Gout presentation
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. It most commonly affects the big toe joint, causing sudden and severe pain. There are different types of gout including acute gout, chronic gout, and pseudogout. Risk factors include being overweight, drinking alcohol, eating red meat, and using diuretics. Treatment involves medications to reduce uric acid levels and prevent attacks, as well as lifestyle changes like losing weight, staying hydrated, and following a diet low in purines and high in fruits and vegetables.
Gout Disease
Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood that form crystals in the joints, causing inflammation and pain. It was once thought to be a disease of kings due to its association with rich foods and alcohol. Symptoms include sudden, severe pain and swelling in joints like the big toe. Diagnosis involves testing blood and urine uric acid levels and examining joint fluid. Treatment focuses on relieving pain and reducing uric acid through medications like NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, allopurinol, and febuxostat. Lifestyle changes around diet, weight, and alcohol intake can help prevent future gout attacks.
Gout (1)
Gout is caused by deposits of sodium urate crystals in joints and tissues. It can be primary, due to a hereditary purine metabolism disorder, or secondary to drugs or other conditions that inhibit uric acid excretion. The document discusses the incidence, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, complications, diagnosis, and collaborative care of gout including treatments for acute attacks and chronic management. Tests like serum uric acid levels and synovial fluid analysis are used to monitor therapy for this metabolic disorder characterized by hyperuricemia and acute or chronic arthritis.
Gout(inflammatory joint disease)
Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by hyperuricemia, or high levels of uric acid in the blood. It most commonly affects middle-aged men and causes sudden, severe pain and inflammation in joints like the big toe. Acute gout occurs when uric acid crystals form in a joint, while chronic gout results in long-term joint damage. Treatment involves medications like NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, and allopurinol to reduce pain and prevent further attacks by lowering uric acid levels. Lifestyle changes like diet modification and exercise can also help prevent gout flares.

This document provides an overview of gout, including defining it as a medical condition characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis. Key points discussed include the signs and symptoms of pain, swelling and redness in affected joints; causes such as high uric acid levels in the blood which can be due to genetics, diet or medications; risk factors and complications; diagnosis through tests of synovial fluid, blood and x-rays; management through medications, diet changes and nursing care focused on pain management, mobility and anxiety reduction.
Gout
Here are the key points I would suggest to the aircrew:
- Lose weight through diet and exercise to achieve a healthy BMI, as obesity is a risk factor for hyperuricemia and gout.
- Limit alcohol intake, especially beer which is strongly associated with hyperuricemia.
- Follow a low-purine diet by reducing intake of organ meats, red meat, seafood etc. which are high in purines.
- Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water as uric acid is more soluble in urine produced in larger volumes.
- Start on allopurinol 100mg once daily which is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor to lower uric acid production

Gout is a metabolic disease characterized by recurrent attacks of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. It is classified as acute or chronic gout. Risk factors include age, sex, lifestyle, medical conditions, and family history. Treatment involves drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis like allopurinol, increase uric acid excretion like probenecid, reduce inflammation like NSAIDs, and control symptoms like colchicine. Diet, exercise, medication adherence and surgery are also used to manage gout.
Gouty Arthritis
Gout is a crystal deposition disease caused by monosodium urate crystals in the joints and tissues due to hyperuricemia. It ranges from asymptomatic hyperuricemia to acute gouty arthritis with severe pain, to chronic tophaceous gout with joint damage. Diagnosis involves identifying urate crystals in synovial fluid or tophi. Treatment goals include rapid relief of acute flares, prevention of future flares, and reducing uric acid levels long-term through lifestyle changes and urate-lowering therapy such as allopurinol.
Gout
Gout is caused by hyperuricaemia (high uric acid levels) which can result in the deposition of urate crystals in the joints, causing inflammation. It predominantly affects males and risk factors include obesity, diets high in purines, alcohol consumption, and certain medications. Acute gout usually presents as sudden, severe pain in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Treatment involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and medications like allopurinol to reduce uric acid levels. Chronic, untreated gout can lead to tophaceous deposits and joint damage. Pseudogout is another type of crystal arthropathy seen in elderly women that involves calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition.

Gout management
Gout is a clinical disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in tissues, which can cause acute gouty arthritis, tophaceous gout, gouty nephropathy, or uric acid stones. The aims of gout treatment are to improve outcomes by suppressing flares, eliminating gout permanently, resolving tophi, and managing comorbidities. First-line treatment for hyperuricemia involves xanthine oxidase inhibitors or uricosuric agents to lower uric acid levels. Diuretics can cause hyperuricemia and gout by increasing urate reabsorption, and treatment may involve changing medications or adding allopurinol.
Gout Presentation
Gout is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints, which leads to acute inflammation. It typically presents as sudden severe pain, swelling and redness in one joint, most commonly the big toe. Diagnosis is made based on symptoms and identification of crystals in joint fluid under polarized microscopy. Treatment involves medications to reduce symptoms during acute attacks as well as long-term drugs like allopurinol or probenecid to lower uric acid levels and prevent future episodes. Without treatment, gout can progress to a chronic stage with multiple joint involvement and growth of tophi deposits in the tissues.

