simple appendicitis does not always progress to perforation. It appears that some cases of simple acute appendicitis may resolve spontaneously or with antibiotic therapy with limited risk of recurrent disease. The use of antibiotics to treat uncomplicated appendicitis is currently being studied intensively. Preliminary data indicate that as many as 70% of patients who present with uncomplicated appendicitis based on computed tomography (CT) and who are treated with antibiotics alone will be free of recurrent disease for at least a year. These findings highlight the importance of clinical decision-making and risk assessment when deciding and discussing treatment options with patients who presumably have simple disease, for example, deciding who is an appropriate candidate for non-operative management and who is not. The latter is especially pertinent given the difficulty in assessing which patients might progress to perforation and which will not. Increasingly it appears that there are two broad categories of patients with appendicitis—those with complicated disease like gangrene or perforation and those without. When perforation occurs, the resultant leak may be contained by the omentum or other surrounding tissues to form an abscess. Free perforation normally causes severe peritonitis. These patients may also develop infective suppurative thrombosis of the portal vein and its tributaries along with intrahepatic abscesses. , Epidemiology:['~100 per 100,000 person- years', '233 per 100,000 population per year, with a lifetime incidence risk ranging from 6.7 to 8.6%', 'EXCELLENT', 'There’s no proven way to prevent appendicitis.

Haem arginate is more effective when\ngiven earlier during an attack, increasing the importance of early\ndiagnosis. Advice from a specialist centre should be sought when\ntreating an acute attack.'], Pathophysiology: Impaired activity of PBG deaminase is associated with acute attacks. The deficiency can be primary (as in AIP) or secondary, the latter being due to inhibition of the enzyme by accumulated coproporphyrinogen and protoporphyrinogen (as in HC and VP). In the liver, haem is mostly incorporated into cytochrome P450 proteins, whose production is induced by many of the drugs and hormones metabolized by the P450 system. When a drug or hormone induces cytochrome P450, and hence acutely increases the hepatic requirement for haem, the inability of the pathway to respond adequately because of the PBG deaminase deficiency is exposed. This acute hepatic haemdeficiency in turn causes secondary accumulation of ALA and increased ALA synthase activity due to loss of end-product negative feedback. The symptoms of the acute attack result from neuronal dysfunction, the pathogenesis of which is not fully understood. Postulated mechanisms include disturbed metabolism of neurotransmitters (due to reduced activity of haem-containing hepatic tryptophan dioxygenase), direct neurotoxicity of accumulated ALA (which structurally resembles the neurotransmitter ?-aminobutyric acid) and acute haem deficiency within neurons., Epidemiology:['1–2 per 100 000 inhabitants', 'around 10% to 20%', 'good', 'Because genetic mutations cause most types of porphyria, the disorder can’t be prevented.

Irrigation of conjunctival sac with sterile warm\nsaline once or twice a day will help by removing the deleterious material'], Pathophysiology: Pathological changes of bacterial conjunctivitis consist of: 1. Vascular response. It is characterised by congestion and increased permeability of the conjunctival vessels associated with proliferation of capillaries. 2. Cellular response. It is in the form of exudation of polymorphonuclear cells and other inflammatory cells into the substantia propria of conjunctiva as well as in the conjunctival sac. 3. Conjunctival tissue repsonse. Conjunctiva becomes oedematous. The superficial epithelial cells degenerate, become loose and even desquamate. There occurs proliferation of basal layers of conjunctival epithelium and increase in the number of mucin-secreting goblet cells. 4. Conjunctival discharge. It consists of tears, mucus, inflammatory cells, desquamated epithelial cells, fibrin and bacteria. If the inflammation is very severe, diapedesis of red blood cells may occur and discharge may become blood stained. Severity of pathological changes varies depending upon the severity of inflammation and the causative organism. The changes are thus more marked in purulent conjunctivitis than mucopurulent conjunctivitis.Common variants include-Acute bacterial conjunctivitisIs the most common form of bacterial conjunctivitisIn children is often caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Moraxella catarrhalisIs typically self-limited within 1–2 weeks, but topical antibiotic therapy may reduce the duration of diseaseHyperacute bacterial conjunctivitisIs a very rare and severe type of conjunctivitis with rapid onset and progression, as well as severe symptoms, including massive exudate, severe chemosis, eyelid swelling, marked hyperemia, pain, and decreased visionCaused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidisRequires both parenteral and topical antibiotic therapyCan progress to corneal infiltrates, melting and perforation and vision loss if not treated promptly by an ophthalmologistChronic bacterial conjunctivitisDefined as symptoms lasting for at least 4 weeksCommon causes include by Staphylococcus aureus or Moraxella lacunataOften occurs with blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid), which can cause flaky debris and warmth along the lidPeople with this condition should see an ophthalmologist, Epidemiology:nan, Complications:['blepharitis', 'blindness', 'superficial keratitis', 'superficial punctate epitheliopathy', 'marginal corneal ulceration'], Diagnostics:['NEUTROPHILS', 'conjunctival swab'], Differential diagnosis:['EPISCLERITIS', 'SCLERITIS'], disease description:Acute bacterial conjunctivitis is characterised by marked conjunctival hyperaemia and mucopurulent discharge from the eye.

Under the influence of estrogen, the normal vaginal epithelium cornifies, making it somewhat resistant to infectious agents. The endocervix is lined by columnar epithelium which is susceptible to infectious agents leading to cervicitis.Gonococcal cervicitis results after the exposure of the cervix to N. gonorrhea in seminal fluid during sexual intercourse. N. gonorrhea infectivity is facilitated by type IV pilus-mediated motility of the bacterium. In the presence of seminal fluid, the bacterial motility is characterized by high velocity, low directional persistence and enhanced microcolony formation. Once the pili are attached, local inflammation results from the release of neutrophilic cytokines, leading to purulent or mucopurulent discharge.C. trachomatis infection is often associated with intense lymphocytic and neutrophilic inflammatory reactions in the affected areas, and is occasionally associated with follicular aggregation of lymphocytes. The chronic course of chlamydial cervicitis is associated with low content of cytokines, mainly IL-1a, IL-1ß, and TNFa, and an elevated concentration of IL-8 in the pathogenesis.Inflammation and ulceration of the ectocervix is evident in herpetic cervicitis., Epidemiology:nan, Complications:['ectopic gestation', 'Premature rupture of membranes', 'infertility', 'CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN'], Diagnostics:['Complete Blood Count CBC', 'Gram Staining', 'PAP SMEAR', 'LESION TISSUE HISTOLOGY', 'USG'], Differential diagnosis:['ACUTE PID', 'Cystitis', 'Endometrial cancer', 'ENDOMETRITIS', 'gonorrhoea', 'vaginitis'], disease description:Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, the lower, narrow end of the uterus that opens into the vagina.

CRS is usually due to on-target effects induced by binding of the bispecific antibody or CAR T cell receptor to its antigen and subsequent activation of bystander immune cells and non-immune cells, such as endothelial cells. Activation of the bystander cells results in the massive release of a range of cytokines. We know little about how the initial activation of CAR T cells results in the distortion of the cytokine network that drives the inflammatory process in CRS. Depending on a number of characteristics of the host, the tumor, and the therapeutic agent the administration of T cell-engaging therapies can set off an inflammatory circuit that overwhelms counter-regulatory homeostatic mechanisms and results in a cytokine storm that can have detrimental effects on the patient., Epidemiology:['18.5%', '42–100%, and 0–46% of patients develop severe CRS after CAR T-cell infusion', 'bad', 'It’s not possible to prevent CRS as a result of infection.

