what Is a Angelman Syndrome

ANGELMAN SYNDROME

Definition:-
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes developmental disabilities and neurological problems, such as difficulty speaking, balancing and walking and, in some cases, seizures. Frequent smiles and outbursts of laughter are common for people with Angelman syndrome, and many have happy, excitable personalities.

Angelman syndrome usually isn't detected until parents begin to notice developmental delays when a baby is about 6 to 12 months old. Seizures often begin when a child is between 2 and 3 years old.

People with Angelman syndrome tend to live a normal life span, but they may become less excitable with age. Other signs and symptoms remain. Treatment for Angelman syndrome focuses on managing the child's medical and developmental problems. Consult to Breast Cancer Specialist in Central Delhi for best treatment .


Causes
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder. It's most often caused by problems with a gene located on chromosome 15 called the ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) gene.
Genes are segments of DNA that provide the blueprints for all of your characteristics. You receive your genes, which occur in pairs, from your parents. One copy comes from your mother (maternal copy), and the other copy comes from your father (paternal copy). Consult to Breast Cancer Specialist in East Delhi and Breast Cancer Specialist in North Delhi for best treatment.

A missing or defective gene: Both genes in a pair usually are active. This means that your cells use information from both the maternal copy and the paternal copy of each gene pair. But in a small number of genes, only one copy of a gene pair is active. The activity of each gene copy depends on whether it was passed from your mother or from your father. This parent-specific gene activity is called imprinting. In these genes, when the copy that's usually active is missing or defective, it causes problems in the functions and characteristics controlled by that gene. Consult to Breast Cancer Specialist in South Delhi and Breast Cancer Specialist in West Delhi for best treatment.

Normally, only the maternal copy of the UBE3A gene is active in the brain, caused by what's known as genomic imprinting. Most cases of Angelman syndrome occur when part of the maternal chromosome 15, which contains this gene, is missing or damaged. In a small number of cases, Angelman syndrome is caused when two paternal copies of the gene are inherited, instead of one paternal and one maternal copy (paternal uniparental disomy).

Risk factors
Angelman syndrome is rare. In most cases, researchers don't know what causes the genetic changes that result in Angelman syndrome. Most people with Angelman syndrome don't have a family history of the disease. In a small percentage of cases, however, Angelman syndrome may be inherited from a parent, so a family history of the disease may increase a baby's risk of developing Angelman syndrome.

Signs and symptoms

The following list features of Angelman syndrome and their relative frequency in affected individuals.
Consistent (100%)
  • Developmental delay, functionally severe
  • Speech impairment, no or minimal use of words; receptive and non-verbal communication skills higher than verbal ones
  • Movement or balance disorder, usually ataxia of gait and/or tremulous movement of limbs
  • Behavioral uniqueness: any combination of frequent laughter/smiling; apparent happy demeanor; easily excitable personality, often with hand flapping movements; hypermotoric behavior; short attention span
Frequent (more than 80%)
  • Delayed, disproportionate growth in head circumference, usually resulting in microcephaly (absolute or relative) by age 2
  • Seizures, onset usually < 3 years of age
  • Abnormal EEG, characteristic pattern with large amplitude slow-spike waves
Associated (20 - 80%)
  • Hypo pigmented skin and eyes
  • Tongue thrusting; suck/swallowing disorders
  • Hyperactive tendon reflexes
  • Feeding problems during infancy
  • Uplifted, flexed arms during walking
  • Prominent mandible
  • Increased sensitivity to heat
  • Wide mouth, wide-spaced teeth
  • Sleep disturbance
  • Frequent drooling, protruding tongue
  • Attraction to/fascination with water
  • Excessive chewing/mouthing behaviors
  • Flat back of head
  • Smooth palms

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of Angelman syndrome is based on:
  • A history of delayed motor milestones and then later a delay in general development, especially of speech
  • Unusual movements including fine tremors, jerky limb movements, hand flapping and a wide-based, stiff-legged gait.
  • Characteristic facial appearance (but not in all cases).
  • A history of epilepsy and an abnormal EEG tracing.
  • A happy disposition with frequent laughter
  • A deletion or inactivity on chromosome 15 by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or by BACs-on-Beads technology.
Diagnostic criteria for the disorder were initially established in 1995 in collaboration with the Angelman syndrome Foundation (USA); these criteria have undergone revision in 2005.

