hypoplastic anemia Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia anemia ah - ne me - ah a condition in which there is reduced delivery of oxygen to the tissues ; it is not actually a disease but rather symptom of any numerous different disorders and other conditions . The World Health Organization has defined anemia as hemoglobin concentration below 7.5 mmol / L ( 12 g / dL ) in women and below 8.1 mmol / L ( 13 g / dL ) men . Peripheral blood smears from patient with megaloblastic ( left ) from normal subject ( right ) , both at the same magnification . The smear patient shows variation size shape erythrocytes presence macro - ovalocytes . From Goldman Bennett , 2000 . Some types are named for factors causing them : poor diet nutritional anemia ) , excessive blood loss hemorrhagic anemia ) , congenital defects hemoglobin hypochromic anemia exposure to industrial poisons , diseases bone marrow aplastic anemia hypoplastic anemia or any other disorder that upsets balance between loss through bleeding or destruction cells production cells . Anemias can also be classified according morphologic characteristics erythrocytes , such as size microcytic macrocytic normocytic anemias color concentration hypochromic anemia ) . A type called hypochromic microcytic anemia characterized by very small erythrocytes that have low hence poor coloration . Data used identify types include erythrocyte indices : ( 1 ) mean corpuscular volume ( MCV ) , average erythrocyte volume ; ( 2 ) mean corpuscular ( MCH ) , average amount per erythrocyte ; ( 3 ) ( MCHC ) , erythrocytes . adj . , adj ane mic . Symptoms Mild degrees often cause only slight vague symptoms , perhaps nothing more than easy fatigue lack energy . As condition progresses , more severe symptoms may be experienced , such shortness breath , pounding heart , rapid pulse ; these are caused by inability anemic supply body tissues with enough oxygen . Pallor , particularly palms hands , fingernails , conjunctiva ( the lining eyelids ) , may also indicate anemia . In very advanced cases , swelling ankles evidence heart failure appear . Common Causes Anemia Loss Blood ( Hemorrhagic Anemia ) : If there massive bleeding wound lesion , body lose enough cause severe acute anemia , which often accompanied shock . Immediate transfusions generally required replace lost blood . Chronic loss , excessive menstrual flow , slow an ulcer cancer gastrointestinal tract , lead anemia . These anemias disappear when has been found corrected . To help replenish itself , health care provider prescribe medicines containing iron , necessary build hemoglobin , foods high iron content , kidney navy beans , liver , spinach , whole wheat bread . Dietary Deficiencies Abnormalities Red Blood Cell Production ( Nutritional Anemia , Aplastic Anemia , Hypoplastic Anemia ) : Anemia develop if diet does not provide iron , protein , vitamin B 12 vitamins minerals needed production formation erythrocytes . combination chronic makes for particular susceptibility Anemias associated folic acid deficiency common . Excessive Destruction Red Cells ( hemolytic anemia ) : develop related hemolysis due trauma , chemical agents medications ( toxic hemolytic anemia ) , infectious disease , isoimmune hemolytic reactions , autoimmune disorders , paroxysmal hemoglobinurias Patient Care Assessment patients some form will depend some extent on specific type dyscrasia presented . In general , these patients do share common problems requiring special assessment skills interventions . can affect many different systems ( see table ) . Although pallor skin sign anemia , it most reliable sign ; many factors affect complexion skin color . Jaundice sclera occur result hemolysis release bilirubin into stream , where eventually finds its way into mucous membranes . ( See jaundice . ) Bleeding under bruises response slightest trauma present anemic leukemic patients . A bluish tint ( cyanosis ) indicate hypoxia due inadequate numbers oxygen - bearing Activity intolerance common problem Physical activity increases demand oxygen , but if circulating provide sufficient oxygen , become physically weak unable engage normal physical activity without experiencing profound fatigue .

