Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:Symptoms of anxiety relating to Parkinson's disease (PD) occur commonly and include symptomatology associated with motor disability and complications arising from PD medication. However, there have been relatively few attempts to profile such disease-specific anxiety symptoms in PD. Consequently, anxiety in PD is underdiagnosed and undertreated. The present study characterizes PD-related anxiety symptoms to assist with the more accurate assessment and treatment of anxiety in PD.Methods:Ninety non-demented PD patients underwent a semi-structured diagnostic assessment targetin

Abstract:

People with HIV/AIDS are a vulnerable group whose symptoms can seriously affect their quality of life. HIV/AIDS symptoms can result from the disease itself, from secondary complications of the disease, or from side-effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and other medications related to comorbidities. HIV symptoms are the single most important indicators for patients and practitioners. Symptoms prompt patients to seek medical attention and provide health care providers with essential clues about changes in health status and quality of life. Despite increased recognition of the

Abstract:

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by choreiform movement of the limbs, cognitive disability, psychosis and dementia. It is untreatable, incurable, and ultimately fatal. HD is invariably associated with an abnormally long CAG expansion within the IT15 gene on human chromosome 4. Although the mutant huntingtin protein (mHtt) is ubiquitously expressed in HD patients, cellular degeneration occurs only in neurons within the striatum and cerebral cortex. The Ras homolog Rhes is expressed very selectively in the precise brain areas affected by HD. Recent work usin

End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) accounts for 1-2% of all deaths. Ageing populations means that this proportion will grow steadily over the coming years.

Many renal symptoms go under-recognized and under-treated, especially as they arise from co-morbid conditions, rather than the renal disease itself. The most useful intervention to address symptoms is regular assessment of symptoms, using a valid and reliable global symptom score. Phar

An understanding of psychiatric illness is critical to the practice of internal medicine. Since 30% to 40% of ambulatory primary care visits have a psychiatric component to the chief complaint, successful disease management often hinges on successful treatment of comorbid psychiatric illness. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is essential because many psychiatric symptoms are nonspecific. This situation is analogous to a patient presenting in general internal medicine with fever or nausea.

AbstractRheumatic diseases have many classification criteria and management guidelines that are continuously being updated in order to improve the quality of healthcare provision. With these ever-evolving criteria and guidelines, practicing clinicians need an easy way to get to the core of these updates and to retain them in an easy and memorable way. Classification criteria are meant to differentiate between similar diseases and also to confirm or rule out a certain disease based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The diagnosis of rheumatic diseases can be challenging since many clinical signs and symptoms as well as many laboratory markers are not specific and can be positive in many diseases.

Abstract:

Cardiomyopathy can be defined as a structural and functional myocardial disorder that is commonly genetic rather than due to coronary artery, valvular or congenital heart disease. It can be subcategorized into dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, unclassified, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia. They can be further subdivided into primary and secondary cardiomyopathy. Primary includes genetics (HOCM, ARVC/D), mixed (DCM, RCM) or acquired (stress-induced, myocarditis) causes; while secondary cardiomyopathy is derived from the involvement of other organ systems. Cardiomyopathies can be identified by echocardiogram to display the anatomic and functional changes related to each subtype including systolic or diastolic dysfunction. In certain instances, cardiac-MRI or CT are used to further elucidate its specific characteristics such as fatty infiltration and focal hypertrophy. Treatment is very diverse and catered to each individual case. This will all be further elaborated on in the following chapter.

Abstract:

The symptomatic repertoire of cardiac disease is relatively narrow and most conditions will present with one or more of chest pain, dyspnoea, palpitation, syncope, or presyncope. On the other hand, the differential diagnosis of each of these symptoms is broad and includes both cardiac and non-cardiac disorders. Certain features of acute chest pain alter the likelihood of acute coronary syndrome but, in isolation, the history is usually insufficient to rule in or rule out the diagnosis. Intermittent chest pain can be categorized as typical angina, atypical angina, or non-anginal based on three symptom characteristics; this classification has substantial diagnostic value and helps to determine the need for and the most appropriate mode of further investigation. Orthopnoea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea are more specific for heart failure than other forms of dyspnoea. However, it is not possible to diagnose either acute or chronic heart failure by the history alone. For both angina and chronic heart failure, the European Society of Cardiology recommends objective assessment of symptom severity using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society and New York Heart Association classifications respectively. Definitive diagnosis of palpitation usually requires documentation of the cardiac rhythm during symptoms but a clear description of the symptom may suggest the likely diagnosis and guide the optimal approach to rhythm monitoring. The history is invaluable in differentiating syncope and presyncope from other causes of transient loss of consciousness and dizziness. Beyond this, clinical features such as prodromal symptoms or precipitation of episodes by exposure to pain can help to distinguish cardiac from reflex syncope.

