Gout is a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood that leads to painful inflammation and redness in joints. Symptoms include intense joint pain, lingering discomfort, and limited range of motion. There are different types of gout depending on severity and symptoms, and risk factors include age, gender, genetics, lifestyle, medications, weight, and recent trauma or surgery. Diagnosis involves testing joint fluid, blood tests, and x-ray imaging to detect urate crystals. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise and weight control as well as medications that block uric acid production or improve its removal from the body.

Gout
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by urate crystals depositing in joints due to high uric acid levels. It exists in primary and secondary forms. Primary gout is caused by inborn errors in purine metabolism and usually affects older men. Secondary gout is caused by other conditions like renal insufficiency that decrease uric acid excretion. Gout progresses through asymptomatic, acute, and chronic stages and is characterized by painful joint inflammation and tophi formations. Treatment involves medications like allopurinol to reduce uric acid production as well as a low purine diet and increased fluid intake.
Physical examination for gout
The document provides information about the physical examination of a patient with gout. It describes the typical history of gout including risk factors like being male over 30, family history, hypertension, alcohol use, and diuretic use. Acute gout causes sudden severe joint pain lasting 1-2 weeks, while chronic gout causes recurrent attacks leading to joint damage. On examination, the patient may appear obese and red-skinned with swelling in common sites like the big toe. Tophi may form around joints and ulcers can develop. The affected joint will feel hot, tender and have reduced range of motion.
Gout
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by recurrent attacks of pain in joints like the big toe. It occurs when elevated levels of uric acid in the blood crystallize and deposit in joints. Risk factors include diet high in purines, alcohol consumption, obesity, and certain medications. Diagnosis involves examining joint fluid or tophi for urate crystals or testing blood uric acid levels. Treatment consists of NSAIDs, colchicine, steroids, or long-term uric acid-lowering drugs like allopurinol to prevent future attacks. Lifestyle changes such as diet modification and weight loss can also help prevent gout.

Crystal associated arthropathies
This document discusses various types of crystal-associated arthropathies including:
- Monosodium urate monohydrate crystals which cause gout. Gout typically affects middle-aged males and causes painful inflammation in joints.
- Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals which cause pseudogout/chondrocalcinosis. This tends to affect the elderly and can mimic many other joint diseases.
- Calcium-containing crystals like hydroxyapatite which are associated with aging, osteoarthritis, and renal disease and can cause acute attacks of inflammation.
Gout disease (Imran khan salarzai)
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.
Uric Acid Crystals
Uric acid crystals build up in the joints when there are excessive amounts of uric acid in the body, which can be caused by eating foods high in purines. The body detects these crystals as foreign objects and attempts to remove them, causing pain and swelling in the joints known as gout. Chronic gout occurs with continuous high uric acid levels and risks permanent joint damage. Managing uric acid through diet and lifestyle can help prevent gout problems.
Gout and pseudogout

Gout and Pseudogout
Gout is a metabolic disorder caused by uric acid crystal deposition in joints due to purine metabolism issues. It typically presents as sudden severe pain in the big toe joint. Chronic gout results in urate salt deposits called tophi in tissues. Treatment involves NSAIDs and colchicines for acute flares and allopurinol or probenecid to reduce uric acid levels long-term. Pseudo-gout involves calcium crystal deposition rather than uric acid, though symptoms are similar.
Pathophysiology of Gout
Gout is a common form of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain and inflammation in the joints, often in the big toe. It is caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood that form needle-like crystals in the joints. Risk factors include age, genetics, diet high in purines, obesity, kidney problems, and certain medications. Symptoms include intense joint pain, swelling, redness, and limited range of motion. Diagnosis involves testing joint fluid or blood for uric acid crystals. Treatment focuses on medications to relieve pain and prevent further attacks and complications by reducing uric acid levels.
Gout
Gout is a common, painful form of arthritis.
It causes swollen, red, hot and stiff joints. Gout occurs when uric acid builds
up in your blood. This happens if your body produces extra acid or does not
eliminate enough, or if you eat too many foods with purines, such as liver and
dried beans. Pseudogout has similar symptoms and is sometimes confused with
gout. However, it is caused by calcium phosphate, not uric acid.
Often, gout first attacks your big toe. It
can also attack ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers and elbows.
You are more likely to get gout if you:
Are a man
Have family
member with gout
Drink
alcohol
At first, gout attacks usually get better in
days. Eventually, attacks last longer and occur more often. Uric acid buildup
can lead to kidney stones.
Untreated gout can cause permanent joint and kidney damage. You can treat gout
with medicines.
Gout
Gout is caused by deposition of urate crystals in the joints due to elevated levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) in the blood. It typically presents as sudden, severe pain and swelling in one joint, often the big toe. Diagnosis is confirmed by identifying needle-shaped urate crystals in joint fluid under polarized light microscopy. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, medications like colchicine and allopurinol to prevent attacks and lower uric acid levels long-term.
Pathophysiology of Gout
Gout is caused by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints due to hyperuricemia or high levels of uric acid in the blood. It most commonly affects the big toe joint, causing sudden and severe pain. Over time, if untreated, it can progress to a chronic arthritis and formation of tophi or urate deposits in other tissues. Hyperuricemia occurs due to increased production or decreased excretion of uric acid, which can be due to diet, genetics or medical conditions.