hypothermia Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Wikipedia Hypothermia Definition Hypothermia , a potentially fatal condition , occurs when body temperature falls below 95 ° F ( 35 ° C ) . Description Although hypothermia is an obvious danger for people living in cold climates , many cases have occurred when the air temperature is well above the freezing mark . Elderly people , for instance , have succumbed to after prolonged exposure to indoor air temperatures of 50 - 65 ° F ( 10 - 18.3 ° C ) . In United States , primarily an urban phenomenon associated with alcoholism drug addiction mental illness , and cold — water immersion accidents . The victims are often homeless male alcoholics . Officially , 11,817 deaths were attributed in United States from 1979 1994 , but experts suspect that many fatal cases go unrecognized . Nearly half victims were 65 or older , with males dominating every age group . Nonwhites also overrepresented statistics . Among males 65 and older , nonwhites outnumbered whites by more than four one . Causes and symptoms Measured orally , a healthy person ' s body can fluctuate between 97 ° F ( 36.1 ° C ) 100 ° F ( 37.8 ° C ) . Survival depends on maintaining stability within this range by balancing heat produced metabolism heat lost environment through ( for most part ) skin lungs . When environmental or other changes cause loss outpace production , brain triggers physiological behavioral responses restore balance . The involuntary muscular activity of shivering , example , aids production accelerating metabolism . But if cold stress too great body ' s defenses are overwhelmed , begins fall . Hypothermia considered begin once reaches 95 ° F ( 35 ° C ) , though even smaller drops can adverse effect . divided into two types : primary secondary . Primary occurs body ' s heat - balancing mechanisms working properly but subjected extreme cold , whereas secondary affects people whose heat - balancing mechanisms impaired some way can not respond adequately moderate perhaps even mild cold . Primary typically involves exposure immersion water . variety usually takes at least several hours develop , will occur within about hour entering water , since water draws away from much faster than does . In secondary hypothermia , fail any number reasons , including strokes , diabetes , malnutrition bacterial infection , thyroid disease , spinal cord injuries ( which prevent brain receiving crucial temperature - related information other parts body ) , use medications substances that affect spinal cord . Alcohol one such substance . smaller amounts it put at risk interfering their ability recognize avoid cold - weather dangers . larger amounts it shuts down mechanisms . Secondary often threat elderly , who may be on medications suffering illnesses affect their ability conserve heat . Malnutrition immobility also put elderly risk . Some medical research suggests as well shivering blood vessel narrowing — two defenses against cold — may not be triggered as quickly older people . For these reasons , elderly can , over period days weeks , fall victim poorly insulated homes surroundings family , friends , caregivers may not recognize life threatening . Another risk fact easily misdiagnosed stroke some common illness old age . signs symptoms follow typical course , though temperatures which they occur vary person person depending age , health , factors . impact nervous system becomes apparent quite early . Coordination , instance , begin suffer soon reaches ( 35 ° C ) . early signs include pale skin intense shivering ; latter stops between 90 ° F ( 32.2 ° C ) 86 ° F ( 30 ° C ) . As continues fall , speech becomes slurred , muscles go rigid , victim disoriented experiences eyesight problems . Other harmful consequences include dehydration liver kidney failure . Heart rate , respiratory rate , blood pressure rise during first stages hypothermia , fall once 90 ° F ( 32.2 ° C ) mark passed . Below 86 ° F ( 30 ° C ) most comatose , below 82 ° F ( 27.8 ° C ) heart ' s rhythm dangerously disordered . Yet very low temperatures , survive several hours successfully revived , they appear dead . Diagnosis Information patient ' s prior health activities helps doctors establish correct diagnosis treatment plan . Pulse , pressure , temperature , respiration require immediate monitoring . Because mouth accurate guide core temperature , readings taken one two sites , usually ear , rectum , esophagus .

A computed tomography scan ( CT scan ) magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) needed check head injuries . Treatment Emergency medical help should summoned whenever appears hypothermic . danger intense shivering ; stiffness numbness arms legs ; stumbling clumsiness ; sleepiness , confusion , disorientation , amnesia irrational behavior ; difficulty speaking .

Anyone aids look frostbite aware attempting rewarm frostbitten area before emergency arrives extremely dangerous . For this reason , frostbitten areas must kept away sources campfires car heaters . Rewarming essence hospital treatment hypothermia . How rewarming proceeds depends temperature . Different approaches used patients mildly hypothermic ( the patient ' s 90 - 95 ° F [ 32.2 - 35 ° C ] ) , moderately hypothermic ( 86 - 90 ° F [ 30 - 32.2 ° C ] ) , severely ( less 86 [ 30 ° C ] ) . considerations , age condition heart , influence choices . Mild reversed passive rewarming . This technique relies own metabolism rewarm body . Once wet clothing removed dried , patient covered blankets placed room . goal raise 0.5 - 2 ° C hour . Moderate treated first active external rewarming then passive rewarming . Active external involves applying skin , instance placing patient bath wrapping electric heating blankets . Severe requires active internal rewarming , recommended moderate well .

