type 1 diabetes
Diabetes of a form that usually develops during childhood or adolescence and is
characterized by a severe deficiency of insulin, leading to high blood glucose levels.
polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia.
type 2 diabetes
Diabetes of a form that develops especially in adults and most often obese individuals
and that is characterized by high blood glucose resulting from impaired insulin utilization
coupled with the body's inability to compensate with increased insulin production.
Pathophysiology of diabetes
The pathophysiology of diabetes involves plasm concentrations of glucose signaling the
central nervous system to mobilize energy reserves. It is based on cerebral blood flow
and tissue integrity, arterial plasma glucose, the speed that plasma glucose
concentrations fall, and other available metabolic fuels. Low plasma glucose causes a
surge in autonomic activity.
acromegaly
abnormal enlargement of the extremities. occurs in adults
, hyperthyroidism
excessive activity of the thyroid gland- >thyroxine
Insomnia, restlessness, tremor, irritability, palpitations, heat intolerance, diaphoresis,
diarrhea, inability to concentrate that interferes with work performance; enlarged thyroid
gland
Increased basal metabolic rate leads to weight loss, although appetite and dietary
intake increase.
hyperparathyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in which one or more of the parathyroid glands
become overactive and secrete too much parathyroid hormone (PTH). This causes the
levels of calcium in the blood to rise, a condition known as hypercalcemia.
childhood gigantism
pituitary gigantism when your child's pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone,
which is also known as somatotropin. if not treated they will have a lower life
expectancy and weak limbs. risk of cardiomegaly and heart failure
hypothyroidism
A disorder caused by a thyroid gland that is slower and less productive than normal
ØDecreased basal metabolic rate
ØWeakness, lethargy, cold intolerance, decreased appetite
ØBradycardia, narrowed pulse pressure, and mild/moderate weight gain
ØElevated serum cholesterol and triglycerides
ØEnlarged thyroid, dry skin, constipation
ØDepression, difficulties with concentration/memory
