Echopeanic parenchyma with loss of cortico-medullary differentiation refers to an ultrasound finding often seen in renal imaging. This suggests increased echogenicity of the renal parenchyma, potentially indicating conditions such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, or other pathologies affecting the kidney's structure. The loss of cortico-medullary differentiation means that the distinct echogenicity between the renal cortex and medulla is diminished, which can be a sign of underlying renal dysfunction. Further clinical correlation and diagnostic evaluation are typically necessary to determine the exact cause.
Loss of corticomedullary differentiation in the kidney is primarily caused by conditions that lead to renal ischemia, acute tubular injury, or chronic kidney disease. This can occur in scenarios such as acute kidney injury, chronic interstitial nephritis, or glomerular diseases, where the normal distinction between the renal cortex and medulla becomes blurred due to cellular damage, fibrosis, or inflammation. Imaging studies, particularly ultrasound or CT, may reveal this loss, indicating underlying pathology affecting renal function.
Anaplasia means loss of differentiation of cells.
is the loss of cell differentiation and reversion to a more primitive form The loss of cell differentiation and reversion to a more primitive form has happened in the evolutionary history of plant kingdom. This type of simplicity is caused by reduction.
Corticomedullary differentiation on medical diagnostic imaging is the visualisation of the difference of intensity (MRI) , echogenity (Ultrasound) or attenuation (CT) between the cortical and medullary tissue in an organ. For Example; The kidney has a cortex (the peripheral tissue) and a medulla (central to the cortex). On an ultrasound scan, the cortex should look whiter (more echogenic) than the medulla and thus, you should be able see and differentiate between these two different tissues judging by their color.. Loss of corticomedullary differentiation is what its called when both cortex and medulla are seen as the same shade of grey and one can not see any change of color (any change in shade of grey tones as most diagnostic images are black and white) on the border of cortex and medulla.
Epidermopoiesis is the process of epidermal cell development and differentiation in the skin. It involves the proliferation and maturation of keratinocytes, the main cells of the epidermis, leading to the formation of the different layers of the skin.
Healing by first intention occurs in a clean wound with minimal difference between the edges. Healing by second intention occurs when there is a large defect between edges of the wound and when there is excessive tissue loss. Healing takes much longer. Scarring is expected in this case because of extensive loss of parenchyma.
Anaplasia refers to undifferentiated cell growth in a malignant neoplasm (tumor). Lack of differentiation is considered a hallmark of malignancy. The term anaplasia literally means "to form backward." It implies dedifferentiation, or loss of structural and functional differentiation of normal cells. It is now known, however, that at least some cancers arise from stem cells in tissues; in these tumors failure of differentiation, rather than dedifferentiation of specialized cells, account for undifferentiated tumors.
The three basic types of tissue in plants are 1. Dermal 2. Ground 3. Vascular "Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss. The ground tissue comprises the bulk of the primary plant body. Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells are common in the ground tissue. Vascular tissue transports food, water, hormones and minerals within the plant. Vascular tissue includes xylem, phloem, parenchyma, and cambium cells."
1) Dermal tissue system which are the epidermis and the dermis of the plant. 2) Vascular tissue system which are the xylem and phloem. 3) Ground tissue system which are used for support and storage in the plants.
Anaplasia refers to the loss of normal cellular features and organization in a tissue or cell, leading to a lack of differentiation. It is commonly seen in cancer cells and is a hallmark of malignancy, as these cells exhibit increased proliferation and decreased specialization compared to normal cells. Anaplastic cells often have altered nuclear morphology and exhibit high variability in size and shape.
Plant cells are formed at meristems, and then develop into cell types which are grouped into tissues. Plants have only three tissue types: 1) Dermal; 2) Ground; and 3) Vascular. 1)Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of herbaceous plants. Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss. 2)The ground tissue comprises the bulk of the primary plant body. Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells are common in the ground tissue. 3)Vascular tissue transports food, water, hormones and minerals within the plant. Vascular tissue includes xylem, phloem, parenchyma, and cambium cells.
