proportions. Since 1980, asthma has increased in prevalence by more than 75%, and children appear to be disproportionately affected1. Allergic asthma is an IgE-mediated disorder characterized by airway obstruction and inflammation, infiltration of immune cells (especially eosinophils), airway hyper-responsiveness and mucus overproduction. Common symptoms of allergic asthma include coughing, wheezing, and dypsnea. Allergic asthma has been linked to genetic and environmental factors, and its prevalence is

Exam Case Scenario Pathophysiology of Asthma Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by episodes in which the bronchioles constrict due to oversensitivity. In asthma, the airways (bronchioles) constrict making it difficult to get air in or out of the lungs. Breathlessness is the main symptom. The bronchi and bronchioles become inflamed and constricted. Asthmatics usually react to triggers. Triggers are substances and situations that would not normally trouble an asthma free person. Asthma

evidence suggests cell-to-cell communication is possible through extracellular RNAs (exRNAs). RNA (including mRNA, miRNA, or lincRNA) has, on many accounts, been found packaged inside extracellular vesicles (EVs) which may traverse through a variety of bodily fluids to be taken up by a recipient cell. The biological significance of exRNAs is largely unknown. However, preliminary studies suggest they may play a role in a variety of important biological processes, including stem cell maintenance, apoptosis

Summary This report is about an incidental finding during slaughter inspection of the heart in a heifer from a feedlot. The lesion, studied by histopathology and immunohistochemistry, resulted composed by several types of heart tissues, all of them immature, disordered and, out of proportion. The most conspicuous was a disperse population of large, vacuolated and PAS positive cells, forming islands, enmeshed in excessive fibrous connective tissue. These cells were identified as abnormal Purkinje

History of Cell Phones The history of mobile phones records the development of interconnection between the public switched telephone systems to radio transceivers. From the earliest days of transmitting speech by radio, connection of the radio system to the telephone network had obvious benefits of eliminating the wires. Early systems used bulky, high power consuming equipment and supported only a few conversations at a time, with required manual set-up of the interconnection. Today cellular technology

already known side effect or a new side effect not previously recognized. ADRs are very burdensome to the patient’s wellbeing, they increase healthcare cost, and roughly half of the reactions may be preventable. Introduction The following case report discusses a Type B ADR to Celecoxib of a 54 year-old female and the events that led to the diagnosis and treatment. Celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine that inhibits the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2

eye-allergy examination is usually made by means of advanced procedures so that the hidden troubles or issues can be easily and accurately detected without any confusion. Infectious conjunctivitis spread faster and this is why the internal tissues or cells of your eyes can get badly affected if the infectious elements are not detected on time. Medical histories are also checked out in order to find out that whether your eyes have got any existing troubles or not. If your eye condition is week from the

atheromas (Hansson, 2005). In models of experimental atherosclerosis, expression of VCAM-1 has been shown to increase on endothelial cells overlying nascent atheromas before leukocytes adhere to the arterial endothelium, and also mice genetically engineered to express defective VCAM-1, have shown interrupted lesion development (Cybulsky et al, 2001). Once the blood cells have attached, chemokines produced in the underlying intima stimulate them to migrate through the interendothelial junctions and

HKU984 ALI FARHOOMAND WAL-MART IN CHINA (2012) Introduction Summer was making its picture-perfect debut in New South Wales that day in October 2011, but Mr Greg Foran hardly noticed. Newly hired away from his role as head of Australia’s leading supermarket chain, Woolworth’s Supermarket Division, he was set to work as a senior vice president at Wal-Mart International, the fastest growing division of the world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart Corporation. However, what exactly he would be doing
