McCance and Huether (2014) defined Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) as a continuum of physiologic derangements characterized by dynamic alterations of two or more organs’ function in a state of critical illness. As the name indicates‚ MODS is a syndrome and not a specific health condition since it involves various organs. In the past‚ “multiple organ failure” was the term used to describe the condition until it became apparent that it was misleading since normal physiological function of

bacterial effector proteins into the target cell‚ by means of a needle like projection‚ they can stimulate host cells to take up the bacterium. In addition‚ new effector proteins are secreted once the bacterium is in the host‚ which will induce apoptosis of this host cell. So in this way‚ the bacteria can evade phagocytosis by killing the phagocyte from the inside. Fig. 2 Type III secretion

ions -DNA replication minimizes errors such as the DNA that is duplicated but changes in the DNA do occur‚ producing mutations. Although most mutations are either neutral or harmful they are also the raw material for evolution. Such mutations from alleles‚ alternate forms of a given gene that may produce differences in structure or function such as black‚ brown or blond hair in humans‚ or different mating calls in frogs.

Erythema multiforme a self limited acute inflammatory disorder affecting skin‚muous membrane or both was first recognized by Bateman and Bulkley in 1817.

According to him the patients with Erythema multiforme should have acrally distributed typical target lesions or raised

The ischemic (ischaemic) cascade is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the brain and other aerobic tissues after seconds to minutes of ischemia (inadequate blood supply).[1] This is typically secondary to stroke‚ injury‚ or cardiac arrest due to heart attack. Most ischemic neurons that die do so due to the activation of chemicals produced during and after ischemia.[2] The ischemic cascade usually goes on for two to three hours but can last for days‚ even after normal blood flow

movement of semen. The formation of the egg within women takes place in their ovaries. About 4 million oocytes have formed in a women body by the time one of the oocyte is created. About 1 million oocytes will linger and the other ones are excluded by apoptosis. Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2 are secondary oocytes. The first meiosis forms an enormous secondary meiosis‚ and a miniature polar body receives a slight more than a single set of chromosome. There is a matter of chance to determine which chromosome would

Introduction Cells are building units of life and perform very important functions in our body. It takes in nutrients and convert it to energy and carry out specialized functions. Cell consists of many organelles which perform various functions. One of the main organelles is mitochondria where cellular respiration to produce energy to regulate cellular metabolism. Per Wang and D. Brinton (2016)‚ mitochondrial DNA undergoes mutation at a higher rate and its repair mechanism is very limited which

Jalapenos have been around since before the Aztec civilization. The Aztecs smoked these peppers to dry them since their thick flesh made sun-drying difficult. When smoked‚ jalapenos are referred to as chipotle peppers. Smoking was necessary since the peppers tended to rot rather than dry out when left in the sun. The Aztecs used jalapenos to flavor meats including venison and seafood. The peppers were an ingredient in the spicy chocolate sauce known as mole in which the meats were sometimes
