Tissues01:18

Tissues

Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Tissues01:25

Tissues

Tissues are a group of cells that share a common embryonic origin. Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern to perform specific functions. From an evolutionary perspective, tissues appear in more complex organisms. Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is...
Healing II: Complications01:24

Healing II: Complications

Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
Tissue Membranes01:27

Tissue Membranes

A tissue membrane is a thin layer of cells that covers the outside of the body, the organs, internal passageways that lead to the exterior of the body, and the lining of the moveable joint cavities. There are two basic types of tissue membranes— connective tissue and epithelial membranes.
Connective Tissue Membranes
The connective tissue membrane is formed solely from connective tissue. These membranes encapsulate organs, such as the kidneys, and line our movable joints. A synovial membrane is...
Layers of Connective Tissue Proper01:21

Layers of Connective Tissue Proper

Fascia, a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue, is distributed throughout the body. It demarcates and forms a supportive covering over skeletal muscles, bones, blood vessels, and organs. There are three main types of facia— superficial fascia, deep fascia, and subserous fascia. These are all present at different depths in the body. Fascia reduces the friction and permits muscles, joints, and organs to easily slide against each other, facilitating movement of the body and preventing tearing...
Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • A 55-year-old male with a complex medical history presented with acute severe abdominal pain.
  • Symptoms included nausea, vomiting, and obstipation, with mild fever and abdominal tenderness but no peritonitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To diagnose the cause of acute abdominal pain in a patient with significant comorbidities.
  • To evaluate the utility of plain abdominal radiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical presentation and physical examination.
  • Routine laboratory investigations.
  • Plain abdominal radiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen.

Main Results:

  • Laboratory results were largely unremarkable, except for a decreased hemoglobin level.
  • Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and diffuse tenderness without peritonitis.

Conclusions:

  • Diagnostic imaging, particularly CT scans, is essential for identifying the cause of acute abdominal pain in complex cases.
  • The case highlights the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup in patients with severe abdominal symptoms and multiple comorbidities.