Infection is spread through contaminated food or drinking-water, or from person-to-person as a result of poor hygiene. Infection: Diarrhoea is a symptom of infections caused by a host of bacterial, viral and parasitic organisms, most of which are spread by faeces-contaminated water. Infection is more common when there is a shortage of adequate sanitation and hygiene and safe water for drinking, cooking and cleaning. Rotavirus and Escherichia coli, are the two most common etiological agents of moderate-to-severe diarrhoea in low-income countries. Other pathogens such as cryptosporidium and shigella species may also be important. Location-specific etiologic patterns also need to be considered.Malnutrition: Children who die from diarrhoea often suffer from underlying malnutrition, which makes them more vulnerable to diarrhoea. Each diarrhoeal episode, in turn, makes their malnutrition even worse. Diarrhoea is a leading cause of malnutrition in children under five years old.Source: Water contaminated with human faeces, for example, from sewage, septic tanks and latrines, is of particular concern. Animal faeces also contain microorganisms that can cause diarrhoea.Other causes: Diarrhoeal disease can also spread from person-to-person, aggravated by poor personal hygiene. Food is another major cause of diarrhoea when it is prepared or stored in unhygienic conditions. Unsafe domestic water storage and handling is also an important risk factor. Fish and seafood from polluted water may also contribute to the disease., Epidemiology:['525,000 children under-5 years die due to diarrhea every year, roughly 2195 every day [1]. This represents 8% of all deaths and is the second leading cause of death among children under-5 years old', 'Globally, there are nearly 1.7 billion cases of childhood diarrhoeal disease every year', 'DEPENDS ON SEVERITY OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS', 'There are a few ways you can decrease your chances of having diarrhea, including:\n\n1. Avoiding infections with good hygiene habits: Washing your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, as well as cooking, handling, and eating, is an important way to prevent diarrhea. \n\n2. Getting your vaccinations: Rotavirus, one of the causes of diarrhea, can be prevented with the rotavirus vaccine. \n\n3. Storing food properly: By keeping your food stored at the right temperatures, not eating things that have gone bad, cooking food to the recommended temperature and handling all foods safely, you can prevent diarrhea.\n\n4. Watching what you drink when you travel: Traveler’s diarrhea can happen when you drink water or other drinks that haven’t been treated correctly. This is most likely to happen in developing countries. To avoid getting diarrhea there are a few tips to follow. Watch what you drink. Don’t drink tap water, use ice cubes, brush your teeth with tap water, or consume unpasteurized milk, milk products or unpasteurized juices.\n\n5. You should also be careful when trying local foods from street vendors, eating raw or undercooked meats (and shellfish), as well as raw fruits and vegetables.

In this reaction, the immune system, instead of fighting off the infection, causes inflammation in the central nervous system. Inflammation is defined as the body's complex biological response to harmful stimuli, such as infectious agents, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammation is a protective attempt to remove the injurious stimuli and initiate the healing process. In the case of ADEM, the immune response is also responsible for demyelination, a process in which the myelin that covers many nerve fibers is stripped off.Molecular mimicry induced by infectious exposure or vaccine has been thought to trigger production of CNS autoantigens, although causality has never been proven. Many patients experience a transient febrile illness in the month prior to ADEM onset. Preceding infections associated with ADEM include influenza, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella, enterovirus, measles, mumps, rubella, herpes simplex, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Postvaccination ADEM has been reported following immunizations for rabies, smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, Japanese encephalitis B, pertussis, diphtheria–polio–tetanus, and influenza, although the risk of ADEM postvaccination is significantly lower than following the infection itself., Epidemiology:['1 in 125,000-250,000 individuals affected by ADEM each year', 'incidence ranges from 0.1-0.6 per 100,000 per year', 'GOOD', 'Because the exact cause isn’t clear, there’s no known prevention method.\n\nAlways report neurological symptoms to your doctor.

Disease Name: Acute Endometritis, symptoms: ['fever', 'Excessive bleeding', 'Vaginal Discharge', 'pelvic pain'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid ', 'Doxycycline ', 'Levofloxacin ']}, 'Doxycycline 100 mg every 12 hours + metronidazole 500 mg every 12 hours. Doxycycline is not contraindicated in breastfeeding mothers if its use is for less than three weeks.\nLevofloxacin 500 mg every 24 hours + metronidazole 500 mg every 8 hours. Levofloxacin should be avoided in breastfeeding mothers.\nAmoxicillin-clavulanate 875 mg/125 mg every 12 hours.'], Pathophysiology: Endometritis results from the ascension of bacteria from the cervix and vagina into the uterus. The uterus does not harbour microorganisms until the amniotic sac ruptures, which thus provides passage for bacteria to ascend into the uterus. Microorganisms tend to harbour in an endometrium that is then devitalized and injured (such as in case of a caesarean section or uterine surgery). In any pelvic procedure, if proper asepsis is not maintained or if the woman has an untreated vaginal infection prior to a pelvic intervention such as dilatation, curettage, or endometrial aspiration, then the risk of endometritis is higher.Acute infections can be caused by both aerobes and anaerobes. Post-caesarean section endometritis is generally due to Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus infection. Chlamydia endometritis has a late presentation and generally manifests seven days after delivery. Acute Endometritis is characterized in histopathology by micro-abscesses in the endometrium and presence of neutrophils in the superficial epithelium and in the lumen of the glands of the endometrium. Group A streptococcus endometritis presents with pain, diarrhoea and vaginal discharge, and may progress to sepsis, toxic shock and necrotising fasciitis. Therefore, these patients should be treated with utmost care. , Epidemiology:['PID most commonly affects younger adults and teenagers, 15 to 29 years of age.', 'there is an incidence of 1% to 2%. Risk factors, however, can increase this rate to a 5% to 6% risk of infection following vaginal delivery.', 'GOOD', 'Since untreated STIs often cause endometritis, the best prevention is to:\n\nFollow safe sex practices (use condoms).\nTreat STIs promptly.\nGet regular screenings for STIs.\nEncourage your sexual partners to get regular screenings for STIs.\nPeople having a C-section should have antibiotics before the procedure to prevent infection.'], Complications:['peritonitis', 'septicaemia', 'THROMBOPHLEBITIS', 'Cervicitis', 'SALPINGITIS'], Diagnostics:['HISTOPATHLOGY', 'Total Leucocyte Count (TLC)', 'USG ABDOMEN(W/A)', 'NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION TEST NAAT'], Differential diagnosis:['appendicitis', 'DIVERTICULITIS', 'Ectopic pregnency', 'Endometriosis', 'Irritable Bowel Syndrome', 'Pelvic Inflamatory Disease', 'Urinary Tract Infection'], disease description:Endometritis is caused by an infection in the uterus. It can be due to chlamydia, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, or a mix of normal vaginal bacteria. It is more likely to occur after miscarriage or childbirth. Acute endometritis is caused by septic abortion, puerperal sepsis and acute gonorrhoea. In all three conditions, the other clinical features tend to overshadow the inflammation of the endometrium of the uterus.

