What is the pathophysiology of septicemia?
Septicemia is the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the bloodstream. Once the bacteria enter the bloodstream, the innate immune system is triggered and starts the complement cascade. This then causes the symptoms of acute infection (fever, malaise, dehydration, fatigue). Depending upon the specific bacteria and the host's immune system, the humoral immune system may also kick into gear, producing antibodies against the invading bacteria.
Is fibrosis and granulation tissue the same thing?
No, fibrosis is the abnormal accumulation of fibrin causing adhesions while granulation tissue consists of active fibroblasts along with inflammatory cells, angiogenesis (creation of new blood vessels) and raw/exposed nerves.

What are the examples of social pathology in the workplace?
what are the examples of a social pathology in the work place.
Are prokaryotes mostly heterotrophic?
In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
What is the name given to a person who takes a blood sample?
Many different people can take blood samples, all the way from physicians, to nurses, techs, and phlebotomists.

What is pathological adenopathy?

Cytogenetics is a branch of genetics that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the cell, especially the chromosomes.
TVP of C7, Anterior Scalene, Costoclavicular, and Pectoralis Minor.
Surgical pathology is the study of tissues removed from living patients during surgery to help diagnose a disease and determine a treatment plan. Often, the surgical pathologist provides consultation services in a wide variety of organ symptoms and subspecialties. Surgical pathologists provide diagnostic information and/or second opinions. For example, when performing breast cancer surgery, a surgical pathologist's examination of tissues removed during surgery can help the surgeon to determine whether to remove lymph nodes under the arm, as well.Surgical pathology includes both the physical examination of the tissue with the naked eye, as well as examining processed tissue under a microscope. New techniques of examination of tissue and cell specimens involve molecular diagnostics (DNA/RNA analysis), which involves analyzing DNA and proteins in the blood.
Is it normal to have a lump the size of a golf ball after a core breast biopsy?
This could be acute inflammation as a result of the biopsy - fluid and inflammatory cells should rush into the area to heal the damage of losing a chunk of tissue. If the lump doesn't get smaller within a week of the biopsy being taken, you should talk to your doctor.
Is autopsy pathology a field in pathology?
You need a medical degree. Qualification for autopsy pathology is an additional five months of residency in autopsy. Large hospitals perform 100 to 150 autopsies per year.
There is another field called Forensic Pathology. Medical doctors who specialize in forensic pathology examine bodies for the cause of death. Forensic Pathology is performed by coroners and medical examiners. Contact the National Association of Medical Examiners by writing 430 Pryor St. SW., Atlanta, GA 30312

What kind of information is included in the Aerospace Pathology book?
The Aerospace Pathology book provides a comprehensive overview of the pathological effects of aerospace environments on human health. It covers topics such as the physiological responses to high altitudes, exposure to cosmic radiation, and the impact of microgravity on various organ systems. The book also discusses the implications for flight safety, astronaut health, and the development of countermeasures for potential health issues faced by aerospace personnel. Additionally, it may include case studies, research findings, and practical insights for medical professionals in the aerospace field.
