Acute Manic Episode in Depressed Adult Female Cementing Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder I in the Presence of an Arachnoid Cyst Preceptor: Dr. Olga Abduakhadov, MD Bayonne Medical Center Psychiatric Rotation 1/5/15 – 1/30/15 Marie Pereira KCOM OMS III January 20, 2015   ABSTRACT Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by episodes of mania, hypomania, or major depression [1]. It affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans, or about 2.6% of the U.S. population over 18 yearly

Review the Role of Amoeba in Human Disease Introduction Free-living amoebae (FLA) are eukaryotic organism found ubiquitously in nature. They are found in soil (dust), air, water and air, which provide amoeba multiple opportunities to spread (c). These can be pathogenic or non-pathogenic. Pathogenic FLA can invade and cause opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections in humans, which are found in the genus Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia mandrillaris, Naegleria fowleri, and Sappinia pedata (b).

Spaniels, Poodles, Schnauzers & Terriers are breeds of dogs more likely to be affected. Canine epidermal inclusion cysts form when dry secretions block hair follicles, this causes a build-up of hair and sebum (an oily/greasy matter), which leads to the formation of a cyst. They are a dome like growth that can vary in size, anything up to an inch and a half but usually smaller. If they become infected drainage is recommended which occasionally

It can detect cysts from 1-1.5 cm. This study avoids the use of radiation or contrast material, is widely available, and is inexpensive. The sensitivity of ultrasonography for ADPKD1 is 99% for at-risk patients older than 20 years; however, false-negative results are more common in younger patients. Sensitivity for ADPKD2 is lower and is still not well defined. Ultrasonography is also useful for exploring abdominal extrarenal features of ADPKD (e.g., liver cysts, pancreatic cysts). The presence

primarily involves the kidneys, and it is genetic. It is distinguished by the growth of multiple cysts in these organs that ultimately slowly impair the normal kidney function. These cysts are non-cancerous circular sacs that contain a fluid-like substance and have the ability to increase in size as more fluid is accumulated. While the condition mostly affects the kidneys, it is not uncommon for the cysts to grow in other body parts, for example, the liver. This disease poses serious complications that

leaking aneurysm, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, twisted ovarian cyst, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ureteral calculi, incarcerated strangulated inguinal hernia, endometriosis, Meckel’s diverticulitis, abdominal wall hematoma. On the other hand if the pain is in left upper quadrant (LUQ) area it could be from: gastritis, acute

several important issues. The described patient initially presented with recurrent arterial embolic events, which is an unusual manifestation of this disease. The hydatid embolism usually stems from spontaneous or traumatic rupture of the hydatid cyst, with only a several case reports describing such events in the literature [2]. Still, histopathologic evaluation of the embolus can be pursed, which in some instances may reveal

thick-walled cyst that is present in stools (“Blastocystis,” 2012). This parasite is transmitted through fecal-oral. This parasite can appear in many different forms like vacuolar and granular forms, mutlivacuolar and avacuolar forms, ameboid form, and cyst form (“Blastocystis Hominis,” n.d.). The cyst form enters the epithelial cells of the digestive tract and it multiplies (“Blastocystis,” 2012). Therefore, the vacuolar and ameboid form and then the vacuolar develops into a pre cyst (“Blastocystis

Cilia; An Essential Motility Centre Whose Defects Are Implicated in Many Diseases In the summer of 1674, the Dutch scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek looked through a homemade microscope at a sample of rain water and revolutionized the human view of the world. What he found was “little legs” that we now know are the cilia that many single-celled protozoa use for locomotion. Almost exactly 300 years later, the observations of Swedish scientists Afzelius led to another paradigm shift, when he linked

is also known as polycystic kidney syndrome. it is a genetic disease in which abnormal cysts develop in the kidneys. Cystic disorders can be seen even after a few weks of birth. This disease also occurs in some animals such as british short hair, selkrik rex, Scottish fold, the birmen, devon rex, maine coon. PKD is identified by the presence of multiple cysts which is why it is called polycystic . these cysts are filled with fluid which causes the increase the size of kidney. Polycystic kidney
