Pathology
Pathology is the scientific study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences. It deals with the study of mechanisms and manifestations of disease, and involves the study of bodily changes that occur as the result of disease. This category is for questions about pathology, the study of disease and its causes, development, and consequences.

Who should not have a thyroid biopsy?
A patient with a bleeding disorder should not have a biopsy unless the bleeding problem can be corrected by a transfusion of the cells that cause blood to clot (platelets).
Does blood come from veins or arteries for tests?
Blood donations or blood taken for tests at a laboratory are taken from a vein.
Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear reactor?
One of the advantages of the nuclear reactors is that they do not produce smoke particles that pollute the environment and therefore lead to the acidic rainfall. The other advantage is that it is easier to control the output of a nuclear reactor to fit a given need. One of the disadvantage of the nuclear reactors is that the disposal of the nuclear waste is very expensive.
Why does Atherosclerosis occur in arteries and not in veins?
Atherosclerosis occurs when LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) get oxidized. Since the plasma in the arteries contains plenty of oxygen to oxidize the LDL's it occurs mostly in arteries. In the veins, there is little oxygen to be found, so it is much more likely to happen in the arteries for that reason.
What is the scientific name of the ability to do work?
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.
The word "able" applies to a capable of doing work, or doing it correctly.
What disease is characterized by an inadequate number of red blood cells?
Anemia is a condition characterized by a low number of red blood cells, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Causes of anemia can vary, including nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, or genetic factors. Blood tests are typically used to diagnose anemia and determine the underlying cause.
What happens if ventricle not work properly?
Due to many reasons, ventricles start functioning less efficiently. (Even if there is backlog of 0.1 ml/ beat, you have 1 ml/ 10 beats and good amount falls back in a day's time.) So there is stagnation on left or right venous side, causing respective ventricular failure. If both function less than normal, you have congestive cardiac failure.
Is Klebsiella pneumoniae in the bladder contagious?
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a highly contagious bacteria that can infect any body organ or tissue, although (as you might guess from the name) it is generally associate with lung infections.
Methods of inoculation include urinary catheter placement, poor personal hygiene and anatomic or genetic predisposition to bladder infections in general.
Class diagram for pathology lab management?
Class Diagram for Pathology Lab Management is a diagram of the classes that help to organize the setup of the lab. Some of the important classes may be the following:
Patient - The person to whom the test is applied. This class stores information related to the patient's name, age, sex, problem, etc.
Order - This class stores information related to the number of tests and tests to be applied for.
Test - This class stores the information related to the test like test name, test fee, etc.
Sample - This class stores the samples that are sent to the lab for testing.
Testing - This class tests the sample for testing and issues the report.
What is a laser procedure during a cone biopsy?
tissue may also be removed using a carbon dioxide laser (called laser conization).
Is WBCs are stained with supravital stain used for retic?
Yes, white blood cells (WBCs) can be stained with supravital stains, which are typically used to visualize reticulocytes (immature red blood cells). Supravital staining helps to highlight cellular features and activity in living cells without killing them. This technique can provide valuable information about the morphology and functionality of WBCs in various clinical contexts.
Why would the kidneys continue to produce excessive kidney stones despite surgery to remove them?
Because kidney stones are caused by (not only) soda. If you continue to drink it you will keep getting them. (Just removing them does not mean they can't come back.)
Soda by itself is not the lone cause for Kidney Stones in most people. You should consult your doctor. Kidney Stones can be made of more than one type of material. For example, if your stone is made of calcium oxylate, the doctor will tell you to reduce or avoid foods or drinks high in oxylates. Sodas are usually not a problem for people in this group. But strawberries, blackberrys, milk chocolate, oats (as in oatmeal and cherrios), black tea are. Once you know what your stones are made of, then you'll be able to pursue your options.
What is antritis with a biopsy to rule out CLO?
Antritis is inflammation of the gastric antrum. CLO is campylobacter-like organism, which can cause gastritis. Biopsy is a tissue sample for examination at the lab, and "rule out" means "make sure it's not this problem." So, to sum up, the diagnosis and plan are "inflammation of the lining of the stomach at the antrum with a tissue sample taken to make sure the problem isn't caused by a bacterium similar to campylobacter."
What is an alternative to a cone biopsy?
Cryotherapy (freezing and destroying of abnormal cells) or laser vaporization (using a laser to destroy abnormal cells) may be used to treat early-stage cancer. A hysterectomy may be necessary