Gout
Gouty arthritis is a form of arthritis that is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. The condition is characterized by sudden and severe attacks of pain, redness, and swelling in the affected joint(s). Gouty arthritis is a chronic condition that can lead to joint damage, disability, and other complications if left untreated.
## Causes of Gouty Arthritis
Gouty arthritis is caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the blood, a condition called hyperuricemia. Uric acid is a waste product that is produced when the body breaks down purines, substances that are found naturally in the body and in certain foods. When there is too much uric acid in the blood, it can form sharp, needle-like crystals that accumulate in the joints, leading to inflammation and pain.
## Symptoms of Gouty Arthritis
The symptoms of gouty arthritis typically include sudden and severe pain in the affected joint(s), along with redness, swelling, and warmth. The pain is usually most severe during the first 12-24 hours of an attack, and can last for several days to weeks. Over time, gouty arthritis can lead to chronic joint pain, stiffness, and damage.
## Diagnosis of Gouty Arthritis
Gouty arthritis is typically diagnosed based on a combination of symptoms, medical history, and laboratory tests. A doctor may perform a physical exam to look for signs of inflammation and check the affected joint(s) for swelling, redness, and warmth. Blood tests may be done to measure the level of uric acid in the blood, and a sample of fluid from the affected joint(s) may be analyzed to look for the presence of uric acid crystals.
## Treatment of Gouty Arthritis
The treatment of gouty arthritis typically involves a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. Medications may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and inflammation, and corticosteroids or colchicine to reduce the severity and duration of gout attacks. Lifestyle changes may include maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding foods high in purines.
## Prevention of Gouty Arthritis
The prevention of gouty arthritis involves making lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of hyperuricemia and gout attacks. This may include maintaining a healthy weight, drinking plenty of water, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding foods high in purines, such as red meat, shellfish, and organ meats.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, gouty arthritis is a chronic condition that can lead to joint damage and other complications if left untreated. The condition is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Gout is a metabolic disorder where uric acid crystals deposit in joints, causing inflammation. It occurs when uric acid levels in the blood are too high. Gout most commonly affects the big toe joint, causing sudden and severe pain. Risk factors include diet, obesity, family history, and certain medications. Diagnosis involves testing joint fluid or blood for uric acid levels, and imaging like x-rays or ultrasounds. Treatment focuses on medications to reduce uric acid or prevent attacks, and dietary changes like limiting high-purine foods and alcohol. Following a gout-friendly diet and staying hydrated can help manage symptoms.
Uric acid metabolism and Gout
This document discusses uric acid metabolism and the disease gout. It begins by explaining that uric acid is produced from the breakdown of purines and is normally excreted by the kidneys. Gout occurs when uric acid crystals deposit in the joints, causing inflammation. The document then covers the pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical features including acute attacks and chronic tophi formation, diagnosis, and management of gout with medications such as colchicine, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, allopurinol, and febuxostat. The goal of treatment is to reduce uric acid levels and prevent gout flares.
Gouty arthritis
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid crystallizes and deposits in joints, causing sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling and tenderness. Gout typically affects the big toe joint initially and can progress through stages from asymptomatic hyperuricemia to acute attacks of gouty arthritis, periods of intercritical gout, and finally chronic tophaceous gout if left untreated. Risk factors include genetics, diet high in purines, obesity, medications and other medical conditions.
Secondary diabetes
Secondary diabetes occurs when diabetes is caused by another underlying condition or medical treatment. Some examples of secondary diabetes included cystic fibrosis related diabetes, which occurs when cystic fibrosis damages the pancreas, preventing proper insulin production. Hemochromatosis, also called "bronze diabetes", occurs when excess iron absorption causes skin darkening and hyperglycemia. Conditions like pancreatitis, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, and rare tumors can also potentially lead to secondary diabetes by impacting insulin regulation and production.

