Abstract:
Danon disease, like Pompe disease, is a muscle disorder caused by a primary defect in lysosomal proteins. Danon disease (OMIM #300257) is an X-linked dominant disorder, with males being more severely affected than female carriers. In males, mean disease onset is in their early teens and in females in their late twenties. Clinical hallmarks are a severe cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness, and mild mental retardation. Retinal, liver, and pulmonary disease may also occur. Milder, sometimes isolated cardiac phenotypes without mental retardation are also described. Regular cardiac evaluation, even in asymptomatic patients, is obligatory.

Abstract:
Mania is a mental state centrally characterized by psychomotor activation, creativity, and lack of insight. It is biologically based, and primarily characterized by psychomotor activation, with mood changes being secondary and epiphenomenal. Mania may be diagnostically central to all mood illnesses, including depressive conditions. Mania enhances creativity, and in its milder forms, such as cyclothymic or hyperthymic temperaments, has many positive aspects, reflected in social benefits and historical achievements. Lack of insight impairs the self-understanding of the person with manic symptoms, and is an important clinical problem. Psychoanalytic and postmodernist approaches fail to appreciate these important features of mania.

In its milder forms, autism is widespread, but often not considered as an explanation for odd, egocentric, rigid, and/or potentially socially problematic behaviour. The reader is encouraged in this chapter to consider how autism might present in the world in which (s)he works and lives. A series of case vignettes are then used (in this chapter), drawn from ordinary life settings (work, college, neighbourhood, family, etc.) to illustrate and inform awareness, and possible consideration of autism that has been missed earlier in the person’s life. Questions are posed following each case vignette that the reader is asked to try to answer. Care recommendations then follow.

Full text
Abstract:
Which comprehension axioms of higher-order logic are acceptable? That is, under what conditions does a formula define a concept or circumscribe some objects? It is well known that unrestricted higher-order comprehension is incompatible with unrestricted reification of higher-order entities. In search of a response to this conflict, an argument against all forms of impredicative comprehension is formulated; for example, when defining a concept, we may not quantify over a totality to which this concept belongs. Although this predicativist argument is ultimately rejected, a careful analysis of it points the way to some milder logical restrictions, which suffice to resolve the conflict.

Full text
Abstract:
There is increasing recognition of adult presentations of metabolic diseases typically associated with children. These phenotypes are often milder and potentially mistaken for more common adult-onset disorders, therefore requiring a high index of suspicion. The most common adult-onset clinical features involve focal dystonias and parkinsonism. Making a diagnosis of dopa-responsive dystonia in an adult typically involves a therapeutic trial of low-dose levodopa. Genetic testing may be useful to confirm dopa-responsive dystonia and rule out other causes of dystonia and tremor. The neurological examination should be performed carefully to ensure that subtle dystonia is not missed. A trial of levodopa may be warranted to ensure that late-onset dopa-responsive dystonia is not missed.

Abstract:
The serotonin syndrome is a toxic syndrome resulting from excessive stimulation of central 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. This is most commonly an iatrogenic syndrome, which in its most severe form can be fatal. It is more common for milder forms to present, and there is increasing recognition of serotoninergic drugs that can give rise to serotonin syndrome when used in combination. It is essential for physicians to be familiar with the clinical features of serotonin toxicity and similar syndromes discussed in this chapter that are marked by altered awareness, autonomic instability, changes in muscle tone, and pyrexia. Withdrawal of the drug(s) believed to be responsible and supportive care are the primary therapeutic steps.

Full text
Abstract:
Eugen Bleuler, professor of psychiatry in Zurich, renamed Kraepelin’s dementia praecox as “schizophrenia” in 1908. He retained catatonia as a subtype. Bleuler’s dementia praecox was a much milder and broader condition than the downhill course toward dementia that Kraepelin had described: it could strike at any moment in life, not just in youth, and often ended in partial recovery. Ultimately, Kraepelin’s and Bleuler’s efforts gave rise to an immense “schizophrenia” literature, an industry that continues today, an outpouring that can be compared only to the enormous “hysteria” industry that existed before DSM-III abolished the diagnosis in 1980. The effect is striking: one moment the profession believes implicitly in a disease so huge as to dominate the literature; the next moment the disease no longer exists.

