Level I Hyperglycemia Alert: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nonketotic hyperglycemia-associated chorea is a rare condition that upon presentation to the emergency department can be easily misdiagnosed as a seizure or a stroke. Although uncommon, identification of this condition can aid emergency physicians in avoiding unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments for other neurological pathology. Furthermore, prompt hyperglycemic control can result in reversal of symptoms within days.

Case report

We present a case of nonketotic hyperglycemia-associated chorea where the patient was transferred to our facility as a hemorrhagic stroke alert, based on a false-positive interpretation of head computed tomography (CT) imaging.

Conclusion

Nonketotic hyperglycemia on CT imaging and clinical presentation can mimic stroke presentations. Prompt recognition of key features can lead to appropriate treatment.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Glioneuronal tumor with CLIP2-MET fusion: A case report

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.

Hemichorea Associated With Non-ketotic Hyperglycemia: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Objective: To explore the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, therapy, and mechanism of hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia (HC-NH) so as to enhance awareness and avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of the disease. Methods: A case of HC-NH was reported and reviewed in terms of the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. Results: Hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia is a rare complication of diabetes mellitus, which is commonly seen in elderly women with poorly-controlled diabetes. The condition is characterized by non-ketotic hyperglycemia, unilateral involuntary choreiform movements, and contralateral basal ganglia hyper-intensity by T1-weighted MR imaging or high density on CT scans. Blood glucose control is the basal treatment, in combination with dopamine receptor antagonists and benzodiazepine sedative, in controlling hemichorea. Conclusion: In clinical practice, the possibility of unilateral chorea should be considered for diabetic patients with poor blood glucose control.

Transient Homonymous Superior Quadrantanopsia in Nonketotic Hyperglycemia: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

Project description:Background and purposeNonketotic hyperglycemia often causes transient visual field defects, but only scattered anecdotes are available in the literature.MethodsWe report a patient with homonymous superior quadrantanopsia due to nonketotic hyperglycemia and provide a systematic literature review of the clinical features of 40 previously reported patients (41 in total, including our case) with homonymous visual field defects in association with nonketotic hyperglycemia.ResultsThe typical visual field defect was congruous (84.6%), homonymous hemianopsia (87.8%) with macular splitting (61.5%) or sparing (38.5%). It was transient and repetitive in 54.5% of the patients, but it developed as a persistent form in the remainder. Positive visual symptoms such as hallucinations and phosphenes developed in 73.2% of patients. Brain MRI revealed corresponding abnormalities in most patients (84.8%), characterized by a low-intensity white-matter signal or a high-intensity gray-matter signal on T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images with diffusion restriction or gadolinium enhancement. Most (97.0%) patients recovered completely, with 48.5% treated by glycemic control alone and the remainder also receiving antiepileptic agents.ConclusionsNonketotic hyperglycemia should be considered a possible cause of transient visual field defects, especially when it is associated with repetitive positive visual symptoms and typical MRI findings in hyperglycemic patients.

Metabolically Healthy Obesity is not a Myth: A Case Report

Project description:People with obesity who do not have the metabolic syndrome or components of the metabolic syndrome have been characterized as having metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). However, the existence of MHO has been questioned because people with MHO are at greater risk of developing diabetes and fatal cardiovascular disease than people who are lean and healthy. A 25 year-old woman with rigorously defined MHO (based on normal oral glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity (assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure), plasma triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol, intrahepatic triglyceride content and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) was evaluated at baseline (BMI=37.7 kg/m2) and 5 years later, after gaining 30.8 kg (32%) in weight (BMI=49.6 kg/m2). The increase in weight was comprised of an 8.8 kg (20%) increase in FFM, 22.0 kg (42%) increase in total body fat, 8.1 kg (37%) increase in leg fat mass, 57% increase in subcutaneous abdominal fat and a 78% in intra-abdominal fat. Weight gain did not have adverse effects on fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance, beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, plasma triglyceride, intrahepatic triglyceride content and CIMT. Adipose tissue expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix formation did not change. Adipose tissue expression of several inflammation-related genes increased by more than 30%, but was not associated with a corresponding increase in plasma cytokine concentrations, with the exception of an increase in plasma IL-6. The present case study demonstrates that some people with obesity are resistant to the adverse cardiometabolic effects of excess adiposity and marked weight gain.
