The proliferative, or severe, forms of retinopathies include the defects identified by newly grown blood vessels, by scar tissue formed within the eye,
Retinopathies are divided into two broad categories: simple or nonproliferative retinopathies and proliferative retinopathies.
The simple retinopathies include the defects identified by bulging of the vessel walls, by bleeding into the eye, by small clumps of dead retinal cells called cotton wool exudates, and by closed vessels.
The proliferative endometrium is what is shed from the uterus when a woman has her cycle. A slightly disordered endometrium is a form of cancer.
There are a number of examples of proliferative disorders. Some of these include leukemia, as well as cancer. Proliferative disorders are a family of diseases that share the characteristic of multiplying cells too rapidly.
Surgery with lasers can help to prevent blindness or lessen any losses in vision.
Acute inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling
A proliferative disorder is one in which too many of some type of cell are produced. For example, leukemia is a proliferative disorder characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production) i.e. overproduction of white blood cells.
Growing rapidly in number.
Nonrenewing or permanent cells. They have no proliferative capacity. They never seem to decide. Have a long life span and live in protected environments. Eg. Neurons, cardiac muscle cells
The proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle is characterized by the thickening of the endometrial lining in response to rising estrogen levels. It is a preparatory phase for potential implantation of a fertilized egg.
The proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle is the phase following ovulation and before menstruation. During this phase the uterine lining develops in order to support the growth of the embryo if the woman falls pregnant.
The ovarian phase that corresponds with the proliferative phase in the uterus is the follicular phase. It is characterized by follicle development in the ovary and an increase in estrogen levels, which triggers the thickening of the endometrial lining in the uterus in preparation for implantation.
