Introduction: Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis is a malignancy caused by uncontrolled proliferation of the Langheran’s cell line with associated granulomatous deposition. The disease exists in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from localized skin manifestation to diffuse disease with neurological involvement. Typically, diabetes insipidus occurs when the hypothalamic-pituitary axis is affected by histiocytic infiltration. Langheran’s cell histiocytosis can be confirmed by…

This is a recommendation for investment in Project Andiamo, a London based company that creates custom orthotics that helps kids with disabilities. The company aims at helping these kids with life changing improvement to posture & mobility using the emerging 3D printing technology. What make this 3D printed orthotics different from the traditional braces are, its accuracy and the time it takes to make a brace. The drawbacks however are: 1) The technical challenges associated with a introducing…

atherosclerotic plaques, especially vulnerable (lipid-laden) plaques, a plaque disruption can occur, which exposes substances that promote platelet activation and aggregation, thrombin generation and ultimately thrombus formation [5]. This thrombus interrupts blood flow and can result in a severe disproportion between oxygen supply and demand and - if this imbalance is persistent – consequently myocardial necrosis. Myocardial infarction (MI) can be transmural and subendocardial (nontransmural).…

affects 200,000 people every year in the US alone. The Mitral valve is a key site of failure due to its location between the left atrium and left ventricle, it prevents the backflow of oxygenated blood into the atrium during ventricular systole and constantly experiences high pressures. MR is the backflow of blood into the atrium and pulmonary veins due to the partial or complete mitral valve failure. This failure is rated on a scale from 0 to 4, 4 being severe. MR can cause increased pressure…

that is in charge of regulating blood throughout the body. The main job of the cardiovascular systems are transportation of blood which allows the body to receive oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while disposing of wastes. The second job of the cardiovascular system is protection via the white blood cells. White blood cells clean up cellular debris and fight pathogens that have entered the body. The cardio vascular system will also offer protection through the blood carrying antibodies of…

multiple factors that contribute to the build-up of plaque in the vessels and in turn, the development of atherosclerosis (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p327). The disease attacks different arteries in the body, but the most harmful conditions involve damages to the vessels of the brain and the heart (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p329). Understanding of the structures and mechanisms that take place in the heart and the brain to allow for blood distribution is a critical component for anyone trying to…

waste products and permits blood to circulate and form cells in the body to nourish it with every heartbeat throughout the body.However, the Cardiovascular system is composed of the following organs, heart and blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. One of the major structures of this system is the heart which functions to propel blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. For example, the right side of the heart pumps blood through the…

The left side of the heart takes in oxygen rich blood, the the valves prevents back flow of blood to the heart. 2. What is the function of the right side of the heart? the function of the right side of the heart is to pump deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs. 3. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart? out of the right side of the heart? The major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart are the right…

the heart, blood vessels, blood and the lungs: Figure 1: circulatory system 1. The Heart It is located slightly to the left of the middle of the chest, the heart is made of strong muscle tissue and protected by rib cage. It consists of four chambers that are hollow, that are two ventricles and two atria. The blood that moves towards…
