Symbiosis00:58

Symbiosis

27.7K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Anthelminthic Agents01:15

Anthelminthic Agents

102
Anthelmintic drugs differ significantly from antiparasitic therapies targeting protozoa, primarily due to differences in parasite biology. Whereas most protozoal treatments act on proliferating cells, anthelmintics are typically directed against mature, nonproliferative helminths. The therapeutic approach considers the helminth's reliance on neuromuscular coordination, glucose metabolism, and microtubular integrity for survival, reproduction, and localization within the host. Most anthelmintics...

Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

54
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

28
Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

1.7K
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Filarial worm infections rarely affect the breast.
  • Breast lumps with axillary lymphadenopathy are often suspected as breast carcinoma.

Observation:

  • An elderly female presented with a right breast lump and axillary lymphadenopathy.
  • Cytological examination revealed filarial mastitis, not malignancy.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with filarial mastitis.
  • Antihelmenthic therapy resulted in a significant clinical response within weeks.

Implications:

  • Filarial mastitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast masses, especially in endemic areas.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of filarial mastitis can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical interventions.
