Different types of dialysis - ANSWERS-*#Hemodialysis*
#Peritoneal dialysis
#Continuous renal replacement therapy
Diabetes insipidus ,understand relationship with hydration and sodium -
ANSWERS-Diabetes insipidus can cause an imbalance in minerals in your blood,
such as sodium and potassium (electrolytes), that maintains the fluid balance in
your body.
Specific blood and urine tests can point to a diagnosis of diabetes insipidus, such
as
#*A high sodium level (hypernatraemia)*
,#*High concentration of the blood (serum or plasma osmolality)*,
#*Low urine concentration (urine osmolality).*
Goiter / iodine relationship - ANSWERS-Iodine deficiency is the most common
cause of goiter. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormone.
Insufficient iodine in the diet causes the thyroid gets larger to try and capture all
the iodine it can, so it can make the right amount of thyroid hormone.
Cryoblation use. - ANSWERS-A procedure in which an extremely cold liquid or an
instrument called a cryoprobe is used to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue.
Cryoablation is sometimes used as a primary treatment for:
# Bone cancer.
# Cervical cancer.
# Eye cancer.
Diabetes Insipidus - ANSWERS-Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately,
or the kidney is resistant to its effect. The *serum sodium is often elevated* due
to excess free water losses.
,In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't
properly concentrate urine.
Cardiac Valve Disease Process - ANSWERS-In heart valve disease, one or more of
the valves in your heart doesn't work properly. Regurgitation (or leakage of the
valve). When the valve(s) do not close completely, it causes blood to flow
backward through the valve. This reduces forward blood flow and can lead to
volume overload in the heart.
Turner syndrome - ANSWERS-A chromosomal disorder in females in which either
an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of
one X chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease - ANSWERS-A human genetic disease caused by a recessive
allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the
brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually
become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a few years.
Down syndrome - ANSWERS-A condition of mild to severe intellectual disability
and associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes
narrowed, it limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is
, forced to pump blood with increased force to move blood through the narrowed
or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications - ANSWERS-Heart valve disease can cause many
complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
Respiratory Illness from bats - ANSWERS-*Viral hemorrhagic fevers* are spread by
contact with infected animals or insects. The viruses that cause viral hemorrhagic
fevers live in a variety of animal and insect hosts.
Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, or bats. Some viral
hemorrhagic fevers can also be spread from person to person.
Anemia - ANSWERS-Different types of anemia include:
Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency
Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
