What Goljan Says !!!

Xeroderma pigmentosa: Autosomal recessive disease. Defect in the DNA repair enzymes. Group of diseases which are also DNA repair enzyme defects ---> BRCA1, BRCA2, P-53. Chromosomal Instabillity syndrome: wiskott aldrich syndrome, bloom syndrome, Ataxia telangiectasia, fanconi's syndrome ---> All of them have problems with DNA repair. Upper Lip: Basal cell. Sq Cell Ca: burns, develops in the draining sinus, also does't heals with antibiotics, constant irritation in the division of cells ---> greater risk of cancer because you are dealing with squamous epithelium not glandular epithelium Lungs: Scar-cancers related to Old TB scar are adenocarcinoma not squamous (related mostly to skin) Only bacteria associated with the cancer ---> H.Pylori ---> Adenocarcinoma and Low Grade Malignant lymphoma.

Grade of the cancer ---> whats it looks like. Urease positive bugs. Renal physiology. This illustration demonstrates the normal kidney physiology.

Renal physiology

It also includes illustrations showing where some types of diuretics act, and what they do. Renal physiology (Latin rēnēs, "kidneys") is the study of the physiology of the kidney. This encompasses all functions of the kidney, including reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules; regulation of sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes; regulation of fluid balance and blood pressure; maintenance of acid-base balance; the production of various hormones including erythropoietin, and the activation of vitamin D Proper function of the kidney requires that it receives and adequately filters blood.

This is performed at the microscopic level by many hundreds of thousands of filtration units called renal corpuscles, each of which is composed of a glomerulus and a Bowman's capsule.

Encapsulated Bacteria. Gray424.png - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromatosis (NF) refers to a number of inherited conditions that are clinically and genetically distinct and carry a high risk of tumor formation, particularly in the brain.[1] Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means only one copy of the affected gene is needed for the disorder to develop.

Neurofibromatosis

Therefore, if only one parent has neurofibromatosis, his or her children have a 50% chance of developing the condition as well (it is rarely the case that one person has the mutated gene twice, which would imply a 100% chance of their children developing NF). The severity in affected individuals can vary; this may be due to variable expressivity. Approximately half of cases are due to de novo mutations and no other affected family members are seen. It affects males and females equally. In addition, some individuals may have mosaic NF, in which some but not all cells of the body carry the mutation.
