Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain, stiffness, and tenderness in the muscles and joints without signs of inflammation. It predominantly affects women between 35-55 years old and causes significant pain and fatigue that interferes with daily activities. While the exact cause is unknown, fibromyalgia is diagnosed by identifying tender points on the body and treatment focuses on managing symptoms through exercise, stress reduction, medications, and alternative therapies as there is no cure.

Polymyositis
Polymyositis is a type of inflammatory myopathy that causes muscle weakness and pain often on both sides of the body. It is characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzymes, and abnormal electromyography and muscle biopsy findings. Polymyositis most commonly affects adults aged 30-50 and has an unknown cause but is considered an autoimmune disorder. Treatment focuses on corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and physical therapy to improve muscle strength and function while managing complications like trouble swallowing or breathing problems.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic disorder characterized by chronic widespread muscle pain. It primarily affects women ages 30 to 50 and is diagnosed when a patient has 11 of 18 tender points. Conventional treatments like antidepressants may provide short-term relief but have side effects. Holistic treatments aim to address underlying causes like food allergies, infections, poor nutrition and sleep. Lifestyle changes like exercise, stress reduction and dietary modifications can help manage symptoms.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and tender points. It predominantly affects women and prevalence increases with age. The diagnosis is based on a history of widespread pain for at least 3 months and pain in 11 of 18 tender points. While the cause is unknown, it involves central sensitization and neuroendocrine abnormalities. Treatment includes medications, exercise, stress management, CBT, and alternative therapies. The ACR is proposing new diagnostic criteria incorporating symptoms like fatigue and cognitive problems in place of tender points.
Sciatica
Sciatica is pain that radiates from the lower back down the back of the thigh and leg. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which can occur due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or other causes like tumors or infections. Symptoms include pain that is worsened by certain movements and activities, numbness, and difficulty walking. Diagnosis involves physical examination including straight leg raise testing and neurological evaluation, as well as imaging like MRI or CT scan. Treatment options include medications, physiotherapy, surgery such as laminectomy or removal of bone compressing the nerve.
Low back pain (lumbago)
Low back pain is a common condition that affects 60-80% of people at some point in their lives. It is caused by injuries or strains to the muscles, ligaments or discs in the lower spine. Common symptoms include pain in the lower back that may radiate to the buttocks or thighs. Prolonged sitting, obesity, poor posture, heavy lifting and repetitive bending or twisting can contribute to back pain. Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms and physical exam rather than tests. Treatment involves medications, physical therapy, injections or surgery in severe cases. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper lifting technique can help prevent back pain.
Osteoarthritis
This document provides information on osteoarthritis (OA), including:
- OA is the most common form of arthritis and joint disease, typically affecting those over age 45, especially women. It commonly occurs in joints like the fingers, thumbs, neck, back, knees and hips.
- OA can be primary (with no clear cause) or secondary (resulting from injury or other joint disease). Risk factors include age, gender, genetics, joint alignment, injury or overuse, and obesity.
- Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling and tenderness. Diagnosis involves examining the joints and imaging tests. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through medications, exercise, weight loss and joint protection. Sur
Ankylosing spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of chronic arthritis that primarily affects the spine. It causes inflammation and stiffness of the spinal joints and surrounding tissues, which can eventually lead to a complete fusion of the spinal bones. The condition is strongly associated with the HLA-B27 genetic marker and tends to develop early, between ages 18-30. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and immune system factors like tumor necrosis factor are thought to play a role. There is no cure, but treatments can help reduce symptoms, slow the progression, and manage pain.
Encephalitis
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that is commonly caused by viral infections. It can cause symptoms like fever, headache, confusion, seizures, and neurological deficits as the brain tissue deteriorates. Diagnosis involves lumbar puncture to analyze CSF for signs of inflammation and PCR or antibody tests to identify the specific virus. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, reducing fever and swelling, and using antiviral medications for viral causes. Nursing care involves frequent monitoring, preventing complications, managing aberrant behaviors, and providing supportive care and patient education.

