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.

my husband has t2 intense foci in the subcortical white matter in the frontal and parietal reigon these are compatible with foci of chronic ischaemic change the finding is related to small vessel disease his mood swings are getting worse would this disease be a part of mood swings.
How long can a stool sample stay good before pathology?
Used to work in a surgery and our max time for stool samples was 2 days before being sent to pathlabs, i imagine they add another day or so before being examined. although I cant comment on how long it 'stays good' for
What is abnormal mucosa in the stomach?
Antrum is the internal lining of the stomach. When the appearance of the lining becomes red or inflamed, a condition called erythema is occurring which will lead to gastritis or peptic ulcer. Erythema is usually caused by high exposure to acid or overdose of medicine intake such as Ibuprofen.
What makes blood?
You might think that the heart makes blood. It just pumps blood throughout the body. The tissue that makes blood is the Bone Marrow. The Bone Marrow is found in the bone arm. It only makes white and red blood cells. It can be found in your arm above the spongy bone.

Bone Marrow when it is healthy
Bone Marrow's color, when it is healthy it looks like pinkish-red. It is filled with many cells that are healthy and productive. When it is seen under a microscope it looks like big dots that are pink and small dots that are red and the gaps between them looks like pinkish-red.
_____________________________________________________________________
Bone Marrow when it is not healthy
When Bone Marrow is not healthy it looks like pink spaces and around it have light green with black dots. It is called "Aplastic" or "empty" marrow. Instead of having it with cells that are healthy and productive, it has fatty filled cells.
Now you might be wondering then what do you do? Read the extras and find out.
_____________________________________________________________________
What is Bone Marrow for
It is to keep you alive by producing blood and sending them to the heart to pump the blood. It is also to replace old red/white cells.
_____________________________________________________________________
Where is Bone Marrow Located
Bone marrow is found in our big bones like the skull, sternum, arm, leg, pelvis. On a bone it is soft on the top or on the bottom inside sometimes in the middle.

EXTRAS
The doctors will have two patients instead of one. The reason that they have two patients is because the other patient give you Bone Marrow. Also you two have the same blood type. Ex: if you have blood "A" the means the other person needs blood "A" or blood "O". (Blood "O" is usable for everyone.)(there are four types blood type A,B and AB are the most common and O is less common and there is plasma they use for emergency cases) The doctors place a tube into your Bone Marrow and the other person and he/she will give you some Bone Marrow. Your body automatically rejects/takes the Bone Marrow. You can not see it reject/take the Bone Marrow with a blind eye. You need a telescope to see it reject/take the Bone Marrow.
Now you might be wondering what happens if you can't make it to the doctor's or you don't have a patient that matches? Then read More Extras.

More Extras
What happens if you can't make it to the doctor's or you don't have a match? Well, most likely when the ambulance comes they will give you plasma. Like I said in the "EXTRAS" plasma is like blood "O". The only difference between plasma and blood "O" is that you can't survive for a long time with only plasma. So you will need a match.

Donating Bone Marrow
When you donate Bone Marrow you need to use your REAL name or you might do it too many times. (about, I think, 2 times a YEAR) You will give them a blood sample to figure out your blood type. You will be called when a person need you and you have the right blood type.

Best person to get Bone Marrow
The best person to get Bone Marrow from is you brothers/sisters. NOT your parents because your brother/sister already has the DNA,genes,etc. from your parents just like you. If you don't have any siblings choose your parents. If you have a twin it will be almost a 100% perfect match.

what are matches, receiver = A donor= A or O / Receiver = b donor = B or O / receiver = AB donor= A or B or AB or O / receiver = O donor = O

FUN FACTS! (FINALLY!)
- Since Bone Marrow makes blood and is located in the bone it is just like saying Bones make blood!
- Although light and squashy it is still pretty strong. Just imagine a jello (those thing that are soft and jiggles all the time) and when you try to break it or cut it in half with your bare hands it will be hard!
- Did you know that the average number of cells in a leg bone is about 440,000,000,000 (440x109).
- Blood type O can be given to anybody, but it can only be given blood type O
say if someone needed a kidney transplant someone would give a kidney that they dont need and it would be helping someone
A kidney transplant... is the removal of a kidney from a healthy donor - to replace a diseased kidney in a poorly patient.
Advantage and disadvantage of nuclear energy?
disad: very toxic waste that if not contained can cause a lot of damage and spread (ie chernobyl) adv: these days waste is contained in state of the art sealed containers and does not otherwise harm anyone. also a small amount of matter creates a large amount of energy... so there is little fear that we will run out of it
What personal qualities needed to do forensic pathology?
Leadership, Patience, Open Mind, Bravery, Steady
Hand, Smart, Fearless.
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."
