The prevalence of fibromyalgia in gastrointestinal disease has been described mostly for celiac disease [41] and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [ 41 ] [ 39 ] IBS and fibromyalgia share similar pathogenic mechanisms, involving immune system mast cells , inflammatory biomarkers, hormones , and neurotransmitters such as serotonin .
Signs and symptoms of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency that may begin after infancy include hypotonia, muscle pain, a breakdown of muscle tissue, and a loss of sensation in the extremities called peripheral neuropathy. Some who have MTP deficiency show a progressive course associated with myopathy, and recurrent rhabdomyolysis. [2 ...
Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) is a medical theory that proposes that a deficiency of endocannabinoids is the underlying pathophysiology of migraines, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome. [1] [2] The deficiency may sometimes start in the womb as a result of maternal obesity. [3]
The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD). In virtually all cases, the deficiency has been caused by an SNP mutation, known as rs17602729 or C34T . While it was initially regarded as a recessive (or purely homozygous ) disorder, some researchers have reported the existence of similarly deleterious effects from ...
Even diets of mild protein undernutrition (7.2%) have been shown to have lasting and significant effects in rats. The following are some studies in which prenatal protein deficiency has been shown to have unfavorable consequences. Decreased brain size: Protein deficiency has been shown to affect the size and composition of brains in rhesus monkeys.
There have also been cases in patients with other deficiency, including protein S deficiency, [6] [7] activated protein C resistance (Factor V Leiden) [8] and antithrombin III deficiency. [ 9 ] Although the above hypothesis is the most commonly accepted, others believe that it is a hypersensitivity reaction or a direct toxic effect.
Diseases involving ion pumps can produce symptoms similar to channelopathies, as they both involve the movement of ions across membranes. Brody disease (also known as Brody myopathy) includes symptoms similar to myotonia congenita , including muscle stiffness and cramping after initiating exercise (delayed muscle relaxation).
This condition is known as refractory coeliac disease (RCD), defined as malabsorption due to gluten-related enteropathy (villous atrophy or elevated intraepitheal lymphocytes) after initial or subsequent failure of a strict gluten-free diet (usually 1 year) and after exclusion of any disorder mimicking coeliac disease.