A\nminimum or maximum treatment time has not been determined. Rare fatalities\nhave been reported. Complete recovery has been seen in days with resolution of\npleural effusions within the 4 wk treatment time.'], Pathophysiology: Eosinophilic lung disease, regardless of the stage of disease or etiology, shows mixed cellular infiltration of the alveoli and interstitial spaces with a predominance of eosinophils when transbronchial biopsy or open lung biopsy is performed. This may be accompanied by a fibrinous exudate with intact lung architecture. Other findings include eosinophilic microabscesses, a nonnecrotizing nongranulomatous vasculitis, and occasional multinucleated giant cells again without granuloma formation. Eosinophils are filled with numerous toxic granules. Evidence of eosinophil degranulation may be found by electron microscopy, biopsy, urine excretion, and BAL fluid. Most commonly, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, leukotriene E4 , other granule proteins, such as major basic protein, Charcot Leyden crystals, or proinflammatory cytokines, are identified and support the evidence that eosinophils are not only present but contributing to the disease process. A unique and dramatic presentation of the eosinophilic pneumonias is AEP. AEP mimics infectious pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome with its rapid onset and marked hypoxemia.  Although this disease has been labeled as idiopathic, there have been identifiable exposures (e.g., 1,1,1-trichloroethane or Scotchgard). Numerous reports link the onset of smoking tobacco, change in smoking frequency, reinitiation of smoking in young male adolescents or adults, and even massive secondary smoke exposure as critical associations with onset of AEP., Epidemiology:['0% to 2.5%', '0.54 cases per 100,000 population per year', 'GOOD', "Your ability to reduce your risk of developing eosinophilic pneumonia depends on what caused the condition.

It may be required for respiratory obstruction'], Pathophysiology: Epiglottitis is most frequently caused by infection, although caustic ingestion, thermal injury, and local trauma are important noninfectious etiologies. Infectious epiglottitis is a cellulitis of the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, and other adjacent tissues. It results from bacteremia and/or direct invasion of the epithelial layer by the pathogenic organism. The posterior nasopharynx is the primary source of pathogens in epiglottitis. Microscopic trauma to the epithelial surface (eg, mucosal damage during a viral infection or from food during swallowing) may be a predisposing factor. Less frequently, noninfectious conditions cause local burns or ecchymosis of the epiglottis and adjacent structures., Epidemiology:['People can take a number of measures to limit dryness and irritation to the vocal cords and help reduce the risk of laryngitis:\n\navoiding clearing the throat\ntaking steps to prevent upper respiratory tract infections, such as practicing good hygiene and avoiding contact with people who have contagious infections\nquitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke where possible\nlimiting or eliminating alcohol and caffeine intake, as these can increase the risk of dehydration\ntaking precautions to avoid reflux, such as avoiding eating late at night, not chewing gum, and elevating while sleeping'], Complications:['septicaemia'], Diagnostics:['X RAY NECK LATERAL', 'Indirect Laryngoscopy', 'Oral cavity examination'], Differential diagnosis:['ACUTE LARYNGO-TRACHEO-BRONCHITIS'], disease description:It is an acute inflammatory condition confined to supraglottic structures, i.e. epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds and arytenoids.

Antibiotics should be altered as culture sensitivities are identified by lab and adjusted to ensure completion of a 10-day course.\n\ncorticosteroids are to be used, the recommended course of treatment in adults is IV dexamethasone 4 to 10 mg as an initial bolus with a repeated IV dose of 4 mg every 6 hours along with close observation of the airway.'], Pathophysiology: It is an infectious process that leads to edema and increase in weight and mass of the epiglottis is more likely to cause symptoms in a child - the pliancy of the cartilage allows a ball-valve effect, where each inspiration pulls an edematous epiglottis over the laryngeal airway, causing symptoms. In adults, whose cartilages are stiffer, an isolated epiglottic infection and the resultant increase in epiglottic mass may be resisted by the more rigid laryngeal/epiglottic cartilage; but an infection that encompasses more of the tissues of the supraglottis, leading to edema, can lead to symptoms and an unstable airway.H. influenzae and other, infections of the epiglottis can lead to marked edema and swelling 0f the epiglottis and supraglottis of patients of any age. This edema can rapidly spread to adjacent structures leading to the rapid development of airway obstruction symptoms. While H. influenzae remains the most common pathogen in both adults and children, other organisms such as S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and beta-hemolytic Streptococcus sp. are important pathogens also in both adults and children. In immunocompromised patients, the list of potential causes is much longer and must include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as a litany of others, though the relative frequencies remain the same., Epidemiology:['the incidence in adults has remained stable.

Disease Name: Acute Ethmoid Sinusitis, symptoms: ['bad breath', 'post nasal drip', 'facial swelling', 'oedema of the lids', 'sore throat', 'nasal discharge', 'Pain'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Ephedrine ', 'Phenylephrine ']}, 'A nebulizer can treat many sphenoid sinusitis symptoms like postnasal drip or nasal congestion. They moisturize and provide relief from pain and irritation.

The endoscopic method aids better visualization and has faster healing and a higher success rate. Microscopic sphenoidotomy and balloon-assisted endoscopic sphenoidotomy are other methods to treat sphenoid sinusitis surgically. A sphenoidotomy aims to improve sinus drainage and reduce pressure on your optic nerve (which could cause vision problems). It can be done by removing bone or tissue, blocking the sinus openings, or widening them.'], Pathophysiology: The most common cause of acute sinusitis is an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) of viral origin. The viral infection can lead to inflammation of the sinuses that usually resolves without treatment in less than 14 days. If symptoms worsen after 3 to 5 days or persist for longer than 10 days and are more severe than normally experienced with a viral infection, a secondary bacterial infection is diagnosed. The inflammation can predispose to the development of acute sinusitis by causing sinus ostial blockage. Although inflammation in any of the sinuses can lead to blockade of the sinus ostia, the most commonly involved sinuses in both acute and chronic sinusitis are the maxillary and the anterior ethmoid sinuses. The anterior ethmoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses drain into the middle meatus, creating an anatomic area known as the ostiomeatal complex The nasal mucosa responds to the virus by producing mucus and recruiting mediators of inflammation, such as white blood cells, to the lining of the nose, which cause congestion and swelling of the nasal passages. The resultant sinus cavity hypoxia and mucus retention cause the cilia—which move mucus and debris from the nose—to function less efficiently, creating an environment for bacterial growth.If the acute sinusitis does not resolve, chronic sinusitis can develop from mucus retention, hypoxia, and blockade of the ostia. This promotes mucosal hyperplasia, continued recruitment of inflammatory infiltrates, and the potential development of nasal polyps. However, other factors can predispose to sinusitis , Epidemiology:['Approximately 6% to 7% of children with respiratory symptoms have acute rhinosinusitis. An estimated 16% of adults are diagnosed', '1 out of every 7 adults in the United States, with more than 30 million individuals diagnosed each year.', 'good', 'Do not smoke.

Several factors may influence the amount of mucus being produced and your frontal sinus’ ability to drain the mucus:VirusesThe common cold virus is the most frequent cause of acute frontal sinusitis. When you have a cold or flu virus, it increases the amount of mucus your sinuses produce. That makes them more likely to clog and become inflamed.BacteriaYour sinonasal cavity is filled with tiny hairs called cilia that help block organisms from entering the sinuses. These cilia aren’t 100 percent effective. Bacteria can still enter your nose and travel to the sinus cavities. A bacterial infection in the sinuses will often follow a viral infection, since it’s easier for bacteria to grow in the mucus-rich environment caused by a viral infection such as the common cold. Bacterial infections usually cause the most severe symptoms of acute sinusitis.Nasal polypsPolyps are abnormal growths in your body. Polyps in the frontal sinuses may block the sinuses from filtering air and increase the amount of mucus buildup.Deviated nasal septumPeople who have a deviated nasal septum can’t breathe equally through both sides of their nose. A lack of proper air circulation can cause inflammation if the tissues of the frontal sinuses become compromised., Epidemiology:['Approximately 6% to 7% of children with respiratory symptoms have acute rhinosinusitis.

