Hirsutism

Anabolic steroids were first discovered in the late 1930’s as a way to care for hypogonadim, a condition in which the testes do not produce sufficient testosterone for normal growth, development, and sexual functioning (Volkow, 2001). Since this time, anabolic steroid usage has been one of the most controversial topics in modern medicine. In the late 1930s, scientists learned that anabolic steroids could expedite the development of skeletal muscle in laboratory animals. Anabolic steroids are…

intermedia dysfunction (PID) (petmd). There is no specific breed that ECS affects, but it has shown that ponies are more prone to the disease than horses. Equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) generally occurs in older horses showing hirsutism, delayed molting, weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, laminitis, and reproductive disorders (in broodmares), but there have been no reports on stallions (Hatazoe et al. 2015). Adenomata of the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland have been…

Type 2 diabetes it 's a bit diverse, it starts when the body is impervious to insulin, which implies that body cells don 't react fittingly when insulin is available. Dissimilar to type 1 diabetes, the insulin resistance is for the most part "post-receptor", significance it is an issue with the cells that react to insulin instead of an issue with creation of insulin (Vijan, 2010). Since sugar is not getting into the tissues, strangely elevated amounts of sugar develop in the blood, which is…

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is named after the French neurologist Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne who first described the disease. It is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration (Muscular Dystrophy Association). Muscle weakness appears in early childhood and progressively worsens; children with DMD are generally wheel-chair dependent by adolescence. Along with the DMD affecting the skeletal system, the cardiac muscles…

Athletes of all kinds strive to be stronger and faster. This characteristic has brought rise in athletes turning to unnatural ways to aid in improving their performance. Androgenic anabolic steroids are what athletes have turned to in order to perform at a higher level in their sport or to improve their body composition. For many years, steroids were abused solely by professional athletes and elite bodybuilders. However, over time this use has spread to recreational athletes and has found its…

The frog in a well is indeed a fitting phrase for describing The Casual Vacancy, by J.K. Rowling as readers take a sneak-peek into the true nature of society that Rowling perceives. It is noticeable how small everyone’s problems are in the big picture, yet get treatment as if the world will end any minute. The Casual Vacancy mimics society by illustrating a small English town, Pagford, which is in shock after the death of Barry Fairbrother. Upon his death, what is supposedly a pretty town…

Overexposure of the tissues to corticosteroids may result from medications, pituitary, adrenal tumors. The assessment findings include: truncal obesity, facial edema, hirsutism, weakness, fatigue, polyuria, polydipsia, and mood changes (Hollier & Hensley, 2011). Long term use of corticosteroids is a common risk factor. An elevated salivary cortisol or 24 hour urinary free cortisol indicates a positive diagnosis. A.V. presents…
