Increased Body Temperature

6.2K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Leaky Scanning

5.5K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA.  Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Influenza A and B infections cause significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Complications range from respiratory issues to severe cardiac and neurological conditions.
  • Understanding influenza pathophysiology is crucial for managing severe cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of influenza virus pathophysiology.
  • To review major severe respiratory and non-respiratory complications.
  • To discuss current treatment options, including indications and limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of influenza pathophysiology.
  • Analysis of reported severe influenza complications.
  • Review of treatment guidelines and clinical data.

Main Results:

  • Influenza pneumonia and secondary bacterial/fungal pneumonias are common respiratory complications.
  • Non-respiratory complications include myocarditis, myocardial infarction, stroke, encephalitis, and Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
  • Effective antiviral treatments exist but require timely administration.

Conclusions:

  • Influenza infections pose a serious health risk due to potential severe complications.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for improving patient outcomes.
  • Further research into novel therapeutic strategies is warranted.
