You note the above skin disorder during a general medical evaluation. You explain to the patient they are at risk for the development of
A) Alzheimer’s disease
B) Tuberculosis
C) Diabetes mellitus
D) Graves’ disease
E) Melanoma
Answer And Discussion:
The answer is C. (Diabetes mellitus)
The condition shown in the picture is Acanthosis nigricans, a skin condition characterized by areas of dark, velvety discoloration in body folds and creases
Although the majority of cases of acanthosis nigricans are benign and associated with obesity, the disease can represent the onset of malignancy as well as a variety of conditions related to insulin resistance. Acanthosis nigricans has been reported in association with a number of malignancies, particular gastrointestinal cancers (e.g., gastric, hepatocellular), and lung cancer. The suspicion for malignancy increases in patients with extensive or rapidly progressive lesions, when there is mucous membrane involvement, or when there is prominent sole and palm disease. The common finding in all non malignancy-associated cases of acanthosis nigricans is insulin resistance. This explains the relationship between this skin disorder and diseases such as diabetes mellitus,
Cushing’s syndrome, and hypothyroidism (most likely due to weight gain and subsequent insulin resistance), and with obesity.

ReplyDeleteDon't You Think It's High Time You Tried Herbal Remedy?
ReplyDeleteIn July 2015, I was diagnosed of genital herpes.. I was 27 years old and I had no idea what that was. When my doctor explained to me what Genital Herpes was all about and what type I had...I was freaked out! if I had missed coming to the ER any sooner, I would still be in pain till now. as i have never heard of, or experienced the virus before! The rashes grew and i have been living with it ever since then. Most of the time, I feel dirty knowing i was living with herpes. Though the doctor already encouraged me to keep using my medications even though there 'was' no permanent cure for the virus. So i continued with my medications, which only makes the rashes to disappear, and reappear after some months. My vagina was all covered in painful blisters. I couldn't stand the pain and needed to get rid of the virus from my body system. So Late last year, I started surfing the web, seeking for herbal treatment as alternative. So i was on YouTube one evening,i stumbled upon a comment about Dr. Ugo and how his herbal medications cured a woman's daughter of Herpes and I decided to reach out to him. He asked me some questions which i answered, after which He prepared some herbs (in 70ml bottles) and sent them to me. He then guided me on how to use them. i used the herbal medications for about 21days. The rashes gradually dried up. So i went for a test after consuming the whole bottles. and alas, the result moved me to tears as I already believed all hope was lost. I was saved with the use of natural herbs.The doctor that conducted the test is still perplexed till today. So My experience with this virus made me to realize, people should find out more about themselves before it's too late. So that when tested positive, they will know how to go about it. If you are having any form of health challenges and needs your freedom again, contact Dr.Ugo (for your permanent healing) He is the right person to talk to.
