Hypermobility spectrum disorder does not include people with asymptomatic hypermobility or people with double-jointedness but no other symptoms. Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders may be equally severe. [5] [6] HSD is further classified into different subtypes, which include: [6]
Hypermobility has been associated with myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) and fibromyalgia. Hypermobility causes physical trauma (in the form of joint dislocations, joint subluxations, joint instability, sprains, etc.). These conditions often, in turn, cause physical and/or emotional trauma and are possible triggers for ...
Because many symptoms of cancer are gradual in onset and general in nature, cancer screening (also called cancer surveillance) is a key public health priority. This may include laboratory work, physical examinations, tissue samples, or diagnostic imaging tests that a community of experts recommends be conducted at set intervals for particular ...
Long-term systemic Immunosuppressive therapy is the main treatment of cancer-associated retinopathy. [5] It can be treated with a combination of chemotherapy and immunosuppression. [2] Although tumor removal and cancer regression may result in a decrease in circulating autoantibodies, this does not influence CAR progression. [8]
A major risk factor for AIR is a history of cancer, especially in paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy, where the autoimmune response is triggered by cancerous cells and cancer treatments. Cancer-associated retinopathy is commonly linked with cancers such as lung cancer and breast cancer, which trigger an autoimmune response due to malignant ...
Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant genetic connective tissue disorder. It has features similar to Marfan syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. [3] [4] [5] The disorder is marked by aneurysms in the aorta, often in children, and the aorta may also undergo sudden dissection in the weakened layers of the wall of the aorta.
All patients develop brain and eye disease, leading to disability, vision loss, and premature death. All patients with RVCL develop kidney and liver disease, with elevated alkaline phosphatase. [6] Some patients develop bone lesions (osteonecrosis) as well as hypothyroidism. [6] Sometimes patients also develop gastrointestinal symptoms or ...
Uveal melanoma is a type of eye cancer in the uvea of the eye. [4] It is traditionally classed as originating in the iris, choroid, and ciliary body, but can also be divided into class I (low metastatic risk) and class II (high metastatic risk). [4] Symptoms include blurred vision, loss of vision, and photopsia, but there may be no symptoms. [5]
