Abstract:

A variety of signs and symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, can be found as a presenting symptom of an inborn error of metabolism in adults. In particular hepatomegaly, a frequent symptom of lysosomal storage disorders and hyperammonemia not caused by acquired liver disease are manifestations of a late presentation of a metabolic disorder. A wide variety of other symptoms and signs including jaundice, abdominal pain or diarrhea, may be caused by toxic metabolites or storage of undergraded macromolecules as well.

Abstract:

Neurological disorders of the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system are examined. Symptoms and signs related to disorders of the cerebral cortex may lead to alterations in cognition and consciousness. Unilateral neurologic symptoms involving a single neurologic symptom commonly localize to the cerebral cortex. Abnormalities of speech and language are localized to the dominant cerebral hemisphere, whereas abnormalities of the nondominant hemisphere may lead to visuospatial deficits, confusion, or neglect of the contralateral side of the body. The hypothalamus is important in many functions that affect everyday steady-state conditions, including temperature regulation, hunger, water regulation, sleep, endocrine functions, cardiovascular functions, and regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Cortical and subcortical abnormalities may also lead to visual system deficits, usually homonymous visual defects of the contralateral visual field. Sensory levels, signs of anterior horn cell involvement, and long-tract signs in the posterior columns or corticospinal tract suggest a spinal cord lesion.

Abstract:

Intracranial tumors are the most common solid malignancy in pediatrics, with the majority found in the posterior fossa. In these patients, presenting symptoms and signs are frequently related to intracranial hypertension due to obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow. Specific cranial nerve palsies and ataxia may also be presenting signs, with or without intracranial hypertension. The anesthesia for surgical resection is nuanced by management of intracranial hypertension, the potential for hemodynamic instability, and postoperative complications resulting from damage to critical brainstem structures. This chapter discusses signs, symptoms, and differential diagnosis; tumor classification; anesthetic induction; and intraoperative and postoperative complications of surgery for a posterior fossa tumor.

Abstract:

The primary endpoints of DBS adjustments are functional and as such, are related to the symptoms and signs due to the disease and consequent to stimulation. Thus, effective programming requires the programmer to be an astute clinician in the assessing symptoms and signs. This is not always a straight forward or intuitive process. For example, stimulation of the corticospinal tract can reduce tremor but interfere with other motor functions. Assesments often are complicated by the time required for changes to manifest rendering some assessments impractical in the confines of a clinic visit. A systematic approach is based on a knowledge of the disorder being treated and the regional anatomy around the DBS lead that allows anticipation of possible adverse effects. Effective assessments benefit from use of rating scales and adequate documentation.

Abstract:

Pheochromocytoma is a rare type of neoplasm diagnosed in children. It originates in the adrenal gland and is different from paragangliomas which arise outside the adrenals. Both types of tumors arise from neural crest cells and lead to signs and symptoms related to hypersecretion of catecholamines. Related symptoms include hypertension, tachycardia, episodic headache, sweating, and abdominal pain. These tumors may be associated with multiple endocrine type 2 syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, and von Hippel-Lindau disease, among other hereditary conditions. Pheochromocytomas can be malignant in nature but may be indistinguishable from benign disease histologically and functionally. When malignant, they present with regional invasion or distant metastasis. Conditions presenting as sympathetic overactivity in pediatric patients can resemble pheochromocytoma (i.e., panic disorder, amphetamine consumption).

Abstract:

The chapter discusses cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in pregnancy. The signs and symptoms of the patient depend on which venous sinus is clotted. The clinical features may include headache, bilateral symptoms, hemorrhagic stroke, and seizures. The headaches are related to elevated intracranial pressure and can mimic those of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Hematological changes that occur in pregnancy result in a hypercoagulable state; this normal physiology can predispose in certain situations to CVT. Other factors associated with an increase in the risk of clotting include infection, fluid loss, inactivity, and C-section. CVT is treated with anticoagulation, whereas seizures and other complications are managed symptomatically. The length of anticoagulation depends on whether additional clotting abnormalities are discovered. Anticoagulation is recommended for future pregnancies.

Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease is a significant and growing medical and public health problem, responsible for a substantial burden of illness and premature mortality. Renal disease has a dramatic impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL), with sleep disorders contributing significantly and 80% of the renal population reporting symptoms of disturbed sleep, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue. Many patients with sleep disorders remain underdiagnosed, since many of the signs and symptoms related to poor sleep are thought to be an unavoidable consequence of renal failure or inadequate dialysis. Effective management of sleep disorders could improve patients’ QoL and mortality. A growing body of evidence suggests significant advantages of nocturnal hemodialysis for control of uremia and therefore for improving sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.

Abstract:

Heart Failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by symptoms and signs of systemic or pulmonary congestion, associated with elevated intracardiac filling pressures. The structural and functional abnormalities of the myocardium which characterize the heart failure state can be explored by various imaging approaches. Hence cardiac imaging plays an integral part in the evaluation the heart failure patient. Radionuclide imaging techniques may be uniquely suited to address several important clinical questions in heart failure related to etiology, the quantification and serial evaluation of LV function, and the selection of patients for therapies including coronary revascularization, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Abstract:

The long history of catatonia is presently resolved into a systemic syndrome, identified by symptoms and signs, verified by tests, and fully resolved by defined means. Our skills in relieving catatonia are as successful as our treatment for neurosyphilis. Catatonia is best seen as a systemic medical, not a psychiatric disorder. Unresolved fear is a core feature in its pathophysiology. There are difficulties distinguishing catatonia from melancholia; the prompt resolution of both with induced seizures presents a challenge in understanding them. Are they related? Melancholia’s neuroendocrine abnormalities offer direction to neuroscience studies of catatonia and of the mechanism of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

Abstract:

Patients with dissociative (nonepileptic) seizures (DS) commonly, although not always, present with comorbid somatic and psychological symptoms. This chapter reviews the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of other functional somatic symptoms and disorders in relation to DS with a particular emphasis on other functional neurological symptoms such as movement disorder and sensory disturbance. Clinical assessment is presented as the start of treatment in patients with multiple functional symptoms including DS. The chapter discusses the importance of making a diagnosis of functional disorders, especially those in neurological settings, using positive evidence from the physical examination, such as Hoover’s sign for limb weakness or the tremor entrainment test for tremor. Practical methods of explaining these diagnoses to patients are reviewed, emphasizing the importance of transparency, educational materials, and presenting a model that focuses on mechanism more than etiology. The chapter concludes with a review of the evidence for treatment of a range of functional disorders often comorbid with DS.

Abstract:

It is now recognized that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is partly a paediatric problem, i.e. the onset begins in childhood, although clinical symptoms may not become apparent until later in life. Therefore, from a primary prevention point of view, the extent to which physical activity or physical fitness in childhood may deter this process is of utmost importance. Although physical activity and CRF at a young age have not been directly linked to the incidence of CVD, evidence thus far supports cardiovascular health benefits of early higher physical activity and CRF levels on cardiometabolic risk factors like obesity, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and their maintenance throughout the course of life. By affecting these intermediary pathways, lifelong (high-intensity) physical activity may also deter the age-related decreases in CRF and related signs of premature arterial ageing.

Abstract:

Psychiatric disorders are currently diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the closely related International Classification of Diseases. Both diagnostic classification schemes are descriptive and based on a collection of signs and symptoms associated with a given disorder. The fundamental weakness of the schemes is that they are not based on the underlying genetic or neurobiological etiology or pathophysiology of a disorder which of course remain unknown for all common psychiatric syndromes. As more is learned about the biological basis of a mental disorder it will be possibly increasingly to build more accurate diagnostic schemes with greater prognostic and treatment validity.