Systemic therapy is rarely indicated.'], Pathophysiology: GEP has been classified as a T cell-related sterile neutrophilic inflammatory response (type IVd reaction). The activation, proliferation and migration of drug-specific cluster of differentiation (CD) 4 and CD8 T cells play an important role in the development of AGEP , as supported by the use of patch tests  and in vitro tests . It is supposed that drug-specific cytotoxic T cells and cytotoxic proteins such as granzyme B and perforin induce the apoptosis of keratinocytes, leading to subcorneal vesicles . Recently, it has also been shown that, besides in toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), granulysin is also expressed by CD4 and CD8 T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in different drug reactions including AGEP, suggesting that granulysin may also play a role in the pathogenesis of AGEP . Furthermore, in vitro tests have shown that drug-specific T cells in AGEP patients produced significantly more chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL8)/IL-8, a potent neutrophil chemotactic chemokine . CXCL8/IL-8 is thought to play a central role in the formation of pustules by recruitment of neutrophils. The increased levels of IL-17 and IL-22 as well as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in AGEP patients may also participate in the strong neutrophilic activity by the synergistic effect on the production of CXCL8/IL-8 and the prevention of apoptosis of the neutrophils . Recent studies also described a higher level of IL-17 expression by neutrophils, mast cells (MC), and macrophages, and a lower level by T cells, in AGEP patients, indicating that innate cells may also be involved in the pathogenesis of AGEP . Furthermore, a deficiency in the IL36-Ra in some AGEP patients seems to play a role, leading to the increased expression of various proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, IL-23, IL-17, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and CXCL8/IL-8, which can further enhance neutrophilic recruitment and activation., Epidemiology:['1–5 patients per million per year', 'bad', 'Primarily involves withdrawal of the causative medicine.\nPatients with AGEP should avoid re-exposure to the causative medicine.'], Complications:['toxic epidermal necrolysis', 'organ dysfunction'], Diagnostics:['CRP', 'EOSINOPHILS - ABSOLUTE COUNT', 'Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)', 'HISTOPATHLOGY', 'NEUTROPHILS'], Differential diagnosis:['infection', 'inflammation', 'neutrophilic dermatosis', "Stevens-Johnson's syndrome"], disease description:Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) (also known as pustular drug eruption and toxic pustuloderma) is a rare skin reaction that in 90% of cases is related to medication administration.

They can also irritate the gums.'], Pathophysiology: Pathophysiologically, gingivitis has been divided into initial, early, and established stages, and periodontitis has been indicated as the advanced stage.Initial LesionThis stage is characterized by an acute exudative inflammatory response, a raised gingival fluid flow, and the migration of neutrophils from the blood vessel of the subgingival plexus located in the gingival connective tissue to the gingival sulcus. An alteration of the matrix of the connective tissue located next to vessels results in the accumulation of fibrin in the area. The initial lesion is seen within four days of the initiation of plaque accumulation. There is a destruction of collagen caused by collagenase and other enzymes secreted by the neutrophils. About 5% to 10% of the connective tissue is occupied by the inflammatory infiltrate in this stageEarly LesionThe early lesion is consistent with delayed hypersensitivity. It usually appears after one week from the beginning of plaque deposition. In this stage, the clinical signs of gingivitis, such as redness and bleeding from the gingiva start appearing. The inflammatory cells that predominate in this lesion are lymphocytes accounting for 75% of the total, and macrophages. A small number of plasma cells are also seen. Along with the inflammatory infiltration that occupies 5% to 15% of the connective tissue of the gingival margin, there is loss of collagen in the affected area that reaches 60% to 70%. Furthermore, the local fibroblasts undergo a series of pathological changes, and the gingival fluid flow and the number of leukocytes migrating to the region continue to increase. Neutrophils and mononuclear cells are also increased in the junctional epithelium. The duration of the early lesion has not yet been determined, it can remain for more time than previously expectedThere is increased collagenolytic activity in this stage along with a rise in the number of macrophages, plasma cells, T and B lymphocytes. However, the predominant cells are plasma cells and B lymphocytes. In this stage, a small gingival pocket lined with a pocket epithelium is created. The lesion exhibits a high degree of organization. It has been suggested that the severity of gingivitis correlates with a growth in the B cells and plasma cells population, and a decrease in the number of T cells.An established lesion may follow two paths, it can either remain stable for months or years; or progress to a more destructive lesion, which appears to be related to a change in the microbial flora or infection of the gingiva. This stage has shown to be reversible after an effective periodontal therapy that results in an increase in the number of microorganisms associated with periodontal health that directly correlates with a reduction in the plasma cells and lymphocytes This stage is a transition to periodontitis. It is characterized by attachment loss that is irreversible. The inflammatory changes and the bacterial infection starts affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth and the surrounding structures such as gingival, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone resulting in their destruction and may eventually result in tooth loss., Epidemiology:['9-17% of children aged 3-11 years have gingivitis. At puberty, prevalence rises to 70-90%', 'good', 'You can reduce your risk for gingivitis with good oral hygiene:\n\nBrush thoroughly twice a day — once when you wake up and once before you go to bed.\nManage diabetes if you have it.\nDon’t smoke or use other tobacco products.\nFloss every day to remove bacteria between your teeth.\nLimit food and drinks containing alcohol and excess sugar.\nSee a dentist at least once a year for checkups, and more often if you have any symptoms.\nIf people in your family have gum disease, you may face a greater risk of developing it.

Symptoms reported by a 30-year-old: ['fatigue', 'hypertension', 'edema', 'hematuria', 'foamy urine', 'muscle cramps']
Disease Name: Acute Glomerulonephritis, symptoms: ['fatigue', 'hypertension', 'edema', 'hematuria', 'foamy urine', 'muscle cramps'], Treatment: ['High-dose corticosteroids,\nRituximab (a monoclonal antibody that causes the lysis of B-lymphocytes),\nCytotoxic agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, along with glucocorticoids are of value in severe cases of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis),\nPlasma exchange (glomerular proliferative nephritis, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis – used temporarily till chemotherapy takes effect)'], Pathophysiology: The underlying pathogenetic mechanism common to all of these different varieties of glomerulonephritis (GN) is immune-mediated, in which both humoral as well as cell-mediated pathways are active. The consequent inflammatory response, in many cases, paves the way for fibrotic events that follow.The targets of immune-mediated damage vary according to the type of GN. For instance, glomerulonephritis associated with staphylococcus shows IgA and C3 complement deposits.One of the targets is the glomerular basement membrane itself or some antigen trapped within it, as in post-streptococcal disease.[16] Such antigen-antibody reactions can be systemic, with glomerulonephritis occurring as one of the components of the disease process, such as in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or IgA nephropathy.On the other hand, in small vessel vasculitis, cell-mediated immune reactions are the main culprit instead of antigen-antibody reactions. Here, T lymphocytes and macrophages flood the glomeruli with resultant damage.These initiating events activate common inflammatory pathways, i.e., the complement system and coagulation cascade. The generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and complement products, in turn, results in the proliferation of glomerular cells. Cytokines such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are also released, ultimately causing glomerulosclerosis. This event is seen in those situations where the antigen is present for longer periods, for example, in hepatitis C viral infection. When the antigen is rapidly cleared, as in post-streptococcal GN, the resolution of inflammation is more likely., Epidemiology:['WHO estimates that 472,000 patients are affected globally with APSGN each year, and results in 5,000 deaths annually', 'Sporadic cases of acute nephritis often progress to a chronic form.

