Segmental biliary ectasia and congenital hepatic fibrosis in a patient with chromosomal abnormality
Pathology
|April 1, 1980
Abstract:
An unusal case of intrahepatic biliary ectasia and congenital hepatic fibrosis confined to one segment of the liver is described in a young woman who died from a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in the third trimester of pregnancy. The possible mechanisms for production of the severe portal hypertension in this patient and the association of an aneurysm in the splenic artery are discussed. The patients karyotype was 45, XX, -D, -D +t (13q 15q).

01:23Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
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, but...

01:17Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
