Anemia is a global health problem that need medical attention. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA), in particular is the most common nutritional deficiency anemia prevalent in India. Iron essential for effective myelination of peripheral nervous system.1 Nerve conduction studies are one of the neurophysiological investigations that can quantitatively detect peripheral nerve dysfunction.2 In this case report, we present findings of nerve conduction studies performed on a case of severe iron deficiency anemia and the associated peripheral neurodeficit observed in the case study. Nerve conduction study (NCS) was performed in bilateral median and ulnar motor and sensory nerves. CMAP (compound muscle action potential) and SNAP(sensory nerve action potential) and motor and sensory NCV (nerve conduction velocity) was decreased and the distal latency was prolonged in both ulnar and median nerves. These observations indicate a sensorimotor demyelinating and axonal peripheral neuropathy in the patient due to iron deficiency.
The past year has seen unprecedented happenings, bringing life to a halt. The unable things happened. The humans were stopped right in their tracks, and everyone felt powerless. The COVID 19 pandemic not only has resulted in financial losses worldwide, but it had also led to the death of about 51 lakh people worlds Though it had happened in the past when viral infections caused widespread death, in the modern era, no one even imagined that a virus could bring humanity to a halt. Viruses cause many diseases, some of which can cause death, while others can cause severe debility. The majority of diseases caused by viruses attack infants and young children, but it affects people of all ages. One of the most effective methods for preventing death and disability from several viral illnesses is vaccination. Conclusion: There are a variety of vaccines that are both effective and safe, which help prevent diseases caused by viruses that can cause deaths, hospital admissions, and further consequences. Edward Jenner was the first person in modern-day history to have used cowpox material to induce immunity to smallpox way back in 1796. However, some evidence does exist that the Chinese employed smallpox vaccination as early as 1000 CE. It was also practiced later in Turkey and Africa.
Background: To determine the impact of treating clinical hypothyroidism during gestation on maternal depressive symptoms. Methods: Females with singleton pregnancies identified clinical hypothyroidism were randomised to prenatal thyroxine medication or sample in an auxiliary study to a multicenter trial. At the end of the pregnancy, the treatment was stopped. Females with overt thyroid disorder, diabetes, autoimmune disorder, or depression were excluded from the study. Before taking the survey medicine (between 3-4 months of pregnancy), between 32 and 38 weeks of pregnancy, and at one year post-delivery, contestants were examined for forbidding symptoms with the help of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Anxiety zone(CES-D). The primary result was a score on the CES-D for mother depressive symptoms. Results: In individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, imbalanced thyroid hormonal state in general, as well as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, were found in 29.3, 25.17, and 4.08 percent, respectively. These figures were similar to those seen in patients with mental abnormalities (23.24, 21.62 and 1.62 percent, respectively). Anti TPO positivity was found in 11 of the 18 patients with schizophrenia scale illness. There were no distinctions based on gender. Conclusions: Patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disease and mood swings both had thyroid abnormalities. Patients with schizophrenia-spectrum abnormalities were more probably to have autoimmune thyroid disease than those with mood swings. The results highlight the importance of evaluating individuals with schizophrenia-scale abnormalities for thyroid hormone abnormalities and how it affects hypothyroidism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