It is likely that aGvHD arises from a three-stage process: • First, toxicity from conditioning chemotherapy or radiotherapy causes tissue damage in the host, resulting in the release of numerous inflammatory cytokines, termed ‘a cytokine storm’.• Second, mature donor lymphocytes from the graft are recruited by these cytokines leading to activation and proliferation of donor lymphocytes when contact is made with host and donor antigen-presenting cells (APCs) expressing disparate host antigens (such as minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHC)). • Third, alloreactive T cells expand to form cytotoxic effector T cells that, in turn, induce further tissue injury and release more inflammatory cytokines. Acute GvHD often occurs 2–4 weeks after HSCT but can present any time after transplantation. Pruritus or a burning sensation can precede the skin eruption. Patients may report oral or genital ulceration. Profuse diarrhoea points to GI tract involvement, as do symptoms of nausea, anorexia, vomiting and abdominal pain. Cholestatic symptoms of pale urine, dark stools and right upper quadrant tenderness may also be reported., Epidemiology:['The incidence of chronic GVHD ranges from 6% to 80%', 'bad', "Tissue typing labs have been developing and using more precise DNA level tests to enable your BMT Team to select the best HLA matched donor for you.\nWe try to lower your risk of developing GvHD by giving you preventive (prophylactic) medicines to suppress the immune system after your transplant.

A 19-year-old with ['Redness', 'fever', 'Tenderness', 'lymphadenopathy', 'malaise', 'sensation of warmth', 'swelling', 'severe pain']

The intraosseous pressure rises rapidly, causing intense pain, obstruction to blood flow and intravascular thrombosis. Even at an early stage, the bone tissue is threatened by impending ischaemia and resorption due to a combination of phagocytic activity and the local accumulation of cytokines, growth factors, prostaglandin and bacterial enzymes. By the second or third day, pus forms within the bone and forces its way along the Volkmann canals to the surface where it produces a subperiosteal abscess. This is much more evident in children, because of the relatively loose attachment of the periosteum, than in adults. From the subperiosteal abscess, pus can spread along the shaft, to re-enter the bone at another level or burst into the surrounding soft tissues. The developing physis acts as a barrier to direct spread towards the epiphysis, but where the metaphysis is partly intracapsular (e.g. at the hip, shoulder or elbow) pus may discharge through the periosteum into the joint. The rising intraosseous pressure, vascular stasis, small-vessel thrombosis and periosteal stripping increasingly compromise the blood supply; by the end of a week there is usually microscopic evidence of bone death. Bacterial toxins and leucocytic enzymes also may play their part in the advancing tissue destruction. With the gradual ingrowth of granulation tissue the boundary between living and devitalized bone becomes defined. Pieces of dead bone may separate as sequestra varying in size from mere spicules to large necrotic segments of the cortex in neglected cases. Macrophages and lymphocytes arrive in increasing numbers and the debris is slowly removed by a combination of phagocytosis and osteoclastic resorption. A small focus in cancellous bone may be completely resorbed, leaving a tiny cavity, but a large cortical or cortico-cancellous sequestrum will remain entombed, inaccessible to either final destruction or repair., Epidemiology:['8–10 per 100 000 in developed countries & up to 80 per 100 000, in developing countries.

Most cases of ALF (except acute fatty liver of pregnancy and Reye syndrome) will have massive hepatocyte necrosis and/or apoptosis leading to liver failure. Hepatocyte necrosis occurs due to ATP depletion causing cellular swelling and cell membrane disruption. The pathophysiology of cerebral edema and hepatic encephalopathy is seen in ALF is multi-factorial and includes altered blood-brain barrier (BBB) secondary to inflammatory mediators leading to microglial activation, accumulation of glutamine secondary to ammonia crossing the BBB and subsequent oxidative stress leading to depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). This ultimately leads to astrocyte swelling and cerebral edema., Epidemiology:['incidence of less than 10 cases per million population in the developed world.', 'poor', "Follow instructions on medications.

Disease Name: Acute Hepatitis, symptoms: ['decreased appetite', 'nausea', 'vomiting', 'Yellow skin discoloration', 'Abdominal Pain', 'yellow intensification in the colour of urine', 'clay coloured stool'], Treatment: [{'medication': ['Cholestyramine/Colestyramine']}, 'Supportive treatment for symptoms', 'Treatment with N-acetylcysteine is also recommended for all patients with acute liver failure except ischemic hepatitis, with or without evidence of acetaminophen overdose'], Pathophysiology: Under ordinary circumstances, none of the hepatitis viruses is known to be directly cytopathic to hepatocytes. Evidence suggests that the 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 12 24 36 48 60 120 Anti-HCV HCV RNA ALT Months after exposure clinical manifestations and outcomes after acute liver injury associated with viral hepatitis are determined by the immunologic responses of the host. Among the viral hepatitides, the immunopathogenesis of hepatitis B and C has been studied most extensively. Hepatitis B For HBV, the existence of inactive hepatitis B carriers with normal liver histology and function suggests that the virus is not directly cytopathic. The fact that patients with defects in cellular immune competence are more likely to remain chronically infected rather than to clear HBV supports the role of cellular immune responses in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B–related liver injury. The model that has the most experimental support involves cytolytic T cells sensitized specifically to recognize host and hepatitis B viral antigens on the liver cell surface. Nucleocapsid proteins (HBcAg and possibly HBeAg), present on the cell membrane in minute quantities, are the viral target antigens that, with host antigens, invite cytolytic T cells to destroy HBV-infected hepatocytes. Differences in the robustness and broad polyclonality of CD8+ cytolytic T cell responsiveness; in the level of HBV-specific helper CD4+ T cells; in attenuation, depletion, and exhaustion of virus-specific T cells; in viral T cell epitope escape mutations that allow the virus to evade T cell containment; and in the elaboration of antiviral cytokines by T cells have been invoked to explain differences in outcomes between those who recover after acute hepatitis and those who progress to chronic hepatitis, or between those with mild and those with severe (fulminant) acute HBV infection. Although a robust cytolytic T cell response occurs and eliminates virus-infected liver cells during acute hepatitis B, >90% of HBV DNA has been found in experimentally infected chimpanzees to disappear from the liver and blood before maximal T cell infiltration of the liver and before most of the biochemical and histologic evidence of liver injury. This observation suggests that components of the innate immune system and inflammatory cytokines, independent of cytopathic antiviral mechanisms, participate in the early immune response to HBV infection; this effect has been shown to represent elimination of HBV replicative intermediates from the cytoplasm and covalently closed circular viral DNA from the nucleus of infected hepatocytes. In turn, the innate immune response to HBV infection is mediated largely by natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, activated by immunosuppressive cytokines (e.g., interleukin [IL] 10 and transforming growth factor [TGF] ß), reduced signals from inhibitory receptor expression (e.g., major histocompatibility complex), or increased signals from activating receptor expression on infected hepatocytes. In addition, NK cells reduce helper CD4+ cells, which results in reduced CD8+ cells and exhaustion of the virus-specific T cell response to HBV infection. Ultimately, HBV-HLA–specific cytolytic T cell responses of the adaptive immune system are felt to be responsible for recovery from HBV infection. As noted above, precore genetic mutants of HBV have been associated with the more severe outcomes of HBV infection (severe chronic and fulminant hepatitis), suggesting that, under certain circumstances, relative pathogenicity is a property of the virus, not the host. Although the precise mechanism of liver injury in HBV infection remains elusive, studies of nucleocapsid proteins have shed light on the profound immunologic tolerance to HBV of babies born to mothers with highly replicative (HBeAg-positive), chronic HBV infection. In HBeAg-expressing transgenic mice, in utero exposure to HBeAg, which is sufficiently small to traverse the placenta, induces T cell tolerance to both nucleocapsid proteins. An important distinction should be drawn between HBV infection acquired at birth, common in endemic areas, such as East Asia, and infection acquired in adulthood, common in the West. Infection in the neonatal period is associated with the acquisition of what appears to be a high level of immunologic tolerance to HBV and absence of an acute hepatitis illness, but the almost invariable establishment of chronic, often lifelong infection., Epidemiology:['During 2020, 44 states reported 2,157 acute hepatitis B cases resulting in an estimated 14,000 infections.