This document discusses several upper gastrointestinal disorders including GERD, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer, and their associated risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnoses, and treatments. GERD is caused by esophageal reflux and common symptoms include heartburn and acid regurgitation. Risk factors include obesity, smoking, and high-fat foods. Diagnoses may involve barium swallow, endoscopy, or acid perfusion tests. Treatment involves dietary changes, medications like antacids or proton pump inhibitors, and lifestyle modifications. Peptic ulcers are breaks in the stomach or duodenal mucosa and are associated with protein meals, alcohol, smoking, NSAIDs, and H. pylori infection. Gastric cancer
GOUTY ARTHRITIS
Gouty arthritis results from deposition of urate crystals in the joints due to chronic hyperuricaemia. It is most common in middle-aged men and is increasing in prevalence worldwide due to aging populations and obesity. Acute gout causes sudden, severe pain in one or few joints like the toe or ankle. Chronic gout leads to frequent attacks and tophus formation, causing permanent joint damage. Treatment involves NSAIDs to relieve pain, colchicine or uricosuric drugs to prevent attacks, and allopurinol long-term to lower urate levels and prevent complications. Lifestyle changes like weight loss, fluid intake and diet modification also help control gout.
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.

CORNEAL EDEMA.pptx
Corneal edema occurs when the corneal thickness increases and transparency decreases due to a buildup of fluid between the corneal layers. Fluid accumulation can be caused by inflammation from conditions like corneal ulcers or iridocyclitis, trauma from mechanical injuries or surgery, increased intraocular pressure, corneal hypoxia, or dystrophic eye conditions. Symptoms include decreased vision acuity and seeing colored halos. Treatment focuses on removing the excess fluid through the use of hot air, saline drops or ointment, or glycerin drops.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related loss of the eye's ability to focus on near objects. It typically begins around age 40 and causes symptoms like eyestrain and headaches when reading. Tests like visual acuity and refraction exams are used to diagnose presbyopia. Treatment involves using appropriate corrective lenses matched to the patient's specific needs, like bifocals or progressive lenses, to bring their near vision point within a comfortable reading distance. Presbyopia is a natural part of aging and should not be overcorrected, as that can cause discomfort.
Aphakia
Aphakia is the absence of the crystalline lens in the eye. It can be congenital or acquired through cataract surgery. Patients with aphakia experience high hyperopia and a loss of accommodation. Treatment options include spectacle correction, contact lenses, intraocular lens implantation, or refractive corneal surgery. Each option has advantages and disadvantages related to image quality, comfort, risk of complications, and cost.

This document defines and describes myopia (nearsightedness). There are several types of myopia depending on the mechanism, including axial, curvature, and index myopia. Clinically, myopia can be congenital, simple, or pathological depending on presentation. Pathological myopia develops in childhood, progresses significantly, and causes degenerative changes to the fundus. Myopia is diagnosed through visual acuity and refraction tests and treated with corrective lenses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. Proper treatment depends on the type and severity of myopia.

ANATOMY & HISTOLOGY OF CONJUNCTIVA
The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and covers the anterior portion of the eye. It has three parts - the marginal, tarsal, and orbital conjunctiva. The marginal conjunctiva extends from the eyelid margin to the subtarsal fold. The tarsal conjunctiva is firmly attached to the tarsal plate. The orbital conjunctiva lies loosely over underlying structures. Histologically, the conjunctiva has an epithelial layer, adenoid layer, and fibrous layer. The epithelial layers vary between regions from stratified squamous to columnar epithelium. The adenoid layer contains lymphocytes and the fibrous layer consists of collagen and elastic fibers with blood vessels and nerves
Hirschberg test
The Hirschberg test provides an objective estimate of the angle of a manifest squint by measuring the deviation of the corneal light reflex from the center of the pupil in the squinting eye when the patient fixates on a point light held 33cm away. Each millimeter of deviation roughly equals 7 degrees of squint, with 15 degrees indicated if the light reflex reaches the pupil border and 45 degrees if it reaches the limbus.
Maddox rod
1. The Maddox rod test uses a red or white lens with parallel cylinders to convert a point light source into a vertical streak of light, which is used to assess the type and size of strabismus.
2. The test procedure involves placing the Maddox rod in front of one eye to see a vertical streak while fixating on a distant light with both eyes. The relative position of the streak compared to the light indicates the type of strabismus.
3. The amount of strabismus is measured by adding prisms until the streak is seen passing through the light, indicating the strength of prism needed to align the eyes.
Maddox wing
The Maddox wing is an instrument used to measure the amount of near phoria at 33cm through dissociating two dissimilar images seen by each eye. To administer the test, the right eye views a red and white arrow on a scale while the left eye views only the numbers on the scale, with the patient identifying the number indicated by the arrows' positions. The test requires a brightly lit room and the patient wearing any needed optical correction.
Ophthalmoscope
Ophthalmoscopy is a test performed during an eye exam that allows a health professional to examine the interior structures of the eye, especially the retina, using an ophthalmoscope. There are two main types - direct ophthalmoscopy, where the health professional looks directly into the eye, and indirect ophthalmoscopy, where a light is shone into the eye so the health professional can view the retina through a lens. Ophthalmoscopy is used to check for signs of eye diseases and conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and retinal tears or detachments.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