immunity ( redirected from innate immunity , native immunity , natural immunity Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Encyclopedia immunity ĭ - mu nĭ - te the condition of being immune the protection against infectious disease conferred either by immune response generated by immunization or previous infection or other nonimmunologic factors . It encompasses capacity to distinguish foreign material from self and to neutralize , eliminate , metabolize that which is foreign nonself physiologic mechanisms of immune response The mechanisms are essentially concerned with body ' s ability recognize and dispose substances which it interprets as harmful its well - being . When such a substance enters body , complex chemical mechanical activities are set into motion defend protect body ' s cells tissues . The substance , usually a protein , is called an antigen that is , one generates production an antagonist . most common response antigen production antibody antigen - - antibody reaction essential component overall immune response . A second type activity , cellular response , also essential component . various complex basic ability protect itself against specific infectious agents parasites , accept reject cells tissues from other individuals , as in blood transfusions organ transplants , cancer , when system recognizes malignant not - self destroys them . There has been extensive research into differentiate between cells , organisms , substances self ( not alien body ) , those nonself therefore must be eliminated . A major motivating force behind these research efforts has been need for more information about growth proliferation malignant cells , inability certain individuals develop normal immunological responses ( as in immunodeficiency conditions ) , failure body recognize its own tissues ( as autoimmune diseases ) . Immunological Responses Immunological responses humans can be divided two broad categories : humoral immunity , takes place body fluids ( humors ) concerned with antibody complement activities ; cell - mediated cellular immunity , involves variety activities designed destroy at least contain recognized alien harmful . Both types instigated lymphocytes originate bone marrow stem later converted mature having specific properties functions . two kinds lymphocytes important establishment T ( T cells ) B ( B cells ) . ( See under lymphocyte . ) T lymphocytes differentiate thymus therefore called thymus - dependent . There several types involved cell - mediated delayed hypersensitivity , lymphokines , regulation response T B cells . B lymphocytes so named because they were first identified during studies involving immunologic activity bursa Fabricius , lymphoid organ chicken . ( Humans have no analogous organ . ) They mature plasma primarily responsible for forming antibodies , thereby providing humoral immunity . Humoral Immunity . At time substance enters interpreted foreign , antibodies released plasma enter fluids where they can react antigens were formed . This release antibodies stimulated antigen - specific groups ( clones ) B lymphocytes Each B lymphocyte IgM immunoglobulin receptors play major role capturing launching immunoglobulins ( which antibodies ) capable neutralizing destroying particular type antigen . Most activated presence their become then synthesize export antibodies . activated do not become continue reside “ memory ” lymphoid tissue , where stand ready future encounters antigens may enter body . It these memory provide continued after initial exposure antigens . response : primary secondary . primary begins immediately after initial contact antigen ; resulting appears 48 72 hours later . produced during this predominantly IgM class immunoglobulins . secondary occurs within 24 48 hours . This reaction produces large quantities immunoglobulins predominantly IgG class . secondary persists much longer than result repeated contact antigens . phenomenon basic principle underlying consecutive immunizations bind “ stick to ” renders it capable destroying number ways ; example , agglutination opsonization . Antibody also “ fixes ” activates complement second component system . Complement name given series enzymatic proteins present but inactive normal serum . When fixation takes place , antigen , antibody , bound together . cell membrane ( which usually bacterial cell ) then ruptures , resulting dissolution cell leakage fluids . destructive process lysis . Cellular Immunity . dependent upon T lymphocytes primarily delayed response . Examples this include rejection transplanted organs , defense slowly developing bacterial diseases result intracellular infections , hypersensitivity reactions , certain autoimmune diseases , some allergic reactions , recognition rejection undergoing alteration , example , those infected viruses , cancer have tumor - specific on their surfaces . These responses . T becomes sensitized first antigen . Subsequent exposure stimulates host chemical mechanical activities , all designed either destroy inactivate offending Some sensitized combine deactivate it , while others set about invading organism direct invasion release factors . These factors , through influence on macrophages unsensitized lymphocytes , enhance effectiveness Among more active factors lymphokines potent biologically active proteins ; names often descriptive functions : Ones directly affect macrophages macrophage chemotactic factor attracts invasion site ; migration inhibitory factor causes remain at site ; macrophage - activating stimulates metabolic large thereby improves ingest invaders . Another factor , protein interferon produced especially lymphocytes , following viral infection wide variety inducers , such nonviral agents synthetic polymers . portion population transformed killer lymphocyte - transforming blastogenic factor ) . produce lymphotoxin cytotoxin damages membranes antigens , causing them rupture . In order ensure ample supply factors work : lymphocyte - transforming already undergone conversion so increase numbers repeated division clone formation ; absence antigens , transfer over task sensitizing not exposed apparent brings intensive activity site invasion ; only pathogen destroyed , but invariably , there death damage some tissues . Interactions Between Two Systems . several areas systems interact improve efficiency overall For by - product enzymatic system acts chemotactic factor , attracting site . In another although required antibody , there optimal interaction between lymphocytes . For discussion abnormalities system , see Types Immunity An individual may naturally pathological conditions acquire through passive means . Natural genetic characteristic individual due particular species race one belongs , one ' s sex , one ' s produce bodies . All humans diseases affect animals lower species ; males resistant disorders than females , vice versa . Persons race susceptible another had successive generations . One ' s bodies , ward off pathogens , influenced state physical health , nutritional status , emotional stress . order acquire must stimulated own components ( active immunity ) persons animals passed person ( passive immunity ) . Active established ways : having disease receiving modified pathogens toxins . exposed pathogenic organisms body , initiated . After recovery illness , memory remain stand ready defense future invasion . possible , use vaccines , bacterins , modified toxins ( toxoids ) , stimulate without attack disease . artificial means immunity . Sometimes desirable provide “ ready - made ” bodies , cases patient already antigen , experiencing symptoms disease , needs reinforcements help mitigate harmful effects . Examples conditions given passive include tetanus , diphtheria , venomous snake bite . patient serum , contains gamma globulin ( including antitoxin ) animal serum was taken . always necessary actually suffer exhibit symptoms before provided . instances agent suspected , bodies ward off full - blown attack least lessen severity .