Tests:
A combination of genetic tests can reveal the chromosome defects related to Angelman syndrome. These tests may look at:

  • Chromosome size, shape and number: This test, known as chromosome analysis (karyotyping), examines chromosomes in a cell sample.
  • Missing chromosomes: Known as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), this test can show if portions of any chromosomes are missing.
  • Parental DNA pattern: This test, known as a DNA methylation test, reveals a gene's imprinting pattern. Normal results show both a paternal and maternal DNA pattern — meaning genes from both parents are active. In some areas of the brain, only the maternal gene is active. In most cases for people with Angelman syndrome, the maternal copy of the gene is lost, so there are no copies of the gene operating in the brain.
  • Gene mutation: Rarely, Angelman syndrome may occur when a person's maternal copy of the UBE3A gene is active, but mutated. If results from a DNA methylation test are normal, your child's doctor may order a UBE3A gene sequencing test to look for a maternal mutation.

Treatment

There is currently no cure available. The epilepsy can be controlled by the use of one or more types of anticonvulsant medications. However, there are difficulties in ascertaining the levels and types of anticonvulsant medications needed to establish control, because AS is usually associated with having multiple varieties of seizures, rather than just the one as in normal cases of epilepsy. Many families use melatonin to promote sleep in a condition which often affects sleep patterns. Many individuals with Angelman syndrome sleep for a maximum of 5 hours at any one time. Mild laxatives are also used frequently to encourage regular bowel movements and early intervention with physiotherapy is important to encourage joint mobility and prevent stiffening of the joints.
Those with the syndrome are generally happy and contented people who like human contact and play. People with AS exhibit a profound desire for personal interaction with others. Communication can be difficult at first, but as a child with AS develops, there is a definite character and ability to make themselves understood. People with AS tend to develop strong non-verbal skills to compensate for their limited use of speech. It is widely accepted that their understanding of communication directed to them is much larger than their ability to return conversation. Most afflicted people will not develop more than 5–10 words, if any at all
Seizures are a consequence, but so is excessive laughter, which is a major hindrance to early diagnosis.

Drugs:

Medications that are commonly prescribed include sodium valproate (Epilim), clonazepam (Rivotril), lamotrigine (Lamictal), carbamazepine (Tegretol). The new antiepileptic drug, levetiracetam (Keppra) may also be helpful, particularly in treating the myoclonic seizures. Another medication called piracetam (Nootropil) may also be effective in controlling the jerky movements.

Alternatives:

There are no alternatives recommended for angelman syndrome

Complications
Complications associated with Angelman syndrome include:
  • Feeding difficulties. Some infants with Angelman syndrome have problems feeding during the first few months of life because of an inability to coordinate sucking and swallowing. If your child has difficulty feeding, your pediatrician may recommend a high-calorie formula to help your baby gain weight.
  • Hyperactivity. Many young children with Angelman syndrome have increased motor activity. They may move quickly from one activity to another, often keeping their hands or a toy in their mouths. Their attention span may be very short. Hyperactivity often decreases with age in children with Angelman syndrome, and medication usually isn't necessary.
  • Sleep disorders. It's common for people with Angelman syndrome to have abnormal sleep-wake patterns and to need less sleep than normal. In some cases, sleep difficulties may improve with age. Medication and behavior therapy may help control sleep disorders.
  • Curving of the spine (scoliosis). Some people with Angelman syndrome develop this abnormal side-to-side spinal curvature over time.
  • Obesity. Older children with Angelman syndrome tend to have large appetites, which lead to obesity.
Prevention
In rare cases, Angelman syndrome may be passed from affected parent to child through defective genes. If you're concerned about a family history of Angelman syndrome, or if you already have a child with Angelman syndrome, you may wish to talk to your doctor or a genetic counselor for help planning future pregnancies.

what are symptoms of skin infection on foot

Athlete's foot: A skin infection caused by a fungus called Trichophyton that thrives within the upper layer of the skin when it is moist, warm, and irritated. The fungus can be found on floors and in socks and clothing, and it can be spread from person to person through contact with these objects. However, without proper growing conditions, athlete's foot fungus will not infect the skin. It can be treated with topical antifungal preparations. Also known as tinea pedis, athlete's foot is a form of ringworm.

