Classification of Leukocytes01:30

Classification of Leukocytes

6.5K
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...

Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description

The pleura is a vital part of the respiratory system. It's a double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The two layers of the pleura are:

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

8.3K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

1.8K
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...

Pleural Effusion I: Introduction

4.9K
Pleural effusion is an abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, a narrow space between the lungs and the chest wall. It is not a disease per se but rather a symptom or indication of an underlying disease. In normal circumstances, this space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), a lubricant facilitating the non-frictional movement of the pleural surfaces.
There are two main types of pleural effusion: transudative and exudative. They are differentiated using Light's...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms originating from Schwann cells.
  • These tumors arise from tissues with neural crest and mesenchymal origins.
  • GCTs can occur in various body locations, though pleural involvement is rare.

Observation:

  • A case of a pleural-based granular cell tumor is presented.
  • The patient was a 60-year-old African American man.
  • Clinical, radiographic, and pathological data were collected.

Findings:

  • Detailed clinical presentation of the patient.
  • Radiographic imaging characteristics of the pleural tumor.
  • Pathological examination confirming the diagnosis of granular cell tumor.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for GCTs to occur in the pleura.
  • Contributes to the understanding of rare tumor presentations.
  • Informs diagnostic and management strategies for pleural neoplasms.