The pain is intermittent and goes away when the person rests . Description Claudication comes from Latin word that means " to limp , " and condition is characterized by intermittent in leg muscles . Poor circulation produces pain . The legs do not receive oxygen - rich blood supply needed for activities like walking exercising . decreased blood flow caused by narrowing of arteries bring to foot . produced claudication usually experienced as cramping thighs , calves , hips , feet . stops several minutes after rests , but returns performs activities use muscles . If untreated , claudication no longer occurs resting . People age 50 or older are at risk of claudication . risk increases with age . Statistically , 5 % men 2.5 % women experience symptoms this condition , according to Vascular Disease Foundation ( VDF ) . Many people with this condition have cholesterol plaque build - up leg ' s arteries . Smoking raises risk , as do high pressure , obesity lack exercise diabetes . Intermittent main symptom peripheral arterial disease ( PAD ) , which also known peripheral vascular disease occlusive arterial disease . an early symptom affects peripheral arteries , those vessels located outside heart . PAD caused arteriosclerosis , narrowing hardening arteries . Women diabetes are 7.6 times likely experience PAD those without diabetes , according American Diabetes Association ( ADA ) . Furthermore , related two three times increased coronary heart disease , stroke cardiac failure men diabetes , association . Causes & symptoms poor circulation experienced person ' s muscle groups . It affects arteries convey oxygen - rich from heart legs . A feels shortly after beginning exercise . Walking may trigger an inactive person . Activities such climbing stairs , rapidly dancing can cause increase . feels tightness calf , thigh , buttocks . stops rests for several minutes . However , it returns reaches exertion level previously produced pain . primary PAD , causing reduced flow oxygen tissues . If not treated , will find resting does relieve As become more clogged , could feel even Symptoms include cold numb feet toes , poor balance standing , drop strength , sores heal slowly , erectile dysfunction ( impotence ) . In advanced stages PAD , experiences resting . This condition , ischemic rest pain , characterized symptoms visible on feet toes . These include ulcers , loss hair , change red color suspended .

Diagnosis People experiencing should contact their doctor immediately . doctor will review patient ' s medical history examine signs condition . This examination includes checking lower pulse absence pulse behind knee , ankle , foot , groin . may order ankle - brachial index ( ABI ) test determine whether blocked . procedure verify if has provides information severity condition . ABI measures pressure arms ankle . Readings taken at rest exercising lightly treadmill . ABI index found dividing ankle pressure arm . An below 0.90 PAD . physician also order Doppler ultrasound exam measure through Cuffs placed four places each leg . then moves ultrasound probe over foot . probe detects signals artery . Testing can last 20 minutes hour . Costs vary location facility . In March 2005 , test was priced $ 45 $ 150 . Some facilities offered package tests around $ 200 . procedures usually covered medical insurance . Treatment Lifestyle changes primary form treating claudication . Physicians advise people quit smoking , exercise , follow American Heart Association ' s healthy diet guidelines . Diabetics need control sugar levels . patient need lower cholesterol levels . Those measurements should drop makes lifestyle changes . goal treatment stop development PAD .

iron metabolism Also found in : Encyclopedia iron metabolism a series of processes involved in the entry of iron into the body and its absorption , transport , storage , use in formation hemoglobin and other iron compounds , eventual excretion . Iron normally enters through intestinal mucosa is oxidized from ferrous to ferric process . The rate at which enters is modulated by this absorption mechanism . When stores are high , no longer passes through but trapped by mucosal cells intestine to be eliminated . Once blood , cycles between plasma reticuloendothelial or erythropoietic system . For hemoglobin synthesis , plasma delivered normoblast , where it remains up 4 months , functioning molecules a mature red cell . Senescent red cells then deteriorate . The released from reticuloendothelial system reenter transport pool for recycling . normal distribution 70 - kg adult ( male ) totals approximately 3.7 g , more than 65 % circulating hemoglobin . Another 27 % found storage pool as hemosiderin or ferritin . body normally conserves so well that loss , usually only feces , limited about 1 mg / day . This amount easily provided dietary intake only 10 mg / day .

