For this reason natural factors antiviral echinamide purchase movfor master card, veins have a higher capacitance and compliance than arteries of similar size hiv aids infection stages order movfor 200 mg without a prescription. However signs early hiv infection symptoms cheap 200 mg movfor with amex, the use of these variables to measure vessel flexibility fails when vessels of significantly different sizes are compared. For example, a large stiff- walled vessel may have a higher capacitance value than a tiny flexible vessel. For this reason, one should use the percentage increase in volume for a given increase in pressure as a means of comparing distensibility between vessels and segments of the vasculature of different sizes. As explained in later chapters, vascular capacitance, compliance, and distensibility are critical determinants of the performance of the heart, the stress and workload placed on the heart, and the amount of oxygen the heart must receive to function properly. All of these factors are important parameters in understanding the consequences of heart diseases and their treatments. Even within a given artery or vein, capacitance, distensibility, and compliance are not constants in the cardiovascular system. In addition, arterial compliance decreases with age at any given transmural pressure and is reduced by contraction of the smooth muscle within either arteries or veins. This active control over pressure/volume interrelationships in the vascular tree is an important component of the moment-to-moment control of blood volume distribution in the body and cardiac performance. Volume within an artery increases with an increase in transmural pressure because the arterial wall is flexible. The slope of this arterial volume–pressure relationship at any point is a measure of arterial compliance. Arterial compliance also decreases with aging and with the level of active smooth muscle contraction in the artery. Any transmural pressure within an artery or a vein exerts a force on the vessel wall that would tend to rip the wall apart were it not for the opposing forces supplied by the muscle and connective tissue of the vessel wall, as shown in Figure 11. This force is called tension and is equal to the product of the transmural pressure and the vessel radius. Blood vessel walls are sufficiently thick, so that in reality, this force is equal to a wall stress (the product of pressure [P] and the radius [r] divided by the wall thickness [w], or S = P × r/w). First, because tension and stress are related to vessel radius, small vessels are able to withstand higher pressures than vessels of larger diameters. For this reason, capillaries (inner diameter ~10 μm) can withstand relatively high intravascular pressure even though they are composed only of a single cell layer of endothelial cells. In arteries and veins, vessels with thick walls relative to their radius are able to withstand higher pressure than vessels with large r/w ratios because wall stress is lower in the former. Finally, tension and stress, not simply pressure, are the true forces that must be overcome to contract any hollow organ, such as a blood vessel or the heart. As is discussed later in the text, tension and stress are important determinants of energy requirements for the contraction of hollow organs. The tension is the force that would pull the vessel apart along an imaginary line along the length of the vessel. Tension in the vessel wall is related by the law of Laplace, as described in the text. The amount of blood that flows through any segment of the cardiovascular system is a function of blood pressure, vascular geometry, and the dynamic fluid characteristics of blood. In any tube of a given diameter, the amount of flow through the tube is proportional to the difference in pressure between one end of the tube and the other (Fig. Flow through a cylindrical tube is related to the length of the tube in an inverse proportion, for example, keeping all other determinants of flow unchanged, doubling only the length of a cylindrical tube reduces flow through the tube by half; tripling the length reduces flow to 1/3 that of the shorter tube and so forth. This radius effect has a profound influence therefore on blood flow through any tubular system. The pressure difference driving flow (ΔP) is the result of the height of the column of fluid above the openings of tubes a and b. Increasing the pressure difference increases flow; if pressure was the same at the entrance and exit of the tubes, there would be no flow. Flow is reduced in direct proportion to the length of the tube through which it flows. Because flow is also a function of the fourth power of the tube radius, small changes in radius have a marked effect on flow. Finally, fluid flow through a tube is affected by the viscosity, or the “thickness and stickiness,” of the fluid. Relationships between pressure, fluid flow, and resistance are quantified by Poiseuille’s law.