Arthritis
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are inflammatory joint diseases. Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical stress and damage over time, causing cartilage loss and bone changes leading to pain and deformity. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation of multiple joints, resulting in joint stiffness, pain, and deformity especially in hands, wrists and feet. Symptoms include tender and swollen joints, joint stiffness, and difficulty gripping objects. Complications may include rheumatoid nodules, Sjogren's syndrome, and Felty's syndrome. Treatment involves medications, exercise, joint protection, and lifestyle changes.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease characterized by the deterioration of cartilage in joints, resulting in bones rubbing together and causing stiffness, pain, and impaired movement. It is common in individuals over 60 years of age, and prevalence is higher in women than men. Risk factors include age, obesity, injury, family history, and certain occupations. Symptoms include joint pain, tenderness, and limited range of motion. Treatment involves exercise, weight loss, medications like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and corticosteroid injections, and may require surgery like joint replacement for severe cases.

Some risk factors like smoking and weight can be modified, while others like age cannot. The document was prepared by Dr. Md Nazrul Islam for Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in Bangladesh.
Motor neuron disease.pptx new
Motor neuron diseases are a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that progressively cause nerves in the brain and spinal cord to lose function, affecting voluntary muscle movement. The most common type in adults is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which affects both upper and lower motor neurons. There is no cure for motor neuron diseases, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms and maximizing quality of life through supportive care, rehabilitation, and FDA-approved drugs that may slow progression. Prognosis depends on the specific type of motor neuron disease and age of onset, with some forms being fatal and others non-fatal but still impacting quality of life over time.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that affects the joints, caused by inflammation and breakdown of cartilage. It most commonly occurs in weight-bearing joints like knees, hips, lower back, and fingers. The main tissue affected is articular cartilage, resulting in increased swelling, cartilage fibrillation, erosion down to subchondral bone. Risk factors include age, gender, obesity, repetitive joint use, prior injury or inflammation. Management involves lifestyle changes, exercises, analgesics, corticosteroid injections, and joint replacement surgery for severe cases.

Peripheral Neuropathy
This document discusses peripheral neuropathy, which refers to diseases that affect nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It covers the types of peripheral nerves and classifications of neuropathies. Some key causes of peripheral neuropathy discussed include diabetes, nutritional deficiencies like B1/B12 deficiency, alcoholism, infections like HIV and leprosy, and certain drugs. Symptoms, clinical presentations, investigations, and treatment approaches for different types of peripheral neuropathies are also summarized.
Neuropathies
Peripheral neuropathies can be classified into several types based on the pattern of nerve involvement:
1) Mononeuropathy affects a single nerve and can be caused by direct injury, ischemia, or inflammation. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example.
2) Mononeuritis multiplex involves multiple individual nerves developing lesions over time and is often seen in vasculitis.
3) Polyneuropathy damages many nerve cells across the body symmetrically and can be caused by systemic processes like diabetes or toxins.
Neuropathies are caused by a wide range of factors including metabolic diseases, infections, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disease, drugs, and toxins. Identifying the pattern of nerve

Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder affecting motor, sensory or autonomic nerves outside of the central nervous system. There are two main types: mononeuropathy, which damages a single nerve, and polyneuropathy, which affects multiple nerves. Causes include diabetes, alcoholism, toxins, medications and genetic factors. Symptoms depend on the affected nerves and may include numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness and autonomic issues. Diagnosis involves examinations, tests and imaging. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, pain relief medications, nerve stimulation, splinting and self-care techniques. Nursing care includes education, medication management, safety measures and physical therapy.
Polymyositis
This document provides an overview of polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that causes symmetrical proximal muscle weakness. It is caused by defective cellular immunity and can be associated with viral infections, malignancies or drugs. Symptoms include proximal muscle weakness in the upper and lower limbs and may include extra skeletal symptoms. Investigations include blood tests, EMG and muscle biopsy. Treatment involves corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. Dermatomyositis is a similar condition with additional characteristic skin manifestations. Both conditions are treated with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and addressing any skin symptoms.
Low back pain
Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting 40% of people at some point in their lives. It can be acute (lasting less than 7 weeks) or chronic (more than 7 weeks). Common causes include muscle strains, poor posture, obesity, and injuries. Diagnosis involves physical examination and imaging tests like x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Treatment depends on whether the back pain is acute or chronic. For acute pain, conservative treatments like NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, and physical therapy are usually effective. Chronic back pain may require more intensive exercises, antidepressants if depression is present, or surgeries like laminectomy or spinal fusion if conservative treatments fail.
Urinary incontinence types, diagnostic evaluation and management
The document discusses urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary loss of bladder control and urine. It defines the main types of incontinence as stress, urge, overflow, functional, and gross total incontinence. Diagnostic evaluations include urine tests, imaging, and urodynamic studies. Treatment options covered are behavioral techniques like pelvic floor exercises, drug therapy, medical devices, interventions, surgery, and absorbent pads or catheters.
Intervertebral disc prolapse(ivdp)
An intervertebral disc prolapse occurs when a tear in the outer ring of an intervertebral disc allows the inner nucleus pulposus to bulge out. The document discusses the anatomy and functions of intervertebral discs, causes and types of disc prolapses, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment options including medications, physical therapy, injections, and various surgical procedures. Nursing care focuses on preoperative teaching, postoperative monitoring for complications, managing pain, and providing education on mobility restrictions and home care.
Buergers Disease
Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. In Buerger's disease, your blood vessels become inflamed, swell and can become blocked with blood clots (thrombi)
Tennis elbow
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a tendinopathy of the extensor tendons of the forearm caused by repetitive strain from activities like tennis or manual labor. It presents as lateral elbow pain that is exacerbated by wrist extension movements. While the name suggests it is caused by tennis, 95% of cases occur in non-tennis players engaged in repetitive arm motions. Treatment begins conservatively with rest, ice, braces, and physical therapy, while corticosteroid injections provide temporary pain relief. Surgery is considered if conservative measures fail after 6-12 months.

