Essays on Lymph Node

Step1: Patient situation:

The first step in clinical reasoning is to describe the patient in the context of the clinical situation. Ms. Melody King, a 36-year-old female was presented for an emergency laparoscopic surgery for a ruptured appendix. She has a medical history of asthma and depression. Her medication list includes Ventolin, Seretide, Sertraline. Postoperatively, Melody developed peritonitis and was treated with antibiotics and analgesic. The biopsy results of Melody’s sample revealed the presence of adenocarcinoma. Melody will need to undergo a few most test, and till then continue her stay at the hospital. The diagnostic tests: CT scan of chest, ...

Abstract

Paget's disease of the breast is an uncommon kind of cancer of the nipple–areola complex and that is time and again connected to a fundamental in situ or persistent carcinoma. We provide an overview and evaluate the key clinicopathological and healing aspects of mammary Paget's disease. Patients suffering from the Paget disease frequently present with a constant, eczematous skin complaint on the nipple and adjoining areolar skin. Paget's disease of the breast has been acknowledged as a separate clinical unit for over one hundred and twenty years. Since the situation in itself is repeatedly harmless and restricted to ...

Systematic Review of a Case Report

The article is authored by two authors, Tanyi John Tanyi and Julius Atashilli. Both authors contributed to the development and publication of the article. Tanyi John Tanyi managed and followed-up the patient and wrote the original manuscript. Julius Atashilli critically reviewed the manuscript. Both authors read and approved the final manuscript. Therefore, both authors merit inclusion in the authors list (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, 2006). The authors do not provide information on whether they received any funding for the article but they declare no conflicts of interest. On the overall presentation of the case report, it is ...

Seminar: Inflammatory and Immune Mechanisms in Lymphatic Vascular Disease

The YouTube video presented by David Zawieja, talks about immune and inflammatory mechanisms that occur in Lymphatic Vascular diseases. The lymphatic system has a significant role in various essential mechanisms inside the body such as edema resolution, fluid and macromolecular homeostasis, inflammation and antigen trafficking. The primary of the Lymphatic function involves the transportation of Lymphatic substances from the interstitial spaces between the tissues via lymphatic capillary network and nodes that terminate into the venous blood inside the veins. The most significant segment of the lymphatic function is the flow of lymph through multiple nodes. The immune cells like ...

Malignant melanoma is a skin disorder, which produces tumors of melanocytes or tumors of cells produced by melanocytes . The disease was uncommon in the past; however, in the recent years, the number of cases of malignant melanoma increased significantly, especially, the number of deaths due to malignant melanoma. The disease develops in radical and vertical phases. In the radical phase, the malignant cells develop in a radical manner within the epidermis, while in the vertical phase; the malignant cells intrude into the dermis cells. The lesions developed by malignant melanoma are thin, moderate or thick depending upon the depth of the ...

One of the most common disorders involving the lymphatic and immune systems is the Castleman Disease which is now more commonly known as giant lymph node hyperplasia and angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. The condition is most commonly associated to immune disorders like HIV and Human Herpes Virus 8 infections (Schey, Yong, Marcus and Anderson, 2013). The disorder is problemic as the disease process involves the abnormal overgrowth of the lymph nodes (Loachim and Medeiros, 2009) and while it is not a cancer in itself, the disease shows symptoms that are similar to lymphoma which is a cancer of the lymph nodes. ...

Breast cancer is a disease of epithelial cells that line the ducts of the breast. Malignancies of the breast are some of the most common cancers in women (aside from skin cancer) and are responsible for up to one-third of all cancers in women. Mortality because of the cancer is on the decline in the United States due to better detection and treatment. Breast cancer is a clonal disease, meaning that a single transformed cell that eventually expresses full malignant potential causes it. Therefore, it may exist for a long period before it becomes invasive and metastatic (Harrisons, 2008, p.563) The major ...

Definition and history of stomach cancer

Stomach cancer also called gastric cancer is a disease that is characterized by the uninhibited proliferation of abnormal cells in the tissues lining the stomach. These cells are abnormal in the sense that genetic mutations render them autonomous hence they are not under the control of growth regulating signals. Gastric cancer used to be the second most prevalent cancer but sharp declines have been seen in its rate in the developed countries especially over the second half of the last century, for instance it is the fourteenth most common malignancy in the United States. However, the same cannot be said ...

Introduction

Data by the US Institute of Medicine indicates that the number of patients diagnosed with breast cancer yearly stands at an alarming figure of two hundred and fifty thousand. It further shows that breast cancer claims forty thousand lives each year 1. The aforementioned statistics coupled with the fact that current research estimates on the probability of a woman developing breast cancer during the course of her lifetime stand at one out of eight women are the factors that prompted my interest in writing on this particular topic. This paper will therefore focus on the symptoms and treatment of breast ...
