Illnesses involved when oxygen and nutrients cannot reach tissues effectively

By SWA

There are various viral, bacterial, and other medical conditions that can affect blood circulation and lead to symptoms like stiffness and cramping.

  1. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow, especially to the limbs, causing pain, stiffness, and cramps.

  2. Venous Insufficiency: Difficulty in sending blood from the limbs back to the heart, leading to swelling, pain, and cramps.

  3. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs, causing pain and swelling.

  4. Raynaud's Disease: Affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, causing numbness and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress.

  5. Varicose Veins: Enlarged veins that can be painful and cause cramps.

  6. Diabetes: Can lead to poor circulation, especially in the extremities.

  7. Atherosclerosis: Build-up of substances in artery walls, restricting blood flow.

  8. Heart Conditions: Various conditions can affect overall blood circulation.

  9. Blood Clotting Disorders: Affect blood clotting and circulation.

  10. Septicemia (Blood Poisoning): Bacteria in the bloodstream can lead to sepsis and poor circulation.

  11. Endocarditis: Infection of the heart lining, affecting blood flow.

  12. Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers: Cause blood clotting issues and affect circulation.

  13. Bacterial Meningitis: Inflammation from infection impacting circulation.

  14. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea: Can lead to complications affecting circulation.

  15. Lyme Disease: Can cause heart complications affecting circulation.

  16. Rheumatic Fever: Affects the heart and circulation.

  17. HIV/AIDS: Weakens the immune system and can lead to circulatory complications.

  18. Polio: Poliovirus primarily affects the nervous system, leading to paralysis in severe cases. While it doesn't directly affect circulation, the resulting paralysis can indirectly impact blood flow, particularly in the limbs, due to reduced mobility.

    Various viral, bacterial, and other medical conditions that can affect blood circulation and lead to symptoms like stiffness and cramping. 

    Including Polio, there are various viral, bacterial, and other medical conditions that can affect blood circulation and lead to symptoms like stiffness and cramping. Here's a revised list that incorporates this additional consideration:

  19. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow, especially to the limbs, causing pain, stiffness, and cramps.

  20. Venous Insufficiency: Difficulty in sending blood from the limbs back to the heart, leading to swelling, pain, and cramps.

  21. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs, causing pain and swelling.

  22. Raynaud's Disease: Affects blood flow to certain parts of the body, causing numbness and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress.

  23. Varicose Veins: Enlarged veins that can be painful and cause cramps.

  24. Diabetes: Can lead to poor circulation, especially in the extremities.

  25. Atherosclerosis: Build-up of substances in artery walls, restricting blood flow.

  26. Heart Conditions: Various conditions can affect overall blood circulation.

  27. Blood Clotting Disorders: Affect blood clotting and circulation.

  28. Septicemia (Blood Poisoning): Bacteria in the bloodstream can lead to sepsis and poor circulation.

  29. Endocarditis: Infection of the heart lining, affecting blood flow.

  30. Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers: Cause blood clotting issues and affect circulation.

  31. Bacterial Meningitis: Inflammation from infection impacting circulation.

  32. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea: Can lead to complications affecting circulation.

  33. Lyme Disease: Can cause heart complications affecting circulation.

  34. Rheumatic Fever: Affects the heart and circulation.

  35. HIV/AIDS: Weakens the immune system and can lead to circulatory complications.

  36. Polio: Poliovirus primarily affects the nervous system, leading to paralysis in severe cases. While it doesn't directly affect circulation, the resulting paralysis can indirectly impact blood flow, particularly in the limbs, due to reduced mobility.

    Several viruses can affect the nervous system, causing a range of neurological symptoms and complications. Here are some notable examples:

  37. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV): HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. HSV-1 is more commonly associated with encephalitis, and it can lead to severe brain damage or death if not treated promptly.

  38. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV): This is the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. After initial infection (chickenpox), the virus can remain dormant in the body and reactivate later in life to cause shingles. It can lead to postherpetic neuralgia, a painful condition affecting nerve fibers.

  39. Rabies Virus: This virus causes rabies, a disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and is usually fatal once symptoms appear. It's typically transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.

  40. Enteroviruses (including Poliovirus): These viruses can cause a range of illnesses, from mild viral infections to serious conditions like poliomyelitis, which can result in paralysis.

  41. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): HIV can affect the nervous system, especially if left untreated. It can lead to neurological complications like neuropathy, cognitive impairments, and, in advanced stages, HIV-associated dementia.

  42. West Nile Virus: Typically spread by mosquitoes, this virus can cause West Nile encephalitis, meningitis, or poliomyelitis, leading to inflammation of the brain, spinal cord, or surrounding tissues.

