What are the symtoms of Werner's Syndrome?
373668
It is basically Progeria in adults. Werner syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder of chromosome 8, meaning that a defective gene is inherited from each parent. Werner syndrome may begin in adolescence, but most often it begins in the mid-30s. \n\nUp until symptoms begin, the individual has healthy normal development. Once the disease process begins, the individual's body begins to age faster than normal. This produces symptoms such as: \n\nWrinkling and sagging of the face \nDecreasing muscle mass \nThin skin and loss of fat under the skin \nGraying hair and hair loss \nA high-pitched voice \nCataracts (cloudy spots on the lens of the eye) \nOsteoporosis (weakened bones) \nDiabetes (type 2) \nRare cancers such as thyroid cancer, lymphoma, and sarcoma \nHeart and artery disease \nPremature menopause in females.

Gall Bladder Symptom List\nThe following is a basic list of gall bladder disease symptoms: \n\nGall Bladder Symptom 1 - Jaundice\nAs you may already know, the gall bladder is a holding vessel for bile flowing from the liver to the intestines. The symptoms of disease may vary, but the first and most obvious symptom is jaundice. If the skin becomes jaundiced, then we know that there is most likely an issue with the Gall Bladder or liver. Jaundice can either turn the skin yellow or orange depending on the type. With this, the whites of the eyes often take on a yellow color as well. Jaundice is the result of the liver not properly breaking down old blood and transforming it into bile. This can be the result of either the liver not functioning properly, or jaundice can indicate a blockage of the gall bladder.\n\nGall Bladder Symptom 2 - Gall Bladder Pain Symptoms\nGall Bladder Pain Symptom List - Types of Pain\nSporadic pains in the middle of the upper abdomen, or just below the ribs on the right side. \nThe pain may spread to the right shoulder or between the shoulder blades.\n\nThe pain can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting and sometimes excessive wind. \nThe attack can last from a few minutes to two to three hours before getting better. \nThe frequency and severity of attacks is very variable. \nAttacks can be triggered by eating fatty foods such as chocolate, cheese or pastry. \nIt can be difficult to distinguish the pain from other diseases, such as: gastric ulcer, back problems, heart pains, pneumonia and kidney stones. \nGall Bladder Symptom 3 - Gall Stones\nSymptoms of Gall Stones may include:\n\nNo Symptoms... Many people don't know they have gallstones. These "silent stones" are often found by accident from x-rays for other medical reasons. These stones may or may not require treatment. \nAbdominal pain \nNausea \nVomiting \nIndigestion \nAbdominal bloating \nFatty food intolerance \nBiliary Colic \nBelching \nGas \nIndigestion \nCertain symptoms indicate that there is a higher risk of danger and require immediate medical attention. These include:\n\nFever \nSweating \nChills \nJaundice \nYellow eyes \nYellow skin \nPersistent pain \nClay-colored stools ("Light Colored Stools" or "Pale Stools") \nGall Bladder Symptom 4 - Gall Bladder Atack Symptoms\nAn acute gall bladder attack symptom can occur at any time, such as the night or after a fatty meal. A gallstone attack indicates that medical attention is required. A gallstone attack usually is marked by a steady, severe pain in the upper abdomen. Attacks may last only 20 or 30 minutes but more often they last for one to several hours. A gallstone attack may also cause pain in the back between the shoulder blades or in the right shoulder and may cause nausea or vomiting. Attacks may be separated by weeks, months, or even years. Once a true attack occurs, subsequent attacks are much more likely.\n\nGall Bladder Attack Symptom List in Summary:\n\nUpper abdominal pain \nBack pain - between the shoulder blades \nPain under the right shoulder \nNausea \nVomiting \nSteady, severe pain in the upper abdomen that increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours. \nPain in the back between the shoulder blades. \nPain under the right shoulder. \nNausea or vomiting. \nGall bladder attack symptoms often follow fatty meals, and they may occur during the night. Other gallstone symptoms include\n\nAbdominal bloating \nRecurring intolerance of fatty foods \nColic \nBelching. \nGas \nIndigestion. \n\n\nDISCLAIMER:\nThis information has not been reviewed by the FDA, and as such should not be taken as medical advice or medical fact.

Jackson-Weiss syndrome\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nJackson-Weiss syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by foot abnormalities and the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis), which prevents further growth of the skull and affects the shape of the head and face.\n\nMany of the characteristic facial features of Jackson-Weiss syndrome result from the premature fusion of the skull bones. The head is unable to grow normally, which can lead to a misshapen skull, widely spaced eyes, and a bulging forehead. Foot abnormalities are the most consistent characteristic, as not all individuals with Jackson-Weiss syndrome have abnormal skull or facial features. The big toes are enlarged and bend away from the other toes. Hand anomalies are rare. People with Jackson-Weiss syndrome usually have normal intelligence and a normal life span.\n\nJackson-Weiss syndrome is a rare genetic disorder; its incidence is unknown.