Abstract:
Slave labor in eighteenth-century Isle Bourbon was shaped by the cultivation of staple crops, unlike the proto-industrial forms of labor found in the sugar plantations of the Atlantic world, and may have been milder, though periodic cyclones brought famine to slaves and their masters alike. On the eve of the French Revolution, following the death of Charles Routier, Madeleine’s mistress filed manumission papers, freeing her. As a result of the slave revolt in Saint-Domingue (Haiti), France issued the 1794 Decree of 16 Pluviôse abolishing slavery throughout the colonies. Although Madeleine should have been considered free twice over, the widow Routier declared Madeleine her slave on her 1796 census, a moment when Madeleine—like many free people of color in France’s empire—faced potential or actual re-enslavement.

Full text
Abstract:
The fatty acid oxidation disorders are a group of autosomally recessively inherited disorders of energy metabolism that may present with life-threatening hypoketotic hypoglycemia, encephalopathy and hepatic dysfunction, muscle symptoms, and/or cardiomyopathy. Milder phenotypes may present in adulthood, causing exercise intolerance, episodic rhabdomyolysis, and neuropathy. Specific investigations include acylcarnitine profiling, urine organic acid analysis, fibroblast or leucocyte studies of fatty acid oxidation flux/enzyme activity, and genetic testing. Management varies depending on the condition but includes avoidance of precipitants such as fasting, fever, and intense exercise, a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet, and supplementation with carnitine or riboflavin. Inborn errors of riboflavin transport mainly present with Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome. Some patients respond dramatically to riboflavin supplementation; therefore it has to be tried in all suspected patients.

Abstract:
With recent developments in the classification and definitions for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), neuropsychological assessments have become central to the diagnostic process. The pattern and manifestation of neurocognitive dysfunction associated with HIV have changed since the introduction of effective antiretroviral medications and their increasingly widespread use. Prior to the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, severe cognitive disorder presenting as HIV-associated dementia (HAD) was a common manifestation of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. In more recent times, however, milder forms of neurocognitive impairment have become more common, often being asymptomatic and difficult to recognize without formal neuropsychological testing. Hence, recognizing individuals at most risk for cognitive decline through neuropsychological testing will offer opportunities for developing targeted interventions that could delay disease progression and improve individual functioning and quality of life.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores the vagueness inherent in the conceptual structure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although psychopathologists have developed precise diagnostic criteria for PTSD, concepts such as traumatic, severe, and impaired generate borderline cases. As in the sorites paradox, where difficult to distinguish but successively smaller piles of sand may be called heaps, in PTSD similar but successively milder traumatic events may produce PTSD symptoms. The vagueness that bedevils PTSD is of two sorts: the degree vagueness manifested in gradual transitions between subtraumatic and traumatic stressors; and vagueness between normal and abnormal reactions. Also discussed here is an alternative causal systems approach in which the symptoms of PTSD are causally related parts of PTSD. Such mereological structures produce combinatorial vagueness in which there are borderline cases between PTSD and other psychiatric syndromes.

Full text
Abstract:
Serine deficiency is a rare cause of intractable seizures and severe psychomotor retardation in infants and young children. However, in recent years it has become clear that serine deficiency in adolescents and adults can give rise to milder forms of seizure disorders and mild mental retardation or to a phenotype with severe progressive polyneuropathy. Serine deficiency can be diagnosed on the basis of low values of serine in plasma and CSF using routine amino acid analysis. However, with the introduction of next generation sequencing in clinical diagnostics the majority of patients are diagnosed through molecular testing of the three genes of the synthesis pathway. L-serine therapy is highly effective in the treatment of seizures and improvement of wellbeing and daily activities. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are important to prevent irreversible damage to the central or peripheral nervous system.

Abstract:
Binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa, particularly milder cases, often go unrecognized and untreated in primary care practice settings. Eating disorders are frequently associated with shame, and masked by other prominent physical and psychiatric conditions that demand attention. Among adults, binge eating disorder, the most prevalent of the eating disorders, occurs with increasing frequency, in tandem with higher rates and degrees of obesity, across all age ranges, and in both genders. Bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are more common in females, and although they are most often seen in pediatric and adolescent medicine practices cases, they are also seen in adult practice populations. This chapter describes pathways by which primary care practices can implement integrated and collaborative care treatment programs, likely to benefit large numbers of patients, and effectively coordinate with specialist levels of care, as necessary.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the mood disorders. Major depressive disorder is characterized by neurovegetative changes, anhedonia, and suicidal ideation. Persistent depressive disorder is a milder form of depression, lasting for at least 2 years, with little or no remission during that time... Psychotic features can occur in both depressive and manic episodes. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is diagnosed through use of a prospective daily symptom ratings log showing a cyclical pattern over at least 2 consecutive months. Patients with mood episodes with mixed features have a high risk of suicide. Some patients with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder may develop catatonic features characterized by marked psychomotor disturbance. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the usual first-line medication treatment for patients with major depressive disorder. For patients with bipolar disorder the mainstays of somatic therapy are lithium and the anticonvulsants valproate and carbamazepine.