Information on Firbromyalgia presented to senior University of Oklahoma Health and Sport Science Majors.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness. It is more common in women than men. While pain is the primary symptom, it also involves fatigue, sleep issues, cognitive problems, anxiety and depression. There is no known cause but factors like genetics and abnormal pain processing in the central nervous system may play a role. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like exercise and stress management as well as medications like antidepressants. While not curable, some patients are able to adapt well through treatment, but a minority have severe, treatment-resistant symptoms.

He begins by providing his conflict of interest statement, then asks a series of questions about what FMS is and whether it is a musculoskeletal, mental, or inflammatory condition. He explains that FMS is thought to be an illness of the central nervous system, specifically the neuroendocrine system. Smith discusses central sensitization syndrome and concepts like wind-up phenomenon and neurotransmitters involved in ascending and descending pain pathways. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of FMS in order to properly treat it. Smith stresses that FMS is diagnosed through a thorough history and physical exam to rule out other conditions. He provides examples of

Fibromyalgia Syndrome Fms
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and tender points. It is more common in women. While the cause is unknown, it is thought to involve increased sensitivity in the brain to pain signals. Symptoms vary but include muscle pain, fatigue, sleep issues, headaches, and numbness. There is no lab test to diagnose it, but diagnosis involves a history of widespread pain for over 3 months and tender points in specific areas. Treatments focus on reducing pain and improving sleep and function through medications and lifestyle changes.
Fibromyalgia: A Common But Complex Chronic Pain Disorder
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain disorder that affects the central nervous system and causes widespread muscle pain and tenderness. It is accompanied by other symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and neurological issues. While it can affect people of any age or gender, 80% of fibromyalgia patients are female. There is no definitive test for fibromyalgia, so it is diagnosed based on a patient's ongoing symptoms of muscle pain and tenderness. Treatments aim to relieve symptoms and may include medications, physical therapy, or tailored treatment plans.