  43. Japanese Encephalitis Virus: Spread by mosquitoes, this virus can cause Japanese encephalitis, a potentially serious inflammation of the brain.

  44. Zika Virus: Primarily spread by mosquitoes, it's been linked to neurological complications, particularly in fetuses and newborns, such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barrรฉ syndrome.

  45. Ebola Virus: Known for causing Ebola virus disease, it can also lead to neurological complications like encephalitis, meningitis, and seizures.

  46. Cytomegalovirus (CMV): In immunocompromised individuals, CMV can cause encephalitis, leading to severe neurological symptoms.

    These Viruses affect the nervous system can also cause muscle weakness. This muscle weakness can result from direct viral effects on the nervous system or as a secondary complication of the infection.

  47. Poliovirus: The most well-known virus causing muscle weakness, polio primarily attacks the nervous system, leading to paralysis and muscle weakness, which can be severe and permanent.

  48. West Nile Virus: This virus can cause neuroinvasive diseases like West Nile encephalitis, meningitis, or poliomyelitis, which can result in muscle weakness, paralysis, and other neurological symptoms.

  49. Enteroviruses (non-polio): Some enteroviruses, apart from the poliovirus, can cause conditions like acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), which is characterized by sudden onset of muscle weakness and paralysis.

  50. Guillain-Barrรฉ Syndrome (GBS) related Viruses: While GBS is an autoimmune condition, it is often triggered by infections, including those caused by viruses like Zika, Epstein-Barr (the virus responsible for mononucleosis), and Cytomegalovirus (CMV).

  51. Zika Virus: Apart from causing birth defects like microcephaly, Zika virus infection is also associated with Guillain-Barrรฉ syndrome in adults, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis.

  52. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): In some cases, HIV can lead to muscle weakness, either as a direct effect of the virus or as a complication of the infection.

  53. Influenza Virus: Severe cases of influenza can lead to complications such as myositis (muscle inflammation), leading to muscle weakness.

  54. Dengue Virus: Dengue fever can sometimes cause myalgia and muscle weakness, although these symptoms are typically less prominent compared to other manifestations like fever and joint pain.

  55. Rabies Virus: In its advanced stages, rabies can cause muscle weakness and paralysis.

Identifying Severe Skin Conditions Post-Vaccination Following administration of the BioNTech mRNA vaccine, a small subset of individuals may develop severe and complex reactions. These reactions are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood due to their rarity and diverse presentation. This essay examines a case characterized by severe skin conditions, systemic symptoms, and complications such as hypercalcemia and crystal formation. It highlights the need for accurate diagnosis, holistic management, and increased awareness of these rare but significant vaccine-related adverse events. Initial Symptoms and Misdiagnoses Severe symptoms began shortly after the first dose of the BioNTech vaccine, initially presenting as petechiae, diagnosed by a rheumatologist. However, following the second dose, symptoms rapidly escalated, resulting in intense burning pain and thinning of the skin. The skin on the legs and thighs became paper-thin and could tear with the slightest touch, with the affected area e...

The purpose of this article is to share and discuss the details of a new discovery, which is highlighted within: CRISPR-Cas9: A Breakthrough Tool to Repair the DYSF Gene The dysferlin protein plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of muscle cell membranes, particularly in tissues that endure significant mechanical stress, such as skeletal and cardiac muscles . Encoded by the DYSF gene , dysferlin is indispensable for repairing damaged cell membranes after injury caused by muscle contraction or external forces. This article explores the main locations where dysferlin is produced, its role in muscle repair, and supportive nutritional and therapeutic strategies for individuals with dysferlin deficiency, such as those affected by dysferlinopathies (e.g., Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2B or Miyoshi Myopathy). Currently, there is no definitive answer as to why the severity of dysferlin protein expression or depletion varies. Do pathogens play a role in the methylation o...

Is ME CFS connected to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) or Post Polio?

By SWA

Today, I understand why Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) received little attention, particularly in the mid-50s. This complex and debilitating genetic illness was poorly understood, and patients' symptoms were often minimized or even dismissed. For more information, please visit the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) page on MalaCards . Even now, many neurologists lack detailed knowledge of SMA, and comprehensive examinations mentioned in research are rarely pursued. In 2008, while investigating permanent adrenal insufficiency, an MRI ordered by my endocrinologist unexpectedly revealed Chiari Malformation II. However, surgery in 2009 brought no improvement. In 2010, a DNA test showed a genetic marker in the ACTN3 gene: https://www.malacards.org/search/results?q=ACTN3%20gene%20and%20Spinal%20Muscular%20Atrophy%20(SMA) A 2015 MRI revealed ankylosing spondylitis, multiple Tarlov cysts, stenosis at L4 and L5, spinal canal narrowing, and widespread degenerative changes. Surgery on L4 and L5 ...