Symptoms \n\nIndividuals with Down Syndrom may not experience all of the symtoms. Some of the common symptoms are: decreased muscle tone at birth, asymmetrical or odd-shaped skull, round head with flat area at the back of the head, small skull, slanting eyes, small mouth with protruding tongue (see tongue problems), broad short hands, single crease on the palm, retarded growth and development, delayed mental and social skills (mental retardation)\n\nWhat are the physical Characteristics?\n\nChildren with Down Syndrome have a widely recognized characteristic appearance. Their head may be smaller than normal (microcephaly) and abnormally shaped. Other prominent characteristics are: a flattened nose, protruding tongue, upward slanting eyes, short hands and fingers, and a single crease in the palm.

Isoniazid is a type of antibiotics used to combat TB and in some cases HIV. Typically, it's not wise to mix alcohol use with any type of antibiotics, but with Isoniazid, the side effects could outweigh the need or desire to drink. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common side effect. Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are numbness, tingling, or an unusual sensation such as burning or prickling on the skin. Hepatitis is the most dangerous. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Signs and symptoms of hepatitis are yellow eyes and skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dark urine, unusual tiredness, or weakness. Severe reactions may occur if you eat foods containing high concentrations of tyramine such as aged cheeses, avocados, bananas, beer, caffeinated beverages, chocolate, sausages, liver, overripe fruit, red wine, smoked or pickled fish, yeasts, and yogurt.

Progeria is an extremely rare genetic condition which causes physical changes that resemble greatly accelerated aging in sufferers. The disease affects between 1 in 4 million (estimated actual) and 1 in 8 million (reported) newborns. Currently, there are approximately 40-45 known cases in the world. There is no known cure. Most people with progeria die around 13 years of age. Progeria is of interest to scientists because the disease may reveal clues about factors involved in the process of aging, because it is an "accelerated aging" disease. But unlike most other "accelerated aging diseases" (like Werner's syndrome), progeria is not caused by defective DNA repair.\n\nThe condition was first identified in 1886 by Jonathan Hutchinson and Hastings Gilford. The condition was later named Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome; the name was derived from the Greek for "prematurely old". Around 100 cases have been definitely identified since then.\n\nCause\nAccording to recent evidence, Progeria may be a de novo dominant trait. It develops during cell division in a newly conceived child or in the gametes of one of the parents. It is caused by mutations in a LMNA (Lamin A protein) gene on chromosome 1. New evidence suggests that as in other aging syndromes, the cause of HGPS is due to a defect in the DNA repair via the homologous recombination pathway. In fact there is an increase of Double strand breaks (DSBs) after gamma irradiation of fibroblasts.\n\nSymptoms\nSymptoms generally begin appearing around 18-24 months of age. The condition is distinguished by limited growth, alopecia and a characteristic appearance with small face and jaw and pinched nose. Later the condition causes wrinkled skin, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular problems. Mental development is not affected. Individuals with the condition rarely live more than 16 years; the longest recorded life-span was 26 years. The development of symptoms is comparable to aging at a rate six to eight times faster than normal, although certain age-related conditions do not occur.\n\nA cure for progeria has not yet been found.

Yes, I worked with someone who had it. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissues of the body. For some reason it has a predilection to affect the eyes, the joints, and particularly the middle and inner layers of your major arteries, especially the aorta. People with Marfan tend to have a particular "look" about them because of their connective tissue problems, such as long, hyperextensible fingers, long limbs, and a prominent forehead.\n\nIt is not necessarily life-threatening, but people with Marfan must be watched closely because there is a tendency for them to develop aortic dissection, which can be fatal if not caught quickly.

(m)\n\nSymptoms During Supraventricular Tachycardia\n\n\nPalpitations \n\nLightheadedness \n\nDizziness \n\nLoss of consciousness \n\nChest pain \n\nShortness of breath \n\nTypically, patients have symptoms from SVT, but occasionally they may have no symptoms. A common symptom during SVT is palpitations or a sensation that the heart is beating rapidly, fluttering, or racing. This may last for a few seconds or several hours. Occasionally, patients may have a sensation of shortness of breath or "air-hunger," or chest pressure or pain. Sometimes patients will feel lightheaded or dizzy, and rarely patients will feel like they are about to pass out. Loss of consciousness (also known as syncope) during SVT is a rare occurrence. Although such symptoms may raise concern, in general, SVT is not a serious or life-threatening condition. Nonetheless, if any of these symptoms develops, immediate medical attention should be sought. \n\ngothrouh the following website for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia

Probably the first thing will be tooth erosion, decay or loss.  It can also cause microtears in the esophagus and distention of the esophagus....consequences you cannot see until you develop ulcers or bleed into your stomach.  Additionally, scarring on the back of the hand, sinus problems, electrolyte imbalance and emotional distress.

