Abstract:
Norrie's disease is an X-linked disease presenting bilateral blindness at birth or during the first few months of life. A white retrolental membrane is seen initially, later the eyes usually become phthisic. Dementia or psychosis appears in about 25% and sensory hearing loss present in 1/5 or 1/4 of the blind males. Carriers are clinically unaffected. The main differential diagnoses comprise retinoblastoma, retrolental fibroplasia, toxoplasmosis, falciform detachment, juvenile retinoschisis, sex-linked microphthalmia, sex-linked cataract and congenital retinal detachment.

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder
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 related to...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