Symptoms

Many individuals with athlete's foot have no symptoms at all and do not even know they have an infection. Many may think they simply have dry skin on the soles of their feet. Common symptoms of athlete's foot typically include various degrees of itching and burning. The skin may frequently peel, and in particularly severe cases, there may be some cracking, pain, and bleeding as well. Rarely, athlete's foot can blister.
 
Causes

There are many possible causes of foot rashes. Additional causes include irritant orcontact dermatitis, allergic rashes from shoes or other creams, dyshidrotic eczema (skinallergy rash), psoriasis, yeast infections, and bacterial infections. Consult to Cosmetologist in Delhi for best treatment.

Your physician can perform a simple test called a KOH, or potassium hydroxide for microscopic fungal examination, in the office or laboratory to confirm the presence of a fungal infection. This test is performed using small flakes of skin that are examined under the microscope. Many dermatologists perform this test in their office with results available within minutes. Rarely, a small piece of skin may be removed and sent forbiopsy to help confirm the diagnosis. Consult to Cosmetologist in Gurgaon and Cosmetologist in Faridabad for best treatment.
 
Risk factors

You are at higher risk of athlete's foot if you:

    Are a man

    Frequently wear damp socks or tight fitting shoes

    Share mats, rugs, bed linens, clothes or shoes with someone who has a fungal infection

    Walk barefoot in public areas where the infection can spread, such as locker rooms, saunas, swimming pools, communal baths and showers

    Have a weakened immune system

Complications


Athlete's foot can lead to complications, including:

    Secondary infections. Athlete's foot, a fungal infection, can create an environment that invites a secondary bacterial infection. By producing an antibiotic substance, the fungus can kill off vulnerable bacteria and favor the overgrowth of hardier, resistant bacteria. In turn, the bacteria release substances that can cause tissue breakdown — soggy skin and painful eroded areas between the toes.

    An allergic response. After an episode of athlete's foot, proteins might enter your bloodstream, leading to an allergic reaction that may cause an eruption of blisters on your fingers, toes or hands (dermatophytid or "id" reaction).

Diagnosis

Athlete's foot can usually be diagnosed by visual inspection of the skin, but where the diagnosis is in doubt direct microscopy of a potassium hydroxide preparation (known as a KOH test) may help rule out other possible causes, such as eczema or psoriasis. A KOH preparation is performed on skin scrapings from the affected area. The KOH preparation has an excellent positive predictive value, but occasionally false negative results may be obtained, especially if treatment with an antifungal medication has already begun. Consult to Cosmetologist in Noida and Cosmetologist in Ghaziabad for best treatment.

If the above diagnoses are inconclusive or if a treatment regimen has already been started, a biopsy of the affected skin (i.e. a sample of the living skin tissue) can be taken for histological examination.

A Wood's lamp, although useful in diagnosing fungal infections of the scalp (tinea capitis), is not usually helpful in diagnosing tinea pedis, since the common dermatophytes that cause this disease do not fluoresce under ultraviolet light. However, it can be useful for determining if the disease is due to a nonfungal afflict or.

Tests:-


Tests are needed, they may include:

    Skin culture

    Skin lesion biopsy

    Skin lesion KOH exam

 Treatment:-

The treatment of athlete's foot can be divided into two parts. The first, and most important part, is to make the infected area less suitable for the athlete's foot fungus to grow. This means keeping the area clean and dry.