Signs and symptoms\nHypovolaemic shock \nAnxiety, restlessness, altered mental state due to decreased cerebral perfusion and and subsequent hypoxia. \nHypotension due to decrease in circulatory volume. \nA rapid, weak, thready pulse due to decreased blood flow combined with tachycardia. \nCool, clammy skin due to vasoconstriction and stimulation of sweat glands. \nOliguria (low urine output) due to renal artery vasonconstriction. \nRapid and deep respirations due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation and acidosis. \nHypothermia due to decreased perfusion and evaporation of sweat. \nThirst and dry mouth, due to fluid depeletion. \nFatigue due to inadequate oxygenation. \nCold and mottled skin (cutis marmorata), especially exteremities, due to insufficient perfusion of the skin. \nCardiogenic shock, similar to hypovolaemic shock but in addition: \nDistended jugular veins due to increased jugular venous pressure. \nAbsent pulse due to tachyarrhythmia. \nObstructive shock, similar to hypovolaemic shock but in addition: \nDistended jugular veins due to increased jugular venous pressure. \nPulsus paradoxus in case of tamponade \nSeptic shock, similar to hypovolaemic shock except in the first stages: \nPyrexia and fever, or hypothermia, due to overwhelming bacterial infection. \nVasodilation and increased cardiac output due to sepsis. \nNeurogenic shock, similar to hypovolaemic shock in its presentation. \nAnaphylactic shock \nSkin eruptions and large weals. \nLocalised edema, especially around the face. \nWeak and rapid pulse. \nBreathlessness and cough due to occlusion of airways and swelling of the throat. \n[edit]\nTreatment\nIn the early stages, shock requires immediate intervention to preserve life. Therefore, the early recognition and treatment depends on the transfer to a hospital.\n\n[edit]\nFirst aid\nFirst aid treatment of shock includes:\n\nImmediate reassurance and comforting the casualty if conscious. \nIf alone, go for help. If not, send someone to go for help and someone stay with the casualty. \nEnsure the patency of the airway and assess breathing. Position in the recovery position if able. \nAttempt to stem any obvious haemorrhaging. \nCover the patient with a blanket or jacket, but not too thick to cause vasodilation. \nDo not give a drink, moisten lips if requested. \nPrepare for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. \nGive as much information when the ambulance arrives. \nThe management of shock requires immediate intervention, even before a diagnosis is made. Re-establishing perfusion to the organs is the primary goal through restoring and maintaining the blood circulating volume ensuring oxygenation and blood pressure are adequate; achieving and maintaining effective cardiac function and preventing complications. Patients attending with the symptoms of shock will have, regardless of the type of shock, their airway managed and oxygen therapy initiated. In case of respiratory insufficiency (i.e. diminished levels of consciousness, hyperventilation due to acid-base disturbances or pneumonia) intubation and mechanical ventilation may be necessary. A paramedic may intubate in emergencies outside the hospital, whereas a patient with respiratory insufficiency in-hospital will be intubated usually by a physician.

Early symptoms of hepatitis are easily confused with those of other illnesses. They include such common complaints as the following: \n•Fatigue \n•Mild tenderness or discomfort on the right side of the abdomen \n•Nausea \n•Poor appetite \n•Muscle and joint pains \n•Weight loss, typically around five to 10 pounds  \n•Itching of the skin \n\nDuring a physical examination, doctors may notice mild enlargement of the liver. Some patients also develop unusual reddening of the palms of the hands, called palmar erythema. \n\nLater symptoms\n\nIf the virus begins to cause damage to liver cells, more severe symptoms may appear. These include: \n•Dark urine \n•Fluid retention \n•Muscle weakness and wasting \n•Light-colored stools \n•Enlarged liver and/or spleen \n•Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes) \n•Skin abrasions \n•Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, a condition called ascites \n\nSometimes the effects of HCV extend beyond the liver. These conditions are called extrahepatic, or "outside the liver." Many are caused by the immune system's response to the virus. These conditions include: \n•Inflammation of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis) \n•A rare condition marked by abnormal immune reactions that can affect skin, blood, or the kidneys (essential mixed cryoglobulinemia) \n•A condition in which the skin becomes highly sensitive to light, resulting in sores and blisters (porphyria cutanea tarda)
