CHOROID PLEXUS CYST

Image
CHOROID PLEXUS CYST The choroid plexus is the part of the brain that makes the fluid that bathes and nourishes the brain. A CPC is a tiny “bubble” or “pocket” of fluid inside the choroid plexus that can be seen on ultrasound. There may be one or multiple CPCs. Choroid plexus cysts are nonneoplastic cysts lined by cells that are morphologically similar to those of the epithelium in the CNS. They have various names: ependymal cysts, neuroepithelial cysts, choroidal-epithelial cysts, and subarachnoid-ependymal cysts (Czervionke CF, Daniels DL, Meyer GL, Pojunas KW, Williams AL, Haughton VM. Neuroepithelial cysts of the lateral ventricles: MR appearance. AJNR 1987;8:609-613). They are found in 1-2% (1 in 50 to 1 in 100) of pregnancies. Most CPCs will go away before delivery; however even if they do remain, they do not have any effect on the pregnancy and do not require follow up. CPCs have also been seen in imaging of healthy individuals and do not have any long term effects

FEVER: The definition of fever is an elevation in body temperature or a high body temperature. Technically, any body temperature above the normal oral measurement of 98.6 Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) or the normal rectal temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) is considered elevated. However, these are averages, and one's normal body temperature may actually be 1 F (0.6 C) or more above or below the average of 98.6 F. Body temperature can also vary up to 1 F (0.6 C) throughout the day. Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 100.4 F (38 C), which is the temperature considered to be a fever by medical professionals. Anything above normal but below 100.4 F (38 C) is considered a low-grade fever. Fever serves as one of the body's natural defenses against bacteria and viruses that cannot live at a higher temperatures. For that reason, low-grade fevers should normally go untreated, unless accompanied by troubling symptoms or signs. Also, the body's de

           UTI – DIABETES MELLITUS Urinary tract infection (UTI) is more common in patients with diabetes mellitus. Bacteriuria is more common in females than males with diabetes. UTI is more common in female with diabetes than in non diabetes female as a consequence of debilitated immune system(1). UTI is the most important and most common site of infection in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are having 5 fold frequency of acute pyelonephritis than nondibetics. In pregnant diabetic women it is 2-4 times more common than normal population. Most UTI in DM patients are asymptomatic. Bacteriuria very often seen in diabetics if unrecognizable and inadequately treated , it lead to low grade foci of inflammation that can ultimately result in serious renal damage. Bacteriuria >_ 10 5 CFU/ml of bacteria Pyuria >10 WBC/mm3 /hpf UTI Pyuria + bacteriuria Asymptomatic bacteriuria
