Transcript: Technique Conclusion Patient Response 2010 Prominent leukoencephalopathy with multiple differential considerations as discussed above. 2006 MRI Following having a cavity filled, pt. experienced acute facial pain radiating down arm. Admitted to the hospital for 3 days. CAT scan. Discharged. Repeat MRI Again noted are multiple areas of increased T2 weighted signal throughout the hemispheric white matter which have progressed somewhat since the prior MRI of 2006. Some of these lesions are periventricular in location. There is no associated restricted diffusion and enhancement pattern is normal. A differential diagnosis exists. Possibilities would include small vessel scheming changes the patient has severe hypertension or diabetes. Another possibility would be demyelinating disease such as MS. No hemorrhage or mass lesions is present. Periventricular hyperintensities Diagnostic Criteria Impression Expanded Disability Status Scale Kurtzke, 1985 Impression Composed of 8 functional assessments: Visual Brainstem Pyramidal Cerebellar Sensory Bowel/Bladder Cerebral Other 2006 Dx: Multiple Sclerosis Relapsing/Remitting form Tx: Copaxone - daily Sub-Q injection Prognosis: Patient is maintaining functional status. EDSS = 3.5 She has had one exacerbation since starting DMD. Adherence to tx regime difficult due to pt's thinness. Considering switching to Tysabri (monoclonal antibody given once-a-month by IV infusion) Referral to Neurologist for workup following an acute loss of vision in both OS/OD, increased fatigue, weakness and headache. MRI: The examination is abnormal and reveals prominent rather symmetric regions of leukoencephalopathy in the deep white matter tracts, primarily in the subcortical portions of the centrum semiovale and adjacent to the lateral ventricular surfaces. A few of these regions are associated with diffusion restriction; no abnormal enhancement or mass effect is seen. These changes are suspicious for either prominent demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis or perhaps exuberant chronic microvascular disease for age. Other considerations such as vasculitis would seem reasonable as well. 2010 MRI Extensive signal abnormality within the white matter which has progressed since previous studies White Matter Hyperintensities "Please call pt. MRI brain & orbits was essentially the same as in 2006." Patient: M.S. Age: 59 Gender: Female Race/ethnicity: White, non-Hispanic Chief Complaint: 20+ year history of temporary bilateral vision loss, headache/migraine, eye pain, balance impairment, vertigo, peripherial neuropathy (feet), weakness, and fatigue. Clinical Case Presentation Janet Morrison RN, MSN, MSCN Clinical Case Presentation of Multiple Sclerosis At 1.5 Tesla, appropriate pulse sequences were employed in multiple planes both before and after the IV administration of a gadolinium contrast agent. 1983 - Age 30 Abrupt onset bilateral vision loss lasting 10 days. H/O spousal abuse. Diagnosis: Atypical Migraine Ongoing symptoms - retrobulbar pain when looking up or down, Intermittent vision & balance problems, Peripheral neuropathy (feet). Hospitalized 5+ times. Dx: Viral Labyrinthitis. Tx: Ativan, Compazine. 1993 - Age 40 Neurologist consulted. EEG. Electromyelogram. Dx: Migraine & Vertigo. Tx: Depakote 1995 - Age 42 MVA Concussion, Seat belt trauma. 2006 - Age 53 Fell down stairs due to weakness. Fractured 3 thoracic vertebral bodies and coccyx. Relevant Past History Patient called radiology group requesting her MRIs from 2006 and 2010. Read radiologist's reports. Sought opinion from another neurologist. Diagnosis: Multiple Sclerosis Self-referred to university-based MS Neurology Clinic in a large urban health science center. Workup included repeat MRI, opthalmological exam, spinal tap, evoked potentials. Dx: Confirmed MS Tx: Copaxone Expanded Disability Status Scale EDSS "Tell pt. it showed some white spots which is common in migraines" Spoke with pt. 8/16/06

Ca level increase could be attributed to her hyperparathyroidism (too much PTH secondary to the kidney failure). The kidneys are damaged, so they are not making enough Erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells. As a result, the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells, causing anemia -> This is why the patient is receiving Epoetin alfa. BUN and Creatinine are normally removed by the kidneys, but since the kidneys are not functioning, these levels in the blood increase. References Community of Residence

Transcript: Clinical Examination Physical Examination Anthropometry: 90kg, 1.60m, BMI: 35.1 (obesity type 1), abdominal circumference: 90cm. General Exam: Afebrile, hydrated, without cyanosis or jaundice. Posterior neck hyperpigmentation (possible acanthosis nigricans) Cardiac: HR: 90 bpm, BP: 120/80 mmHg. Pulmonary, neurological, gynecological exams: Normal. Clinical Case Complementary Tests HbA1c: 7.2% (elevated). Fasting glucose: 198 mg/dL (elevated). Creatinine: 1.2 mg/dL (moderately high). Lipid Profile: Total cholesterol: 170 mg/dL, HDL: 51 mg/dL, LDL: 100 mg/dL, Triglycerides: 130 mg/dL. (acceptable levels) Urine analysis: Glucose (2+/4+) protein (1+/4+), no bacteria. Clinical Case Presentation : Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus A 60-year-old patient presents with complaints of polyuria, polydipsia, hyperpigmentation in the posterior cervical region, and recurrent urinary infections. Her father passed away at 54 years old from an acute myocardial infarction, and her mother has systemic arterial hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. She reports a sedentary lifestyle but maintains a balanced diet with nutritious and low-fat foods. Laboratory findings indicate several altered parameters. Medical History Diagnosis Conclusion Presenter : Eric Gabriel Serpa Brunhara Personal: Denies chronic degenerative diseases and allergies. Occasional ciprofloxacin use for UTIs. Family: Father died at 54 from myocardial infarction; mother has Type 2 Diabetes and hypertension; brother died of prostate cancer at 50. Lifestyle: Sedentary but follows a balanced diet; denies alcohol, smoking, or drug use. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was confirmed based on the following factors: Fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL and HbA1C ≥ 6.5%. Acanthosis nigricans in the posterior cervical region, an indicator of insulin resistance. Symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia, and recurrent urinary infections, which are also common in uncontrolled diabetes." Patient Identification This case illustrates that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a manageable condition through effective treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Prevention strategies should focus on adopting healthy habits, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management. Regular follow-up visits are crucial for early detection of signs of insulin resistance, ultimately improving prognosis and quality of life. Chief Complaint History of Present Illness (HPI) Patient Identification: M.A.C, a 60-year-old female Occupation: Teacher Color: brown Location: Fortaleza, Brazil Dark spot around the neck was noticed three weeks ago. Treatment Outcome and Prognosis Over the last 3 months, the patient experienced dysuria and low-grade fever for 3 consecutive days. Diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and treated with ciprofloxacin. The UTI recurred twice in the following months despite completing the prescribed medication. Over the past month, she developed symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia, especially disturbing at night. Noticed hyperpigmentation around the posterior neck region and sought medical help. Lifestyle Modifications: Increased physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet. Medications: Metformin (first line): Inhibits hepatic glucose production, increases insulin sensitivity. Monitoring: Frequent glucose testing (pre- and post-prandial) to adjust therapy. No evidence of chronic complications Vigilant monitoring for retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy. The patient has a good prognosis with proper lifestyle modifications and adherence to medication. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled within 1 to 3 months.
