respiratory failure of airway obstruction and super vena cava syndrome because of the mediastinal tumor. A mediastinal tumor can either be benign or cancerous that grows in the mediastinum. This area contains the heart, aorta, esophagus, trachea and thymus and is surrounded by the breastbone at the front, the lungs on each side and the spine at the back. Some signs and symptoms of super vena cava syndrome are, headache, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, cough, systemic…

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE No person in this world born with particular desire to do something extraordinary. However, soon after his thought process is maturing, he just inclined over something spontaneously. I am also on the same trend hence, my thought process was quite dissipated till I get admitted department of pharmaceutical science at the University of Dhaka, best institution of Bangladesh. During my undergraduate studies, I gained the comprehensive understanding of chemical processes inside…

Adaptive immunity is specific for certain antigens, and it remembers antigens that it has encountered previously. Lymphatic tissue, specifically red bone marrow and the thymus, produces B and T cells. Both B and T cells play roles in the adaptive immune response. T cells can be either helper T cells (CD4 T cells) or cytotoxic T cells (CD8 T cells). CD4 T cells directly attack antigens in cell-mediated immunity whereas in…

The Russians lose contact with their craft after one day on the…

chemical is responsible for the psychoactive effects it has the human mind. It accomplishes this by activating the cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. The CB1 receptors are located in the brain and the CB2 are located in the eyes, also the tonsils and thymus glands. Theses receptors act like light bulbs, when electricity (cannabinoids) comes in contact with them they turn on, which gives you that famous…

When considering genetically modified (GM) organisms with the likes of its organic counterpart on a macroscopic view, there is almost no difference between the natural occurring organism and the GM organism. In contrast, the microscopic view, which takes into consideration factors like DNA sequences and other cellular components, provides subtle differences between genetically modified organisms and naturally occurring organisms. One subfield of GM organisms that gets constant recognition is…

adversely affected in terms of their secretion and function due to deficiency of zinc. Zinc deficiency also intensifies the apoptosis. It is also acting as an antioxidant and helps in the membrane stabilization. Deficiency of zinc leads to the atrophy of thymus and lymphoid…

consists of organs and cells that play important and very specific roles in order to achieve adequate protection. The main components include: Organs • Bone Marrow Produces all the cells of the immune system through a process called hematopoiesis. • Thymus Produces mature T cells through a process called thymic education. • Spleen Its primary role is to filter the blood of antigens. This is done by the macrophages and dendritic cells that capture the antigens. • Lymph Nodes Its primary role is…