This document provides information about gout, including its definition, causes, risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment options, nursing care, and health education recommendations. Gout is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is usually treated through medications that reduce uric acid levels like allopurinol, colchicine, or corticosteroids. Nursing care focuses on relieving pain, maintaining activity levels, and preventing hyperthermia. Lifestyle changes such as diet modification and exercise can also help manage the condition.
Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the bloodstream. It most commonly affects the big toe joint, causing sudden and severe pain. Gout is caused by an excess production or impaired excretion of uric acid by the kidneys. Uric acid crystallizes and forms needle-like deposits in the joints, triggering inflammation and pain. Treatment involves medications to reduce uric acid levels, relieve pain and inflammation during gout attacks, and prevent future attacks and joint damage from long-term gout. Lifestyle changes like diet modification and exercise can also help lower uric acid levels and prevent gout complications.
Gout (Reporte)
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by uric acid crystals building up in the joints due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. It most commonly affects the big toe, causing sudden and severe pain. Risk factors include genetics, age, alcohol consumption, diet high in purines, medications, and other medical conditions like diabetes. Diagnosis involves testing uric acid levels in blood and synovial fluid analysis. Treatment focuses on pain relief during flares and lowering uric acid levels long-term through medications and lifestyle changes like diet modification and exercise. Without proper management, gout can progress to chronic arthritis and kidney complications.
GOUTY ARTHRITIS.pptx
Gout is a hereditary condition caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, which can crystallize and deposit in joints and tissues, causing inflammation and pain. Diagnosis involves testing the levels of uric acid in the blood and fluid from affected joints. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes to reduce uric acid production, and medications like NSAIDs, colchicine, and uricosuric agents to relieve pain and prevent future attacks. Nursing care centers on pain management, education, and ensuring patient adherence to the treatment regimen.
RENAL NUTRITION AND DIALYSIS.pptx nutrional biochemistry

2) It describes acute kidney injury as a sudden reduction in kidney function over 2 days or less and chronic kidney disease as a slow, progressive decline in kidney function.
3) Nutritional management of kidney disease focuses on restricting protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus and fluid based on kidney function and dialysis status while ensuring adequate calorie and nutrient intake.
Autoimmune disease.pptx
This document provides information on various autoimmune diseases, including their symptoms and treatments. Some of the diseases discussed include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, primary myxedema, thyrotoxicosis, pernicious anemia, autoimmune atrophic gastritis, Addison's disease, premature menopause, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, stiff-man syndrome, Goodpasture's syndrome, and myasthenia gravis. For each disease, the document outlines the associated symptoms and common treatment methods.
Disorders of adrenal gland
The two adrenal glands produce three main types of hormones: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and androgens. Cushing's syndrome occurs when there is excessive production of adrenal cortex hormones due to tumors, medications, or other causes. It leads to increased blood glucose, high blood pressure, weight gain, and other issues. Addison's disease is the opposite condition caused by inadequate adrenal hormone production due to issues like autoimmune destruction. It results in low blood pressure, low blood glucose, increased skin pigmentation, and other problems. Both conditions require lifelong hormone replacement therapy and management of complications like infections and adrenal crises.

