Chronic Inflammation: Introduction01:12

Chronic Inflammation: Introduction

22
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...

Classification of Leukocytes01:30

Classification of Leukocytes

8.9K
Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

2.4K
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Graves Disease II: Pathophysiology01:24

Graves Disease II: Pathophysiology

15
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) that activate TSH receptors, leading to excessive synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and resulting in hyperthyroidism.Among all causes of hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease is the most common and can happen at any age, though it is more frequent in women. It produces a hypermetabolic state with features such as weight loss, tachycardia, tremor,...

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

3.1K
Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...

Goiter01:27

Goiter

27
Goiter refers to an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland that may appear as a diffuse goiter (uniform enlargement) or nodular (single or multiple nodules). Functionally, it is classified as nontoxic (normal/low hormone levels) or toxic (excess hormone production).PathophysiologyDiffuse thyroid enlargement typically results from prolonged stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or TSH-like agents, commonly seen in hypothyroidism or iodine deficiency. In contrast, in hyperthyroid...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Foreign Body Detection

Background:

  • Foreign bodies frequently penetrate soft tissues via trauma, including lacerations and iatrogenic injuries.
  • Common traumatic foreign bodies include glass, metal, and wood fragments.
  • Prompt identification and removal are crucial for preventing complications.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old male presented with a one-month-old intraoral wound on his right upper cheek.
  • The patient had a history of a road traffic accident six months prior to presentation.
  • The wound was small and persistent, causing discomfort.

Findings:

  • Imaging or clinical examination revealed a retained foreign body within the cheek tissue.
  • The foreign body was identified as a fragment of wood.
  • The presence of the wooden foreign body explained the chronic wound and inflammation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for delayed complications from retained foreign bodies after trauma.
  • Thorough diagnostic workup, including imaging, is essential in cases of persistent wounds post-trauma.
  • Complete foreign body removal is necessary for effective wound healing and to prevent secondary infections.
