Glomerular Diseases Topics [General] Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome Nephritic Syndrome The classic nephritic syndrome includes hematuria, hypertension, renal insufficiency, and edema. Frequently, individual components of the syndrome are absent. Nephritic syndrome may be acute and transient (eg, postinfectious GN), fulminant with rapid renal failure (eg, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis [RPGN]), or indolent (eg, IgA nephropathy). Pathologic changes, and therefore clinical manifestations, often vary over time. ACUTE NEPHRITIC SYNDROME (Acute Glomerulonephritis; Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis) A syndrome characterized pathologically by diffuse inflammatory changes in the glomeruli and clinically by abrupt-onset hematuria with RBC casts, mild proteinuria, and, often, hypertension, edema, and azotemia. Etiology The prototype of an acute nephritic syndrome is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) due to infection with certain nephritogenic strains of group A Pathology and Pathogenesis Lesions are confined mainly to the glomeruli, which become enlarged and hypercellular, initially with neutrophils or eosinophils and later with mononuclear cells. Epithelial cell hyperplasia is a common early, transient feature. Microthrombosis may occur; if damage is severe, hemodynamic changes produce oliguria, frequently accompanied by epithelial crescents (formed within Bowman's space from epithelial cell hyperplasia, probably mediated by growth factors from stimulated macrophages). Endothelial and mesangial cells increase in number, and the mesangial regions often are greatly expanded by edema and contain neutrophils, dead cells, cellular debris, and subepithelial deposits of electron-dense material.

Neurologists around the world usually mean the same thing in these titles: MGUS-associated neuropathy/ polyneuropathy. ; Paraprotein-associated demyelinating neuropathy. ; Paraprotein associated neuropathy/polyneuropathy. ; CIDP associated with a paraprotein. ; CIDP associated with MGUS. ; Paraprotein-related or associated demyelinating neuropathy. ; Demyelinating paraproteinaemic neuropathy ; MGUS polyneuropathy. ; Peripheral Neuropathy associated with benign monoclonal gammopathy. Please note. These pages are based solely on my own experience and my layman's reading of medical text books and articles from professional journals, in addition to other professional summaries online, and not from any personal medical expertise. From this reading I have attempted to provide a layperson's account, because the only information about "my" neuropathy on the WWW has been very academic, professional neurological material. So I hope that my work helps others, as various messages have already confirmed. Some professional neurological language cannot be avoided!

This condition causes the head to form a cloverleaf shape. The head may be larger than normal due to accumulation of fluid (hydrocephalic) in the skull. The anomaly has been reported to carry dismal prognosis both in terms of neurological outcome as well as cosmetic appearance if treatment is delayed. Facial malformations include high forehead, severe proptosis, or exophthalmoses, beaked nose, and downward displacement of ears. Multiple breathing and feeding issues may occur.

153. Potter's Syndrome Gateway Links to other web sites and information on this syndrome. http://www.geocities.com/potters_syndrome

Potter's Syndrome is one of several serious or fatal kidney abnormalities.  In Potter's (or Potter) syndrome the baby's kidneys do not develop in the first few weeks of life in the womb.  The baby's kidneys are essential for the production of amniotic fluid in the womb.  If there are no kidneys, there is little or no amniotic fluid (this is known as oligohydramnios) to expand the womb around the baby and to allow the baby to grow and move.  The womb remains small and in its confined space the baby's lungs cannot develop properly.  Many babies with Potter's syndrome are stillborn.  In those who are born alive, the immediate cause of death is failure to breathe (respiratory failure) due to underdeveloped (hypoplastic) lungs, usually one or two days after delivery.  Even if this problem is treated the baby cannot survive without kidneys.  (Potter's syndrome is also known as Renal Agenesis, which simply means that the kidneys did not develop).     Potter's sequence is the name given to a condition which resembles Potter's syndrome in that although the baby has kidneys, there is little or no amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios).  This may sometimes be because the mothers waters have broken in mid-pregnancy, or due to developmental problems in the baby's kidneys or urinary system.  In Potter's sequence, as in Potter's syndrome, the baby's lungs are compressed and cannot develop properly.  The baby dies of respiratory failure within one or two days of delivery (subnote: although shorter and longer lifespans do exist).

Z Asperger syndrome Contents of this page: Alternative names Definition Causes, incidence, and risk factors Symptoms ... Calling your health care provider Alternative names Pervasive developmental disorder - Asperger syndrome Definition Return to top In Asperger syndrome, a young child experiences impaired social interactions and develops limited repetitive patterns of behavior. Motor milestones may be delayed and clumsiness is often observed. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Hans Asperger labeled this disorder "Autistic Psychopathy" in 1944, and the cause is still unknown. There is a possible relation to autistic disorder ( autism ). Some researchers believe that Asperger sydrome is simply a mild form of autism. The child with Asperger shows below-average nonverbal communication gestures, fails to develop peer relationships, has an inability to express pleasure in other people's happiness, and lacks the ability to reciprocate emotionally in normal social interactions. The condition appears to be more common in boys than in girls. There are likely genetic factors, but some theories suggest a prenatal infection may be to blame. While people with Asperger syndrome are frequently socially inept, many have above-average intelligence, and they may excel in fields like computer programming and science. There is no delay in cognitive development, in the development of age-appropriate self-help skills, or in curiosity about the environment. Generally, there is no language development delay.

University Students With Autism And Asperger's Syndrome What's New? Prospects Transitions Project Prospects, The National Autistic Society's employment consultancy, is launching a new, two-and-a-half year project, which will help final year university students with Asperger syndrome into work. The project is joint funded through the London Development Agency and the European Social Fund and is aimed at students who live and wish to work in the London area. The aim of the project is to work with students who have either just finished their studies or are about to enter their final year at university. The aim of the project is to help them develop the skills which they will need to find employment. This will be achieved through a mixture of workshops and one-to-one sessions, focusing on areas such as career choice, communication and interview skills as well as effective job searching. The project will run until 2007. Prospects is currently looking for people, who meet the criteria to join the project. For more information about the Transitions project or to see if you would qualify to access it, please contact Judith Kerem on 020 7704 7450. Alternatively, we can be contacted via email.