lumpectomy ( redirected from lumpectomies Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Lumpectomy Definition A lumpectomy is a type of surgery used to treat breast cancer It is considered " breast - conserving " surgery because in a lumpectomy , only the malignant tumor and surrounding margin of normal breast tissue are removed . Lymph nodes in the armpit ( axilla ) also may be removed . This procedure called lymph node dissection . Purpose Lumpectomy surgical treatment for newly diagnosed breast cancer It estimated that at least 50 % women with cancer are good candidates for this procedure . The location , size , and type tumor primary importance when considering options . The size another factor surgeon considers when recommending surgery . patient ' s psychological outlook , as well as her lifestyle preferences , should also be taken into account treatment decisions made . extent severity evaluated or " staged " according to fairly complex system . Staging considers size whether has spread other areas , such chest wall lymph nodes , and / or distant parts body . Women with early stage cancers usually better candidates lumpectomy . In most cases , course radiation therapy after part treatment . Chemotherapy or antiestrogens may prescribed . Many studies have compared survival rates women who have had removal mastectomy those who undergone radiation therapy . data demonstrate that comparable stages cancer , survival rates similar between two groups , but risk recurring slightly higher lumpectomy . A 2003 study confirmed younger lumpectomies higher risk recurrence than those mastectomies . In some instances , later stage able Chemotherapy administered before decrease chance spread selected cases . Precautions number factors prevent prohibit patient from having itself too large located an area where it would difficult remove good cosmetic results . Sometimes several areas found one breast , so can not removed single lump . has already attached itself nearby structures , such skin chest wall , needs more extensive surgery . Certain medical physical circumstances eliminate option . Sometimes attempted , but surgeon unable remove sufficient amount normal tissue surrounding it . This termed " persistently positive margins , " " lack clear margins , " referring margin unaffected around tumor . not used had previous recurrence cancer . need radiation therapy after makes this medically unacceptable some women . For instance , therapy can not administered pregnant because it injure fetus . If , however , delivery would completed prior need radiation , pregnant undergo Women collagen vascular disease , lupus erythematosus scleroderma experience scarring damage their connective if exposed treatments . woman already therapeutic area other reasons additional exposure therapy . Some choose not reasons . They strongly fear cancer , consider too risky . Others feel uncomfortable living cancerous experience more peace mind entire barrier due non - medical concerns . Some simply fear choose extensive so will required . commitment time , usually five days week six weeks , acceptable others . due financial , personal , job - related constraints . Finally , geographically isolated areas , course require lengthy travel , perhaps unacceptable amounts time away from family responsibilities . Description an imprecise term . Any amount tissue , 1 % 50 % breast , removed called Breast conservation frequently - used synonym Partial mastectomy , quadrantectomy , segmental excision , wide excision , tylectomy names procedure . frequently done hospital setting ( especially if nodes at same time ) , specialized outpatient facilities sometimes preferred . done while patient under general anesthesia .

Typically , 10 15 removed , number vary . Surgical drains left place either location prevent fluid accumulation . last one three hours . stay hospital two days , return home same day . generally depends on extent medical condition patient , well physician preferences . woman goes home small bandage . inner part site dissolvable stitches . skin sutured stitched ; edges held together steristrips , which special thin , clear pieces tape .

multipennate muscle Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia muscle mus ' l a bundle of long slender cells muscle fibers that have the power to contract and hence to produce movement . Muscles are responsible for locomotion and play an important part in performing vital body functions . They also protect the contents of abdomen against injury help support body . See appendix 3 - 4 see color plates . Muscle fibers range in length from a few hundred thousandths centimeter several centimeters . They also vary shape , color from white deep red . Each fiber receives its own nerve impulses , so that fine varied motions are possible . Each has its small stored supply glycogen which it uses as fuel for energy . Muscles , especially heart , use free fatty acids as fuel . At signal an impulse traveling down nerve , muscle fiber changes chemical energy into mechanical energy , result is contraction . Some muscles attached bones by tendons Others attached other muscles , or skin ( producing smile , wink , other facial expressions , example ) . All or part walls hollow internal organs , such heart , stomach , intestines , blood vessels , composed muscles . The last stages swallowing peristalsis actually series contractions by muscles walls organs involved . Types Muscle There three types muscle : involuntary , voluntary , cardiac , composed respectively smooth , striated , mixed smooth striated tissue . Types structure muscle . From Dorland ' s , 2000 . Involuntary those not under control conscious brain ; they respond nerve impulses autonomic nervous system . include countless short - fibered , smooth , internal organs power digestive tract , pupils eyes , all involuntary mechanisms . Voluntary those controlled conscious brain , striated . These skeletal enable body move , there more than 600 them human body . Their grouped together sheaths cells . Groups bundled together into fascicles surrounded tough sheet connective tissue form group such biceps . Unlike involuntary muscles , which can remain state contraction long periods without tiring capable sustained rhythmic contractions , voluntary readily subject fatigue . Cardiac ( the heart ) third kind ; they consist striated different voluntary muscle . The contraction relaxation cardiac continues at rhythmic pace until death unless is injured some way . Voluntary extend one bone another , cause movements contraction , work on principle leverage . For every direct action made muscle , antagonistic can cause opposite movement . To flex arm , biceps contracts triceps relaxes ; extend arm , triceps contracts biceps relaxes . ( See heart . ) Physiology Muscles No stays completely relaxed , person conscious , it remains slightly contracted . This condition called tonus tone It keeps bones place enables posture be maintained . It allows person remain standing , sitting up straight , kneeling , any natural position . have elasticity . capable being stretched performing reflex actions . This made possible motor sensory nerves serve muscles . enable perform different types Those bend limb at joint , raising thigh bending elbow , called flexors Those straighten limb extensors Others , abductors make possible movement away midline body , whereas adductors permit movement toward midline . always act opposing groups .

