urine and an absence of monoclonal gammopathy, this is indicative of Amyloidosis. A subcutaneous fat aspirate will be performed and sent to the pathology lab for confirmatory tests. A pathologist will review the abdominal fat biopsy and if the aspirate is negative, then an invasive biopsy of the suspected organ must be performed to confirm or exclude the disease. *If negative, the tissue biopsy will *The tissue will be stained with Congo Red. This will stain a type of protein called an…

This paper will touch on how normal cells become cancerous cells through the damaging of DNA. It will thoroughly explain the layers of the human skin. Then the paper will go in more details about a complex interaction of environmental (exogenous and endogenous), including genetic, risk factors in developing malignant melanoma. It will touch on the familial melanomas occur in a familial setting related to mutation of the CDKN2A gene as that encodes p16.4 The purpose of this project is to…

children, the condition is called gigantism. Bones tend to increase in size, effecting facial features, hands, and feet. The long bones will grow in width, but not in length because after puberty stops, the epiphyseal disks are closed. The subcutaneous tissue increases and stretches, causing a fleshy appearance. The pancreas is working harder to keep up with producing blood glucose to try and suppress the growth hormone secretions. (Williams & Hopper, 2015). Causes “The cause of acromegaly…

polymer glycogen. Insulin activates multiple liver enzymes, which are involved with glycogen synthesis. When the liver is sufficiently saturated with glycogen, the extra glucose is shunted elsewhere, in order to synthesize fatty acids for use in other tissues. Etiology of Diabetes Mellitus Type One The etiology of DMT1 is not entirely clear, however, it appears to be caused by an autoimmune disorder that may be genetic in origin. The assumed immune dysfunction is an attack by the immune system…

(OA), specifically, is a joint disorder that results form cartilage breakdown, as the processes that breakdown cartilage overcome the processes that reform it. The resulting surface of joints appears to be yellow, rough, and eburnated. Surrounding tissue becomes thickened with outgrowths, and edema…

Introduction Cancer is a disease whereby cells undergo changes that cause them to grow uncontrollably1. These changes are caused by gene mutations2. Genes are sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), contained within every cell2. Genes control which proteins are synthesised and which cells should be destroyed2. Each type of cancer is classified according to the site where the cancer initiated, i.e. the location of initial gene mutation3. Malignant melanoma is a skin cancer whereby the…

Introduction. The breast, also known as the mammary or modified sweat gland, is an organ located on both sides of the anterior thoracic region and for purpose of reference, referred to as the right and left breast. It is usually rudimentary in males, but in females, its enlargement could span between the second and sixth rib where it serves as the organ for lactation (Moore et al. 2013; Standring ed. 2015). Though the breast is seen as an organ on the anterior chest wall, a small proportion of…

ENDOCRINAL GLANDS Patients with anorexia nervosa have a number of abnormalities in endocrine function. Secretion rates of cortisol are generally elevated,and metabolic clearance rates are decreased, with the result that the half-life of cortisol may be prolonged in malnourished individuals. The clinical significance of this elevated cortisol level is unknown, but it may be involved with loss of bone density in anorexia nervosa(Lo Sauro et al., 2008). Alterations in growth hormone are also…

the largest performing organ in the body due to its three layered skin which all perform different tasks simultaneously. The epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer) are the two main top layers of the skin followed by the lower subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the main component of the skin because it contains millions of important cells called melanocytes (Gohara and Perez 1). These melanocytes produce melanin which provides the skin with pigment (skin color) that play an…

fleshy, oozing lesions. The infection continues destroying the tissue until treated. The lesions occur at the region of contact typically found on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the perineum. Rarely, the vaginal wall or cervix is the site of the lesion. The diagnosis is suspected with the patient's sexual history and on physical examination revealing a painless, "beefy-red ulcer" with a characteristic rolled edge of granulation tissue[3]. Diagnosis is made by direct visualization of the…