The indications of CT scan are expanding and benefits of its early utilization are becoming more apparent .', 'Neostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that increases cholinergic (parasympathetic) activity, which can stimulate colonic motility.'], Pathophysiology: The normal physiology of the small intestine consists of the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients. The large bowel continues to aid in digestion and is responsible for vitamin synthesis, water absorption, and bilirubin breakdown. Any obstructive mechanism will hinder these physiologic components. Obstruction causes dilation of the bowel proximal to the transition point and collapses distally. A result of partial or complete blockage of digested products during obstruction is emesis. Frequent emesis can lead to fluid deficits and electrolyte abnormalities. As the condition is left untreated and worsens, a bowel wall edema forms, and third-spacing begins. A serious and life-threatening complication of bowel obstruction is strangulation. Strangulation is more commonly seen in closed-loop obstructions. If the strangulated bowel is not treated promptly, it eventually becomes ischemic, and tissue infarction occurs. Tissue infarction progresses to bowel necrosis, perforation, and sepsis/septic shock. , Epidemiology:['the prevalence of intestinal obstruction was 21.8 % and 4.8 % among patients admitted for acute abdomen surgery and total surgical admissions, respectively.

Photophobia is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve from the ciliary spasm.[38] Increased permeability of blood vessels in the anterior chamber allows proteinaceous transudate ("flare") and WBCs ("cells"), the characteristic 'flare and cells' seen with the slit lamp. In traumatic uveitis, there can be microbial contamination and retention of necrotic debris at the site of trauma, resulting from a florid inflammatory response in the anterior segment of the eye. In infectious uveitis, the pathophysiological mechanism is immune-mediated destruction of foreign antigens that may cause damage to the uveal tissue, vessels, and cells.[40] There is immune complex deposition inside the uveal tract in autoimmune uveitic conditions, a form of hypersensitivity reaction.Uveal inflammation behaves similarly to inflammation in other body tissues, i.e., having a vascular and cellular response. But due to excessive vascularity and looseness of uveal tissue, there is heightened vascular response. Pathophysiologically, the uveal inflammation is subdivided into purulent (suppurative) and nonpurulent (non-suppurative) types., Epidemiology:['121 per 100,000.', '25-52 cases per 100,000 persons per year.', 'Good', "There is not much you can do to prevent iritis.

If the patient needs to speak, the patient should be instructed to use a "confidential voice;" that is, a normal phonatory voice at low volume without whispering or projecting.\nSteam Inhalation: Inhaling humidified air enhances moisture of the upper airway and helps in the removal of secretions and exudates.\nAvoidance of irritants: Smoking and alcohol should be avoided. Smoking delays prompt resolution of the disease process.\nDietary modification: dietary restriction is recommended for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. This includes avoiding caffeinated drinks, spicy food items, fatty food, chocolate, peppermint. Another important lifestyle modification is the avoidance of late meals. The patient should have meals at least 3 hours before sleeping. The patient should drink plenty of water. These dietary measures have been shown to be effective in classic GERD, though their efficacy in LPR is disputed, they are often still employed.\n\nMedications: Antibiotics prescription for an otherwise healthy patient with acute laryngitis is currently unsupported; however for high-risk patients and patients with severe symptoms antibiotics may be given. .\nFungal laryngitis can be treated with the use of oral antifungal agents such as fluconazole. Treatment is usually required for three weeks period and may be repeated if needed.'], Pathophysiology: The infectious type is more common and usually follows upper respiratory infection. To begin with, it is viral in origin but soon bacterial invasion takes place with Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and haemolytic Streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus. Exanthematous fevers like measles, chickenpox and whooping cough are also associated with laryngitis. The noninfectious type is due to vocal abuse, allergy, thermal or chemical burns to larynx due to inhalation or ingestion of various substances, or laryngeal trauma such as endotracheal intubation. Laryngeal appearances vary with severity of disease. In early stages, there is erythema and oedema of epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoids and ventricular bands, but the vocal cords appear white and near normal and stand out in contrast to surrounding mucosa, betraying the degree of hoarseness patient has. Later, hyperaemia and swelling increase. Vocal cords also become red and swollen. Subglottic region also gets involved. Sticky secretions are seen between the cords and interarytenoid region. In case of vocal abuse, submucosal haemorrhages may be seen in the vocal cords., Epidemiology:['Yearly incidence has been reported in one study as 3.47 per 1,000; lifetime incidence is said to be up to 21%', 'GOOD', 'Though you can’t always prevent laryngitis, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk.

Treatment includes nebulized epinephrine, corticosteroids, and at least 3 hours of observation after the last dose of epinephrine. Supplemental oxygen via blow by or nasal cannula can also be used for hypoxic patients with croup.\n\nNebulized Epinephrine\n\nRacemic epinephrine 2.25% 0.05 mL/kg nebulized with a maximum of 5 mL or L-epinephrine 0.5 mL/kg nebulized with a maximum of 5 mL is reserved for moderate and severe croup. Admit patients requiring more than 1 to 2 doses of nebulized epinephrine in the emergency department.\n\nCorticosteroids\n\nRegardless of severity, all patients with croup benefit from oral steroids. Dexamethasone 0.15 mg/kg to 0.6 mg/kg by mouth with a maximum of 10 mg as a one-time dose is the typical dose (the intravenous dose can be given by mouth).\n\nObservation\n\nPatients with croup should be observed for a minimum of 3 hours after the completion of each dose of nebulized racemic epinephrine. Watch for worsening or recurrence of symptoms, including persistent stridor at rest, increased work of breathing, and hypoxia, during the observation period. Admit patients requiring more than one or two doses of nebulized epinephrine in the emergency department.\n\nHeliox\n\nSeveral trials have been conducted on helion in the management of croup, and the results are mixed. Overall, there is no harm from trying heliox because most anecdotal reports indicate that it helps ease breathing.\n\nIntubation\n\nIntubation is reserved for severe cases of croup not responding to medical treatment. The endotracheal tube size should be smaller than typical for the patient's age and size to avoid trauma to the already edematous airway."], Pathophysiology: Inhalation of the virus causing croup first infects the nasal and pharyngeal mucosal epithelia, then spreads to the subglottic space. For children 8 years and younger, the subglottic space is the most narrow part of the airway. The cricoid cartilage forms a complete cartilaginous ring that is nonexpanding. This inability of the cricoid to expand leads to a significant narrowing of the subglottic region secondary to the inflamed mucosa. When the child cries or becomes agitated, further dynamic obstruction can occur at and below the cartilaginous ring. These factors lead to the common high-pitched stridor heard at rest and when the patient becomes agitated. Extension into the bronchi, as occurs with laryngotracheobronchitis, can lead to wheezing, crackles, air trapping, and increased tachypnea; a clinical picture that can be confused with acute asthma., Epidemiology:['4 to 23 percent [', '3.47 per 1,000 people.', 'good', 'Croup can spread by physical contact or through the air.

