Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The nonspecific, complex biological response of the body tissues is called inflammation. The tissue damage occurs due to the various causes including, pathogens, chemicals, heat, ultraviolet light, cuts, and abrasions. Inflammation is categorized into two types, namely, acute and chronic inflammation.

TRUE OR FALSE
1. Since a tattoo is a pigment considered as an intracellular accumulation, it is absolutely toxic
2. Even if the cell is intact, there can be an irreversible cell injury if the nucleus is affected
3. There is excessive accumulation of substances in a tissue if you will not only be able to observe them intracellularly but also extracellularly
Question 1 Nursing.
Innate lymphoid cells reside primarily in tissues such as the lungs, the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the skin, because these sites represent the major routes of entry of pathogens into the body.
Several different subsets of innate lymphoid cells exist, and each is specialized to respond to a category of pathogen (e.g., viruses, extracellular bacteria, helminthic parasites, etc).
a) True
b) False
Immunology Case Study to study
A 34 week pregnant women called her obstetrician as she was worried after coming down with a fever and sore throat. The doctor ordered EBV testing and CMV antibody testing. EBV testing was negative, but the mother demonstrated a four fold increase in CMV IgG after a 14 day interval.1. What is the definitive testing to be done to confirm CMV infection in the mother?
2. What are the chances her newborn will be born with symptoms of congenital CMV?
3. Why are CMV screenings on all pregnant women not a part of routine prenatal care?
4. What antibody class (IgG or IgM) would point to CMV infection in newborn testing?

Eosinophils can phagocytize and this is their usual mode of attack. 4. The body’s initial line of defense is made up of chemicals, and processes that work together to prevent pathogens from entering the body in the first place. 5. In general, beta and gamma interferons are present early in viral infections, whereas alpha interferon appears somewhat later in the course of infection. 6. The second line of defense is chiefly composed of external physical barriers to pathogens, especially the skin and mucous membranes. 7. The chemicals involved assist phagocytic cells either by directly attacking pathogens or by enhancing other features of specific resistance. 8.

- Give typed explanation Case Study A 25-year-old male patient reports “itching all over my body” and is seeking treatment for the condition. Upon assessment, the nurse notes reddened areas on the patient’s arms, chest, and upper legs. The patient reports that this reddening is from scratching for the last 3 days. The patient reports intense itching around the undergarments as well. There is no apparent evidence of breaks in the skin, welts, pustules, or insect bites on the patient’s skin. The area around the patient’s undergarments appears chaffed, but no raised areas, open areas, or drainage are noted. The patient scratches around the undergarments but over the clothing, which has protected the skin from scratch marks. The patient’s back also appears chaffed. The patient reports a history of environmental allergies with nasal symptoms due to pollens and pet dander.

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs.
