Ischemia-reperfusion Model of Acute Kidney Injury and Post Injury Fibrosis in Mice
Published on: August 9, 2013
Abstract:
Post-injury smell disorders.
Problems/Objectives:
Head trauma is the third most common aetioiogy of post-traumatic olfactory loss (PTOL). This literature review aims to report the existing knowledge surrounding this issue, exploring the current understanding of the inducing pathogenesis and the assessment and management standards from the early phases to longer-term considerations.
Methodology:
Literature search and appraisal in PubMed on the following themes directly associated with PTOL: olfactory disorders, trauma, pathogenesis, examination, recovery and treatment.
Results:
Scientific evidence was mainly available for epidemiology and exploration tools in cases suffering from PTOL. The current research into obj6ctive batteries of olfactory tests is promising.
Conclusions:
This paper highlights the importance of an adequate assessment of PTOL for an early start in olfactory training.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