Full text
Abstract:
Adaptation to climatic conditions is a major ecological and evolutionary driver. Long-term study of European badger population dynamics in Oxfordshire reveals that rainfall and temperature patterns affect food (principally earthworm) availability, energy expended in thermoregulation, and activity patterns, with badgers able to seek refuge in their setts. Cubs prove especially vulnerable to harsh weather conditions, where drought and food shortages exacerbate the severity of pandemic juvenile coccidial parasite infections. Crucially, weather variability, rather than just warming trends, stresses badgers, by destabilising their bioclimatic niche. Summer droughts cause mortality, even driving genetic selection; and while milder winters generally benefit badgers, less time spent in torpor leads to more road casualties. Similar effects also operate over a wide spatial scale in Ireland, impacting regional badger densities and bodyweights. That even an adaptable, generalist musteloid is so variously susceptible to weather conditions highlights how climate change places many species and ecosystems at risk.

Full text
Abstract:
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common, inherited, pediatric motor neuron disorder caused by insufficient SMN protein. As of yet, there is no good treatment for the disease. SMA has an incidence of ~1 in 10,000 newborns carrier frequency of 1 in 50, making it the most common inherited cause of infant mortality. Patients with severe SMA, or Werdnig-Hoffman disease, typically manifest weakness during the first 6 months of life. Such patients are so debilitated that they never sit independently, frequently succumbing to the disease before age 2 years. A much milder form of SMA, Kugelberg-Welander disease, with onset after 18 months of age, often during childhood and characterized by prolonged ambulation and a normal life expectancy, was described in 1956. In 1995 mutations in a novel gene, Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1), were determined to be the specific cause of SMA.

Full text
Abstract:
Cognitive and behavioural dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurs in up to half of patients with a spectrum from ALS with no cognitive or behavioural impairment to ALS with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ~ 15% have a full blown ALS-FTD syndrome, while ~ 35% show milder and specific deficits on verbal fluency, executive and language functions and social cognition. Patients may show a behavioural syndrome that ranges from mild specific difficulties to changes that fulfil diagnostic criteria for behavioural variant-FTD. Apathy is the most prevalent symptom, but disinhibition, perseveration, loss of sympathy/empathy, and change in eating behaviour are also described. The importance of assessment is increasingly recognized. A distinction is made between brief assessment tools useful within ALS clinics and more extensive neuropsychological assessment by a qualified clinical neuropsychologist. Newly developed assessments specifically designed for ALS are available and will make valuable contribution to clinical care.

Abstract:
Low back pain (LBP) is pain arising from the structures of the lumbar spine, including joints, discs, connective tissue, and nerves. Symptoms include pain and, muscle tightness or stiffness, with or without referral of pain to the legs. Most (95%) of LBP is managed in primary care; the rest is managed in secondary care. LBP affects nearly everyone at some point in their life and has an annual prevalence of around 40%. It is less common in children but from age 16 onwards the point prevalence for all age groups is around 25%. Many experience milder persisting symptoms interspersed with exacerbations, and 7% of adults have persisting LBP, which restricts function. This chapter discusses LBP, including definitions, differential diagnosis, context, approach to diagnosis, specific clues to the diagnosis, key diagnostic tests, treatment and therapy, prognosis, and how to handle uncertainty in the diagnosis of the symptom.

Full text
Abstract:
Hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHC) may occur as a result of a variety of inherited and acquired conditions ranging from mild and benign to severe and life threatening, and there is a higher probability that they will first manifest during early adulthood rather than infancy, with acquired forms commonly presenting into old age. Milder forms of HHC may exist without homocystinuria, and screening tests relying on the presence of homocystine in the urine will give a false negative result. Methylcobalamin is an essential cofactor for methionine synthase, a key enzyme in the homocysteine remethylation pathway: consequently, investigation for inherited abnormalities of intracellular B12 metabolism forms an integral part of the biochemical investigation of HHC. Additionally, there are acquired forms of HHC, notably those involving vitamin B12 deficiency and malabsorption. Mild to moderate HHC has also been associated with alcohol abuse, excessive caffeine intake, hypothyroidism, and poor renal function.