These small shallow ulcers never penetrate the muscular is propria, but may can bleed profusely. Esophageal varices occur in patients with portal hypertension usually associated with cirrhosis. This is in contrast to gastric peptic ulcer disease which are premalignant in nature (though rarely). The same holds true of infammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis has higher of progression to a malignancy than Crohn’s disease). Duodenal and Gastric peptic ulcer Features Duodenal ulcer Gastric ulcer Site 1st part of duodenum Along lesser curvature Incidence More common Less common Age 25 – 50 yrs, M>F Beyond 6th decade, M>F Etiology Almost all patients have H. These patients have anti-transglutaminase, anti-gliadin and anti-endomysial (most useful) antibodies. Exposure to the gliadin protein in wheat, oats, barley, and rye (but not rice) results in intestinal infammation. Dermatitis herpetiformis, and enteropathy associated T-cell lymphomas may be seen in some individuals. Explaining other options, • Pancreatitis has no association with sclerosing cholangitis. Since all or part of the stomach is removed, an ingested meal will be delivered to the small intestine more quickly than normal. The large increase in tonicity in the small intestine causes an osmotic fuid shift from the extracellular fuid (plasma) into the lumen of the gut. The increased distention of the small intestine increases motility through refex mechanisms and causes diarrhea. The blood volume contraction and concomitant release of vasoactive substances such as bradykinin and/or vasoactive intestinal peptide can create hypotension and refex tachycardia. These patients should be instructed to eat more frequent, smaller meals to reduce the osmotic and/or carbohydrate load that is delivered to the small intestine. Furthermore, since fats are the slowest to be absorbed, a diet that is higher in fat will also reduce the problem of rapid absorption. Amebic colitis (choice A) is caused by ingestion of infectious cysts (typically from Entamoeba histolytica). Concept • Reduced fber content leads to decreased stool bulk, increased fecal transit time in the bowel, and an altered bacterial fora of the intestine. Potentially toxic oxidative byproducts of carbohydrate degradation by bacteria are therefore present in higher concentrations in the stools and are held in contact with the colonic mucosa for longer periods of time. This condition is characterized by limited open- ing of mouth and burning sensation on eating of spicy food. Ans (b) Pancreatitis Purtscher’s retinopathy is manifested by a sudden and severe loss of vision in a patient with acute pancreatitis. It is caused by occlusion of the posterior retinal artery with aggregated granulocytes. There are cotton-wool spots and hemorrhages confned to an area limited by the optic disc and macula. Ans (a) Oxalate (Ref: Robbins 9/e p876) There are two general classes of gallstones: cholesterol stones, containing more than 50% of crystalline cholesterol mono- hydrate, and pigment stones composed predominantly of bilirubin calcium salts. Peutz-Jegher’s polyps are located usually in small intestine most commonly in jejunum. Weight loss, 517517 Review of Pathology fatigability, low grade fever, and aphthous ulcers of the oral mucosa are also common. Transmural infammation explains the two most common complications of Crohn’s disease: strictures, and fstulas. Chronic infammation causes edema and fbrosis leading to narrowing of the intestinal lumen (strictures). Ulcers can penetrate the entire thickness of the affected intestinal wall, leading to the formation of a fstula.

Extensive clinical guidelines for using and interpreting exercise stress testing have been developed and are continually updated by the American Heart Association and other professional cardiopulmonary or sports medicine groups antiviral zinc discount generic movfor uk. Exercise testing has long been used for the diagnosis of the hemodynamic consequences single cycle infection hiv discount movfor 200 mg buy on line, or severity hiv infection among youth purchase movfor 200 mg with amex, of obstructive coronary artery disease. The use of exercise stress testing to reveal this “silent coronary artery disease” is invaluable to the clinician. Similarly, many antiarrhythmic drugs exert their effects by either increasing or decreasing the electrical refractory period in the ventricles. One of the first signs of ischemia in the heart is an inversion of the T wave, as shown in Figure 12. With myocardial ischemia, the cells in the ischemic region partially depolarize to a lower resting membrane potential because of a lowering of the potassium ion concentration gradient, although they are still capable of firing action potentials. After depolarization (during the action potential plateau), all areas are depolarized and true zero is recorded. Such deviations in activation can result in erratic and insufficient mechanical activation of the heart such that blood flow output to peripheral organs is compromised. The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias is aided greatly by detailed analyses using the electrocardiogram. Many drugs that modify cardiac electrical processes have been employed for the control and management of arrhythmias. Although these drugs can often be proarrhythmic and come with many other side effects, they are still used extensively as pharmacotherapy for many types of arrhythmias. These drugs have different, diverse, effects on electrical properties of cardiac cells. Type I agents are called sodium channel antagonists because they impair the fast sodium channel kinetics in myocardial cells. Type I agents slow phase 0 of the myocardial action potential and thereby slow conduction of action potentials through the myocardium. By impairing sodium channel operation, they tend to raise the effective action potential threshold in atrial and ventricular cells and thereby reduce cell excitability. Their salutatory effect is to convert unidirectional conduction blocks in damaged myocardium into bidirectional blocks thereby quashing reentry arrhythmias. Quinidine (a derivative of quinine), procainamide, and disopyramide belong to this subclass. Although these agents can be used to treat various atrial and