Epithelium

virology-online. It has two subtypes A and B with, it is believed that subtype A exhibits more severe episodes. The incubation period of the disease is typically three to eight days. The virus attacks syncytium, defined by biology-online.org as “an epithelium or tissue from characterized cytoplasmic continuity, or large mass of cytoplasm not separated into individual cells and containing many nuclei” RSV outbreaks occur around the globe, however, in the United States RSV typically peaks…

Synapses are the basic functional units in Central Nervous System (CNS). The synapses enable neuron-to-neuron communication via releasing and uptake of neurotransmitters. The synapse formation is modulated by specialized CNS cell type, glia. The glia modulates neuronal function via synapse formation, modification and elimination and, the glia even affects reorganization of neuronal circuit. Understanding cellular and molecular interactions of these glial cells is of great importance because they…

A “Request for Medical Evaluation” form will need to be filled out by the Clinician, signed by an Instructor, and faxed over to the attending physician to determine antibiotic to be administered, bleeding precautions, before any treatment may be rendered. (See Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimen before Dental Treatment, Table 1) Physician needs to address any health concerns of the patient and any interactions of drugs. (Little, page 362) Drugs that cause toxicity to the liver should be avoided,…

Introduction: Age related change is one of the most common causes of vision loss around the world, affecting between 30 to 50 million people worldwide. As suggestive of the name, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is most prevalent in adults over the age of 60. Of the cases of AMD, about 90 percent are dry AMD for which no effective treatment exists [1]. The retina is the nerve tissue lining the inside of the eye which begins the conversion of light into vision. The macula,…

Atrophic Vaginitis is a pervasive condition amongst postmenopausal women in which the vaginal epithelium begins to thin and atrophy. It is associated with mucosal dryness, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, vaginal discomfort, and an increased incidence of UTI and stress incontinence. There is a correlation between a decrease in circulating oestradiol during the menopause transition and Atrophic Vaginitis. This paper outlines the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as a non-hormonal…

Neurologic and retinal diseases There are many different types of degenerative neurological diseases. The brain is a complex system and this makes the use of stem cells difficult to differentiate to the right cell type. The myriad connection between nerve cells and the complex interdependency with macroglia, which is made up of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and glial progenitor cells create a problem with creating precise structural reconstitution with stem cells. Neurological diseases including…

Under normal physiological conditions, the function of the colon and the rectum is responsible for the very last phase of digestion. Water is absorbed from the digested material (mostly liquid at this point) by the colon to form stool. Subsequently, the dehydrated stool then moves into the rectum for storage until signals are sent for its expulsion from the anus (Silverthorn, 2012). When carcinomas occur in either the colon or the rectum, they are collectively labeled as colorectal cancer.…

Immunoglobulins are created by the immune system in order to defend the body from foreign substances. These are made of proteins and are often referred to as antibodies. There are five classes of immunoglobulins. These five classes are IgG, IgM, IgD, IgA, and IgE. These classes are distinct from each other by their properties and how they are involved with the immune response. These five classes can be further broken down into more specific subclasses as well. IgG represents approximately 15%…

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second major cause of cancer death worldwide. Early detection of gastric cancer by endoscopic surveillance is actively investigated to improve patient survival, particularly utilizing the newly developed magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy in the stomach. However, reviewing the endoscopic data is time consuming and obliges intense labor of profoundly experienced doctors.\\ In this work, we have proposed a method for detecting ulcer…

Blunt Trauma Wounds Outline Overview of blunt trauma wounds Types of blunt trauma wounds: Brief explanations of type and wound dating methods • Abrasions • Contusions • Lacerations • Fractures of the skeletal system Overview Wounds are injuries that result in skin breakage or any other body tissues. In this perspective, wounds may be classified based on the type of object that causes the wound. A blunt force may cause an open or closed wound. Blunt trauma or non-penetrating trauma refers to…
