Question
Answer
Ankylosing Spondylitis   Systemic condition characterized by inflammation of the spine and the larger peripheral joints  
🗑
Ankylosing Spondylitis   Males are at two to three times greater risk than females with peak onset observed between 20-40 years of age  
🗑
Ankylosing Spondylitis Clinical presentation   initially includes recurrent and insidious onset of back pain, morning stiffness, and impaired spinal extension  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1)   Insulin is functionally absent due to the destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, where the insulin would normally be produced  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1) Starts in children   ages four years or older, with the peak incidence of onset coinciding with early adolescence and puberty  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1) Common symptoms include   polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, nausea, weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and dehydration  
🗑
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy   X-linked recessive trait manifesting in only male offspring while female offspring become carriers  
🗑
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Clinical presentation   includes waddling gait, proximal muscle weakness, toe walking, pseudohypertrophy of the calf, and difficulty climbing stairs  
🗑
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy   There is usually rapid progression of this disease with the inability to ambulate by ten to twelve years of age with death occurring as a teenager or less frequently in the 20ʼs  
🗑
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Primary risk factors for contracting HIV include   unprotected sexual relations, intravenous drug use or mother to fetus transmission  
🗑
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)Patients may actually be   “symptom free” for one to two years post infection or may exhibit flu-like symptoms including rash and fever  
🗑
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)   Leading cause of death for patients with the virus is kidney failure secondary to the extended drug therapies  
🗑
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)   Autoimmune disorder found in children less than 16 years of age that occurs when the immune cells begin to attack the joints and organs causing local and systemic effects throughout the body  
🗑
Girls have a higher incidence of   JRA and are most commonly diagnosed as toddlers or in early adolescence  
🗑
Clinical symptoms JRA include   persistent joint swelling, pain, and stiffness  
🗑
Osteoporosis Metabolic bone disorder   where the rate of bone resorption accelerates while the rate of bone formation slows down  
🗑
Osteoporosis Patients may complain of   low thoracic or lumbar pain and experience compression fractures of the vertebrae  
🗑
Osteoporosis Bone mineral density test accounts for   70% of bone strength and is the easiest way to determine osteoporosis  
🗑
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Increase in sympathetic activity   causes a release of norepinephrine in the periphery and subsequent vasoconstriction of blood vessels resulting in pain and an increase in sensitivity to peripheral stimulation  
🗑
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy   Affects all age groups, but is most likely found in individuals 35-60 years of age with females being three times more likely to be affected than males  
🗑
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Patients experience   intense burning and chronic pain in the affected extremity that eventually spreads in a proximal direction  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis   Systemic autoimmune disorder of the connective tissue that is characterized by chronic inflammation within synovial membranes, tendon sheaths, and articular cartilage  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis Incidence is   three times greater in females than males and is diagnosed most frequently between 30-50 years of age  
🗑
Rheumatoid Arthritis Blood work assists   with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis through evaluation of the rheumatoid factor, white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values  
🗑
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus   Connective tissue disorder caused by an autoimmune reaction in the body  
🗑
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Females are   at greater risk than males with the most common age group ranging from 15-40 years of age  
🗑
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Clinical presentation includes   a red butterfly rash across the cheeks and nose, a red rash over light exposed areas, arthralgias, alopecia, pleurisy, kidney involvement, seizures, and depression  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)   This form of diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough or any insulin.  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Symptoms include   a rapid onset of symptoms, polyphagia, weight loss, polyuria, polydipsia, blurred vision, dehydration, and fatigue.  
🗑
Treatment Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) includes   exogenous insulin injections that are required to maintain proper glucose blood levels and avoid complications.  
🗑
Proper nutritional management is also required for blood glucose control.   Insulin pumps may be indicated for continuous administration of insulin.  
🗑
Since there is no cure for type 1 DM at this time the goal is to   control the regulation of blood glucose levels. This form of diabetes is normally diagnosed in childhood.  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes) Onset:   usually less than 25 years of age  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes)   Abrupt onset  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes)   5-10% of all cases  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes) Etiology:   destruction of islet of Langerhans cells secondary to possible autoimmune or viral causative factor  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes) Insulin production:   very little or none  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes)   Ketoacidosis can occur  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (insulin-dependent, juvenile diabetes) Treatment includes   insulin injection, exercise and diet  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) This form of diabetes occurs when   the body cannot properly respond to insulin. Obesity is found to contribute to this condition by increasing insulin resistance.  
🗑
Symptoms Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)are relatively the same as with type 1, however,   ketoacidosis does not occur since insulin is still produced. Treatment of type 2 diabetes includes blood glucose control through diet, exercise, oral medications or insulin injections when necessary  
🗑
. There has been an increase in children diagnosed with   type 2 diabetes secondary to a rise in childhood obesity.  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)Onset:   usually older than 40 years of age  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)   Gradual onset  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)90-95%   of all cases  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)Etiology:   resistance at insulin receptor sites usually secondary to obesity; ethnic prevalence  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)Insulin production:   variable  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM)   Ketoacidosis will rarely occur
