Alzheimer's Pathology

Protein misfolding diseases include highly debilitating degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The healthcare and financial burden linked to these pathologies has been steadily increasing over the past decade. Actually, there is currently no efficient treatment for misfolding diseases as well as no reliable early diagnostic techniques for them, in most cases. It is known that, in many cases, the cytotoxic effect of misfolded proteins is exerted through their self-assembly

Dolls, tea party sets and an occasional pink soccer ball. My years were spent in the Surgical Pathology suite goggling over various organ cancers with assorted Surgeons and my enthusiastic Mother. In fact, unlike most kids dreading to go to work with a parent, I thought it was an exciting experience. Around the age of twelve I realized that I was interested in the field of medicine. Namely Surgical Pathology. I decided to delve deeper and start to ask my mentor (My unconventional, eccentric, and

Summary Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an arthropod borne virus causing ruminant haemorrhagic disease (MacLachlan, Drew, Darpel & Worwa, 2009). Typical presentation includes fever, mucosal erosion, ulcerations, and coronitis (MacLachlan, Drew, Darpel & Worwa, 2009). BTV has 24 serotypes, many topotypes, and can rearrange its double-stranded RNA genome to further increase variability. In 2006 an epidemic of BTV serotype 8 (BTV-8) caused a surprising amount of foetal infection. Consequently, this study

The specimen is relatively rare with regard to other gynaecological pathology specimens, and is relatively complete, although there have been some modifications made through time for the safety of the human tissue. The specimen is significant for the interpretive potential that it holds, however it is limited by the lack of documented provenance, given that some of the information obtained is anecdotal oral history and cannot be verified through documentation. Within the last twenty years, the controversial

Fifty years ago doctors performed autopsies on roughly half the patients who died in hospital and today the number has dwindled to less than 10 percent. However, there is growing number of diagnostic errors and it’s contributing to some 10 percent of patient deaths. Therefore, an autopsy is necessary to reduce misdiagnoses and can be used as an initial step preventive action. The essay “Bring Back the Autopsy” by Sandeep Jauhar was mostly well-written because the flow of this essay was not correct

laboratory data. Therefore, accreditation of processes and competence of pathology laboratories is very significant particularly for benefit of patients. The UK was, along with Holland, the first European country to introduce a laboratory accreditation scheme for pathology (Barnes, 2014). Organisations, such as the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Clinical Pathology Accreditation (CPA) are crucial institutions in process of laboratory accreditation
