Abstract:

For many people, jaundice will occur as part of an episode of acute, self-limiting, viral hepatitis but in the context of chronic hepatic disease or malignancy, the development of jaundice or ascites is usually an ominous indicator of advanced disease. In two reported studies of individuals admitted to hospital with jaundice, 24% and 42% of patients with malignancy and 23% with cirrhosis died during their first admission. The necessity of a willingness to adopt a ‘palliative approach’ to the care of such individuals is obvious. This chapter discusses three features of liver impairment that may

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) offers life-saving treatment options for patients with advanced heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and acute cardiopulmonary failure.

This textbook seeks to provide a logical and systematic framework for managing patients who require MCS therapies.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization defines stroke as ‘a clinical syndrome consisting of rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function lasting greater than 24 hours (or leading to death) with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin’. Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is defined as a rapid presentation of neurological deficit with complete recovery within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. However, the 24-hour cut-off is arbitrary, has no biological basis, and is of limited use clinically. A shorter duration is now regarded as more appropria

Circadian (approximately 24-hour) rhythms are generated by a hierarchical system responsible for coordinating behaviour and physiology throughout the 24-hour day. Increasing evidence supports roles for disruption of the circadian system in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and depression. We outline the key aspects of circadian system regulation, discuss the findings indicating that biological disruption of the circadian system produces various behavioural and metabolic abnormalities, and review human studies which show that environmental disruption of the circadian system contributes

The urea cycle is the final pathway for removal of surplus nitrogen from the body, the major route in humans for irreversible detoxification of ammonia and a source of arginine.2,3 Patients with adult-onset urea cycle disorders present with clinical symptoms that have a broad differential diagnosis (e.g., protein aversion, inappetence, cyclic vomiting, epilepsy, psychiatric disease, migraine, liver dysfunction). Unlike infants and children some adult-onset patients may never develop acute hyperammonemic crises. Since symptoms are often fluctuating and the diagnosis can only be made if specific

Abstract:

Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) is a very serious complication that can occur after a tonsillectomy. There are two broad categories of PTH, based on onset of bleeding: primary (less than 24 hours) or secondary (greater than 24 hours). Primary bleeding is often attributed to the surgical technique, and secondary bleeding is attributed to sloughing of healing surgical scar. Risk factors for PTH include male gender, age greater than 70 years (in adults), age greater than 5 years (in pediatrics), recurrent tonsillitis, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (particularly ketorolac), among

In that case at least two 24h collections, remote from any acute event are recommended, measuring volume, pH, calcium, oxalate, citrate, uric acid and phosphate.

Recent advances have resulted in five new treatments for CRPC: the immunotherapy sipuleucel-T; the cytotoxic cabazitaxel; the androgen biosynthesis inhibitor abiraterone acetate; the radioisotope radium-223; and the antiandrogen enzalutamide.

Other components comprise low-molecular-weight filtered proteins that have escaped reabsorption, and proteins secreted or lost into urine from cells of the nephron. Increased permeability of the glomerulus to high-molecular-weight proteins is the most common cause of the clinically detected proteinuria, and albu

Abstract:

Cushing’s syndrome is a descriptive term of a syndrome secondary to elevated levels of steroids or cortisol, while Cushing’s disease is hypercortisolemia that results from an adrenocorticotropic (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma. Patients will present with cushingoid features on physical examination and can be myopathic with proximal rather than distal muscle weakness. Diagnosis can be obtained by multiple avenues including but not limited to checking 24 hour urine cortisol, a dexamethasone suppression test, checking ACTH levels, a CRH (corticotrophin-releasing hormone) stimulation test, and

Abstract:

Major depressive disorder is a serious, debilitating, life-shortening illness that affects many persons of all ages and backgrounds. The point prevalence is high (2.3%–3.2% in men, 4.5%–9.3% in women) and the lifetime risk is 7% to 12% for men and 20% to 25% for women. Major depression is a disabling disorder that costs the United States over $200 billion per year in direct and indirect costs. Depression also has detrimental effects on all aspects of social functioning, such as self-care, social role, and family life, including household, marital, kinship, and parental roles. While there have

Abstract:

Shock remains a major cause of intensive care unit admission. Initially categorized into hypovolaemic, cardiogenic, and distributive shock, understanding of the pathophysiology has recently evolved such that tissue hypoperfusion in all shock states leads to a dysregulated inflammatory response. After 24 hours, septic shock and ischaemiareperfusion related to hypovolaemic and cardiogenic shock share similar haemodynamic and pro-inflammatory profiles. Vascular hyporesponsiveness to catecholamines is a major consequence of this common pathophysiology, which is focused upon activation of NF-κ‎b wi

Many have difficulty tolerating enteral nutrition in the early weeks of life until gastrointestinal motility has matured. Some develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) which carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality, and may be regarded as a failure of adaptation to postnatal life. Optimum nutrition should allow adequate growth in the short

Abstract:

This chapter traces the origin of the multidisciplinary team as a response to the wide range of needs of deinstitutionalized and ‘never institutionalized’ patients as care has become established in the community. It charts the early pragmatic and local evolution of CMHTs and case management and care management. It outlines how this was followed by a radical change around 1980 with the first published studies of assertive community treatment (ACT) in the US. A more rigorous, theoretically informed, and international research driven approach has become the norm. This has explored the relevance o

Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease is associated with the inability to control normal mineral homeostasis, resulting in abnormalities in serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and vitamin D metabolism. These disturbances lead to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism, skeletal abnormalities, vascular calcifications, and other systemic manifestations. Traditionally, mineral and bone abnormalities seen in chronic kidney disease were included in the term ‘renal osteodystrophy’. More recently, the term chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone dis
