Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a rare systemic condition that affects renal functioning and can develop into a life threatening disease with lasting complications.

procedure performed. Out of the procedures, two-third is traumatic, while the remaining one-third is idiopathic. The medial is semicircular and lateral is a complete circle. The meniscus is made out of fibrocartilage, type I. Blood supply depends on the capillary as one-third of the ring is avascular, also known as the part that can heal. The function of the meniscus is to load absorption and serve as a shock absorber when pressure is applied across the knee. If the meniscus was taken away, the…

Carbohydrate digestion involves the conversion of polysaccharides and disaccharides into their relevant components of monosaccharides. Digestion begins in the mouth, where chewing and biting breaks down carbohydrates physically and chemically. The enzyme salivary amylase combines with food. When the food enters the stomach hydrochloric acid present causes hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. The food passes to the duodenum where pancreatic amylase is secreted and has optimum PH, so…

Synopsis: Acute Post-streptococcal Glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the consequence of an antigen-antibody reaction where insoluble immune complexes develop and become trapped in glomerular tissue producing swelling and death of capillary cells. APSGN can happen at any age, yet, it is most common in children between the ages of three and seven; and affects more boys. than girls.