Clinical manifestations range from subclinical to pleuritic chest pain , dyspnea , hemoptysis , and tachycardia . myocardial mi ″ o - kahr de - al pertaining muscular tissue heart ( the myocardium ) . ( MI ) death cells area heart muscle myocardium as a result oxygen deprivation , which in turn is caused by obstruction blood supply ; commonly referred as “ heart attack . ” The myocardium receives its supply from two large coronary arteries and their branches . Occlusion one or more these vessels coronary occlusion is one major causes infarction . The occlusion may result formation clot that develops suddenly when atheromatous plaque ruptures through sublayers vessel , or when narrow , roughened inner lining sclerosed artery leads complete thrombosis . Coronary artery disease most common type disease United States many other countries . risk rises rapidly with age , women tending develop 15 20 years later than men . Other causes MI may be attributed sudden increased unmet need for supply heart , shock , hemorrhage , severe physical exertion , restriction flow through aorta , aortic stenosis . Pathology common sites are left ventricle , that chamber which has greatest workload . Tissue changes occur are related extent cells have been deprived oxygen . Total deprivation results infarction , die becomes necrotic . Necrosis this evident within 5 6 hours after occlusion . In response this necrosis body increases its production leukocytes , aid removal dead cells . As collateral circulation enlarges , it brings fibroblasts , form connective scar within infarction . Usually , fibrous scar complete 2 3 months . Immediately surrounding less seriously damaged injury . It deteriorate thus extend or , with adequate collateral circulation , it regain function 2 3 weeks . outermost damage zone ischemia , borders injury . weakened decreased oxygen supply , but function can return usually two three weeks after onset occlusion . All pathological changes described above can be identified electrocardiography . information thus obtained used prescribe varying degrees physical activity allowed patient during convalescence . Risk Factors Unavoidable traits increase person ' s chances for coronary include genetic susceptibility , sex , increasing age , diabetes mellitus . Factors controlled some extent order ameliorate risk include hypertension , cigarette smoking , elevated serum lipids .

myositis Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Wikipedia Related to myositis : dermatomyositis polymyositis myositis ossificans Myositis Definition Myositis is a rare disease in which the muscle fibers and skin are inflamed and damaged , resulting in muscle weakness . There are several types of myositis that affect different parts of the body . Description The persistent inflammation that is associated with develops slowly over weeks to months often years , with progressive weakening muscles . Later course disease development wasting or shortening ( contracture ) may develop . can range severity from mild to debilitating . The forms include : Polymyositis ( PM ) inflames weakens muscles many parts body , especially those closest trunk . With polymyositis , dysphagia ( difficulty , discomfort or pain speaking swallowing ) , fatigue pain muscles common . PM rarely affects people under age 20 , peak onset between ages 30 60 . Dermatomyositis ( DM ) affects both fibers skin by damaging tiny blood vessels ( capillaries ) supply blood skin , resulting weakness , pain , fatigue . In addition affected person develops a distinctive patchy , reddish rash on eyelids , cheeks , bridge nose , back upper chest , elbows , knees , knuckles . There may also be hardened , tender bumps ( possibly caused by inflammation fat ) under skin . DM can occur at any age more common females than males . Inclusion Body ( IBM ) typically begins after 50 , characterized gradual weakening throughout body , including wrists fingers , development dysphagia , atrophy forearms and / or thigh muscles . Unlike other types myositis , IBM occurs more often men than women , also does not respond very well drug therapy . Juvenile ( JM ) involves weakness , rash , dysphagia children . A common characteristic JM formation calcium deposits ( calcinosis ) . These deposits hard sometimes painful lumps calcium appear on child ' s fingers , hands , elbows , knees . Painful sores appear if lumps break through skin . child suffer from contractures which shortening results joints staying bent . About half children JM will have their rare , affecting about 10 one million people each year . DM PM affect mostly women forties fifties but men children be affected , some at young ( between ages 5 15 ) . About 40,000 United States have this disease , about 3,000 5,000 affected . Causes and symptoms thought an autoimmune disease . body normally fights infections producing antibodies white cells called lymphocytes process called immune response . In an autoimmune disease , immune response overactive , system attacks destroys body ' s own normal healthy tissues . no known cause response results myositis . However , investigators studying whether triggered such environmental agents as organism causes toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma gondii Lyme disease organism , Borrelia burgdorferi coxsackievirus , food allergies Some cases IBM thought inherited . first symptoms most weakness hips shoulders . affected person trouble getting up chair , lifting arms above head , climbing stairs , too tired walk stand . mostly close within trunk while involves wider