Abstract:

Paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs) are estimated to affect approximately 0.01% of all patients with cancer. The majority of PNDs are thought to be the byproduct of immune-mediated processes directed against tumor-related antigens, processes which are sometimes effective against a systemic cancer. The inciting cancer is often asymptomatic or occult, with patients presenting to the neurologist with a variety of neurological symptoms and signs depending on the area(s) of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system involved. The diagnosis of a PND is reserved for patients with histologically proven cancer; however, clinical presentation and diagnostic test results may make the diagnosis of a PND highly probable in the absence of the diagnosis of a cancer.

Abstract:

Balint’s syndrome is the most severe neuropsychological disorder affecting spatial attention that has been observed. In humans, it can be observed after bilateral occipital-parietal damage. The signs and symptoms of this syndrome are first described and then discussed in terms of how research with patients with Balint’s syndrome has helped and/or limited our understanding of object-based attention, visual search, and feature binding in visual perception. The findings have also supported the existence of implicit spatial maps that are available in the face of severely limited conscious spatial awareness. The results of such studies have led to advancements in attentional theory, especially as related to spatial attention and its interaction with object perception.

Abstract:

This chapter describes neurologic disorders related primarily to occupational exposures along with presenting signs and symptoms. Acute or subacute occupational exposure to high levels of neurotoxic compounds, which occurred in the past and resulted in unique presentations of neurological disorders, occur infrequently today. Sections include the evaluation of toxic neuropathies and the approach to neurobehavioral impairment along with the cognitive domains commonly affected with exposure to neurointoxicants. A section describes the approach to a patient with exposure to neurointoxicants that includes the need for a temporal association between exposure and effect, a dose-effect relationship, biological plausibility, and other causes eliminated Effects of selected neurotoxins are described, including carbon monoxide, lead, organic solvents, and manganese.

Abstract:

Our focus in this chapter is to address some of the philosophical issues that arise in the scientific and clinical study of the prodromal phase of psychosis. We discuss issues from both metaphysics and philosophy of science as we all as those related to phenomenological approaches and clinical ethics. A clear challenge arises in considering how models of a continuum of psychosis and of schizophrenia as a neurodevelopmental disorder can be reconciled with a scientific understanding of the prodrome as a discrete constellation of signs and symptoms. Clinical and research work on the prodromal stage of psychosis also highlights ethical concerns. Demarcating a mental disorder and applying therapeutic interventions, based solely on risk estimation, should not be carried out lightly.

Abstract:

As gambling becomes more popular, more people will be exposed to it; thus, the prevalence of and demand for gambling-related treatments are expected to increase. Pathological gambling (PG) is the most severe level of gambling compromise, characterized by unrestrained gambling to the point of financial and psychosocial harm. Classified among the impulse control disorders, PG resembles other addictive disorders. A host of scales for screening and diagnosing PG are available for both the specialist and the general practitioner. The diagnosis of PG, like that of other addictions, is based upon signs of loss of control over the target behavior (i.e., gambling), dose escalation (increasing amounts wagered to get the same excitement as in previous bets), withdrawal-like symptoms, psychosocial harm, persistent desire, and persistent betting despite the negative consequences. Its treatment requires thorough assessment of psychiatric related conditions, motivational intervention, gambling-focused psychotherapy, relapse prevention, and support for maintenance of treatment gains. Psychopharmacological tools to treat craving and gambling recurrence are an incipient but promising field.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that where narrativity ends, intimacy may begin. The clinical encounter is an aesthetic experience. One must dodge the scientific rationalism in order to preserve the phenomenological understanding and achieve an understanding of the meaning of a clinical situation as felt, rather than simply assessing objective signs and symptoms. The acceptance of atmospheres as clinically relevant phenomena is ultimately related to the acknowledgement of the ambiguous nature of the clinical encounter. The clinical encounter is an event suspended between the pathic and the linguistic domains of experience, an open event that invites participation, and must remain so in order to preserve the phenomenological precision. Intimacy is an atmosphere in which both partners feel a sense of connectedness and a shared understanding. It can be encapsulated in the formula ‘aloneness–togetherness’—sharing one’s own aloneness with another person. Intimacy is the meeting of two solitudes. This relatedness is transformational.