What is Fibromyalgia?
Have you ever had one of those extreme headaches that ruthlessly affect your quality of work? If you are suffering from chronic widespread pain and sharp painful response to pressure, known as allodynia in medical terms, then you might be experiencing Fibromyalgia.
Acupuncture for fibromyalgia
1) Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms. It is considered a central sensitization syndrome where the central nervous system amplifies sensory processing and pain perception.
2) Treatment involves both pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies including exercise, stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acupuncture. Acupuncture aims to regulate the central neurotransmitters involved in pain processing and sensory amplification associated with fibromyalgia.
3) Management of fibromyalgia requires a multimodal approach targeting symptoms like pain and fatigue, as well as underlying mechanisms of central sensitization. The goal is to improve patient function through a combination of lifestyle management and integrated medical therapies.
Final submission
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons and soft tissues. The cause is unknown, but may involve physical or emotional trauma, abnormal pain response, sleep disturbances or infection. Symptoms include pain at specific tender points throughout the body, fatigue, depressed mood and sleep problems. To be diagnosed, a person must have widespread pain and tenderness in at least 11 of 18 areas of the body for over 3 months. While there is no cure, treatment aims to relieve pain through physical therapy, exercise, medications or stress relief methods.
Gen Med Paper
Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and tenderness. It affects around 2% of the US population. While the cause is unknown, it is believed to involve abnormalities in the central nervous system that increase pain sensitivity. Diagnosis is based on evaluating tender points and a symptom severity scale. Treatments aim to reduce pain and improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning, and may include medications, exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and complementary therapies. The prognosis is not life-threatening but symptoms can fluctuate over time. More research is still needed to better understand and manage this complex condition.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, paresthesia, and non-restorative sleep. It affects 2-8% of the population, predominantly women. While the causes are unknown, fibromyalgia is diagnosed based on a patient history meeting the 1990 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria of widespread pain and tenderness in at least 11 of 18 tender point sites. Treatments include medications, exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive group therapy to manage symptoms.
Fibromyalgia: its etiology, symptoms and prevention
Fibromyalgia, or fibromyalgia syndrome, is a condition that causes aches and pain all over the body.
It is defined as a disease complex or syndrome.
Risk Factors for Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a painful condition that occurs due to an overabundance of pain receptors. Since the body is so sensitive, people with fibromyalgia may experience pain from sensations that others would hardly notice. Other symptoms include brain fog, insomnia, and painful trigger points in the body.
Symptom severity varies widely. In severe cases, people may lose their ability to work or take care of themselves. Without treatment, people with fibromyalgia are more likely to develop depression and a poorer quality of life. Fibromyalgia also increases the risk of other conditions, such as arthritis.
Common Symptoms of Menopause
Menopause is defined as when a woman's periods have completely stopped for 12 consecutive months, she can no longer get pregnant naturally, and it usually occurs between ages 45-55. Common symptoms of menopause include mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, low sex drive, painful sex, and joint pain. These symptoms are caused by fluctuating hormone levels during menopause, especially declining estrogen levels. Natural remedies can help alleviate menopause symptoms and it is recommended to get hormone level testing and medical checkups.
What is Chronic Causes Symtoms and Relief Treatment Options - CureEZ.pdf
Chronic pain is a complex and pervasive medical condition that affects millions of
individuals worldwide, significantly impacting their quality of life and overall well-being. Chronic pain is characterized by persistent discomfort that lasts for an extended period, typically exceeding three to six months. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal of injury or illness and usually resolves as the body heals, chronic pain persists long after the initial injury has healed. It can affect various parts of the body and may stem from a wide range of underlying causes, including nerve damage, inflammation, or dysfunction in the central nervous system. It may significantly impact an individual's physical and emotional well-being, as well as their daily activities and quality of life.
Managing chronic pain effectively often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving medical intervention, lifestyle modifications, and psychological support to improve the individual's quality of life and overall well-being.
Top Therapies for Fibromyalgia
The treatment approach for fibromyalgia involves a blend of medication, non-invasive therapies and self-help strategies.

Reikimode
Reiki is an ancient natural healing art that works to induce deep relaxation and enhance one's natural healing abilities through the use of life force energy. It originated in 1922 in Japan when Dr. Mikao Usui developed the system. Reiki involves light touch on or near the body to unblock chi and promote healing. It follows five principles of non-aggression, non-worry, gratitude, integrity, and kindness. Reiki aims to balance the aura, which consists of etheric, astral, mental, and casual bodies, and seven chakras through the use of unconditional love.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural healing technique that works on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet that correspond to different parts of the body, and massaging these points can help release tension and balance the body's systems. Some potential benefits of reflexology include relaxation, improved circulation, pain relief, lowered blood sugar, reduced premenstrual symptoms, and better digestive and kidney function.
Purple glove syndrome

