The document discusses two common complications of diabetes: hypertension and neuropathy. It defines hypertension as blood pressure above 140/90 and explains that diabetes can lead to hypertension due to restricted blood flow causing the heart to work harder. Nearly half of all diabetics experience some form of neuropathy, which is nerve damage caused by restricted blood flow or high blood glucose levels. Peripheral neuropathy, which affects the hands and feet, is one common type and can cause tingling, burning, pain, ulcers and numbness. Managing both complications involves maintaining healthy blood glucose and blood pressure levels through diet, exercise, and medication if needed.

This document provides an overview of approaching a patient with peripheral neuropathy. It discusses:
- The global burden of peripheral neuropathy, with diabetes being a leading cause.
- The basic anatomy of peripheral nerves and pathogenic mechanisms of nerve damage, including segmental degeneration, Wallerian degeneration, and axonal degeneration.
- Key questions to ask patients regarding the systems involved, duration and nature of symptoms, evidence of upper motor involvement, temporal evolution, potential hereditary causes, and other medical conditions.
- Types of neuropathy classified by pattern of involvement, clinical course, and other factors to help differentiate diagnoses.
This document discusses peripheral neuropathy and provides guidance on evaluating and diagnosing peripheral nerve disorders. It defines peripheral neuropathy as disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system, which can involve sensory nerves, motor nerves, or both. The document outlines that peripheral neuropathies can be classified based on whether they primarily affect the cell body, myelin, or axon. It also lists common causes of peripheral neuropathy like diabetes, paraproteinemia, alcohol misuse, and vitamin B12 deficiency. The document provides guidance on clinical assessment, laboratory and electrodiagnostic testing, skin or nerve biopsy, and treatment approaches for peripheral neuropathy.
The document discusses various types of neuropathies and myopathies. It lists 7 types of neuropathies including inflammatory, infectious, hereditary, acquired, toxic/metabolic, traumatic, and neoplastic neuropathies. It also lists 9 types of myopathies including denervation, dystrophies, ion channel, congenital, genetic, metabolic, inflammatory, toxic, and neuro muscular junction myopathies. For each type, it provides brief descriptions and examples.
This document provides an overview of approaching peripheral nerve disease. It discusses taking a history and examining patients to identify signs that implicate peripheral nerve involvement. Electrodiagnostic studies are used to help diagnose and differentiate between neuropathies. Symptoms, signs, distribution patterns, temporal evolution, relevant history, examination findings, modalities of sensation loss, fiber involvement, autonomic symptoms, and other findings are described. Investigations including electrodiagnosis, nerve conduction studies, electromyography and findings that indicate axonal vs demyelinating neuropathies are also summarized.

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.
Infectious diseases, also known as transmissible diseases or communicable diseases, comprise clinically evident illness resulting from the infection, presence and growth of pathogenic biological agents in an individual host organism.
Anesthetics are drugs that cause anesthesia or reversible loss of sensation, allowing surgery to be performed without pain. Local anesthetics like amide anesthetics are heat-stable and have a slower onset but longer duration, making them suitable for regional techniques like epidurals. General anesthesia makes patients unconscious and unable to feel pain during procedures using intravenous drugs and gases. Regional anesthesia only anesthetizes a specific body area like an arm using techniques like nerve blocks.
Peripheral neuropathy, a result of nerve damage, often causes pins and pain in your hands and feet. People naturally explain the anxiety of peripheral neuropathy as burning, while they may explain the loss of feeling to the feeling of wearing a thin stock.
Sleeping is one of the most important functions in life and it plays a vital role in keeping our body and mind healthy.Deficiency of sleeping disorders can lead to health illness, accidents, lack of job performance, and stress effects on relationships.
Sinusitis is an inflammation, of the tissue lining the sinuses. A sinus is a hollow, air-filled cavity. Normally, they are filled with air, but when they are blocked and filled with bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus cause an infection. The main causes for sinus blockage are cold, allergic reactions or polyps in the nasal cavity.
Brain cancers can begin from the primary brain cells, the cells that form other brain elements such as, membrane walls, blood veins, or from the growth of cancer cells that develop in our body organs and that have spread to the brain by the blood vessels.
Radiosurgery is a non-invasive treatment, where physicians use latest technological innovations to provide an accurate amount of radiation for cancer growth without having to scratch into the body.
Rheumatic fever may cause a temporary nervous system disorder. Nowadays it’s known as chorea, or Sydenham’s chorea. This is often a nervous disorder by rapid, jerky, involuntary movements of the body occurring primarily in childhood or during pregnancy and is closely related to rheumatic fever.
Interacting with individuals is usually difficult and complicated. Fortunately, there are only three main types of behaviors which people exhibit once they communicate with the individuals.
Endocrinology is a specialization of medicine; some would say as a sub-specialty of inner medication, which offers with the analysis and treatment of diseases related to testosterone. Endocrinology includes human features such as the synchronization of metabolic rate, breathing, reproduction, neurological understanding and activity.
Drug therapy, also called pharmacotherapy, uses medication to treat disease by interacting with cells to promote healthy functioning and reduce illness. It has clear benefits in curing infections and diseases as well as improving symptoms for many conditions. Most conditions can be treated with medication to cure or improve the disorder itself, or to treat associated symptoms. Patients should discuss with their doctor whether medication is appropriate for their situation.
Rheumatology is a sub-specialty in internal medicine and paediatrics, dedicated to the analysis and treatment of rheumatic diseases. Physicians who are dedicated to rheumatology are known as Rheumatologists.

2. Diabetic neuropathy is a
damage that affects the
peripheral nerves of the
body. The damage is
specifically to the nerves of
the ganglia, outside of the
skull, the spinal cord, and
some other nerves that aid
the body in assisting
fundamental organs, such as
the heart, bladder,
intestines, and stomach.
