Ovarian teratoma is represented by mature, immature, monodermal. Teratoma based on histological type of tumor, all of which it contains mature/ immature tissues of germ cells (pleuripotent origin). Mature teratomas are classified as cystic, solid or monodermal. In mature teratomas – most commonly mature ectodermal elements like skin, hair, sweat and sebaceous glands are notified, whereas in Immature teratomas –show only solid mass tissues (1).Immature teratoma composed of mixture of…

index is organized by the type of condition and not by the body part in which the condition occurred (Valerius, Bayes, & Newby, 2012, p. 115). The Index of Diseases and injuries along with the Index of External Causes of Morbidity, the Table of Neoplasms, and the Table of Drugs and Chemicals are also included in the Alphabetic Index of ICD-10. To provide quality care for patients, a practice must have an accurate billing and coding system. If the medical coding…

Introduction Chemotherapy induced diarrhea (CID) is a relatively common side effect of cancer treatment, occurring as often as 50-80% of the time in patients undergoing chemotherapy (Stein, Voigt & Jordan, 2010). The effects of CID are physically, and emotionally debilitating and can be life threatening. Chemotherapy is toxic and through some understanding, appears to affect the gastrointestinal tract to excrete fluid and electrolytes at an alarming rate. Physically, the patient undergoes volume…

article “Evaluation of Dental Panoramic Radiographs”, the National Institutes of Health claims “Abnormalities such as root fragments, impacted teeth, neoplasms, and foreign bodies are often overlooked when they do not cause symptoms or clinical signs” (par.5). What the National Institute of Health means by fragments is broken parts of the tooth. Neoplasms is abnormal growth. Sometimes a patient may not feel anything at all and can have abnormalities that need to be checked out and possibly…

in literature. However, involvement of multiple organs with eosinophilia is rarely reported. Elevations in the levels of peripheral blood and tissue eosinophils can be seen in a multitude of disease processes that include infections, allergies, neoplasms, primary disorders of the hematologic system, and other less well defined disease processes. Eosinophilic pancreatitis is a rare cause of pancreatic eosinophilia, but other attributable causes of eosinophilic infiltratation also mention…

Hydrosalpinx represents fluid trapped in a distended fallopian tube with distal occlusion, and occurs in the setting of previous pelvic inflammatory disease. The appearance on grayscale ultrasound is of a tubular and elongated cystic mass with incomplete septations or indentations along its walls (“waist sign” or “cogwheel”)[18]. In order to fully appreciate the tubular structure of the cyst, the ultrasound probe may be turned by a 90° angle, and a seemingly simple cyst will appear to be tubular…

death). However, there are instances where a cell doesn’t recognize it has a defect or mutation and it starts to affect the shape of the cell. Once this mutated cell starts mitosis, it will regenerate a lot of undifferentiated cells, which turn into a neoplasm or tumor. Some tumors are benign and do not cause any problems, but other tumors can be malignant or cancerous. Malignant cancer can spread to surrounding tissues, metastasize, and become invasive. Some cancers exist from the environment…

all deaths in the US are contributed by these ten diseases. Heart disease ranks number one with 611,105 deaths. In the United States heart diseases accounts for 1 in every 4 deaths affecting more men than women (Nichols, 2015). Cancer (malignant neoplasms) is the second leading cause of death in the US with 584,881 deaths. Cancer affects people with every race, gender, ethnicity etc. Out of all the cancers, lung cancer accounts for more deaths in both men and women. One can prevent or catch…

Reading: “Sorry, Vegans: Brussels Sprouts Like to Live, Too.” 1. Animals and plants react in similar manners when they are faced with their own demise. When we think of communication we often neglect to include plants. Plants have a complex communication system however, it may differ from what you thought. Plants secrete chemicals that serve as their cry for help when being pursued by animals. These alarms attract both large predatory insects such as dragon flies, and tiny parasitic insects,…

A bat wing on a x-ray refers to a pattern that shows bilateral perihilar shadowing or consolidation. This happens when pulmonary pressures are high normally and these shadows can be caused by pulmonary edema, pneumonia, inhalation injury or leukemia (Bell,2017). Kerley B lines on an X-ray are a horizontal line that is less than two centimeters long, normally are seen in the lower periphery and are parallel to other ones at the right angles of the pleura. Most frequently they are seen from the PA…
