Abstract

This case report explores the complex interplay of knee osteoarthritis (OA), diabetic neuropathy, andmetabolic syndrome in a 73-year-old male, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management from a family medicine perspective. The coexistence of these conditions requires a holistic, patient-centered approach focusing on pain management, lifestyle modification, and family involvement to improve adherence and outcomes. This study highlights the importance of early detection andcomprehensive care to prevent severe complications, improve quality of life, and address the limitationsposed by OA on physical activity necessary for metabolic control.

Abstract

Background: The co-occurrence of cataract, obesity, and hypertension represents a complex challengein primary care, requiring a holistic management approach. This case examines a patient with theseinterrelated conditions and significant behavioral risk factors. Objective: To describe thecomprehensive management of a patient with mature cataract, Class II Obesity, and Grade 2Hypertension using a family medicine approach. Case: A 52-year-old male presented with progressivevision loss in his right eye over two years. Examination revealed mature cataract (OD vision 3/60),obesity (BMI 33.46 kg/m2), and hypertension (BP 164/94 mmHg). Risk factors included smoking,unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and family history of hypertension. Management: Interventionsincluded surgical referral for cataract, dual antihypertensive therapy (amlodipine and lisinopril), andlifestyle modification for obesity. Family assessment revealed high functionality (APGAR score 10).Results: Cataract surgery improved visual acuity to 6/24. However, hypertension remaineduncontrolled (176/116 mmHg) at follow-up, while obesity management showed limited progress. Thefamily provided strong support throughout care. Conclusion: While targeted specialist interventionsuccessfully addressed the cataract, the persistence of uncontrolled hypertension and obesityunderscores the need for sustained, integrated management of multiple chronic conditions in primarycare, emphasizing continuous lifestyle modification and medication adherence.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are chronic conditions that often coexist and mutually worsen clinicaloutcomes. We report a 52-year-old widowed female, a beverage vendor, with a three-month history of productive cough, weightloss, and night sweats, and a 25-year history of poorly controlled T2DM. Random blood glucose ranged from 200–539 mg/dL, andGeneXpert MTB/RIF confirmed pulmonary TB. Psychosocial assessment revealed strong family support, though SCREEMidentified limitations in social, economic, and educational domains. Environmental risks included overcrowded housing, poorventilation, and daily smoke exposure. Management consisted of first-line anti-tuberculosis therapy (RHZE), oral hypoglycemicagents (metformin, glibenclamide), lifestyle counseling, sleep hygiene, and environmental modification, with her son serving as atreatment supporter. Two home visits reinforced adherence and lifestyle changes, though glycemic control remained suboptimal.This case demonstrates that a comprehensive family medicine approach integrating biomedical treatment, family engagement, andcontextual lifestyle interventions is essential for effective management of TB-DM comorbidity.

Abstract

Low back pain, osteoarthritis, and hypertension are common chronic conditions that frequentlycoexist and significantly reduce patients’ quality of life, particularly among women whose dailyactivities involve repetitive, ergonomically unfavorable tasks and poor lifestyle habits, compoundedby genetic predisposition. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented with persistentlow back pain and knee joint pain for two weeks, which worsened in the last five days, in addition tohaving been diagnosed with hypertension two months earlier; physical examination revealed lumbarparaspinal tenderness, bilateral knee crepitus, and blood pressure of 144/90 mmHg, while laboratoryevaluation showed normal uric acid levels, and further assessment identified multiple risk factorsincluding overweight status, poor ergonomic posture during household chores, high sodium andcarbohydrate intake, and maternal history of hypertension. A holistic diagnosis was establishedconsisting of low back pain (M54.4), osteoarthritis of the knee (M17), and essential hypertensionstage 1 (I10), and management combined pharmacological therapy with diclofenac,glucosamine-chondroitin, and amlodipine alongside non-pharmacological interventions such asergonomic correction, structured exercise, dietary modification with the DASH diet, and familyinvolvement in reducing workload and supporting lifestyle changes. This case illustrates theimportance of comprehensive family medicine approaches that integrate biomedical, behavioral,social, and genetic aspects to improve patient outcomes and prevent complications.

A 76-year-old womanpresented with shoulder pain and restricted motion. She had type 2 DM with neuropathy and long-standing HT, with a family history of cardiovascular disease. Examination showed marked limitationof active and passive shoulder movement, consistent with the frozen stage of adhesive capsulitis. Thepatient received NSAIDs and physiotherapy, along with caregiver education on exercises, routinefamily screening for DM and HT, and reinforcement of self-care. Community interventions includedgroup exercise promotion, free health screenings, and counseling on chronic disease management.This case highlights the value of comprehensive management for adhesive capsulitis in elderlypatients, emphasizing family- and community-based interventions to improve adherence, preventcomplications, and maintain quality of life.