ventricular arrhythmias as well as reentry tachycardias, they are so fraught with undesirable autonomic and other side effects that they are generally reserved for acute treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias. Quinidine, in particular, is so cardiotoxic that it has to be discontinued in roughly 50% of patients after just a single use. Their primary beneficial + effect is that they enhance K conductance in Purkinje fibers without altering the resting membrane potential. This enables these cells, which are often prone to form ectopic foci, to more easily counteract depolarizing stimuli that could otherwise create an ectopic foci. These agents gain access to the fast sodium channel in the active and inactive state so they are especially effective in rapidly cycling or partially depolarized tissue. For this reason, they reduce conduction velocity in ischemic tissue but not normal myocardium and are especially effective in reducing ectopic-based tachycardias. Lidocaine is the prototypical drug in this class, which are the agents of choice in the acute treatment of sustained ventricular tachycardia and the prevention of ventricular fibrillation. Flecainide was one of the early drugs developed in this category, which also includes the agent propafenone. These agents however tend to be actually proarrhythmic in many instances and are therefore rarely used. The complex effects and side effects of Class I agents make them difficult to use in the long-term management of arrhythmias. For this reason, current clinical management utilizes surgical and medical device modalities for the long-term treatment of arrhythmias. Implantable, programmable, cardiac pacemaker/defibrillator units are now being used as a surgical solution to both abnormal bradyarrhythmias (pacemaker capability) as well as sudden emergent ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (automatic fibrillation detection and electrical defibrillation). Specialized nodal tissue cells exhibit the properties of automaticity and rhythmicity. Gap junctions at nexus between adjacent cells allow the heart to behave as a functional syncytium.

Mosaicism (Ref: Robbins 8th/161) Mosaicism is the term used when cells with more than one type of genetic constitution are present in the same organism hiv infection gas station discount movfor 200 mg online. The situation in the question uncommonly occurs when nondisjunction of chromosome 21 occurs during mitosis (rather than meiosis) in one of the early cell divisions hiv infection rates by city movfor 200 mg order on line. The degree to which the individual expresses the characteristics of the syndrome depends on the number of cells involved and their distribution. Balanced translocation (choice A) does not produce features of any syndrome, because critical genetic material is not lost, although progeny may be affected when the translocated chromosome is added to a complement of otherwise normal chromosomes. Chiasma (choice B) refers to the “X”-shape of chromosomes undergoing exchange of genetic material in crossover. Spermiogenesis (choice D) refers to the development of sperm precursors into mature sperm. It 122 Genetics is characterized by bone fragility, hearing loss, blue scleraQ and dentinogenesis imperfect. Most commonly used stain is Giemsa stainQ, so called G-bandingQ • The chromosomes are arranged in order of decreasing lengthQ. Any alteration in number or structure of chromosomes can be easily detected by karyotyping 60. It usually results from com- plete or partial monosomy of X chromosome and associated with hypogonadism in phenotypic females. The probe hybridizes to its homologous genomic sequence and thus labels a specifc chromosomal region that can be visualized under a fuorescent microscope. Limitation of this technique: the number of chromosomes that can be detected simultaneously by chromosome painting is limited due to the availability of fuorescent dyes that emit different wavelengths of visible light. Currently used for detection of cancer, mutations in mental retardation and the detection of microdeletions. Instead of dividing longitudinally to separate the two sister chromatids, the centromere undergoes a transverse split that separated the two arms from one another... Principles of clinical cytogenetics Figure: Some of the mechanism proposed for isochromosome formation. There is no corresponding locus for a mutant allele of the X chromosome on the Y chromosome. The mutant recessive gene on the X chromosome expresses itself in a male child because it is not suppressed by a normal allele whereas in the female, the presence of a normal allele on other X-chromosome prevents the expression of the disease so, females only act as carriers. Because carrier mothers are not mani- festing the disease, yet their sons do, the disorder can only be recessive. So, even if one mutant allele is present on X-chromosome, it will manifest (whether recessive or dominant). Clinical trials using recombinant adeno-associated vectors are now ongoing for muscular dystrophies, alpha-1 antitrypsin defciency, lipoprotein lipase defciency, hemophilia B, and a form of congenital blindness called Leber’s congenital amau- rosis. The prevailing paradigm in developmental biology is that once cells are differentiated, their phenotypes are stable. How- ever, tissue stem cells, which are thought to be lineage-committed multipotent cells, possess the capacity to differentiate into cell types outside their lineage restrictions (called trans-differentiation or stem cell plasticity). For example, hemat- opoietic stem cells may be converted into neurons as well as germ cells. There is presence of pleomorphic inclusion of lipids in lysosomes enclosed in concentric or parallel lamellae. Because such a child is a heterozygous at the Rb locus, it implies that heterozygosity for the Rb gene does not affect cell behavior. A sequence of three of these bases forms the triplet code used in transmitting the genetic information needed for protein synthesis. The small variation in gene sequence (called as a haplotype) is thought to account for the individual differences in physical traits, behaviors, and disease susceptibility. It will be manifested in female having both the mutant alleles (Xh Xh) whereas XhX will be carrier.