It is unknown why only approximately 1–2% of patients with viral hepatitis experience liver failure. Massive destruction of hepatocytes might represent both a direct cytotoxic effect of the virus and an immune response to the viral antigens. Of patients with HBV-induced liver failure, – become negative for serum hepatitis B surface antigen within a few days of presentation and often have no detectable HBV antigen or HBV DNA in serum. These findings suggest a hyperimmune response to the virus that underlies the massive liver necrosis. Formation of hepatotoxic metabolites that bind covalently to macromolecular cell constituents is involved in the liver injury produced by drugs such as acetaminophen and isoniazid; acute hepatic failure can follow depletion of intracellular substrates involved in detoxification, particularly glutathione. Whatever the initial cause of hepatocyte injury, various factors can contribute to the pathogenesis of liver failure, including impaired hepatocyte regeneration, altered parenchymal perfusion, endotoxemia, and decreased hepatic reticuloendothelial function., Epidemiology:['HIGH MORTALITY 60-70%', "Follow instructions on medications. If you take acetaminophen or other medications, check the package insert for the recommended dosage, and don't take more than that.

Intensification (Consolidation) Therapy There is clear evidence that intensification has improved the longterm survival in patients with ALL, especially those with high-risk disease. Commonly used agents for intensification therapy include high dose methotrexate, L-asparaginase, epipodophyllotoxin, cyclophosphamide and cytarabine.'], Pathophysiology: Leukemia is a malignancy that arises from clonal proliferation of abnormal hematopoietic cells leading to disruption of normal marrow function leading to marrow failure. The clinical manifestations of leukemia are the result of the unregulated proliferation of the malignant clone and bone marrow failure. Genetic abnormalities found in the leukemic clone greatly impact the therapy and prognosis of ALL. Conventional cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization should be performed on the bone marrow specimen to look for common genetic alterations in ALL. The presence of hyperdiploidy (chromosome number >50, DNA index >1.16) is associated with good prognosis in contrast to the poor prognosis in patients with hypodiploidy. Specific chromosomal translocations in ALL, including t(8;14, associated with Burkitt leukemia) in B cell ALL, t(4;11) in infant leukemia and t(9;22) translocation, that forms the Philadelphia chromosome, are associated with a poor prognosis., Epidemiology:['3-4 cases per 100,000 children below 15 yr of age', 'POOR', 'No, it can’t.

Production of pus under tension. 2. Hyperaemic decalcification and osteoclastic resorption of bony walls. Extension of inflammatory process to mucoperiosteal lining of air cell system increases the amount of pus produced due to large surface area involved. Drainage of this pus, through a small perforation of tympanic membrane and/or eustachian tube, cannot keep pace with the amount being produced. Swollen mucosa of the antrum and attic also impede the drainage system resulting in accumulation of pus under tension. Hyperaemia and engorgement of mucosa causes dissolution of calcium from the bony walls of the mastoid air cells (hyperaemic decalcification). Both these processes combine to cause destruction and coalescence of mastoid air cells, converting them into a single irregular cavity filled with pus (empyema of mastoid). Pus may break through mastoid cortex leading to subperiosteal abscess which may even burst on surface leading to a discharging fistula., Epidemiology:['approximately 25%', 'Its incidence is variously reported in different countries, varying in pediatric age from1. 2 to 6.1 per 100,000 children aged 0-14 years, per year', 'GOOD', 'You may not be able to prevent mastoiditis, but there are things you can to do protect yourself and your child:\n\nThe pneumococcus bacteria causes several infections, including middle ear infections that can lead to mastoiditis.

Depending on the virulence of organisms, defenses of the host and capability of the sinus ostium to drain exudates, the disease may be mild (nonsuppurative) or severe (suppurative). Initially the exudates is serous; later it may become mucopurulent or purulent . Severe infections cause destruction of mucosal lining. Failure of the ostium to drain results in empyema of the sinus and destruction of its bony walls leading to complications. Dental infections are very fulminating and soon result in suppurative sinusitis. 1.Most commonly, it is viral rhinitis which spreads to involve the sinus mucosa. This is followed by bacterial invasion. 2. Diving and swimming in contaminated water. 3. Dental infections are important source of maxillary sinusitis. Roots of premolar and molar teeth are related to the floor of sinus and may be separated only by a thin layer of mucosal covering. Periapical dental abscess may burst into the sinus; or the root of a tooth, during extraction, may be pushed into the sinus. In case of oroantral fistula, following tooth extraction, bacteria from oral cavity enter the maxillary sinus. 4. Trauma to the sinus such as compound fractures, penetrating injuries or gunshot wounds may be followed by sinusitis., Epidemiology:['6% to 7% of children with respiratory symptoms have acute rhinosinusitis.

Prolonged myocardial ischemia activates a "wavefront" of cardiomyocyte death that extends from the subendocardium to the subepicardium. Mitochondrial alterations are prominently involved in apoptosis and necrosis of cardiomyocytes in the infarcted heart. The adult mammalian heart has negligible regenerative capacity, thus the infarcted myocardium heals through formation of a scar. Infarct healing is dependent on an inflammatory cascade, triggered by alarmins released by dying cells. Clearance of dead cells and matrix debris by infiltrating phagocytes activates anti-inflammatory pathways leading to suppression of cytokine and chemokine signaling. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and release of transforming growth factor-ß induce conversion of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, promoting deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. Infarct healing is intertwined with geometric remodeling of the chamber, characterized by dilation, hypertrophy of viable segments, and progressive dysfunction. This review manuscript describes the molecular signals and cellular effectors implicated in injury, repair, and remodeling of the infarcted heart, the mechanistic basis of the most common complications associated with myocardial infarction, and the pathophysiologic effects of established treatment strategies. Moreover, we discuss the implications of pathophysiological insights in design and implementation of new promising therapeutic approaches for patients with myocardial infarction., Epidemiology:['Acute myocardial infarctions are one of the leading causes of death in the developed world, with prevalence approaching three million people worldwide', '64.37/1000', 'variable', 'In general, there are many things that you can do that may prevent a heart attack.

These factors have been shown to impair the host immune response, which facilitates bacterial pathogenicity. Psychological stress reduces the gingival microcirculation and salivary flow and increases adrenocortical secretions, which can modify the function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes. This alters the immune response as well as the patient's behavior and mood, resulting in insufficient oral hygiene, malnutrition, and increased tobacco consumption.

Studies have shown that second-hand smoking increases the likelihood of ear infections. Be sure no one smokes in the house or car — especially when children are present — or at your day care facility.\nControl allergies. Inflammation and mucus caused by allergic reactions can block the eustachian tube and make ear infections more likely.\nPrevent colds. Reduce your child's exposure to colds during the first year of life. Don’t share toys, foods, drinking cups or utensils. Wash your hands frequently. Most ear infections start with a cold. If possible, try to delay the use of large day care centers during the first year.\nBreastfeed your baby. Breastfeed your baby during the first 6 to 12 months of life. Antibodies in breast milk reduce the rate of ear infections.\nBottle feed baby in upright angle. If you bottle feed, hold your baby in an upright angle (head higher than stomach). Feeding in the horizontal position can cause formula and other fluids to flow back into the eustachian tubes. Allowing an infant to hold his or her own bottle also can cause milk to drain into the middle ear. Weaning your baby from a bottle between nine and 12 months of age will help stop this problem.\nWatch for mouth breathing or snoring. Constant snoring or breathing through the mouth may be caused by large adenoids. These may contribute to ear infections. An exam by an otolaryngologist, and even surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy), may be necessary.\nGet vaccinations. Make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date, including yearly influenza vaccine (flu shot) for those 6 months and older. Ask your doctor about the pneumococcal, meningitis and other vaccines too.