Buy shoes that are leather or another breathable material. Occlusive shoe materials, such as vinyl, cause the feet to remain moist, providing an excellent area for the fungus to breed. Likewise, absorbent socks like cotton that wick water away from your feet may help.

Powders, especially medicated powders (such as with miconazole [Lotrimin] or tolnaftate [Tinactin]), can help keep your feet dry. Finally, your feet can be soaked in a drying solution of aluminum acetate (Burow's solution or Domeboro solution). A homemade remedy of dilute white vinegar soaks using one part vinegar and roughly four parts water, once or twice a day as 10-minute foot soaks may aid in treatment.

The second part of treatment is the use of antifungal creams and washes. Many medications are available, terbinafine (Lamisil) sprays and creams, and ketoconazoleshampoo and cream (Nizoral), etc. Ask your health-care professional or pharmacist for a recommendation. Treatment for athlete's foot should generally be continued for four weeks or at least one week after all of the skin symptoms have cleared.

More advanced or resistant cases of athlete's foot may require a two- to three-week course of an oral (pill) antifungal like terbinafine (Lamisil),itraconazole (Sporanox), or fluconazole (Diflucan). Laboratory blood tests to make sure there is no liver disease may be required before taking these pills.

    Terbinafine: 250 mg once a day for two weeks

    Itraconazole: 100 mg twice a day for two weeks

    Fluconazole: 100 mg once weekly for two to three weeks

Topical corticosteroid creams can act as a fertilizer for fungus and may actually worsen fungal skin infections. These topical steroid medications have no role in treating fungal foot infections.

If the fungal infection has spread to the toenails, the nails must also be treated to avoid reinfection of the feet. Often, the nails are initially ignored only to find the athlete's foot keeps recurring. It is important to treat all the visible fungus at the same time. Effective nail fungus treatment may be more intensive and require prolonged courses (three to four months) of oral antifungal medications.

Drugs:-

Drugs that may be prescribe by the specialist may include:

    Miconazole


    Tolnaftate

    Clotrimazole

    Terbinafine

    Ketoconazole

Alternative treatments


Tea tree oil may improve the symptoms but does not cure the underlying fungal infection. Ajoene, a compound found in garlic, is sometimes used to treat athlete's foot.
Prevention

The fungi that cause athlete's foot can live on shower floors, wet towels, and footwear,  and can spread from person to person from shared contact with showers, towels, etc. Hygiene, therefore, plays an important role in managing an athlete's foot infection. Since fungi thrive in moist environments, keeping feet and footwear as dry as possible, and avoiding sharing towels, etc., aids prevention of primary infection.

What is Amyloidosis?


