PATHOLOGY 1 Flashcards
(118 cards)
CHEDIAK HIGASHI SYNDROME
Autosomal recessive genetic disorder,def of lyst gene,occurs in childhood charrectrised by decreased pigment in skin and eyes, decreased immunity
OWLS EYE INCLUSION SEEN IN
Owl’s eye appearence of inclusion bodies is highly specific for cytomegalovirus infection,owls eye appearence of entire nucleus: finding in reed sternberg cells in hodgkin lymphoma
GIANT CELL
Multiple macrophage fuse to form bigger cell ,indication of severe infection
LANGHANS GIANT CELL
These nuclei are like nuclei of macrophage and epitheloid cells,
Nuclei are arranged either around periphery in the form of[horse shoe]or ring,
Or clustered at [two pole] of giant cell
Examples:1)tuberculosis
2)syphilis
3)sarcoidosis
TOUTON GIANT CELL
Macrophages that engulf lipid and cholestrol materiel form multinucleated giant cell that have foamy soap buble like cytoplasm
Seen in granulomas of xanthoma
WARTHIN FINKELDEY GIANT CELL
Seen in measles
CHRONIC GRANUMALTOUS DISEASE
Mutations in any gene can cause defect in enzyme nadph oxidase,certain wbc use this enzyme to produce hydrogen peroxide which is needed for killing bacteria,
There will be reccurent infections (aspergillus)
Diagnosis:nbt test,flow cytometry
RED MAN SYNDROME
Most common adverse reaction to drug vancomycin,typically consist of pruritis-erythmatous rash of face neck and upper torso,is due to release of histamine
HISTAMINE
Compounds involved in immune response
Once released from granules it produces effect in the body like
1)contraction of smooth muscle of lung(bronchoconstriction),uterus stomach
The dilation of blood vessel,which decrease blood preasure(vasodilator)
Mast cells mainly produces histamine
SEROTONIN
Released by platellets and basophils
Key hormone that stabilize our mood, feeling of well being happiness
It enables brain cells and other nervous system cell to communicate each other
Helps in sleeping eating digestion
SEROTONIN IN INFLAMATION
Relaesed by platellets and basophils
Platellets relase serotonin during inflammation as a mean to activate endothelial cell and promote leukocyte adhesion and recruitment
Stored in enterochrommafin cells of git
CARCINOID SYNDROME
Caused by excess secretion of serotonin Symptoms include tricuspid valve thickening and stenosis Diarhea Flushing Liver hepatomegally Nausea Vomiting Respiratory cough dyspnea Hemoptysis
ATROPHY
Reduction of size of cell
HYPERTROPHY
Increase in size
HYPOTROPHY or ATROPHY
Decrease in size
HYPERPLASIA
Increase in no
HYPOPLASIA/APLASIA
Decrease in no
METAPLASIA
Change in shape of cell
DYSPLASIA
Abnormal growth in cell not cancer but can become cancer
EXAMPLES OF MITOCHONDRIYAL INHERITANCE
If mother is effected all babies are effected
Melas :mitochondriyal encephalopathy lactic acidosis stroke
Lhon:labers heridotory optic neuropathy
Diabetes deafness
NARP:Neuritis ,ataxia,retinitis pigmentosa
Myoclonic epilepsy
MOSAICISM
When entire family tree is normal there is development of mosaic gene in one baby Eg:tuberculosclerosis Osteogenesis imperfecta Achandroplasia Down syndrome
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
Brittle bone disease
Mutation in the geneCOL1A1,COL1A2
GENE MUTATION IN ACHANDROPLASIA
Is the bone growth disorder
Dwarfism
Defect in the gene fibroblast growth factor receptor3
CHAMPAGNE GLASS PELVIS SEEN IN
Achandroplasia
