0 likes•17 views
Wilson disease is caused by a mutation that prevents copper excretion from the liver, leading to copper accumulation and damage to tissues like the basal ganglia and cornea. Symptoms include liver problems like hepatitis or cirrhosis as well as neurological issues like parkinsonism or psychiatric changes. Diagnosis involves testing for low ceruloplasmin and high urinary copper as well as examining the eyes for copper rings and testing liver copper levels. Treatment uses copper chelators like penicillamine or zinc to interfere with copper absorption.

Management of endometriosis HY
This document provides guidance on managing endometriosis. It lists symptoms that could indicate suspected endometriosis such as chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, painful sex, and painful bowel movements. For patients with suspected endometriosis, the document recommends considering over-the-counter pain relievers and birth control pills initially, and performing a laparoscopy if symptoms do not improve or if there are concerns about infertility, medical contraindications, need for diagnosis, or potential malignancy.
Lung cancer HY
This document discusses the four main types of lung cancer: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. It provides information on the incidence, typical location in the lungs, and common clinical associations for each type of lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma makes up 40-50% of lung cancers and is usually located in the periphery of the lungs. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 20-25% of cases and is typically central. Small cell carcinoma comprises 10-15% of lung cancers and is also usually central. Large cell carcinoma represents 5-10% of lung cancers and tends to be peripheral.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency HY
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is caused by a defect in CD18-containing integrins, which impairs leukocyte adhesion and endothelial transmigration. This results in recurrent skin and mucosal infections without pus formation, impaired wound healing, and delayed umbilical cord separation beyond 3 weeks of age. Laboratory findings include leukocytosis and neutrophilia.
Intrauterine fetal demise HY
Intrauterine fetal demise is defined as fetal death at 20 weeks or later. It is diagnosed by the absence of fetal cardiac activity on ultrasound. Management depends on gestational age - between 20-23 weeks dilation and evacuation or vaginal delivery is recommended, while at 24 weeks or later vaginal delivery is recommended, though cesarean delivery is an option based on maternal history. A complication can be coagulopathy if the fetus is retained for several weeks.
Infectious mononucleosis HY
Infectious mononucleosis is characterized by fever, tonsillitis or pharyngitis that may have exudates, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, fatigue, and possibly enlargement of the liver and spleen. Complications can include airway obstruction, autoimmune conditions affecting red blood cells or platelets, and rupture of the spleen.
Indications for urgent dialysis (aeiou) HY
Acidosis, electrolyte abnormalities, ingestion of toxic substances, overload states, and uremia are indications for urgent dialysis according to the AEIOU mnemonic. Specifically, metabolic acidosis with a pH below 7.1, hyperkalemia causing ECG changes or arrhythmias, ingestion of toxic alcohols, volume overload refractory to diuretics, and uremia causing encephalopathy, pericarditis or bleeding require immediate dialysis treatment.
