  1. Functional symptom

    A functional symptom is a medicine medical symptom in an individual which is very broadly conceived as arising from a problem in nervous system functioning and not due to a structural or pathologically defined disease cause. Functional symptoms are increasingly viewed within a framework in which psychological, physiological and biological factors should be considered to be relevant. ref name pmid12153926 cite journal author Mayou R, Farmer A title ABC of psychological medicine Functional somatic symptoms and syndromes journal BMJ volume 325 issue 7358 pages 265 8 year 2002 pmid 12153926 doi 10.1136 bmj.325.7358.265 url http bmj.com cgi pmidlookup?view long&pmid 12153926 pmc 1123778 ref Historically, there has often been fierce debate about whether certain problems are predominantly related to an abnormality of structure disease or function abnormal nervous system functioning , and what are at one stage posited to be functional symptoms are sometimes later reclassified as organic, as investigative techniques improve. Thus, on finding itself unable to discover effective treatments or physiological causes for symptoms, the medical profession, in explaining to itself these limitations of its own power over nature, is of course subject to a temptation to minimize the explanatory role played by the many gaps in its own current scientific understanding, and instead to grope for theories of psychosomatic aetiology to account for the physical symptoms that it cannot otherwise explain, and cannot cure. To caricature this reasoning I can t cure you you must be mad . It is well established that psychosomatic symptoms are a real phenomenon, so this potential explanation is often plausible, not always easily refutable, and can be reassuring at least for the doctor . Sometimes it is correct For example symptoms associated with migraine , epilepsy , schizophrenia , multiple sclerosis , stomach ulcers , chronic fatigue syndrome , Lyme disease and many other conditions have all tended ...   more details

  1. Limited symptom attack

    A limited symptom attack LSA , also referred to as a limited symptom panic attack LPA , is a milder, less comprehensive form of panic attack , with fewer than 4 panic related symptoms being experienced APA 1994 . For example, a sudden episode of intense dizziness or trembling accompanied by fear that something terrible is about to happen. Many people with panic disorder have a mixture of full blown and limited symptom attacks. LSAs often manifest in anxiety disorders , phobias , panic disorder and agoraphobia . However, experiencing a LSA is not necessarily indicative of mental illness . Often persons recovering from and or being treated for panic attacks and panic disorder will experience LSAs. Symptoms According to the DSM IV , during a LSA, fewer than 4 of the following symptoms would be experienced, in contrast to a full blown panic attack , which must include 4 or more symptoms. dyspnea shortness of breath heart palpitations trembling dizziness chest pain perspiration hot flash es headache derealization paresthesia hyperventilation nausea vertigo medical vertigo lightheadedness burning sensations choking sensations fear of dying fear of insanity Duration As with a panic attack , a LSA typically peaks in 10 minutes. However, attacks can be as short as 1 to 5 minutes or can form a series of episodes waxing and waning for a period of hours.

  1. Anorexia (symptom)

    For Anorexia disambiguation Anorexia nervosa disambiguation Prose date January 2011 SignSymptom infobox Name Anorexia ICD10 ICD10 R 63 0 r 50 ICD9 ICD9 783.0 c MeshID D000855 Anorexia deriving from the Greek language Greek a n , a prefix that denotes absence orexe appetite is the decreased sensation of appetite . While the term in non scientific publications is often used interchangeably with anorexia nervosa , many possible causes exist for a decreased appetite, some of which may be harmless, while others indicate a serious clinical condition or pose a significant risk. For example, anorexia of infection is part of the acute phase response APR to infection. The APR response can be triggered by lipopolysaccharide s and peptidoglycan s from bacterial cell walls, bacterial DNA, double stranded viral RNA, and viral glycoprotein s, which can trigger production of a variety of proinflammatory cytokines . These can have an indirect effect on appetite by a number of means, including peripheral afferent s from their sites of production in the body, by enhancing production of leptin from fat stores. Inflammatory cytokines can also signal to the central nervous system more directly by specialized transport mechanisms through the blood brain barrier , via circumventricular organ s which are outside the barrier , or by triggering production of eicosanoid s in the endothelial cell s of the brain vasculature. Ultimately the control of appetite by this mechanism is thought to be mediated by the same factors normally controlling appetite , such as neurotransmitters serotonin , dopamine , histamine , corticotropin releasing factor , neuropeptide Y , and melanocyte stimulating hormone . ref cite web url http www.nutritionjrnl.com article S0899 9007 2800 2900421 4 abstract title Anorexia of infection current prospects author Wolfgang Langhans publisher Journal of Nutrition date 2000 06 05 volume 16 number 10 pages 996 1005 ref Causes Clinically important causes Acute radia ...   more details
