I drank too much and now I can't walk: a case of alcohol-induced dysautonomia.

Abstract: Dysautonomia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which mediates both sympathetic and parasympathetic functions of the human body. Alcohol has been established to affect the autonomic function through liver injury and accumulation of vasodilators. Alcohol can induce peripheral neurological diseases as well. This case report describes a patient who had a chronic history of alcoholism and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus presenting for orthostatic hypotension and peripheral neuropathy without underlying liver disease or other endocrinopathies. Although diabetes mellitus was controlled pharmacologically and risk factors for orthostatic hypotension were managed conservatively, his symptoms did not improve which indicated an alcohol-related autonomic dysfunction, shedding light on one of long-term complications of alcoholism.

Lyonisation of human aberrant, X-chromosome with deletion of short arm [del (X) (p11)]

Abstract: SummarySummaryA female with secondary amenorrhoea was found to have a complete deletion of the short arm of chromosome X (Xp-) with almost no features of Turner's syndrome. The replication profile on Xq was further evaluated and was found to be compatible with normal Xq using eight normal females as controls. Only G-negative bands were early replicating. The highest incidence of early replicating bands was noted for band q13. It is suggested that q13, q24 and q28 could be critical bands in sexual development, due to the presence of some similarity of replicating pattern.

Routine Newborn Care

Abstract: The first four weeks of life of an infant are considered the neonatal period. During this period many complex physiologic changes occur, and the infant interacts with the different stimuli. Care during this period should be continuous and effective. Newborn care consists of evaluation for the need of resuscitation, a complete physical exam, administration of prophylactic medications and vaccines, adequate feedings, safe sleep, hygiene of the newborn, and other important areas for baby wellbeing.

A Case of Myxedema Coma Crisis Induced by Inhalation Injury.

Abstract: Myxedema coma is a life-threatening, critical condition in which many organ systems can be severely affected. It is considered the most severe presentation of hypothyroidism and should be treated immediately. Here, we discuss the case of a 58-year-old patient who presented with altered mental status, bradycardia, and hypothermia, the critical characteristics considered in this disorder after inhalation injury. In order to avoid a fatal outcome, aggressive therapy should be initiated upon presentation. This case will depict the typical presentation, the specific cause pertinent to this patient's condition, and the management of the acute condition of myxedema coma.
