Ocular myasthenia
24,50 € Add to basketOcular myasthenia: an autoimmune disorder that causes weakness
in the eye and eyelid muscles. It triggers double vision and eyelid
drooping due to a failure in nerve transmission. Treatment is based
on immunosuppressants and medications.
-
Ocular reactive arthritis
24,50 € Add to basketOcular reactive arthritis: manifestation of an immune response to
past infections causing inflammation in the eyes (uveitis). It triggers
redness, pain, and blurred vision, requiring a multidisciplinary approach
between rheumatologists and ophthalmologists for effective treatment
and long-term prevention of visual complications. -
Overactive thyroid
24,50 € Add to basketAn overactive thyroid gland defines the hormonal excess caused by an
immune reaction against the thyroid gland. This condition generates
hyperthyroidism and goiter, causing a visual and functional disparity
compared to a healthy gland. -
Pancreatic islets of Langerhans
24,50 € Add to basketPancreatic islets of Langerhans: pancreatic cell groups vital for
insulin production. Their destruction or exhaustion causes deficient
blood glucose regulation. Understanding their function is fundamental
for the permanent treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. -
Pernicious anemia
24,50 € Add to basketPernicious anemia: an autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack
the stomach, preventing the absorption of vitamin B12. This leads to
the formation of defective red blood cells and neurological damage.
It causes fatigue and weakness, so it requires lifelong treatment with
vitamin B12 supplements to stabilize the blood and the nervous system. -
Primary adrenal insufficiency
24,50 € Add to basketPrimary adrenal insufficiency: a disorder where the adrenal glands
lose activity in the glomerular and fascicular layers. This prevents cortisol
and aldosterone production due to immune failure. It requires lifelong
hormonal treatment to regulate metabolism and blood pressure. -
Primary adrenal insufficiency
24,50 € Add to basketPrimary adrenal insufficiency: a disorder where the adrenal glands
do not produce cortisol or aldosterone due to autoimmune damage or
infection. It causes fatigue, hypotension, and skin darkening. Treatment
consists of lifelong hormone replacement to stabilize metabolism and
blood pressure. -
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
24,50 € Add to basketProgressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a serious brain
infection that destroys myelin in people with weakened immune
systems. This pathology, caused by the JC virus, triggers white
matter lesions that disrupt nerve transmission and cause permanent
neurological damage. -
Pulmonary pleural inflammation
24,50 € Add to basketPneumothorax refers to the inflammation of the membrane
surrounding the lungs, causing sharp pain when breathing
and shortness of breath. This condition can lead to a pleural
effusion or fluid buildup, requiring an accurate diagnosis of
the underlying cause. -
Secondary adrenal insufficiency
24,50 € Add to basketSecondary adrenal insufficiency: a disorder caused by low ACTH
production in the pituitary gland. This reduces adrenal cortisol due to
pituitary tumors or abrupt steroid withdrawal. It causes fatigue and
weakness, requiring glucocorticoid treatment to restore hormonal and
metabolic balance. -
Sjögren’s lacrimal gland
24,50 € Add to basketSjögren’s lacrimal gland is an autoimmune inflammation that
destroys the ability to produce tears, causing severe dry eye.
This pathology, common in women, causes irritation and a
gritty sensation in the eyes, requiring the use of artificial tears. -
Sjögren’s skin dryness
24,50 € Add to basketSjögren’s skin dryness describes the skin dehydration caused by an
autoimmune attack on secretory glands. This condition, more
common in women, causes roughness, itching, and a weakened
skin barrier, accompanied by the lack of tears and saliva.
