Muscle Atrophy: Systemic muscle atrophy associated with disuse

Previously, you researched and considered three conditions through the process of differential diagnosis that would present with varying abnormalities in homeostasis, metabolism, triglycerides and DNA in week 1. Abnormalities in oxidation, plasma and tissue enzyme activity, inflammation and alopecia respectively in week 2 and increased cortisol and demonstrated bone loss in week 3.

Given the new symptom presentation above, consider and answer the following questions

create a 2-3 paragraphs per each of the questions listed below.

Mid-point in the course, is your differential diagnosis more closely centered upon a specialty? Are you focused upon metabolic, autoimmune, infectious, psychological, or neurological? Reconfirm or reestablish your top two diagnoses and rationalize your answers.

Is this a systemic disease affecting multiple organ systems or do you believe this is an isolated condition with random symptom presentation? Rationalize your answer.

Based upon what you currently know through symptom presentation and the process of differential diagnosis, what further tests would you order to help confirm your current diagnoses? Rationalize your answer. Please

As we studied before all this differential diagnosis more closely centered upon a speciality..it is focused upon metabolic,autoimmune,infectious disorder..There are top two diagnosis to be explained in this:
? Abnormality in DNA:
? Chromosomal abnormalities usually occur when there is an error in cell division..down syndrome and bisomy 21 is a common disorder occur when the person has three copies of chromosome 21..there are many other disorder include Turner syndrome.Klinefelter syndrome,cri clu chat syndrome..
?Diagnosis and test include by genitic testing and new born screening can find out early..This genetic changes associated with increased risk of future health problem like cancer..Our well-known example is breast cancer is occur by mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes..This genitic disorder may cause severe health problem that they are uncurable in life..In this condition miscarriage of an affected embryo or fetus or may be stillborn can die shortly as soon as born..It can be treatable with some supportive care..
?Second one is metabolic disorder occur when the metabolism process fails..our body is so sensitive to abnormal metabolism..
? It can occur in many forms like
? -Absence of enzyme or vitamin which is important for chemical reaction..
? -a disease in liver,pancrease,endocrine glands and other organs need metabolism..
   -Nutritional deficiences can be a cause..
?Most of the americans around 30.3million children and adults have diabetes and gaucher's disease cause is unable to break down fat and it gives symptoms like pain and bone damage and even death..
? Heriditary hemochromatosis can be treated by removing blood from the body on a regular basis..
?Some systemic diseases affecting many organs and tissues like heart,liver,brain,lungs,joints,and eyes..In some condition due to the worsen symptoms the microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism..the cultured organism can cause diseases when it go to healthy organism..This diseases affecting not only a particular body part it affects the whole body..