Amyloidosis is a variety of conditions in which the body produces bad proteins called amyloids, gets deposit up in the organs and tissues and cause harm to the organs. The buildup may occur in a single organ or throughout the body.
Condition frequently affects liver, heart, spleen, the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system. Major symptoms include weakness, leg and ankle swelling, shortness of breath, tingling in hands or feet and easy bruising.
Consult to Endocrinologist in Delhi for best treatment.
It is a very rare disease and its exact origin is unknown. The treatment options available are used to manage the signs and symptoms and can stop the progression of the condition by reducing the production of amyloid protein
Symptoms:
Symptoms depend on the organ of the body affected. Common signs and symptoms may include:
  • Swelling of your ankles and legs
  • Weakness
  • Significant weight loss
  • Shortness of breath
  • Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Feeling full quickly
  • Severe fatigue
  • An enlarged tongue (macroglossia)
  • Skin changes, such as thickening or easy bruising
  • Purplish patches (purpura) around the eyes
  • An irregular heartbeat
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Protein in the urine (detected by urine tests)
Causes:
Amyloidosis is broadly classified into three categories. These are:
  • Primary amyloidosis: This is the most common form of amyloidosis, which can affect many areas, including heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nerves, intestines, skin, tongue and blood vessels. Primary amyloidosis isn't associated with other diseases, except for multiple myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer.
Though the exact cause of primary amyloidosis id not known yet, it is known that the disease begins in the bone marrow. One marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and antibodies, proteins that protect the body against infection and disease. The body recycles these antibodies Amyloidosis occurs when cells in the bone marrow produce antibodies that can't be broken down. These antibodies then build up in the bloodstream. Gradually, they leave the bloodstream and gets deposit in the tissues as amyloid, interfering with normal function.
  • Secondary amyloidosis: This occurs in association with chronic infectious or inflammatory diseases, such as tuberculosis, inflammatory arthritis or osteomyelitis, a bone infection. Though other organs may be involved, it primarily affects the kidneys, spleen, liver and lymph nodes. Progression of this form of amyloidosis may be stopped by treating the underlying disease.
  • Hereditary (familial) amyloidosis: As the name implies, this form of amyloidosis is inherited. This type often affects the liver, nerves, heart and kidneys.
  • Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA): This form of amyloidosis develops when proteins in blood are deposited in joints and tendons, causing pain, stiffness and fluid in the joints, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome. The condition is most likely to affect people on long-term hemodialysis.
Risk factors:
Anyone can get amyloidosis, but several factors may increase the risk of developing the condition. Risk factors may include: Consult to Endocrinologist in Gurgaon and Endocrinologist in Faridabad for best treatment.
  • The risk of amyloidosis increases as the age increase. The majority of people who develop the disease are older than 60 years of age.
  • Chronic infectious or inflammatory disease may put the person at a greater risk.
  • People who have multiple myeloma a form of bone marrow cancer are also at increased risk of amyloidosis.
  • Often cases of amyloidosis are inherited.
  • Kidney dialysis for kidney diseases increases the risk of dialysis associated amyloidosis because dialysis can't remove large proteins from the blood, so large, abnormal proteins may build up and deposit in surrounding tissues
Diagnosis:
The doctor may need to conduct various tests to rule out other condition. The diagnosis may begin by conducting a physical exam. He may evaluate the symptoms and the medical history of the patient. The doctor may also take a look of the family history of health conditions. Consult to Endocrinologist in Noida and Endocrinologist in Ghaziabad for best treatment.
Tests:
The doctor may order certain tests to confirm the diagnosis and rule out various health conditions. The tests may include:
  • Blood test
  • Urine test
If blood or urine tests detect an abnormal protein which could indicate amyloidosis, the doctor may order a tissue biopsy to make a definitive diagnosis.
  • Biopsy
In a tissue biopsy, the doctor uses a needle to remove a small sample of tissue and then examined under microscope in a laboratory to check for signs of amyloid.
If the doctor suspects that the patient may have systemic amyloidosis or it affects several parts of the body rather than one organ, the sample may be taken from the abdominal fat, bone marrow, gums, salivary glands, skin or rectum.
Occasionally, tissue samples may be taken from other parts of the body, such as heart, liver or kidney, to help diagnose the specific organ affected by amyloidosis. These procedures may require hospitalization.
Treatment:
There is no specific way to cure amyloidosis. The treatment focuses on minimizing the symptoms and reducing the production of amyloid proteins through dietary changes and medications.
Treatment involves decreasing the proteins that can make up amyloid. Chemotherapy is used for the treatment of primary amyloidosis.
Depending on the organs that are affected, the specialist may ask the patient to follow a special diet.
There is no cure for secondary amyloidosis, but medication can improve survival. The treatment involves curing the underlying condition. Stem cell transplants are also a treatment for secondary amyloidosis.
A liver transplant may be a necessity for hereditary amyloidosis.
Anti-inflammatory/immune suppressive therapy to reduce amyloid precursor load may be recommended for managing the symptoms.
Drugs:
Drugs which can be prescribed by the doctor may include:
For secondary amyloidosis a combination of prednisone (a corticosteroid) and melphalan (Alkeran, also used to treat some kinds of cancer) is used.
To provide relief from the symptoms the doctor may prescribe:
  • Diuretics to relieve swelling caused by fluid retention
  • Anti-arrhythmics to control heart rhythm
  • Metoclopramide to help empty food from the stomach
  • Antibiotics to control bacteria that may cause diarrhea or prevent the body from absorbing nutrients
Alternatives:
Dietary choices, supplements, and herbs that reduce inflammation may help prevent amyloidosis. Damage from oxidation may play a role in the development of amyloidosis so add antioxidants to the diet to help slow the disease.
Though herbal and natural treatment options are available, Amyloidosis should never be treated with complementary and alternative therapies alone. Consult the doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements before taking
Herbs which may be useful as a supportive therapy to standard medical care in treating amyloidosis:
  • Pycnogenol (Pinus pinaster)
  • Gingko (Gingko biloba)
Complication:
Complications depend on which organ the amyloid deposits disease affects. It can be life threatening.
  • Kidney damage
  • Heart damage
  • Nervous system damage
If amyloid deposits affect the nerves that control your bowel function, you may experience periods of alternating constipation and diarrhea. Sometimes the condition affects nerves that control blood pressure, and you may experience dizziness or near fainting when standing too quickly as a result of a drop in your blood pressure.
Prevention:
There is no specific way to prevent amyloidosis however measures can be taken to manage the signs and symptoms and provide relief.
  • The patient should have proper knowledge about the disease so that he knows his limitations and can pace his life according to that.
  • Follow a balanced diet to provide body with an adequate energy supply.
  • Avoid caffeine, refined sugars, dairy products and processed foods and should
  • Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and cold water fish.

