Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder01:26

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

1.4K
Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

524
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Mitral Stenosis I: Introduction01:22

Mitral Stenosis I: Introduction

83
Mitral Valve Stenosis (MVS) is a heart condition where the mitral valve narrows, impeding blood circulation from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are multifaceted, leading to a cascade of cardiovascular complications.Causes of Mitral Valve StenosisRheumatic Heart Disease: It is the main cause of mitral valve stenosis, particularly in developing nations. This condition arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory illness resulting from...

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

4.0K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Blinding01:11

Blinding

3.5K
Blinding is a commonly used method of not telling participants which treatment a subject is receiving. Blinding is a critical part of a randomized control trial or RCT. It reduces the bias that affects the results. In an RCT, blinding is used in the form of a placebo. A placebo effect occurs when untreated subjects falsely believe they have received the treatment and report improved symptoms. A placebo or a dummy treatment is administered to subjects to negate the bias caused by such an effect.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic imaging
  • Radiology of pediatric bone disorders

Background:

  • Blount disease, also known as tibia vara, is a developmental disorder affecting the proximal tibia.
  • Early diagnosis and assessment are critical for effective management.

Observation:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides detailed visualization of bone and soft tissues.
  • Assessing the growth plate and surrounding structures is key in pediatric orthopedic conditions.

Findings:

  • MRI enables precise evaluation of tibial deformity, including angular and rotational abnormalities.
  • The technique is valuable for assessing the viability of the tibial epiphysis and physis.

Implications:

  • MRI findings can guide surgical planning and treatment strategies for Blount disease.
  • This imaging modality aids in monitoring disease progression and treatment response.
