Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

7.1K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

989
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Endocarditis I: Introduction01:25

Endocarditis I: Introduction

651
Introduction:Endocarditis is the infection of the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart and its valves. When the heart muscle is involved, the condition is termed myocarditis, while an infection of the outer lining is called pericarditis. Infective endocarditis (IE) primarily affects the endocardium, where pathogens adhere to the valves or lining, forming vegetation that can lead to severe complications. Infective endocarditis occurs when microorganisms, usually bacteria from other body...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

6.3K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction01:27

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

973
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants.
  • Despite extensive research over 50 years, the exact pathophysiology of NEC is not fully understood.
  • Understanding NEC's etiology is crucial for developing effective preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Observation:

  • This report reviews historical perspectives on potential etiologic factors of NEC.
  • It highlights the critical role of human milk in preventing NEC.
  • The review examines the importance of intestinal blood flow and its developmental changes in NEC pathogenesis.

Findings:

  • Human milk provides essential protective factors against NEC.
  • Altered intestinal blood flow and developmental immaturity are key contributors to NEC.
  • A multifactorial etiology involving prematurity, feeding, and circulatory factors is suggested.

Implications:

  • Further research into the protective mechanisms of human milk is warranted.
  • Strategies to optimize intestinal blood flow in premature infants may reduce NEC incidence.
  • A comprehensive understanding of NEC's pathophysiology can guide clinical practice and improve infant outcomes.