Alcoholism Is a Threat to Life

For people drinking alcohol is nothing but just another way to enjoy or relax their body. Excessive drinking not only causes damage to oneself but also the people around them. Alcoholic is a person who is addicted to alcohol. Alcoholism ruins the social life of a person; it is rather threat to life. An alcoholic cannot control himself even if it is causing serious problems at home, work or to their health.

Consuming limited amount of alcohol, consuming alcohol occasionally does not harm the body but unfortunately, for many people occasional drinking leads to heavier drinking which causes devastating health issues. For adults, limited alcohol intake is relatively harmless. Alcoholism or alcohol addiction does not only harm the physical wellbeing but also affects the person’s mental health. Several therapies are in hand these days to overcome the alcoholism. Consult to Endocrinologist in Delhi for best treatment.

So far alcohol is the most widespread drug used in most of the country. Although, alcohol consumption is socially accepted but it does not provide any benefits, all that alcohol rewards is ‘Death’. Alcohol abusers constantly drink in excess to such an extent that it damages their immune system. Alcohol abusers fail to meet up their work requirements, education and fulfill their day to day needs. Drinking brings nothing good except the problems at both personal and professional level.

Drinking is never a solution of any problem. A person who is addicted to alcohol may find several reasons and occasions to drink, but there are several other significant factors that force a non-addicted to consume alcohol like depression, low self-esteem. Alcohol has become a way to cope up with emotional pains and medicate other mental resources. Children of alcoholics are more likely to become alcoholic as compare to others. However, it is not mandatory that a child of alcoholic will definitely become an alcoholic; it is rather more dependent on the child’s availability to alcohol, social pressure, home environment and experience of physical and sexual abuse also increases the risk. Exposure to drink is directly proportional to risk factor; the younger the person starts drinking the greater the chance of developing disorder. Consult to Endocrinologist in Gurgaon and Endocrinologist in Faridabad for best treatment.

Alcohol has a worse effect on the liver of an individual. Alcohol has an adverse effect on human body like inhibited speech center in the brain causes slurred speech, affected vision centers produces distorted vision, depressed co-ordination centers results in loss of balance and limb control. Alcohol invokes irritation and agitation of nervous system and this lasts for long. Hangovers, shakiness and blackouts are some of the short term problems after the consumption of alcohol. Drugs for certain disease like diabetes, heart disease can be dangerous if taken along with alcohol. Moderate drinking can be good for heart as it improves the blood circulation. Consult to Endocrinologist in Noida and Endocrinologist in Ghaziabad for best treatment.
