Chronic Inflammation: Introduction01:12

Chronic Inflammation: Introduction

41
Chronic inflammation is a prolonged, dysregulated immune response that persists for weeks to years when the inciting stimulus is difficult to eradicate or when self‑antigens drive ongoing reactivity. Morphologically, it is defined by mononuclear cell infiltration, progressive tissue destruction, and concurrent attempts at healing via angiogenesis and fibrosis. Compared with acute inflammation, edema is less prominent while cellular infiltration predominates; triggers include persistent...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

12.6K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions

269
Type III hypersensitivity reactions occur when antigen–antibody complexes form and activate the complement system. Normally, these complexes help the clearance of antigens by phagocytes and red blood cells. However, when large numbers of immune complexes are present, they can deposit in tissues—particularly in the walls of blood vessels—leading to inflammation and tissue injury. These deposits trigger complement activation and neutrophil recruitment, resulting in serum...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction01:23

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

1.0K
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

1.9K
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Encephalitis l: Introduction01:19

Encephalitis l: Introduction

15
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can present with headaches and inflammation. Color-duplex ultrasonography effectively visualizes temporal artery changes typical of GCA.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis affecting large and medium arteries.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications such as vision loss.

Observation:

  • An 81-year-old male presented with headaches and malaise.
  • Laboratory analysis revealed a significant inflammatory syndrome.
  • Symptoms responded well to corticosteroid therapy.

Findings:

  • Color-duplex ultrasonography (CDU) of the temporal arteries demonstrated characteristic imaging features of GCA.
  • High-frequency ultrasound probe provided detailed visualization of the affected arteries.

Implications:

  • CDU is a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing GCA.
  • Ultrasonographic findings can confirm the clinical suspicion of GCA.
  • This case highlights the typical presentation and diagnostic approach to GCA.
