  • Diseases of the Tonsil
    DISEASES OF THE TONSIL Dr. Amer salih aljibori Acute Tonsillitis: acute inflammatory condition of the faucial tonsil which may involve the mucosa, crypts,follicles and /or tonsillor parenchyma. Causatve agents; -Viral:Initially starts with viral infection then followed by secondary bacterial infection.Common viruses are influenza,parainfluenza.adenovirus and rhinovirus. -Bacterial:Streptococcus hemolyticus,Hemophilus influenza,pneumococcus,M.catarrahalis. Pathology and pathogenesis: Usually it starts in the childhood when there is low immune status.Depending on the progress of the disease,this can be classified further into the following types. •Catarrhal tonsillitis:It occurs due to viral infection of the upper respiratory tract involving the mucosa of the tonsil •Cryptic tonsillitis: Following viral infection ,secondary bacterial infection supervenes and gets entrapped within the crypts leading to localized form of infection •Acute follicular tonsillitis. It is sever form of tonsillitis caused by virulent organisms like streptococcus hemolyticus and Hemophilus. It causes spread of inflammation from tonsillar crypts to the surrounding tosillar follicles. Acute parenchymal tonsillitis: The secondary bacterial infection will invade to the crypts and it is rapidly spreads into the tonsillar parenchyma.. Cryptic tonsillitis 1- Symptoms -Fever -Generalized malaise and bodyache. -Odynophagia. -Dry cough. -Sorethroat. 2- Signs -Congested and oedematous tonsils -Tonsils may be diffusely swollen in parenchymatous tonsillitis. -Crypts filled with pus in follicular tonsillitis. -Membrane cover the tonsil and termed as membranous tonsillitis. -Tender enlarged jugulodigastric lymph nodes. -Signs of upper respiratory tract infection and adenoiditis. Investigations. -Throat swab for culture and sensitivity. -Blood smear to rule out hemopoeitic disorders like leukemia,agranulocytosis. -Paul-Bunnel test may be required if membrane seen to rulr out infectious mononucleosis.

  • The Evolving Cardiac Lymphatic Vasculature in Development, Repair and Regeneration
    REVIEWS The evolving cardiac lymphatic vasculature in development, repair and regeneration Konstantinos Klaourakis 1,2, Joaquim M. Vieira 1,2,3 ✉ and Paul R. Riley 1,2,3 ✉ Abstract | The lymphatic vasculature has an essential role in maintaining normal fluid balance in tissues and modulating the inflammatory response to injury or pathogens. Disruption of normal development or function of lymphatic vessels can have severe consequences. In the heart, reduced lymphatic function can lead to myocardial oedema and persistent inflammation. Macrophages, which are phagocytic cells of the innate immune system, contribute to cardiac development and to fibrotic repair and regeneration of cardiac tissue after myocardial infarction. In this Review, we discuss the cardiac lymphatic vasculature with a focus on developments over the past 5 years arising from the study of mammalian and zebrafish model organisms. In addition, we examine the interplay between the cardiac lymphatics and macrophages during fibrotic repair and regeneration after myocardial infarction. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting the cardiac lymphatic network to regulate immune cell content and alleviate inflammation in patients with ischaemic heart disease. The circulatory system of vertebrates is composed of two after MI. In this Review, we summarize the current complementary vasculatures, the blood and lymphatic knowledge on the development, structure and function vascular systems1. The blood vasculature is a closed sys- of the cardiac lymphatic vasculature, with an emphasis tem responsible for transporting gases, fluids, nutrients, on breakthroughs over the past 5 years in the study of metabolites and cells to the tissues2.

