Muehrcke's Nails
Wikipedia
As such, they do not move with nail growth, and disappear when pressure is applied to the nail (blanching the underlying nail bed): this distinguishes them from "true leukonychia striata" such as Mees' lines. [1] As in Terry's and half-and-half nails , the pattern is thought to be formed by bands of localized edema exerting pressure on the surrounding capillaries. [3] [5] Contents 1 Physiology 2 History 3 See also 4 References 5 Bibliography Physiology [ edit ] The appearance of Muehrcke's lines is associated specifically with marked hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin ≤ 2.2 g/dL) indicating decreased protein synthesis, which may occur during periods of metabolic stress (e.g. systemic infection, trauma, AIDS , chemotherapy ), or in hypoalbuminemic states such as the nephrotic syndrome or dietary protein deficiency . ... In a study published in BMJ , he examined patients with known chronic hypoalbuminemia and healthy volunteers, finding that the appearance of multiple transverse white lines was a highly specific marker for low serum albumin (no subject with the sign had SA over 2.2 g/dL), was associated with severity of the underlying condition, and disappeared upon successful treatment (corticosteroids in nephrotic syndrome) or direct infusion of HSA . [4] See also [ edit ] Mees' lines – a similar appearance, except the lines are in the nail and move as the nail grows Half and half nails Terry's nails List of cutaneous conditions References [ edit ] ^ a b Rapini, Ronald P.; Bolognia, Jean L.; Jorizzo, Joseph L.

[1] [2] This degeneration causes compressions in soft tissues and nerve root locations in the ultimate caudal area of the medulla , causing neuropathic pain in the lumbar vertebrae . [3] [4] It is analogous to Cauda equina syndrome in humans.

Cardiac Myxoma

[1] [2] Most myxomas arise sporadically (90%), and only about 10% are thought to arise due to inheritance. [3] About 10% of myxomas are inherited, as in Carney syndrome . Such tumors are called familial myxomas. ... Other abnormalities are observed in people with Carney syndrome include skin myxomas, pigmentation, endocrine hyperactivity, schwannomas and epithelioid blue nevi . [1] Myxomas are more common in women than men. [1] [4] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they accompany a change of body position.

Respiratory Compromise
Wikipedia
Although respiratory failure is caused by a heterogeneous group of processes, there are subsets of patients who manifest similar physiologic patterns of deterioration [4] Impaired control of breathing – e.g. opioid overdose Impaired airway protection – e.g. cerebrovascular accident (CVA) Parenchymal lung disease – e.g. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Increased airway resistance – e.g. COPD exacerbation Hydrostatic pulmonary edema – e.g. left ventricular heart failure Right ventricular failure – e.g. acute pulmonary embolism Risk factors [ edit ] The term respiratory compromise is used to describe various intensities of respiratory dysfunction that can range from a chronic state of respiratory insufficiency to conditions that require emergency resuscitation and a breathing machine. [ citation needed ] Risk factors include a variety of substances, conditions, and environments: [5] Acute respiratory distress syndrome Age Asthma Care setting COPD COVID-19 General anesthesia , opioids , and neuromuscular blocking agents Obesity Pneumonia and other respiratory infections Pulmonary fibrosis Sleep apnea In addition to the lung deterioration observed for the various etiologies and mechanisms of respiratory compromise, severe respiratory compromise can have a concomitant impact on non-pulmonary systems of the body. [6] Diagnosis [ edit ] Central to implementing therapies to reverse or mitigate a state of respiratory compromise is an accurate diagnosis of the condition.

Retinal Haemorrhage

The mechanism of the trauma is believed to be repeated acceleration and deceleration with or without blunt impact ( shaken baby syndrome ). [4] Around 85% of victims suffer from AHT will have retinal hemorrhages and it increases in severity with increasing likelihood of abuse. [5] However, claims regarding Shaken Baby Syndrome are not universally agreed upon and have conflicting scientific evidence. [6] Diagnosis [ edit ] A retinal hemorrhage is generally diagnosed by using an ophthalmoscope or fundus camera in order to examine the inside of the eye.