Water Analysis: Part 2
This document discusses water analysis methods for measuring dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) as part of an ecology lab course at the Asian University for Women. The instructor is Syed Mohammad Lokman and a YouTube video is provided as a supplementary resource.
Water Analysis: Part 1
This document discusses various measurements for analyzing water quality:
- TS is total solids, TSS is total suspended solids, TDS is total dissolved solids, VSS is volatile suspended solids, and FSS is fixed suspended solids.
- TSS measures cloudiness/turbidity and high levels can reduce sunlight penetration and plant/algal growth. TDS includes dissolved minerals and salts, and is related to conductivity, salinity, alkalinity and hardness.
- High TSS can indicate pollution while high TDS may signal fertile waters, though most freshwater life cannot tolerate very high TDS levels due to salinity.
Soil Analysis
This document provides instructions for a soil analysis lab. Students will analyze various physical properties of soil, including texture, moisture content, pH, and water holding capacity. The lab covers the components and structure of soil profiles. Students will use a soil texture triangle to classify soil samples based on percentages of sand, silt and clay. They will also measure moisture content by weighing soil samples before and after drying, test pH using indicator paper or solutions, and determine water holding capacity by measuring water retained in a soil sample. The goal is for students to understand key physical properties and their importance for soil function.
Ecological Succession SlideShare
This series of predictable changes that occurs in a community over time is called ecological succession.In another words, Ecological succession is the change in species composition over time; that is, the replacement of one group of species by another group of species. There are two major types of ecological succession: primary succession and secondary succession. In primary succession, a site that is initially absent of species becomes colonized for the very first time. In secondary succession, a site that supports an existing assemblage of species experiences a disturbance that changes the composition of species. Both types of succession can occur in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The first species to arrive and colonize the newly formed habitat are pioneer species. These early colonizers contribute nutrients to the soil through organic matter accumulation from decomposition. Some early successional plant species can fix atmospheric nitrogen and thereby increase nitrogen availability in the soil for other plants. As soil nutrients increase over succession it allows for the colonization of previously nutrient-limited species that were unable to establish initially. This facilitates the turnover in species composition over time. In terrestrial ecosystems, this compositional shift corresponds to a change in life forms and distinct species assemblages transitioning from small herbaceous plants, to shrubs, and ultimately to stands of trees over the course of succession. Secondary succession in terrestrial ecosystems can initiate after fire, tornadoes/ hurricanes, or humans disturb an already established plant community, removing most species but leaving the soil intact. The disturbance changes exposure of the habitat to sunlight, wind, and water that alters colonization and the assemblage trajectory of the new plant community. Some plant species may arrive to the disturbed site from
Intro to Ecology
This document outlines the syllabus for an Ecology Lab course taught by Syed Mohammad Lokman at Asian University for Women. The course meets on Thursdays from 1:40-4:30pm in room H200. The learning outcomes include developing skills in collecting and analyzing ecological data, scientific writing, and teamwork. Students will be evaluated based on attendance, quizzes, lab reports, and a final assessment. The course will cover topics through labs and field trips over 14 weeks.
Soil Analysis Worksheet
This document outlines procedures for analyzing various properties of soil samples, including:
1. Texture - by allowing soil particles to settle in water and measuring thickness of sand, silt, and clay layers
2. Moisture content - by weighing soil samples before and after oven drying to calculate water percentage
3. pH - by making a soil solution, filtering it, and testing the filtrate's pH using indicator paper or universal indicator solution
4. Water holding capacity - by measuring water retained in a filter paper containing soil after adding a known volume of water
Lab Safety
The document outlines laboratory safety rules for students taking the BIOL/ENVS 3003: ECOLOGY (Lab) course. Key rules include: do not eat, drink, smoke or taste anything in the lab; tie back long hair and roll up loose sleeves if using open flames; assume all chemicals are poisonous and read labels; clean up spills immediately and know the location of safety equipment; and wash hands and return all equipment before leaving the lab. Students are responsible for equipment and must report any injuries or issues to the instructor.
Sampling Method
This document provides instructions for students to conduct labs on estimating plant and animal population densities using various methods. For the plant population lab, students will use a quadrat method to sample plant populations and calculate density and frequency. They will record data on number of individuals and presence/absence in quadrats for multiple species. For the animal population lab, students will use a mark-recapture technique to estimate population size of objects like beans by capturing, marking, and recapturing samples. They will record data to calculate a scientific estimate and percent error compared to the actual population.
Ecological Succession: Part 1
Ecological succession is the process of change in the species structure of a community over time. It occurs through primary succession on new surfaces like lava flows, and secondary succession after disturbances in previously colonized areas. Pioneer species are the first to colonize new habitats, contributing nutrients to soils through decomposition. Over time, the community develops towards a climax community adapted to the local climate and geography, which will persist until disrupted by disturbances.
Predator Prey Interaction
This document outlines a lab on predator-prey interactions using the Lotka-Volterra equations. The objectives are to understand predator-prey dynamics and how populations of each affect the other over time. The Lotka-Volterra equations model this relationship between changing predator and prey populations. Several simplifying assumptions are made, including predators relying solely on one prey species and prey having unlimited resources other than the predator. Students will use an online model to simulate predator-prey cycles over time.
Plant Competition
This lab experiment studied the effects of intraspecific and interspecific competition between plant species. Students planted seeds of two species, Chinese cabbage and water spinach, at different densities to represent varying competition levels. They measured the height, weight, survival, and survival rate of the plantings over several weeks. Their results would help determine whether competition increased in more crowded pots and which species was more impacted by interspecific competition. The experiment aimed to understand how competition influences plant growth and survival.
predator prey: Worksheet
The document describes a predator-prey simulation where wolves were introduced to an island with an overpopulated deer population of 2000. Over the period of 1971 to 1980, the deer population fluctuated as the wolf population increased and then stabilized. By 1980, the deer population decreased to around 1000 as the wolf population leveled off at around 10, maintaining a balance between the predator and prey populations on the island.
Natural Selection Analysis: Part1
This document provides an overview of natural selection analysis and methods for measuring natural selection through analyzing DNA sequences. It discusses three main types of natural selection - positive selection which favors beneficial mutations, negative selection which removes detrimental mutations, and balancing selection which maintains genetic variation. It then focuses on explaining the dN/dS ratio test, one of the most widely used methods for detecting natural selection. The dN/dS ratio compares the rate of non-synonymous substitutions that change the protein sequence to the rate of synonymous substitutions that do not change the protein sequence. Different dN/dS ratios can indicate if a sequence is experiencing neutral evolution, negative selection, or positive selection.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Recently uploaded (20)
