Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.2K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Respiratory System Abnormal Finding I: Inspection and Percussion

829
Respiratory system abnormalities are a significant concern in healthcare due to their potential to indicate underlying severe conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and pneumonia. These abnormalities can often be detected through physical examination methods like inspection and percussion.
Inspection Findings
During an inspection, several findings may suggest the presence of respiratory distress or disease. Pursed-lip breathing, where exhalation is slowed by...

Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation

607
Auscultation, an essential part of a heart examination, is done using a stethoscope. It provides crucial information about heart function and possible heart problems. Due to heart problems, abnormal sounds can be heard during systole or diastole. These sounds include S3 and S4 gallops, opening snaps, systolic clicks, and murmurs.

Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

29.9K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

199
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ciliopathies are genetic disorders stemming from defects in cilia, microtubule-based cellular structures.
  • These disorders manifest with pathological changes in one or multiple organs, affecting various systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the key mechanisms underlying abnormal cilia formation and function.
  • To highlight the genetic basis and diverse clinical presentations of ciliopathies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of basic and clinical studies on ciliary proteins and their associated genetic defects.
  • Compilation of known ciliopathies, causative genes, and their clinical manifestations.

Main Results:

  • Identification of 187 genes linked to cilia dysfunction and ciliopathies.
  • Documentation of 35 distinct ciliopathies with a wide range of symptoms, including organ-specific pathologies and developmental abnormalities.

Conclusions:

  • Abnormal cilia formation and function are the primary causes of ciliopathies.
  • Ongoing research continues to identify new ciliary proteins and genes associated with these complex genetic diseases.
