Management of hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is defined as a plasma glucose level below 4.0 mmol/L or the development of autonomic or neuroglycopenic symptoms in patients taking insulin or oral anti-diabetic drugs that are reversed by caloric intake. Causes include missed or delayed meals, excessive exercise, alcohol, errors in medication dosage, and other medical conditions. Treatment involves promptly detecting and treating low blood glucose, eliminating symptoms quickly, and avoiding overcorrection to prevent poor glycemic control. Management depends on severity of symptoms and involves ingesting 15-20 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates and retesting blood glucose levels. Education of patients and caregivers is important for prevention and proper response.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood glucose levels fall below normal levels. When this happens, the body activates mechanisms to raise blood glucose like increasing glucagon release and reducing glucose uptake. Prolonged insulin therapy can impair these mechanisms. Symptoms of hypoglycemia range from sweating to confusion. Treatment involves consuming carbohydrates to raise glucose levels. Patients at risk require education to prevent hypoglycemia and its complications like hypoglycemia unawareness.
Presentation on Hypoglycemia
This document discusses hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), including its causes, symptoms, management, and prevention. It defines hypoglycemia as a low serum glucose level and describes the most common causes as taking too much insulin (for diabetics) or lack of food intake. Symptoms are discussed as well as treatment approaches, which involve giving oral glucose, IV dextrose, or glucagon injections depending on the severity and consciousness of the patient. Reactive hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar occurring after eating, is also examined along with potential contributing factors and recommended treatments like dietary changes and frequent small meals. Prevention strategies highlighted include eating regularly, exercising with food, and diabetics always carrying fast-acting sugar.

Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia
Characterized by an abnormally low level of blood sugar below a set point
Normal range : 70-110 mg/dL or 3.9-6.1mmol/L
Glucose is body’s main energy source
Hypoglycemia is Not a disease in itself
But the Indicator of health problems
Hypoglycaemia
This document summarizes key points about hypoglycemia and diabetic emergencies. It defines hypoglycemia and describes glucose homeostasis and the body's response to low blood sugar levels. The clinical features and mechanisms of hypoglycemia are outlined. Hypoglycemia is classified as either postabsorptive or postprandial. Postabsorptive hypoglycemia implies an underlying disease that requires diagnosis and treatment. Hypoglycemia is a major problem for patients with diabetes and predisposes them to recurrent low blood sugar episodes through hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure. Conventional risk factors are based on relative or absolute insulin excess compromising the body's natural defenses against dropping glucose levels.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop too low. Symptoms include shakiness, dizziness, weakness and sweating, which develop within 10-15 minutes. These symptoms are caused by low blood sugar triggering the release of hormones to raise blood sugar levels back to normal. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused by diabetes but can also result from medications, alcohol, skipping meals, or not eating enough. It is diagnosed through a blood sugar level test.
APPROACH TO A CASE OF COMA IN DIABETIC PATIENT
This case study describes a 60-year-old diabetic woman who presented to the emergency department in a comatose state. Her history and examination findings were consistent with severe hypoglycemia. Laboratory tests found her blood sugar was very low at 34 mg/dL. She was treated with intravenous glucose which reversed her symptoms within 10 minutes. Hypoglycemia was determined to be the cause, likely due to her sulfonylurea medication in the context of missing a meal. The document reviews the general approach and differential diagnosis for coma in diabetics, emphasizing the need to consider severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, and other potential causes.

Proper treatment of DKA involves fluid replacement, insulin administration, and monitoring of blood glucose, electrolytes, and pH to correct dehydration, hyperglycemia, and acidosis. Failure to treat the patient's DKA led to worsening of her condition.
Hypoglycemi for dm educators
This document provides information about hypoglycemia for diabetes educators. It defines hypoglycemia as a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL and describes the physiological response and counter-regulatory hormones involved. Symptoms of hypoglycemia are outlined as either hyperadrenergic or neuroglycopenic depending on blood glucose level. Causes of hypoglycemia include insulin excess, reduced food intake, exercise, and organ dysfunction. Management involves prevention through education, recognition and treatment of low blood sugar with fast-acting carbohydrates, and addressing the underlying cause to prevent future episodes.
Diabetic emergency
This document provides information on diabetic emergencies including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS), and hypoglycemia. It defines each condition, describes their pathogenesis and precipitating factors, outlines their clinical features and diagnostic criteria, and provides guidance on management and treatment. DKA is characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and high ketone levels, while HHS involves severe hyperglycemia, hyperosmolality, and minimal ketosis. Hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose level below 3.9 mmol/L. The document emphasizes the need for prompt treatment of these diabetic emergencies.
MANAGEMENT OF DKA.pptx
This document presents the case of a 24-year-old female with type 1 diabetes who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). On examination, she had signs of dehydration, tachycardia, and lab results consistent with DKA including high blood glucose, low pH, high anion gap, and positive ketones. She was diagnosed with DKA, likely precipitated by running out of insulin. The summary outlines the management of DKA, including fluid resuscitation, insulin therapy, electrolyte replacement, and treatment of any concurrent infections to stabilize the patient and transition them to subcutaneous insulin.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Cluster Mapping of Medical Tourism in Turkey and Regional Clustering for Heal...Istanbul Beykent University (İstanbul Beykent Üniversitesi)
As the world population is aging, Health tourism has become vitally important and will be increased day by day. Because
of the availability of quality health services and more favorable prices as well as to shorten the waiting list for medical
services regionally and internationally. There are some aspects of managing and doing marketing activities in order for
medical tourism to be feasible, in a region called as clustering in a region with main stakeholders groups includes Health
providers, Tourism cluster, etc. There are some related and affecting factors to be considered for the feasibility of medical
tourism within this study such as competitiveness, clustering, Entrepreneurship, SMEs. One of the growth phenomenon
is Health tourism in the city of Izmir and Turkey. The model of five competitive forces of Porter and The Diamond model
that is an economical model that shows the four main factors that affect the competitiveness of a nation and its industries
in this study. The short literature of medical tourism and regional clustering have been mentioned.TEST BANK For Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 14...

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
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 AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
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. Selective α1-Blocker.pptx
