Epidermolysis bullosa

HAS TECHNOLOGY DELIVERED ON ITS PROMISE OF HUMAN BETTERMENT? PRESENTED TO DR. KRISTEN DOMIKE BY IMAOBONG UMOESSIEN 114279 ON 20 NOVEMBER 2012 UPEI ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to understand and answer the question “Has Technology Delivered On Its Promise Of Human Betterment?”. To do so, we searched for the effects of medical technology on humans, using articles from the textbook and internet, the summary of lectures undergone over the semester and personal experience. Using ideas

IgG deposits are rarely present in the absence of C3, but presence of IgA, IgM and IgE has been described. This pattern of immunoreactants is not specific to BP and may be seen in cicatricial pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. BP can be differentiated from these conditions by the salt-split technique in which patient's skin biopsy sample is incubated in 1 mol/l salt solution prior to performing DIF. This process induces cleavage through the lamina lucida

Regenerative medicine such as tissue replacement and wound healing has been used quite extensively for skin treatments over the years. Understanding the pathology of skin injury will bring effective treatments and wound healing outcomes. Several strategies like traditional skin grafts, certain biomaterials, and stem cell therapies are vital for current tissue injuries and the future of tissue regeneration. Introduction and Pathology The skin is said to be the largest organ in a human body. It is

An adult can become very sick throughout their life, and many things could happen to them along the way. Not only the terminally ill but what about those who get hurt or become disabled? Around the world car accidents or just any kind of accidents happen everyday, some of the people that leave from these accidents alive are in pain or there is a machine keeping them alive. If someone gets hurt and there is no way for the doctors to fix it, they should not have to sit there everyday wishing that their

PATHOGENESIS Current evidence suggests that mucous membrane pemphigoid develops as a consequence of the loss of immunologic tolerance to structural proteins in epidermal basement membrane. This loss of tolerance culminates in the development of circulating autoantibodies that bind epidermal basement membrane, elicit inflammation, and weaken adhesion of the overlying epidermis. As noted earlier, a variety of different autoantigens are recognized by circulating autoantibodies from patients with mucous

Do you know someone in your life who is suffering from a disease with no cure, like Parkinson’s disease? Imagine a world where when people got old they didn’t need to worry about Parkinson’s disease, or a world where mothers and fathers didn’t have to live in fear of their child developing Tay-Sachs disease or cystic fibrosis, diseases where their child could die before the age of four. Stem cells that are in our bodies, and that we can take from our bodies can be used to prevent all of this, with

How could an all powerful, and morally perfect God, allow evil to exist? I argue that from a logical perspective, a PKM God and evil cannot coexist. I will also refute against claims that evil may be present for good intents, as well as giving examples of the harm it causes in real world circumstances, and how a powerful, knowing, and morally perfect God would not allow such evils to exist. The most accepted version of God, worldwide, is the PKM God, which stands for: all-powerful, all-knowing,

Miracles and Tragedies with Stem Cell Treatment Abstract: This research paper will discuss about some life impacting cases from various sicknesses using stem cell treatments. It will cover a case in which have given people another chance to live a normal life. In one of the cases, the stem cell treatment has been able to cure a fatal genetic disease called RDEB for two young brothers. The second will show that after autologous stem cell transplantation a woman had died two days after. A stem

My research about stem cells, I will be talking about what a stem cell is. Why are stem cells important from a medical perspective? How are stem cells being used today? Where do scientists get stem cells? Why is so much controversy over the stem cells? How does a zygote develop into a baby? Why a zygote is considered a stem cell? A stem cell is an immature cell that can help reproduce different types of cells throughout the body. There are three types of stem cells that I will be focusing on : adult

DERMOSCOPIC FEATURES OF BULLOUS DISEASES: SKIN, NAIL AND HAIR By Asmaa Atia Eisa M.B., B.Ch.,Faculty of Medicine , Zagazig University INTRODUCTION Blisters can occur in a variety of conditions. They may result from damage of epidermal cells. Loss of adhesion between the cells may occur within the epidermis (pemphigus) or at the basement membrane (pemphigoid). In eczema there is oedema between the epidermal cells, resulting in spongiosis. Sometimes, there are associated inflammatory
