Pheochromocytoma is diagnosed due to high abnormally concentration of catecholamine’s or their products in urine and plasma. Diagnosis should also be based on clinical assessment Pheochromocytoma is diagnosed due to high abnormal concentration of catecholamine followed confirmation of excess catecholamine secretion. Genetic testing should be performed in all patients with pheochromocytoma because it is associated with other tumors. Those with positive family history or less than 50 years old.…
Severe oxygen deprivation during birth can rupture blood vessels and starve oxygen to the brain. The oxygen deprivation will lead to brain cell death. Significant trauma to the head during labor and delivery can cause the brain damage that leads to cerebral palsy. Infants can also develop infections of the…
A patient’s good nutritional status is essential for wound healing with protein deficiency contributing to poor healing rates.[90, 134, 169, 185] Skin break-down can result in a deficit of as much as 100 gm of protein in one day.[185] There is a correlation between…
Intramuscular hemangiomas was first described by Liston in 1843. This benign vascular lesion of skeletal muscles make up for less than 1% of all hemangiomas.[1] They commonly present in early childhood or early adult life,[4] although there were some studies which reported such cases in elderly patients. Generally intramuscular hemangiomas have shown an equal sex distribution except for the involvement of the masseter muscle which has a definite male predominance with ratio of 3 to 1.[5]…

better understanding on what really takes place during metabolism (catabolic reaction). Purine catabolism pathway is one of the cellular processes that fascinated me the most. I choose to research on this specific process and was able establish a pretty good grasp of what happens in the process of it break down. Purine bases are the adenine and guanine.…
There are a variety of different factors promoting or inhibiting post-operative wound healing. Rund et al (1) covers many factors linked to wound healing such as smoking, oxygen availability, nutrition, hyperglycemia, alcohol intake, and patient adherence. First of all, smoking exerts a pervert effect on peripheral vasculature. For instance, a single cigarette causes a decrease in O2 because of ligation of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin and nicotine has an added effect of peripheral…
a colorless liquid with a skunk or garlic oder. This product can be used in both agricultural and residential settings.

presentation was milder: no depressed consciousness or ICU admission necessity. The use of immunotherapy (corticosteroids or cyclophosphamide) was the mainstay of treatment, differently in the PMNS. In the few cases describing PMNS, the prognosis was good. The same is not true in neurexin-3alpha antibodies encephalitis (only one patient in five had a substantial recovery and 2 patients…
This causes them to be tired and have a lack of energy (Lederal, Gay, Aouizerat, Portillo, Lee). These symptoms could interfere with their daily activities and self care. There fatigue does not go away with a good rest of sleep. It is a constant battle of exhaustion for them. Some researchers found that people who have a lower CD4 and T-cell count are at a higher increase for fatigue (Lederal, Gay, Aouizerat, Portillo, Lee). Because these people have chronic…