The regulated internal body temperature is the temperature of the vital organs inside the head and trunk, which, together with a variable amount of other tissue, comprise the warm internal core. Because the temperatures of the surface and the thickness of the shell depend on environmental temperature, the shell is thicker in the cold and thinner in the heat. Heat is produced in all tissues of the body but is lost to the environment only from tissues in contact with the environment-predominantly from the skin and, to a lesser degree, from the respiratory tract. Therefore, we need to consider heat transfer within the body, especially heat transfer (1) from major sites of heat production to the rest of the body and (2) from the core to the skin. Heat is transported within the body by two means: conduction through the tissues and convection by the blood, whereby flowing blood carries heat from warmer tissues to cooler tissues. Heat flow by conduction varies directly with the thermal conductivity of the tissues, the change in temperature over the distance the heat travels, and the area (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow) through which the heat flows. Heat flow by convection depends on the rate of blood flow and the temperature difference between the perfused tissue and its blood supply. Because the vessels of the microvasculature have thin walls and, collectively, a large total surface area, the blood temperature equilibrates with that of the surrounding tissue before it reaches the capillaries. Changes in skin blood flow in a cool environment change the thickness of the shell. When skin blood flow is reduced in a cold environment, the affected skin becomes cooler and the underlying tissues-which in the cold may include most of the limbs and the more superficial muscles of the neck and trunk-become cooler as they lose heat by conduction to the cool overlying skin and, ultimately, to the environment. In this way, these underlying tissues, which in a hot environment were part of the body core, now become part of the shell. Because the shell lies between the core and the environment, all heat leaving the body core, except that which is lost through the respiratory tract, must pass through the shell before being lost to the environment. In a cool subject, skin blood flow is low, so conduction dominates core-to-skin heat transfer; the shell is also thicker, providing more insulation to the core, because heat flow by conduction varies inversely with the distance the heat must travel. Changes in skin blood flow, which directly affect core-to-skin heat transfer by convection, also indirectly affect conductive core-to-skin heat transfer by changing the thickness of the shell. In a cool subject, the subcutaneous fat layer contributes to the insulation value of the shell because the fat layer increases the thickness of the shell and because fat has conductivity about 0. In a warm subject, however, the shell is relatively thin and provides little insulation. Furthermore, a warm subject’s skin blood flow is high, and so convection dominates heat flow from the core to the skin. In these circumstances, the subcutaneous fat layer, which affects conduction but not convection, has little effect on heat flow from the core to the skin. Core temperature varies slightly from one site to another, depending on such local factors as metabolic rate, blood supply, and the temperatures of adjacent tissues. However, temperatures at different places in the core are all similar to the temperature of the central blood and tend to change together. The notion of a single, uniform core temperature, though not strictly correct, is a useful approximation. The effects of heavy exercise and fever are familiar; variation among people and such factors as time of day and method of measurement (Fig. Temperature-sensitive neurons and nerve endings in the abdominal viscera, great veins, spinal cord, and especially, the brain provide this information. We consider how the thermoregulatory system processes and responds to this information later in the chapter. Core temperature should be determined at a site where the measurement is not biased by environmental temperature. Clinically used sites include the rectum, the mouth, and, occasionally, the axilla. The rectum is well insulated from the environment; its temperature is independent of environmental temperature and is a few tenths of 1°C warmer than arterial blood and other core sites. The tongue is richly supplied with blood; oral temperature under the tongue is usually close to blood temperature (and 0. If a patient holds his or her upper arm firmly against the chest to close the axilla, axillary temperature will eventually come reasonably close to core temperature. However, because this may take 30 minutes or more, axillary temperature is used infrequently.
