1. Celiac Disease: * Lining of small intestine sees gluten as foreign invader
* Testing is IgA-tTG, Total IgA
2. Sjorgerens Syndrome: * Typically affects older women or patients with RA &
Lupus
* Immune disorder with dry eyes and dry mouth
* Testing SSA+ and SSB+
3. Cinnamon effects: * Decreases glucose by acting like insulin at the cellular level
* Decreases cholesterol
* Decreases blood pressure
4. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS): * Birth defect changing normal blood
flow through heart
* 3-5 year survival for 70% of infants with Stage I repair
* after age 12 months long term survival 90%
* Dx: echo * Tx: Surgery
* S/S: high HR, SOB, poor feeding, cold/blue skin, weak
* L side heart NOT fully developed (L ventricle, mitral & aortic valve, ascending aorta,
Atrial Septal Defect)
* 1st few days of life R side works to make up for L side. Patent Ductus Arteriosus
& Patent Foramen Ovale assist with flow during this time.
5. Parathyroid Function: Produce Parathyroid Hormone and regulate Serum Cal-
cium (Ca+)
6. Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: * Progressive genetic disorder caus-
ing child to age 10x faster than normal
* Caused by defective LMNA making protein Progerin
* S/S: short, slow growth, slow hair growth, 2 year tooth delay, wrinkles, dry skin
* Tx: NSAIDS, Statins, bone health, physical therapy
7. Diabetic Neuropathy Pain Meds: Cymbalta
Lyrica
, Neurontin
8. Hydrotherapy: Helps with neurological and musculoskeletal diseases. Especially
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG)
9. Decreased Lung Sounds Post Trauma (cause and tx): * Most likely caused by
pneumonthorax (air leaks between lungs and chest wall from blunt or penetrating
chest injury)
* Testing is IgA-tTG, Total IgA
