The document describes a case of an 11-year-old boy with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who presented with right testicular swelling. Ultrasound revealed a right-sided small hypoechoic mass. The most likely diagnosis is a testicular adrenal rest tumor (TART). TARTs are a common complication in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia that develop due to lack of suppression of adrenal tissue in the testes. If left untreated, TARTs can cause compression of the seminiferous tubules and lead to infertility. Screening with ultrasound is recommended annually beginning at age 5 to detect TARTs early.

This document discusses neonatal metabolic emergencies that are often missed. It begins by noting the prevalence of inborn errors of metabolism and how certain communities may be at higher risk. It then explores why metabolic emergencies are commonly missed, including non-specific symptoms, precipitating illnesses, lack of available tests, and failure to consider metabolic causes. Several case studies are presented to illustrate signs that should prompt suspicion of an underlying metabolic issue, such as recurrent or unexplained illness. Common metabolic disorders that can cause neonatal emergencies are listed. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering metabolic disorders when illnesses are unexplained or recurrent.
This document discusses metabolic disorders caused by inborn errors of metabolism. It explains that these disorders occur when the body is unable to break down nutrients normally due to defects in enzymes involved in metabolic pathways. This leads to toxic buildup of substrates that can damage tissues if not treated early. Specific disorders discussed include phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, citrullinemia, and tyrosinemia. The document emphasizes the importance of newborn screening to detect these disorders before symptoms appear in order to start early treatment and prevent negative health outcomes.

RENAL FUNCTION TESTS FOR PARAMEDICAL AND MEDICAL STUDENTSRAJNKIT
This document discusses renal function tests (RFTs). It begins by describing the functions of the kidney including formation of urine, excretion of waste products, and regulation of water and electrolytes. It then outlines the purposes of RFTs which are to assess renal damage, monitor disease progression, and adjust medication doses. RFTs measure glomerular function through tests of renal clearance and blood analytes like creatinine and urea. They also study tubular function using urine concentration, dilution, and other specialized tests. Common RFTs and their clinical significance are described in detail.
The document discusses liver function tests and their use in evaluating liver health and disease. It covers the metabolic, excretory, synthetic, detoxification and storage functions of the liver. Liver function tests are classified based on the liver's excretory, detoxification, and synthetic functions. Enzymes like ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, and bilirubin are discussed in the context of diagnosing different types of liver disease and jaundice. The document also discusses pancreatic function tests and enzymes like amylase and lipase that are indicators of pancreatic health and diseases like pancreatitis.
The document discusses the chemistry, digestion, and absorption of proteins and amino acids. It covers the structure and properties of proteins and the 20 standard amino acids. Key points include:
- Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They serve structural, enzymatic, transport, storage, and other functions in the body.
- Amino acids vary in their side chains, determining properties like charge, solubility, and metabolism. They are classified by properties like polarity, acid/base characteristics, and essential/non-essential status.
- Protein structure is determined by amino acid sequence and interactions between R groups. Secondary structures like alpha helices influence 3D shape.
Iron is an essential trace element required for oxygen transport and many enzymatic processes. Women and children have higher iron requirements. Dietary sources like jaggery are rich in iron while milk is poor. Factors like calcium, phytates and oxalates inhibit iron absorption in the duodenum and jejunum, while vitamin C and cysteine enhance absorption. Iron is important for carrying oxygen via hemoglobin, acting as an enzyme cofactor, and supporting brain and cell functions. Iron deficiency anemia results from low intake or increased losses and is characterized by low hemoglobin and red blood cell changes. It is commonly seen in pregnant women and treated with oral or parenteral iron supplements.
This document discusses the estimation of serum amylase levels. It describes amylase as the main enzyme for carbohydrate digestion produced by the salivary glands and pancreas. It then outlines two main methods for estimating serum amylase - the iodometric method and saccharogenic method. The iodometric method measures the decrease in color intensity of a starch-iodine solution after hydrolysis by serum amylase. Normal serum amylase levels are 25-125 U/L, and increased levels can indicate conditions like acute pancreatitis while decreased levels may be seen in necrotic pancreatitis or hepatitis.
Automation in clinical chemistry involves using laboratory instruments and equipment to perform clinical assays with minimal technologist involvement. Automation replaces human effort with mechanical devices regulated by feedback to be self-monitoring. The IUPAC defines automation as the replacement of human manipulation with instrumental devices regulated by feedback for self-adjustment. Colorimetry uses Beer's Law and Lambert's Law, where the amount of light transmitted through colored solutions decreases exponentially with increasing concentration or thickness according to the laws.
Optical techniques like photometry, spectrophotometry, and colorimetry are used in clinical laboratories. They are based on Beer's law and Lambert's law. Spectrophotometry measures light intensity at selected wavelengths using a light source, monochromator, sample cuvettes, detector, and display. It provides more sensitivity than colorimetry which determines color intensity based on light absorption. Both techniques rely on the principle that absorbed light is inversely proportional to concentration according to Beer-Lambert's law.
Electrochemistry deals with oxidation-reduction reactions where chemical energy is converted to electrical energy and vice versa. It involves the transfer of electrons between oxidizing and reducing agents. An electrochemical cell allows a redox reaction to occur by transferring electrons through an external connector. The potential difference between the anode and cathode is called the electromotive force (emf). Various electroanalytical techniques like potentiometry, voltammetry, conductometry, and coulometry are used for clinical applications such as measuring blood gases, electrolytes, and analytes. Optical chemical sensors called optodes are also used as they offer advantages over traditional electrodes.
This document discusses bioenergetics and the role of ATP in living systems. It explains that ATP stores and transports chemical energy within cells, which is released through its hydrolysis into ADP and phosphate. The hydrolysis of ATP is highly exergonic, with a large negative standard free energy change of -30.5 kJ/mol. This energy from ATP hydrolysis drives endergonic biochemical reactions and processes, such as the synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose and phosphate. The energy from ATP hydrolysis is efficiently coupled to these endergonic reactions through a cyclic process of ATP synthesis and breakdown.
This document discusses radioactivity and atomic structure. It begins by explaining the need to study radioactivity for diagnosis, therapy, and medical research. It then defines atoms and their structure, including atomic number and mass number. The document discusses isotopes and radioactive decay, including different types of decay and half-life. It also covers radiation properties, detection and measurement of radioactivity, and radiation safety quantities and units.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Q.2 What is accumulated ?
• Patients with disease are unable to degrade phytanic acid because of a deficient activity of phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase
(PhyH), a peroxisomal enzyme catalyzing the first step of phytanic acid alpha-oxidation.
• It is an autosomal recessive trait
• There is complex developmental sequelae, and progressive disabilities.
• Peripheral polyneuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, , retinits pigmentosa and ichthyosis are the major clinical components. The
symptoms evolve slowly and insidiously from childhood through adolescence and early adulthood.
• Symptoms begin by late childhood or adolescence, although there are reports of presentation as late as 50 years of age.
• Disease presents with anosmia and early-onset retinitis pigmentosa, with variable neuropathy, deafness, ataxia and
ichthyosis.
• Treatment
• Phytanic acid is obtained from the diet, particularly from meat and dairy products. Dietary restriction helps to control
sensory neuropathy, myopathy, ataxia and ichthyosis. In acute presentation
