Clinical Information

• Acanthosis Nigricans

  a circumscribed melanosis consisting of a brown-pigmented, velvety verrucosity or fine papillomatosis appearing in the axillae and other body folds. it occurs in association with endocrine disorders, underlying malignancy, administration of certain drugs, or as in inherited disorder.

• Hypernatremia

  excessive amount of sodium in the blood. (dorland, 27th ed)

• Trismus

  spasmodic contraction of the masseter muscle resulting in forceful jaw closure. this may be seen with a variety of diseases, including tetanus, as a complication of radiation therapy, trauma, or in association with neoplastic conditions.

• Tetanus

  a disease caused by tetanospasmin, a powerful protein toxin produced by clostridium tetani. tetanus usually occurs after an acute injury, such as a puncture wound or laceration. generalized tetanus, the most common form, is characterized by tetanic muscular contractions and hyperreflexia. localized tetanus presents itself as a mild condition with manifestations restricted to muscles near the wound. it may progress to the generalized form.

• Acanthosis Nigricans

  a melanotic cutaneous lesion that develops in the axilla and other body folds. it may be idiopathic, drug-induced, or it may be associated with the presence of an endocrine disorder or malignancy.

• Hyperandrogenism, Insulin Resistance, Acanthosis Nigricans Syndrome|HAIR-AN Syndrome

  a condition characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and acanthosis nigricans, typically associated with obesity in teenage girls. it is considered to be a subtype of polycystic ovarian syndrome, but may occur in male individuals. etiology is unclear, but some cases may be associated with mutations affecting the tyrosine kinase domain of the insulin receptor.

• Insulin Resistant Diabetes Mellitus with Acanthosis Nigricans and Hyperandrogenism|Type A Insulin Resistance Syndrome

  a syndrome of insulin resistance caused by mutation(s) in the insr gene, encoding the insulin receptor. this condition is characterized by a clinical triad of hyperinsulinemia, acanthosis nigricans, and hyperandrogenism without lipodystrophy. this is the least severe of a spectrum of disorders; the other two conditions are rabson-mendenhall syndrome and donohoe syndrome.

• Grade 1 Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Grade 1 Hypernatremia

  >uln-150 mmol/l

• Grade 2 Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Grade 2 Hypernatremia

  >150-155 mmol/l; intervention initiated

• Grade 3 Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Grade 3 Hypernatremia

  >155-160 mmol/l; hospitalization indicated

• Grade 4 Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Grade 4 Hypernatremia

  >160 mmol/l; life-threatening consequences

• Grade 5 Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Grade 5 Hypernatremia

  death

• Hypernatremia

  higher than normal levels of sodium in the circulating blood.

• Hypernatremia, CTCAE|Hypernatremia|Hypernatremia

  a disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate an elevation in the concentration of sodium in the blood.

• Grade 1 Trismus, CTCAE|CTCAE Grade 1 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)|Grade 1 Trismus|Grade 1 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)

  decreased rom (range of motion) without impaired eating

• Grade 2 Trismus, CTCAE|CTCAE Grade 2 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)|Grade 2 Trismus|Grade 2 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)

  decreased rom requiring small bites, soft foods or purees

• Grade 3 Trismus, CTCAE|CTCAE Grade 3 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)|Grade 3 Trismus|Grade 3 Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)

  decreased rom with inability to adequately aliment or hydrate orally

• Trismus

  lack of ability to open the mouth fully due to decreased range of motion of the muscles of mastication. it may be a symptom of tetanus.

• Trismus, CTCAE|Trismus|Trismus|Trismus (difficulty, restriction or pain when opening mouth)

  a disorder characterized by lack of ability to open the mouth fully due to a decrease in the range of motion of the muscles of mastication.

Patient Education

Muscle Cramps

What are muscle cramps?

Muscle cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions or spasms in one or more of your muscles. They are very common and often occur after exercise. Some people get muscle cramps, especially leg cramps, at night. They can be painful, and they may last a few seconds to several minutes.

You can have a cramp in any muscle, but they happen most often in the:

• Thighs
• Feet
• Hands
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Area along your ribcage

What causes muscle cramps?

Causes of muscle cramps include:

• Straining or overusing a muscle. This is the most common cause.
• Compression of your nerves, from problems such as a spinal cord injury or a pinched nerve in the neck or back
• Dehydration
• Low levels of electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium, or calcium
• Not enough blood getting to your muscles
• Pregnancy
• Certain medicines
• Getting dialysis

Sometimes the cause of muscle cramps is unknown.

Who is at risk for muscle cramps?

Anyone can get muscle cramps, but they are more common in some people:

• Older adults
• People who are overweight
• Athletes
• Pregnant women
• People with certain medical conditions, such as thyroid and nerve disorders

When do I need to see a health care provider for muscle cramps?

Muscle cramps are usually harmless, and they go away after a few minutes. But you should contact your health care provider if the cramps:

• Are severe
• Happen frequently
• Don't get better with stretching and drinking enough fluids
• Last a long time
• Are accompanied by swelling, redness, or a feeling of warmth
• Are accompanied by muscle weakness

What are the treatments for muscle cramps?

You usually don't need treatment for muscle cramps. You may be able to find some relief from cramps by:

• Stretching or gently massaging the muscle
• Applying heat when the muscle is tight and ice when the muscle is sore
• Getting more fluids if you are dehydrated

If another medical problem is causing the cramps, treating that problem will likely help. There are medicines that providers sometimes prescribe to prevent cramps, but they are not always effective and may cause side effects. Talk to your provider about the risks and benefits of medicines.

Can muscle cramps be prevented?

To prevent muscle cramps, you can:

• Stretch your muscles, especially before exercising. If you often get leg cramps at night, stretch your leg muscles before bed.
• Drink plenty of liquids. If you do intense exercise or exercise in the heat, sports drinks can help you replace electrolytes.
