Renal Microvascular Complications of Type 2 Diabetes: Aetiology and Pathogenesis Abstract There have been a number of manuscripts reporting on the association of complications in type 2 diabetes with high glucose blood levels, high levels of C-Peptide, high advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and oxidative stress. In order to further investigate the aetiology and pathophysiology of renal microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes, papers were

the fistula was thought to have arisen to discharge keratinous material produced in the intraosseous lesion. Distant tumours were ruled out with PET-CT or 67Ga scintigraphy, and they satisfied previously described criteria. Radiograhically, differential diagnosis was not easy, especially for inflammatory diseases such as osteomyelitis. In our cases, all subjects showed ill-defined radiolucent lesions on panoramic radiographs and CT-scans. CT examinations allow visualization of some carcinomatous features

action tremor takes place only when an affected body part is moving to change position intentionally. Action tremor is subdivided into three types: cerebellar lesion, rubral tremor, and psychogenic tremor. Cerebellar lesions and rubral tremors are discussed in the paragraphs below (Grimaldi & Manto, 2013). Cerebellar lesion. A cerebellar lesion is a tremor related to cerebellar disorders. It happens after a patient suffers a stroke that causes cerebellum damage. The damage to the cerebellum impairs

Introduction The cells in our bodies all have certain jobs to do. Normal cells divide in an orderly way. They die when they are damaged, and new cells take their place. Cancer is when the cells start to growth out of control, meanly know as malignancy. The cancer cells keep on growing and making new cells. They crowd out normal cells. This causes problems in the part of the body where the cancer started. Cancer is not just one disease. There are many types of cancer. Cancer can start in the lungs

Anthony Sleiman Dr. Baker and Dr. Story International Health 3 November 2016 Global Burden of Disease – Cervical Cancer On a global scale, cancer is now responsible for double the amount of annual deaths than malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS combined, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC, 2016). With cancer rates now increasing rapidly in developing countries, the World Health Organization has predicted that the amount of cancer deaths worldwide will increase by 80% by 2030 (WHO, 2012)

follicles. It is in the hair follicles where acne forms. When you get an acne lesion such as a pustule, papule or cyst, you have a chance of getting a scar. The hair follicle or pore has excess oil, which holds dead skin cells that attract bacteria and become inflamed. When the pore swells, it causes a break in the follicle wall. Sometimes a minor lesion is near the surface of the skin and heals quickly. When the lesion forms deep and the infection breaks out of the follicle wall and spills into the

Discuss the presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, treatment modalities, and patient education of herpes zoster. Herpes zoster, or shingles, is a viral infection that results in vesicular lesions on skin, which are typically limited to one side of the body following one body dermatome (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas, 2015). Herpes zoster is caused by reactivation of the chickenpox, or varicella-zoster virus. Once an individual is exposed to this virus

effective education, prevention, and detection. Discussion CS is acquired by vertical transmission of the bacterium Treponema pallidum from infected mother to unborn fetus while it is still in the uterus. If the mother delivers with active genital lesions, the newborn may also contract CS from direct contact with mucus membranes. “The overall risk of transplacental infection of the fetus is about 60 to 80%, and the likelihood is increased during the second half of the pregnancy”(Caserta, 2013). Mothers

In order to further investigate the aetiology and pathophysiology of renal microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes, papers were reviewed through 2000 using the NIH PubMed Literature Search System.

Navigation of blood vessels is an essential part in reaching a lesion or a vessel segment for treatment. Such task is achieved using an endovascular device. The circulatory system being tortuous, improvements to endovascular devices are being investigated. Here the process involved in improving this medical field was by combining two technologies together: endovascular devices and ionic electroactive polymers (i-EAP). Medical procedures such as angioplasty, coronary and peripheral, atherectomy