Abstract:

Renal disease may present in many ways, including (1) the screening of asymptomatic individuals; (2) with symptoms and signs resulting from renal dysfunction; and (3) with symptoms and signs of an underlying disease, often systemic, which has resulted in renal dysfunction. History and clinical signs—in many cases these are nonspecific or not apparent, and detection of renal disease relies on a combination of clinical suspicion and simple investigations, including urinalysis and estimation of renal function. Asymptomatic renal disease—this is common and most often detected as chronic depression of eGFR (known as chronic kidney disease, CKD), proteinuria, or haematuria, either as isolated features or in combination. Symptomatic renal disease—may present in many ways, including (1) with features of severe chronic depression of glomerular filtration rate—‘uraemia’, manifesting with some or all of anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, pruritus, breathlessness, bleeding tendency, apathy and loss of mental concentration, and muscle twitching and cramps; (2) acute kidney injury (AKI); (3) with urinary symptoms—frequency, polyuria, nocturia, oliguria, anuria, and visible (macroscopic) haematuria; and (4) loin pain. Specific renal syndromes—these include (1) nephrotic syndrome—comprising oedema, proteinuria, and hypoalbuminaemia—caused by primary or secondary glomerular disease; and (2) rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with AKI. Other conditions—renal disease may be associated with and present in the context of many underlying conditions, including (1) diabetes mellitus; (2) renovascular disease; (3) myeloma and other malignancies; (4) infectious diseases, either as a nonspecific manifestation of the sepsis syndrome or as a specific complication of the particular infection; (5) systemic inflammatory diseases; (6) drug-induced renal disease; and (7) pregnancy.

Abstract:

Concern about physical symptoms is a common reason for people to seek medical help. Many of these symptoms, such as headache, chest pain, weakness, dizziness, and fatigue, remain unexplained by identifiable disease even after careful medical assessment. Several general terms have been used to describe these types of symptom— somatoform, medically unexplained, and functional. We prefer the terms ‘medically unexplained physical symptom’ or ‘functional symptom’, because they imply a disturbance of some kind in bodily functioning without implying that the symptom is psychogenic. Patients and doctors often assume that a physical symptom implies that a physical pathology exists. However, commonly experienced and often severe, distressing, and disabling symptoms, such as menstrual pain or ‘tension headache’, indicate that this is not always the case. By assuming that a physical symptom is explained by physical disease/ pathology, we may be subjecting the patient to unnecessary tests and hospital visits, adding to patient distress, and failing to deliver the integrated management required. There are many kinds of these symptoms (Box 25.1), presenting across healthcare settings. They are considered in this psychiatry textbook because (1) psychological factors (including, at times, psychiatric disorder) are important in aetiology and (2) psychological and behavioural interventions have a fundamental role in treatment A major obstacle to effective management of patients with functional symptoms is that they feel their doctor does not believe them. They are concerned that they may be thought to be ‘putting it on’. Note that the deliberate manufacture or exaggeration of symptoms or signs (malingering) is quite different (see p. 359). Diagnoses of three kinds may be given: … ● Descriptive physical syndromes. These include fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, non- cardiac chest pain, chronic pain syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Although the specific terms are useful in everyday medical practice, there is substantial overlap, and many patients with, for example, fibromyalgia will also have IBS. ● Psychiatric syndromes as the primary cause of the functional symptoms. Psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and adjustment, are common primary causes of functional symptoms, and commonly present via the general hospital’s emergency department or cardiology clinic.

Abstract:

Parkinson’s disease is perhaps the most well-known neurodegenerative disorder that mainly occurs due to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons and consists of motor/non-motor symptoms. The progression of the symptoms is often varying from one person to another to the diversity of the disease. The condition causes a huge burden both on those affected, as well as their families. Accurate diagnosis is critical and challenging but still, no specific diagnostic process is available. The computer-aided diagnosis techniques of signalling and imaging processing are very helpful in the prediction and c

Abstract:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. MS is typically diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. There is no known cause of the disease and each individual experiences varying signs and symptoms depending on the severity of their disease. The most common symptoms include tremor, debilitated gait, visual impairment, or cognitive and emotional disturbances. Current methods used to treat MS include oral medication and surgical treatment. The issues with oral medication are the unwanted side effects to otherwise healthy tissue and the lack of p

Abstract:

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness occurring primarily in children less than 5 years of age. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, with over 4000 cases of KD diagnosed annually in the US alone. There is currently no clinical diagnostic test for KD, and diagnosis is made via a combination of symptoms including rash, swollen extremities, and fever. Approximately 20–25% of the untreated cases develop large aneurysms in the coronary arteries, which put the patient at severe risk for myocardial infarction.

Abstract:

The emergency of the Covid 19 pandemic has led technology to seek solutions to the different problems caused by the disease. In the monitoring area, connected devices offer new possibilities to a rapid detection and intervention of the new cases. They allow remote diagnostic to infected patients with covid 19 symptoms. However, the heterogeneity of the platform requires applications' developers to develop specific solutions for each platform. In this paper, we propose a cross-platform application that permits developer to use one code to build applications in different platforms. The paper des

Abstract:

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by symptoms like resting and action tremors, which cause severe impairments to the patient’s life. Recently, many assistance techniques have been proposed to minimize the disease’s impact on patients’ life. However, most of these methods depend on data from PD’s surface electromyography (sEMG), which is scarce. In this work, we propose the first methods, based on Neural Networks, for predicting, generating, and transferring the style of patient-specific PD sEMG tremor signals.

Background. Untreated maternal mental health disorders can have devastating sequelae for the mother and child. For women who are currently or planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding, a critical question is whether the benefits of treating psychiatric illness with pharmacologic interventions outweigh the harms for mother and child. Methods. We conducted a systematic review to assess the benefits and harms of pharmacologic interventions compared with placebo, no treatment, or other pharmacologic interventions for pregnant and postpartum women with mental health disorders.
