Guillain-Barre Syndrome - Neurologychannel A description of Guillain-Barre syndrome, also known as Landry's ascending paralysis and acute idiopathic Category Health Conditions and Diseases Guillain-Barre Syndrome GuillainBarre Syndrome, also known as Landry's ascending paralysis, acute idiopathicpolyradiculneuritis and acute idiopathic polyneuritis, is an inflammatory http://www.neurologychannel.com/guillain/
Extractions: Overview Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves convey sensory information (i.e., pain, temperature, etc.) from the body to the brain and motor (i.e., movement) signals from the brain to the body. GBS is characterized by weakness and numbness or tingling in the legs and arms, and possible loss of movement and feeling in the legs, arms, upper body, and face. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradicalneuropathy (CIDP), is considered to be a related form of Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is much less common than GBS, and evolves much more slowly and usually is longer lasting. Some CIDP patients experience periods of worsening and improvement, and individual relapses are often confused with GBS.
Extractions: Commences with progressive muscular weakness of extremities that may lead to paralysis. It spreads rapidly, ascending to involve the cranial nerves. Commences distally but spreads proximally and may involve the bulbar region and the diaphragm. Clinical features are pain in the back and the legs and weakness beginning in the feet and legs and progressing upwards. The respiratory muscles are affected in about half the cases, and this puts the patient in danger. The tendon reflexes are lost.

Extractions: An orphan or rare disease is generally considered to have a prevalence of less than 200,000 affected individuals in the USA. Certain diseases with more than 200,000 affected individuals are included but subpopulations of these conditions may be less than the prevalence standard for rare disease. This list includes rare diseases and conditions for which information requests have been made to the Office of Rare Diseases. It is updated on a regular basis.

Extractions: Nonrespiratory Conditions The September-October 1987 issue of Coding Clinic indicated that respiratory failure can be designated as the principal diagnosis when it is due to an underlying disease, depending on the circumstances. Coding Clinic November-December 1987 further indicated that respiratory failure due to or associated with a respiratory condition is appropriately sequenced as the principal diagnosis when the circumstances of the admission support such a decision. Since that time, the Central Office on ICD-9-CM has received numerous questions regarding the sequencing of respiratory failure with an associated or underlying nonpulmonary diagnosis. The question is whether respiratory failure can be listed as the principal diagnosis in such cases. The following guidelines are provided to assist in determining the correct sequencing of diagnoses when a patient is admitted in respiratory failure associated with a nonrespiratory condition.

Extractions: GENERAL INFORMATION Guillain-Barrqe syndrome is an inflammatory condition of nerves and muscles that causes rapid weakness and loss of sensation. The central nervous systemincluding the brain, the coverings of the brain (meninges), and the spinal cord and peripheral nerves and muscles are involved. Guillain-Barrqe syndrome can affect both sexes, all ages, but occurs far more commonly in adults than children.

MEDLINEplus Drug Information: Mercaptopurine many types of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoidarthritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, acute idiopathic nephrotic syndrome http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a682653.html
Extractions: Contents of this page: Your doctor has ordered the drug mercaptopurine to help treat your illness. The drug is taken by mouth in tablet form. This medication is used to treat: This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Mercaptopurine belongs to a group of drugs known as antimetabolites. It resembles a normal cell nutrient needed by cancer cells to grow. The cancer cells take up mercaptopurine which then interferes with their growth. Mercaptopurine also is used to treat many types of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, acute idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, erythroid aplasia, or myelofibrosis; idiopathic hemolytic anemia; macroglobulinemia; idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura; idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis; multiple sclerosis; myasthenia gravis; uveitis; and ulcerative colitis. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition. Before taking mercaptopurine
