|
Diabetes mellitus:
dia + betes + mellitus= |
a group of disorders involving the PANCREAS; defective insulin response and or utilization.
"to pass through" + "a basin" + "excessive sweet urine" |
|
Two types of Diabetes mellitus:
|
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) aka juvenile onset diabetes or type 1...
Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM);adult onset diabetes; type 2 diabetes mellitus |
|
Type 1 diabetes mellitus:
hormone? ++ or --? gland? reduction of cells? age? two signs: % diabetes cases: |
deficiency of insulin production by the PANCREAS resulting from a reduction in beta cells in the pancreatic islet cells; under age 20, hyperglycemia and increased urine production; 10-20% of total cases of diabetes
|
|
Cause of Type 1 juvenile onset diabetes mellitus:
|
genetic susceptibility; autoimmunity to beta cells
|
|
Disease risk factors of Type 2 adult onset diabetes mellitus, and hormone cause:
|
often in obese over 40 yrs; insulin resistance based on decreased receptor sensitivity on target tissues in the body; reduction in insulin production
|
|
contraindications for type 1& 2 diabetes mellitus:
|
obtain DOCTOR's approval and advice
|
|
Cushing's disease=
named for: |
excessive production of cortisol from the adrenal cortex; leads to obesity, weakness, abnormal menses; hypertension; "moon face"
named for Harvey Cushing, aka hyperadrenocortism |
|
cause of Cushing's disease,
what hormone? ++ or --? what gland? tumor? |
cortisol++ in adrenal cortex because of:
adrenocorticotropic hormone ++ in anterior pituitary gland OR cortisol secreting tumor |
|
contraindications for Cushing's disease?
|
due to possible complications (eg osteoporosis) massage should be LIGHT and RELAXING eg energy work; contact doctor if in doubt.
|
|
Addison's disease aka (2):
gland: hormones: named for: |
aka "adrenal insufficiency" or "HYPOcortisolism"; destruction of the adrenal glands leading to decreased production of adrenal hormones; results in muscle weakness, fatigue, HYPOtension, nausea, and/or "bronzing" of skin due to excess of adrenocorticotropic ACTH hormone.
named for Dr. Thomas Addison. |
|
glandular or other root cause of Addison's disease?
|
autoimmunity against the adrenal glands leads to decreased production of adrenal hormones and results in weakness and hypotension, etc; OR bacterial or viral infection; cancer
|
|
contraindications for Addison's disease?
|
refer to DOCTOR
|
|
the backbone for making thyroid hormones is the chemical X
|
iodine
|
|
Serious complications of diabetes types 1 and 2 include the following:
|
myocarial infarcation
ketoacidosis (decreased pH) stroke peripheral neuropathy decreased wound healing gangrene retinopathy leading to blindness kidney problems increased susceptability to infection |
|
type I and II diabetes are now called:
|
type 1 and 2 diabetes
|
|
melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) is a byproduct of X from the anterior pituitary gland, and causes bronzing in Y (disease):
|
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)
Addison's disease |
|
Diseases associated with the ANTERIOR PITUITARY gland and GH (growth hormone)
|
1. Acromegaly
adenoma of pit gland, GH++ adults 2. Gigantism adenoma of ant pit gland GH++ children 3. Dwarfism trauma to hypothal or ant pit GH-- children |
|
Diseases associated with POSTERIOR PITUITARY gland and ADH (anti diuretic hormone)
|
1. Diabetes Insipidus
ADH-- caused by trauma to hypothalamus or posterior pituitary gland. |
|
Name 4 diseases associated with the THYROID and TH or TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
|
1. Grave's disease, TH++ adults.
autoimmune disorder antibodies mimic TSH actions, causing TH++ production, hyperthyroidism. 2. Myxedema TH-- (hypothyroidism) in adults cause: damaged thyroid gland; genetics 3. Cretinism, TH-- children. (hypothyroidism) similar to myxedema, damaged thyroid gland, hereditary defects 4. Goiter, enlarged thyroid due to iodine deficiency (iodine--... TH--... TSH++...Thyroid enlarged) |
|
Name two endocrine diseases associated with the PANCREAS:
|
1. IDDM (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), insulin--
autoimmunity to beta cells in pancreatic islet cells cause decrease in beta cells and therefore decrease in insulin 2. Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) type 2 diabetes. Insulin-- Cause: reduction in insulin production; insulin resistance based on decreased receptor sensitivity on target tissues in the body |
|
Name two diseases associated with the ADRENALS and CORTISOL and ACTH and other adrenal hormones.
|
1. Cushing's disease
cortisol ++ excess cortisol fr adrenal cortex because of excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the anterior pituitary gland; or a cortisol secreting tumor. 2. Addison's disease: ACTH ++, AH -- cause: because of autoimmunity in adrenal gland or infection or cancer; destruction of the adrenal glands leads to low production of adrenal hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, testoterone, estrogen, progesterone, etc) which causes an increase in ACTH resulting in the bronzing of melatonin or hyperpigmentation (MSH). |
