Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

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...

Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Type I Diabetes I: Introduction

Type I Diabetes I: Introduction

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by an absolute deficiency of insulin resulting from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Although it can occur at any age, it is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. The loss of insulin production impairs cellular glucose uptake, resulting in persistent hyperglycemia and necessitating lifelong insulin therapy.Autoimmune Destruction of β-CellsThe hallmark of type 1...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Immunology

Background:

IgG/IgA pemphigus is an emerging autoimmune blistering disease.
It represents an overlap between pemphigus vulgaris/foliaceus and IgA pemphigus.
Association with internal malignancy has been suggested.

Observation:

Presents a unique case of IgG/IgA pemphigus.
Details clinical presentation, histopathology, and direct immunofluorescence findings.
Highlights the diagnostic features of this rare condition.

Findings:

Demonstrates characteristic clinical and histopathological features.
Confirms diagnosis through direct immunofluorescence.
Reinforces the potential association with internal malignancy.

Implications:

Enhances understanding of IgG/IgA pemphigus diagnosis and classification.
Suggests the importance of screening for internal malignancy in affected patients.
Contributes to the literature on autoimmune blistering diseases and their systemic associations.
