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...

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Crohn's Disease

29
Crohn’s disease is a chronic, relapsing form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by segmental, transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Its pathogenesis arises from a combination of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. Together, these factors lead to an exaggerated immune response against components of the gut microbiome.Genetic and Environmental InfluencesMultiple genetic...

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...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease III: Chronic Bronchitis Features

29
Chronic bronchitis is a key phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by airway-centered inflammation and mucus overproduction. It develops from long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases, most commonly cigarette smoke, which triggers a persistent inflammatory response.Cellular and Structural ChangesInflammation initially affects the large bronchi and later the smaller airways, with infiltration by immune cells, including neutrophils, macrophages, and...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Immunology
  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease.
  • It is characterized by chronic, episodic inflammation, particularly affecting cartilaginous and proteoglycan-rich tissues.
  • The etiology of RP remains unknown, with limited data on non-Caucasian populations.

Observation:

  • This paper details a case of Relapsing Polychondritis in a non-Caucasian patient.
  • The patient was monitored using radiological methods from the disease's early stages through to its terminal phases.
  • Radiology plays a crucial role in supporting the diagnosis of RP.

Findings:

  • The study presents the radiological progression of Relapsing Polychondritis in a non-Caucasian individual.
  • It illustrates the diagnostic utility of imaging in tracking the disease course.
  • This case contributes to the scarce data available for non-Caucasian patients with RP.

Implications:

  • This case report may improve understanding of Relapsing Polychondritis in diverse ethnic groups.
  • It underscores the importance of radiological surveillance in managing RP.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology and ethnic variations of this rare disease.
