Presentation
We report two patients who presented with this circadian rhythm disorder, and were then diagnosed with a Parkinsonian syndrome. The cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Heat Intolerance
She referred episodes of heat intolerance when ambient temperature was around 35 degrees C. Skin biopsies of both forearms and left axilla revealed atrophy and morphologic changes of eccrine glands. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
- Anhidrosis
We evaluated the CRT in a 45-year-old female with a lack of sweating since birth because of congenital generalized anhidrosis. She referred episodes of heat intolerance when ambient temperature was around 35 degrees C. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
- Compulsive Disorder
The main augmentation strategy in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the addition of low-dose dopamine antagonists, such as risperidone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Psychiatric Symptoms
This review summarizes the current literature regarding the association between circadian rhythm and mood regulation from a chronobiological perspective, and may provide insight into therapeutic approaches to target psychiatric symptoms in neurodegenerative [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
- Hot Flushes
Circadian rhythm was detected in the daily pattern of hot flushes, with a peak in the afternoons. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Nocturia
In this article, we describe how age-related changes in sleep depth and continuity and age-related changes in circadian rhythm amplitude may contribute to nocturia, and how nocturia in turn leads to sleep disruption. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Somnolence
EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SOMNOLENCE Excessive daytime somnolence (EDS) is defined as the inability to stay awake or alert throughout the course of the day, resulting in sleepiness or inadvertent dozing during passive (reading, watching television) or active [doi.org]
- Involuntary Movements
One explanation for this is the occurrence of 'break through' involuntary movements during sleep in the HD patients, which are incorrectly assessed as wakeful periods by the activity monitor algorithms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Dysarthria
A 47-year-old man, who was being evaluated for presurgical investigation for refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, presented with complaints suggestive of dysarthria, bradykinesia of limbs and frequent falls for 5 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Motor Symptoms
In Parkinson's disease (PD), DAergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta progressively degenerate leading to motor dysfunction. Patients with PD also exhibit non-motor symptoms, including sleep disorder and neuropsychiatric disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Placement of a urinary catheter early in the workup of a patient with ARF not only allows diagnosis and treatment of urethral and bladder outlet urinary obstruction but also allows for accurate measurement of urine output. [emedicine.com]
Other Pathologies
- Gliosis
Although, the number of AVP-positive neurons was decreased in neither the supraoptic nucleus nor the paraventricular nucleus, the number of AVP-positive neurons in the SCN was decreased and gliosis was present in the SCN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
CONCLUSIONS: The main problem in the treatment of CRSWD is an invalid diagnosis. Hypnotics and/or psychostimulants are often used instead of chronotherapeutic interventions, what can alleviate symptoms but is not an effective treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Circadian rhythm disruption by shift work is associated with greater risk for cancer development and poor prognosis, suggesting a putative tumor-suppressive role for circadian rhythm homeostasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The following provide an outlook into some sleep disorders: Jet lag: This is a transient condition that has a good prognosis. [emedicinehealth.com]
Prognosis Because most cases of community-acquired acute renal failure (ARF) are secondary to volume depletion, as many as 90% of cases are estimated to have a potentially reversible cause. [emedicine.com]
Etiology
Pruritus and scratching could lead to sleep disruption but is unlikely the sole etiology. The circadian rhythm of cytokines, the immune system, and skin physiology such as transcutaneous water loss and skin blood flow might also play a role. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This information can be used clinically to help differentiate prerenal failure from other etiologies of ARF. [emedicine.com]

Pathophysiology
However, the pathophysiology of sleep disturbance in children with AD is poorly understood, and there is no consensus on how to manage sleep problems in these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
The ability to identify agents that can disrupt central and/or peripheral biological clocks, and agents that can prevent or mitigate the effects of circadian disruption, has significant implications for prevention of chronic diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