Patient should also be advised of lifestyle and dietary modifications which include weight loss, elevating the head end of bed (patient with nocturnal symptoms of cough, hoarseness, sore throat), elimination of some dietary triggers such as fatty food, chocolate, carbonated drinks, spicy food, smoking, and alcohol. If the etiology is medication-induced esophagitis, the medication should be stopped if possible and if necessary then should be switched to any other alternatives. The patient should be instructed to take pills with 4 oz of water and remain upright for 30 min after taking the pills. For eosinophilic esophagitis treatment include acid suppression, topical or systemic steroids either topical budesonide or fluticasone and dietary modification if a food allergy is suspected. If etiology is infectious, target therapy is indicated. For C. Albicans, oral fluconazole is the drug of choice. For HSV esophagitis, treatment is oral or intravenous acyclovir and Foscarnet for those who are non-responders. CMV esophagitis is treated with Gancyclovir or Valganciclovir.

Others are Streptococcus and Pneumococcus. These organisms reach the bone via the blood circulation. Primary focus of infection is generally not detectable.The bacteria, as they pass through the bone, get lodged in the metaphysis. Lower femoral metaphysis is the commonest site. The other common sites are the upper tibial, upper femoral and upper humeral metaphyses.  The host bone initiates an inflammatory reaction in response to the bacteria. This leads to bone destruction and production of an inflammatory exudate and cells (pus). Once sufficient pus forms in the medullary cavity, it spreads in the following directions. a) Along the medullary cavity- Blood supply to a segment of the bone is thus cut off. b) Out of the cortex: Pus travels along Volkmann’s canals and comes to lie sub-periosteally. A segment of bone is thus rendered avascular (sequestrum). c) In other directions: The epiphyseal plate is resistant to the spread of pus.

This is marked by formation of pus in the middle ear and to some extent in mastoid air cells. Tympanic membrane starts bulging to the point of rupture. Symptoms. Earache becomes excruciating. Deafness increases, child may run fever of 102–103 °F. This may be accompanied by vomiting and even convulsions. Signs. Tympanic membrane appears red and bulging with loss of landmarks. Handle of malleus may be engulfed by the swollen and protruding tympanic membrane and may not be discernible. A yellow spot may be seen on the tympanic membrane where rupture is imminent. 4. Stage of Resolution. The tympanic membrane ruptures with release of pus and subsidence of symptoms. Inflammatory process begins to resolve.

Trypsin then activates other pancreatic proenzymes, leading to autodigestion, further enzyme activation, and release of active proteases. Lysosomal hydrolases colocalize with pancreatic proenzymes within the acinar cell. Pancreastasis (similar in concept to cholestasis) with continued synthesis of enzymes occurs. Lecithin is activated by phospholipase A2 into the toxic lysolecithin. Prophospholipase is unstable and can be activated by minute quantities of trypsin. After the insult, cytokines and other proinflammatory mediators are released. The healthy pancreas is protected from autodigestion by pancreatic proteases that are synthesized as inactive proenzymes; digestive enzymes that are segregated into secretory granules at pH 6.2 by low calcium concentration, which minimizes trypsin activity; the presence of protease inhibitors both in the cytoplasm and zymogen granules; and enzymes that are secreted directly into the ducts. Histopathologically, interstitial edema appears early. Later, as the episode of pancreatitis progresses, localized and confluent necrosis, blood vessel disruption leading to hemorrhage, and an inflammatory response in the peritoneum can develop.

Disease Name: Acute Paronychia, symptoms: ['swelling at nail fold', 'redness at nail fold', 'tenderness at nail fold', 'local pain'], Treatment: ['Paronychias are usually either treated with incision and drainage or antibiotics. If there is inflammation with no definite abscess, treatment can include warm soaks with water or antiseptic solutions (chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine) and antibiotics. Warm soaks should be for 10 to 15 minutes, multiple times a day. There is not strong evidence recommending topical vs. oral antibiotics, and this may be physician-dependent based on experience. Antibiotic used should have staph aureus coverage. Topical antibiotics used may be a triple antibiotic ointment, bacitracin, or mupirocin. In patients failing topical treatment or more severe cases, oral antibiotics are an option; dicloxacillin (250mg four times a day) or cephalexin (500mg three to four times a day). Indications for antibiotics with anaerobic coverage include patients where there is a concern for oral inoculation; this would require the addition of clindamycin or amoxicillin-clavulanate. If the patient has risk factors for MRSA (including but not limited to: recent hospitalization, recent surgery, ESRD on hemodialysis, HIV/AIDS, IVDU, resident of long term care facility), chose an antibiotic with the appropriate coverage. Options include trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole DS (1 to 2 tablets twice a day), clindamycin (300 to 450mg four times a day) or doxycycline (100mg twice a day)', 'If an abscess is present, the infection will require drainage. Incision and drainage are usually with a #11 scalpel, and the blade is inserted under the eponychial fold (lateral nail fold) until pus begins to drain. Local or digital block anesthetic is generally helpful to allow comfort to ensure complete drainage. An abscess requires irrigation with normal saline, and if the abscess and incision site is large, the clinician can pack it with plain gauze for continued drainage.'], Pathophysiology: Paronychia results from the disruption of the protective barrier between the nail and the nail fold, which is the cuticle. Trauma (including manicures and pedicures), infections (including bacterial, viral, and fungal), structural abnormalities, and inflammatory diseases (ex. psoriasis) are predisposing factors. Organisms will enter the moist nail crevice, which leads to colonization of the area. The majority of acute paronychias are due to trauma, nail-biting, aggressive manicuring, artificial nails, and may involve a retained foreign body. Infections are most commonly the result of Staphylococcus aureus. Streptococci and Pseudomonas are more common in chronic infections., Epidemiology:['the most common hand infection in the United States, representing 35% of these disorders', 'GOOD', 'To prevent a nail infection, you should:\n\nAvoid biting or chewing on your nails or hangnails. Don’t pick at your cuticles.\nBe careful not to cut your nails too short. When trimming cuticles, avoid cutting too close to the nail fold.\nMaintain good hygiene by washing your hands and keeping your nails clean. Use gentle soaps that are not irritating to your skin.\nUse lotion on your nail fold and cuticles if your skin is dry. Excessive dryness can cause the skin to crack.\nWear waterproof gloves if you work with chemicals or your hands will be wet for a long period.'], Complications:['CELLULITIS', 'nail discoloration', 'nail dystrophy'], Diagnostics:['X RAY', 'PHYSICAL EXAMINATION'], Differential diagnosis:['CELLULITIS', 'Herpetic whitlow', 'Nail psoriasis', 'Onychomycosis'], disease description:Paronychia is an infection of the proximal and lateral toenail and fingernail folds which may occur spontaneously or following trauma or manipulation. It is one of the most common infections of the hand. Paronychia results from the disruption of the protective barrier between the nail and the nail fold, introducing bacteria and predisposing the area to infection. Acute paronychia is usually limited to one nail; however, if drug-induced, it can involve many nails.
