8. A patient sullering from infeCctious polyafthrilis, has been receIving prednisone for a long time as treatment. Prednisone is a structural analogue of cortisol. As the patient felt better, he deliberatcly stopped taking this drug. Soon the patient's state took a dramatical turn for the worse. Screening showed a decrease in the patient's blood glucose concentration, the blood pressure dropped, and the content of 17-ketosteroids in the urine was diminished. Why did the patient's state worsen after he quitted this drug? For the answer: d) substantiate the prednisone use to treat arthritis.

It treats a number of conditions including inflammation, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, skin and eye conditions, asthma, multiple sclerosis, blood or bone marrow disorders, different types of cancer (e.g. leukemia and lymphoma), and severe allergies. This medication is also administered to patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms to decrease mortality rates*.

II. Apatient cametoatherapist with complaintsofprogressive weakness, drowsiness, dizziness. Symptoms were intensifying during fasting that allowed the doctor to suggest hypoglycemia in the patient. Additional screening (glucose level was less than 2.5 mmol/A, C-peptide level significantly increased) confirmed the initial assumption. The patient does not suffer from diabetes and does not take sugar-lowering drugs. What possible cause of the disease can be assumed in the patient? What hormone seeretion is increased in such patient? What is the danger of hypoglycemia? What processes in the body prevents the hypoglycemia even during fasting in healthy person?