It is caused by a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, blood in the stool, and intestinal blockage. Diagnosis involves family history, clinical examination finding polyps and pigmentation, and genetic testing. Treatment involves surgery to remove polyps and endoscopic screening, while prevention involves genetic counseling.
Noonan syndrome
Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder recognized in 1963 by Dr. Jacqadine Noonan, characterized by abnormal facial features, short stature, heart defects, bleeding problems, and skeletal malformations. It affects 1 in 1000 to 2500 people equally among males and females. Genetic testing and assessments of development are used to investigate potential cases, while management is problem-based without specific treatment and aims to address complications like heart issues, low self-esteem, and social difficulties related to physical abnormalities.
Music therapy
Music therapy has been used for healing since World War I and II and gained recognition as a profession in the United States starting in the 1950s with the formation of early music therapy associations. It is now used to improve communication, reduce stress and pain, and increase attention spans, memory, and motor skills for elderly patients, those with mental illnesses or disabilities, and in hospice care. The first music therapy degree program was established in 1944 at Michigan University.
Meditation
Meditation involves focusing one's attention on an object such as breathing, mantras or bodily sensations to increase awareness of the present moment. Regular meditation can help reduce stress and promote relaxation while also providing physical, psychological and spiritual benefits. Some of the benefits include lowered blood pressure, reduced anxiety and depression, improved memory and concentration, increased self-awareness and compassion, and an overall enhanced quality of life.
IV Therapy
Intravenous therapy is an essential part of clinical care used to administer IV fluids, medications, blood products, and total parenteral nutrition. Thrombophlebitis is a potential complication that can be caused by factors like careless insertion of IV needles, use of small or lower extremity veins, irritation from rapid infusions or irritating solutions, and long catheter dwell times or inattentive site care. Nurses play an important role in properly caring for IV sites, recognizing signs of thrombophlebitis, discontinuing IV administration and removing the cannula as needed, providing treatments like hot/cold compression, and documenting care.
Information technology in medical field
Information technology is increasingly being used in healthcare at all levels of the community. Recent times have seen many nursing education programs offered online. There are two main types of online education - store and forward which transfers information between locations, and face-to-face programs using video conferencing. Technologies like email, digital photography, teleradiology, telepathology, and videoconferencing allow for fast, reliable, and economical communication of health information worldwide. These technologies make sharing images and data easier and reduce costs while increasing access to specialty care for rural populations. However, there are also challenges to greater telehealth adoption like physician licensing across borders and lack of infrastructure in some rural areas.
HFMD
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral illness that affects children under 10 years old, causing fever and blister-like rashes on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks. It is usually caused by coxsackievirus or enterovirus and spreads through direct contact with an infected person's saliva, blister fluid or stool. While there is no specific treatment, symptoms can be managed by treating fever, pain and maintaining fluid intake. Good hygiene practices can help lower the risk of infection.

Forensic nurses have skills like being inquisitive investigators and efficient communicators. They work in settings like hospitals and medical examiner offices. The responsibilities of forensic nurses include meeting victims' needs, collecting evidence at crime scenes, examining trauma victims, and assisting with autopsies and legal proceedings by providing medical opinions. There is a need for training students in forensic nursing skills like evidence collection and assisting with autopsies.
Eye donation
The document discusses corneal transplantation as a way to restore vision for corneal blindness in India. It notes that over 120 million people in India are blind in both eyes, comprising one quarter of the world's total blind population. However, there is a severe lack of donors for corneal transplantation in India due to issues like lack of awareness, social and religious beliefs, and improper infrastructure development. The document calls for awareness campaigns through healthcare teams, media, and educational institutions to increase donors and address the donor shortage.
Estimation of glomerular filtration rate
Renal function, or glomerular filtration rate (GFR), indicates the state of the kidneys and is measured by the volume of fluid filtered from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit of time. GFR can be estimated by measuring creatinine or other substances that are freely filtered but not reabsorbed or secreted by the kidneys. While creatinine clearance is commonly used to estimate GFR, it may overestimate by 10-20% due to minimal creatinine secretion. Alternative methods to more directly measure GFR include collecting urine over 24 hours or injecting inulin, though these have limitations as well.
Epilepsy in pregnancy
Epilepsy is caused by excessive electrical discharge in the brain and can cause seizures. It affects around 0.5-1% of pregnant women. Babies of mothers with epilepsy have a higher risk of birth defects, growth issues, and stillbirth. The risk of a baby developing epilepsy is also four times higher. During pregnancy, treatment involves low-dose monotherapy and monitoring for issues. Management of labor and delivery includes seizure precautions and monitoring anti-seizure drug levels. Breastfeeding is not contraindicated for mothers with epilepsy.
Diabetic foot
This document discusses diabetic foot care. It notes that diabetes can lead to neuropathy which causes insensitivity in the feet and makes them prone to cuts, blisters, and pressure sores if not treated. These sores can become ulcers or gangrene and may require amputation if not cared for properly. It provides tips for foot care including controlling blood sugar, checking the feet daily, keeping the skin soft and feet dry, wearing appropriate shoes and socks, protecting the feet from temperature extremes, keeping blood flowing, staying active, and wearing supportive shoes made for diabetics.
