The most common type of cirrhosis worldwide is postnecrotic cirrhosis which is the result of massive necrosis caused by hepatotoxins such as viral hepatitis. Biliary cirrhosis is caused by inflammation resulting in biliary obstruction in the liver and common bile ducts. Laennec's cirrhosis is primarily the result of changes in the liver due to alcoholism and malnutrition. Only alcoholics get cirrhosis. INCORRECT The most common type of cirrhosis worldwide is actually the result of hepatotoxins, such as viral hepatitis, which cause massive liver necrosis.
\ Research for Cystic Fibrosis (In Lungs) What is Cystic Fibrosis? * Cystic Fibrosis is a disease passed on through genes from a parent to a child. In patients with cystic fibrosis, the glands which aid in the production of mucus and swear malfunction, allowing mucus to become very thick and sticky. This affect the lungs because as the mucus in our lungs accumulates, our airways to the lungs can be blocked, making it hard to breathe. Also, bacteria can grow in mucus making the lungs susceptible to other diseases.
Sickle Cell Anemia Every year Sickle Cell Anemia claims 501 lives and affects 72,000 others. Some may ask "What is Sickle Cell Anemia?" It derived from Ancient Greek meaning "lack of blood". It is a disease passed down through families, in which hemoglobin and developed red blood cells become irregularly shaped like crescents or sickles. In addition, having this type of anemia causes the red blood cells (RBCs) to become hard and pointed.
Jaundice occurs because the rapid breakdown of abnormal red blood cells leads to a build up of a waste product in the body called bilirubin.The build up of bilirubin often leads to the formation of small crystal ducts called gallstones. Most gallstones do not cause symptoms but occasionally they can block the bile duct which drains bile from the liver into the bowel. This can trigger jaundice. Leg ulcer A leg ulcer can be painful it’s an open sore that develops on the lower leg, usually close to the ankle. Leg ulcers often develop after a skin infection or injury, such as a cut or puncture wound.
We are first introduced to Kyle Turley, an ex-professional football who was an offensive lineman for many different teams. After passing out at a bar in Nashville one night while with his wife, he describes what the experience felt like. I had never passed out like that before, and I started becoming really paranoid. I went into a panic. We get to the emergency room.
They all developed schizophrenia although the onset and symptoms were very different. This could have been a result of having a troubled upbringing. This suggests a strong heritable component. Further, Joseph calculated concordance rates of 40.4% for MZ twins and 7.4% for DZ twins. However, most first degree relatives and twins share the same or similar environments so it is difficult to separate genetic and environmental influences.
Introduction When an athlete sustains an injury while playing the sport that they love, it can have a debilitating effect. Depending on the injury, not only can they be forced to miss a significant amount of playing time (which can affect their livelihood) while they go through rehab, they also lose a huge piece of themselves. The physical part of an injury is only half the battle athletes have to face. Thoughts, feelings and spirit all contribute to sport performance, and are important parts of every athlete (Brehm, 2008). Injuries cause extreme pain, limit movements and depending on the severity, can require a large amount of time for rehab.
This abnormality causes red blood cells to become rigid, sticky, and misshapen. The gene is passed from one generation to another in a pattern called autosomal recessive inheritance. Which means both parents must pass on the defective form of this gene in order for a child to be affected. One parent may pass this gene on to a child resulting in having the sickle cell trait. This is where they have one normal gene and one defective gene causing them to make both normal hemoglobin and sickle cell hemoglobin.
It is the most common melanoma in African-Americans and Asians, and the least common among Caucasians. Nodular melanoma is usually invasive at the time it is first diagnosed. The malignancy is recognized when it becomes a bump. It is usually black, but occasionally is blue, gray, white, brown, tan, red or skin tone. This is the most aggressive of the melanomas, and is found in 10 to 15 percent of cases.
In (2003) Brondolo et al linked racism and discrimination to “hypertension” or as we know it high blood pressure in African Americans. High blood pressure is the leading cause of deaths from strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure. In (2004) Gibbons et al linked it to “substance abuse.” Substance abuse is caused by depression, anxiety, and a low socioeconomic status. In (2005) Giscombe and Lomel linked racism and discrimination to “adverse birth outcomes” basically people subjected to racism and discrimination are at risk for having premature babies, babies born with low birth weight or born with long term health problems across their life coarse. Racism and discrimination is one of the main reasons for health defects in
