Abstract We present a 9-month-old exclusively breast-fed baby of a strict vegetarian mother who had excluded all animal proteins from her diet. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Joint Stiffness

  The results revealed significant improvements in Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) (p 0.005), joint stiffness (p 0.001), quality of sleep (p 0.0001), Health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) (p 0.031), General health questionnaire (GHQ) (p 0.021), and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Morning Stiffness

  All measures of RA symptomatology decreased significantly (p 0.05), except for duration of morning stiffness (p 0.05). Weight also decreased significantly (p 0.001). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Withdrawn

  This was subsequently withdrawn at the age of 2 weeks, following a normal plasma TSH. Thyroid function tests remained normal and the goitre disappeared by the age of 2 months. Iodine deficiency is uncommon in the Western World. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Psychomotor Regression

  The patient's symptoms included dystrophy, weakness, muscular atrophy, loss of tendon reflexes, psychomotor regression and haematological abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The workup for patients with vaginitis depends on the risk factors for infection and the age of the patient. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Abnormal Thyroid Function Test

  Both mother and infant had abnormal thyroid function tests. Mother was given Lugol's iodine and her thyroid function tests normalised. Her baby was initially prescribed thyroxine on the basis of the raised screening TSH. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Regular monitoring of vitamin B-12 status is thus potentially beneficial for early detection and treatment of metabolic vitamin B-12 deficiency in vegans, and possibly for prevention of atherosclerosis-related diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The incidence is 9% in whites and 16% in Hispanics. [4] Prognosis Overall, the prognosis is very good: most of those infected are cured. However, recurrent vaginal infections can lead to chronic irritation, excoriation, and scarring. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Although the prognosis of meningitis is good, encephalitis and myelitis often result in sequelae, and a delay in the initiation of acyclovir treatment leads to poor prognosis. [intechopen.com]

Despite encountering VZV infections in patients with worse expected prognosis, the OS in patients who developed VZV infection was superior to that in patients who never developed the infection [19]. [heighpubs.org]

There is considerable evidence that neural hypoxia, secondary to impaired endoneurial microcirculatory perfusion, is a crucial etiologic factor in diabetic neuropathy; the unfavorable impact of diabetes on hemorheology would be expected to exacerbate [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Approximately 90% of all cases of vaginitis are thought to be attributable to 3 causes: bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis (or vulvovaginal candidiasis [VVC]), and Trichomonas vaginalis infection (trichomoniasis). [emedicine.medscape.com]

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic evidence, reinforced by clinical and laboratory studies, shows that the rich Western diet is the major underlying cause of death and disability (e.g, from cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes) in Western industrialized [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology A complex and intricate balance of microorganisms maintains the normal vaginal flora. Important organisms include lactobacilli, corynebacteria, and yeast. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Abstract The aim of these studies was to evaluate the potential of some nutritional approaches to prevent or reduce the body load of organochlorines (OC) in humans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
