Infection01:20

Infection

11.6K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

524
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

676
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Stages of Infection

64.7K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens01:31

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

2.6K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

Area of Science:

  • Neuropathology
  • Primate Models
  • Neurodegenerative Diseases

Background:

  • Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves beta-amyloid (βA) protein accumulation in brain vessels.
  • Existing animal models do not fully replicate CAA-related intracerebral hemorrhage.
  • A spontaneous case of CAA in a capuchin monkey brain was analyzed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate spontaneous cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in a capuchin monkey.
  • To evaluate the potential of this case as an animal model for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and CAA.

Main Methods:

  • High-resolution 7T MRI was used for imaging.
  • Immunohistochemistry was performed on brain sections using antibodies against βA, phospho-tau, TDP-43, and other markers.
  • Histological stains (H&E, Masson Trichrome, Perls) were applied to assess vascular changes and hemorrhage.

Main Results:

  • The monkey brain exhibited AD-type pathology (Braak V, CERAD B, Thal phase 3) and widespread βA deposits in meningeal and parenchymal vessels.
  • βA40 and βA42 isoforms were detected, with a predominance of βA40 in arterioles and capillaries.
  • MRI and histology revealed evidence of old intracerebral hemorrhage, microbleeds, and arteriolosclerosis.

Conclusions:

  • The capuchin monkey displayed pathological changes consistent with human AD and CAA.
  • The presence of neuroinflammation markers and specific βA isoforms supports its utility as a model for AD and CAA research.
