Liver

The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal or the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). In the mouth is chemical digestion due to the enzymes in the saliva known as amylase (Manley, 83). Peristalsis occurs in the esophagus (phagus = eat) and all throughout the G.I. tract. The smooth muscle tissues contract pushing the food (bolus) down

also knows as gallstones occurs in the gallbladder, the function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. Cholelithiasis occurs when the balance that keeps cholesterol, calcium, bile salts solution is altered. The bile secreted by the liver is supersaturated with cholesterol therefore it come out as a solid. Immobility, pregnancy and inflammation or obstructive lesions of the biliary system decreases bile flow. The stones may stay in the gallbladder or move to the cystic duct or the

Guidelines- RCOG - (Evidence from observational SRs, Cochrane, and some individual RCTs) They suggest single (max 2-3) dose regimes of MTX (50mg/m2) without folinic acid in selected patients. AEs listed are nausea, vomiting, flatulence and abnormal liver function tests. Elson 2016 ACOG - (Evidence from observational SRs) They suggest multiple/variable dose regimes of MTX with folinic acid. AEs listed are the same as shown in Table 1.Pfeifer 2013 NICE- (Evidence from observational SRs, individual RCTs

Furthermore, BjtX-1 and BjtX-2, both are peptides of 28 amino acids, were also found in the venom of scorpion B. judaicus. These two peptides enhance the binding of [3H] ryanodine to sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes of skeletal muscle without affecting liver or cardiac microsomes (Zhu and Tytgat, 2004). IpTxi (15 KD) and IpTxa (3.7 KD) from the scorpion Pandinus imperator were the first toxins described to possess a high affinity to the RyR. (Quintero-Hernandez et al., 2013; Valdivia et al.,

body. The digestive tract consists of two parts the gastrointestinal tract known as GI tract and a set of accessory organs. GI tract starting at the oral cavity, through abdominal cavity and end at the anus. Major accessory organs include pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. There are 5 basic processes the digestive system have. The processes include and ingestion, mixing digestion, absorption, and defecation. Ingestion is the first step which is when the food and liquids are taken in the mouth and eaten

storage capacity in the ferritin molecules, all the excess and unbounded iron promotes free-radical formation in cells, which then results in the peroxidation of membrane lipids and injury of cells. The deposition of iron occurs in many organs, such as, liver, pancreas, and heart.

Introduction Cholelithiasis (also called gallstones) is a form of gallbladder disease in which gallstones form in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile. Bile is made in the liver, and it helps digest fats. Gallstones begin as small crystals and slowly grow into stones. Gallstone pain occurs when the gallbladder contracts and a gallstone is blocking the duct. Pain can also occur when a stone passes out of the duct. What are the causes? This condition [is / may be] caused by:

Hepatitis A • Hepatitis A is caused by the “Hepatitis A Virus”; this is also part of the RNA virus. HEP A is found in the liver and is something that can last for a few days or several months at a time. It could take about 2-6 weeks after the infection has entered your body in order for you to start showing symptoms if this. This is something that is mainly found in places were clean water is scarce and that the environment is not so safe. Usually it is contracted in the early childhood stages

affected by barriers (e.g. the placenta and the BBB)". Biotransformation "This is a process of metabolizing drugs in the body. It occurs mainly in the liver and is therefore often called hepatic metabolism. Some drugs are given that are activated by this hepatic metabolism. These are called pro-drugs. Drug metabolism is split into two phases in the liver. An example of phase I metabolism would be oxidation. An example of phase II metabolism would be conjugation. Excretion "Excretion includes renal elimination