  • A Spectral BSSRDF for Shading Human Skin
    Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (2006) Tomas Akenine-Möller and Wolfgang Heidrich (Editors) A Spectral BSSRDF for Shading Human Skin Craig Donner and Henrik Wann Jensen† Universtiy of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA Abstract We present a novel spectral shading model for human skin. Our model accounts for both subsurface and surface scattering, and uses only four parameters to simulate the interaction of light with human skin. The four parameters control the amount of oil, melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, which makes it possible to match specific skin types. Using these parameters we generate custom wavelength dependent diffusion profiles for a two-layer skin model that account for subsurface scattering within the skin. These diffusion profiles are computed using convolved diffusion multipoles, enabling an accurate and rapid simulation of the subsurface scattering of light within skin. We combine the subsurface scattering simulation with a Torrance-Sparrow BRDF model to simulate the interaction of light with an oily layer at the surface of the skin. Our results demonstrate that this four parameter model makes it possible to simulate the range of natural appearance of human skin including African, Asian, and Caucasian skin types.

  • Lymphangiogenesis and Angiogenesis During Human Fetal
    Roost et al. Vascular Cell 2014, 6:22 http://www.vascularcell.com/content/6/1/22 VASCULAR CELL RESEARCH Open Access Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis during human fetal pancreas development Matthias S Roost1, Liesbeth van Iperen1, Ana de Melo Bernardo1, Christine L Mummery1, Françoise Carlotti2, Eelco JP de Koning2,3 and Susana M Chuva de Sousa Lopes1,4* Abstract Background: The complex endocrine and exocrine functionality of the human pancreas depends on an efficient fluid transport through the blood and the lymphatic vascular systems. The lymphatic vasculature has key roles in the physiology of the pancreas and in regulating the immune response, both important for developing successful transplantation and cell-replacement therapies to treat diabetes. However, little is known about how the lymphatic and blood systems develop in humans. Here, we investigated the establishment of these two vascular systems in human pancreas organogenesis in order to understand neovascularization in the context of emerging regenerative therapies. Methods: We examined angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during human pancreas development between 9 and 22 weeks of gestation (W9-W22) by immunohistochemistry. Results: As early as W9, the peri-pancreatic mesenchyme was populated by CD31-expressing blood vessels as well as LYVE1- and PDPN-expressing lymphatic vessels. The appearance of smooth muscle cell-coated blood vessels in the intra-pancreatic mesenchyme occurred only several weeks later and from W14.5 onwards the islets of Langerhans also became heavily irrigated by blood vessels. In contrast to blood vessels, LYVE1- and PDPN-expressing lymphatic vessels were restricted to the peri-pancreatic mesenchyme until later in development (W14.5-W17), and some of these invading lymphatic vessels contained smooth muscle cells at W17.

  • Characterization of Contractile Machinery of Vascular Smooth Muscles in Hypertension
    life Review Characterization of Contractile Machinery of Vascular Smooth Muscles in Hypertension Qunhui Yang * and Masatoshi Hori Department of Veterinary Pharmacology, Graduate School of Agriculture and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, 1-1-1 Yayoi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8657, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-3-5841-7940; Fax: +81-3-5841-8183 Abstract: Hypertension is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease and it is a growing public health problem worldwide. The pathophysiological mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contrac- tion contribute to the development of hypertension. Calcium (Ca2+)-dependent and -independent signaling mechanisms regulate the balance of the myosin light chain kinase and myosin light chain phosphatase to induce myosin phosphorylation, which activates VSM contraction to control blood pressure (BP). Here, we discuss the mechanism of the contractile machinery in VSM, especially RhoA/Rho kinase and PKC/CPI-17 of Ca2+ sensitization pathway in hypertension.

    Syndromes of the First and Second Branchial Arches, Part 1: Embryology and Characteristic REVIEW ARTICLE Defects J.M. Johnson SUMMARY: A variety of congenital syndromes affecting the face occur due to defects involving the G. Moonis first and second BAs. Radiographic evaluation of craniofacial deformities is necessary to define aberrant anatomy, plan surgical procedures, and evaluate the effects of craniofacial growth and G.E. Green surgical reconstructions. High-resolution CT has proved vital in determining the nature and extent of R. Carmody these syndromes. The radiologic evaluation of syndromes of the first and second BAs should begin H.N. Burbank first by studying a series of isolated defects: CL with or without CP, micrognathia, and EAC atresia, which compose the major features of these syndromes and allow more specific diagnosis. After discussion of these defects and the associated embryology, we proceed to discuss the VCFS, PRS, ACS, TCS, Stickler syndrome, and HFM.