range make it difficult for speak swallow . When lungs chest muscles , difficulty breathing . If has DM , they develop characteristic rashes Other symptoms include fever joint swelling . first signs usually red patchy rash and / or red purplish eyelids cheeks look like allergies Weak develop same time as rash , days , weeks , months after appearance rash . Other include falling , weaker voice ( dysophonia ) , dysphagia . Calcinosis usually later during course disease . Diagnosis difficult diagnose , because it rare , because slowly , mistaken for other diseases causing weakness such limb - girdle muscular dystrophy Many cases go undiagnosed years . health care provider must rule out conditions hypothyroidism toxin exposure , drug reactions , genetic disorders physical examination will complete medical history focusing when they occurred , tests autoantibodies enzymes ( for example , creatine kinase ( CK ) , when present indicates damage ) . Specialized tests performed , including : electromyogram , measures electrical pattern biopsy , small piece removed , stained , examined microscopic techniques determine if damaged whether being infiltrated cells system magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) identify areas inflammation . Treatment no cure myositis . However , prompt aggressive treatment reduce prevent progressing . Because many different kinds wide reactions drugs , each person ' s treatment should individualized . Drugs used corticosteroids prednisone , reduce improve body ' s reaction infections . Corticosteroids taken form pills , but injected . amount creatine kinase ( CK ) levels monitored determine how well medicine working . Corticosteroids produce number side effects , weight gain , difficulties fighting infections , psychiatric changes , sleeping troubles , water retention , bone thinning , facial swelling , diabetes , cataracts Corticosteroid therapy leads improvement within two three months , dose lowered avoid side effects . If dose corticosteriods going reduced , essential lower over period time . Immunosuppressant drugs used slow down system ' s attack healthy tissue improve rashes . Persons prescribed these drugs control unable tolerate corticosteroids not accomplishing desired degree treatment . Immunosuppressant drugs conjunction so lower doses used . Immunosuppressant azathioprine , methotrexate , cyclosporine , tacrolimus , etanercept , mycophenolate mofetil . Intravenous immunoglobulin ( IVIg ) appears aid improving strength persons myositis , particularly those DM . It less effective PM , its role treating requires study , although has been shown help some patients diagnosed early . Immunoglobulins normal proteins attack anything foreign viruses bacteria . IVIg made donated plasma systems . Side effects use IVIg headache flu - like symptoms . Topical cream ointment forms medicines , prednisone tacrolimus , heal soothe associated DM . Non - steriodal anti - inflammatory ( NSAIDS ) aspirin ibuprofen relief . Calcinosis treated prednisone , plaquenil ( also hydroxychloroquine ) , intravenous immunoglobin ( IVIG ) , cyclosporine , methotrexate . After improvement , begins program regular stretching exercises maintain motion weakened arms legs . Physical therapy prevent permanent shortening . Whirlpool baths , heat , gentle massages provide relief . Adequate rest necessary , persons should take frequent breaks throughout day limit their activity . Patients throat problems evaluated speech therapist who evaluate swallowing - related problems make recommendations regarding diet changes safe swallowing techniques . Before woman becomes pregnant , she discuss medicines she taking her health care provider evaluate possible risks baby face does become pregnant . Many harmful fetus breastfed baby . It recommended doctor experienced assisted rheumatologist , dermatologist , neurologist , consulted . Oftentimes patient treated major medical center , where been seen before . Alternative treatment Various supplements conjunction traditional offset effects conventional treatment . use these suppplements approved primary provider . methotroxate cyclophosphamide increase risk infection , so well - balanced diet required . Methotroxate impairs ability absorb folic acid foods high folic acid , leafy green vegetables , fruits , folate - fortified breads cereals recommended . folate supplements recommended provider . Vitamins C E help infections calcinosis . multiple taken long periods time high doses . Calcium Vitamin D risk osteoporosis effect prednisone use . Hypertension fluid retention controlled low salt . Steroid - induced diabetes ( hyperglycemia ) aided low sugar simple carbohydrates . Proteinuria , body breaks down protein faster normal , mean protein included diet . Weight gain managed DASH ( Dietary Approach Stop Hypertension ) diet , fruits , vegetables , dietary fiber , low - fat dairy products . Information concerning this diet , developed National Institutes Health , found [ www . nhlbi . nih . gov / health / public / heart / hbp / dash / ] . Weight gain overtax weakened avoided possible . Prognosis progression varies person , lifespan significantly affected . responds favorably PM . Overall , patients do functional recovery . half recover discontinue 5 years beginning chances cure better adults , although do suffer relapse . Of remaining 50 % , 20 % still active require ongoing treatment , while up 30 % remaining weakness . disabling , most require assistive device cane , walker , wheel chair . older patient contracting IBM , rapidly progresses .

neuron Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Acronyms Encyclopedia Wikipedia Related to neuron : nervous system motor neuron sensory neuron neuron noor on a highly specialized cell of the nervous system having two characteristic properties : irritability ( ability to be stimulated ) and conductivity ( ability to conduct impulses ) . They are composed of a cell body ( called also neurosome or perikaryon ) , containing the nucleus and its surrounding cytoplasm , one or more processes nerve fibers extending from body . Called also nerve cell . adj . , adj neuro nal . The nerve fibers are actually extensions cytoplasm surrounding nucleus neuron . A may have only one such slender fiber extending from its body , in which case it is classified as unipolar . A having two processes is bipolar , with three more multipolar . Most neurons multipolar ; this type widely distributed throughout central nervous system autonomic ganglia . The multipolar neurons have single process called an axon several branched extensions called dendrites dendrites receive stimuli other nerves receptor organ , such as skin ear , transmit them through axon . axon conducts impulses dendrite another an effector organ that thereby stimulated action . Many covered with layer lipid material myelin sheath Peripheral thin outer covering neurilemma Types Neurons Neurons that receive stimuli outside environment transmit them toward brain afferent sensory neurons .

A biological battlefield : the potential applications of using remote sensing technology and biomarker organisms for identifying , tracking , and differentiating persons of interest within an area of operations This generates the corresponding direct or inverse Theoretical Modeling and experiments on the piezoelectric coefficient in cellular polymer films It is also known that when a drawn PLA film is laminated , the increases " the company says . New piezoelectric material is based on PLA The archaeal digoxin generated electromagnetic or plasma signal can get stored in electric dipoles of water consequent to cellular succussion generated by digoxin induced sodium potassium ATPase inhibition mediated Archaeal digoxin and creation of cellular plasma state - molecular / cellular electromagnetic signal transduction The used FEM tool analyzes this of the AlN layer through the stress relationships between the stress T , the strain S , electric field E , and electric displacement field D 3D FEM modeling and technology of piezoelectric ring MEMS antenna The FEM analysis of a cantilever beam deformation producing electrical voltages through a direct is described in the following ( Popovici et al , 2008 ) . Finite element analysis using piezoelectric transducers modeling The has a wide range of applications ranging from everyday items such as watches , motion sensors and precise positioning systems . Discovery on the dot The already finds wide applications in many devices , such as the ignition source for cigarette lighters and for igniting propane - barbecues through the push - start process , as well as in several types of scientific instruments . Pakistan : Column : The wondrous world of science Kistler Miniature quartz pressure sensor : Launch of the first miniature quartz pressure sensor by Kistler in 1959 , based on the Winterthur - - the place to be : with more than 100,000 inhabitants , Winterthur is Switzerland ' s sixth biggest city . In addition to its ideal location , attractive workplaces and excellent educational facilities , it has one thing first and foremost : quality of life . Winterthur offers a unique mix of urban interest and small - town charm The piezoelectrical effect is reversible in that materials exhibiting the direct ( the product of an electric potential when stress is applied ) also exhibit the reverse ( the production of stress and / or strain when an electric field is applied ) . Powering devices with vibrations : vibration energy harvesting is powering micro - circuits The boulder , which was allegedly accidentally damaged by workmen in the park some time in the past , has a streak of quartz running through it , and some think this element occasionally creates an aura of light around the rock through the , whilst others claim the halo of the Greenstone has its origins in the supernatural . The Greenstone Part Two ; TALES FROM THE PAST is used in one of two ways : applying a mechanical stress to piezoelectric materials produces an electrical charge ; or conversely , an applied electrical charge produces a mechanical strain or motion in a piezoelectric material .
