the pathophysiology of complicated appendicitis will be discussed first. Then‚ secondary peritonitis and sepsis will follow. Complicated Appendicitis and Peritonitis The pathogeneses of appendicitis believed to be from obstruction of appendiceal lumen by bacteria‚ stool‚ lymphoid hyperplasia‚ intraluminal scarring‚ tumors‚ or foreign body (Jacobs‚ 2014). The obstruction may lead to bacterial overgrowth and luminal distension which may interfere with the flow of lymph and blood (Jacobs‚ 2014). At

Why Bees are the Bee’s Knees: The Economic Importance of Bees As Pollinators Introduction Bees have indirectly contributed to the United States’ economy for hundreds of years. Dozens of industries have flourished and thrived off the backs of these tiny insects‚ and without them‚ the average American lifestyle would not exist. As a society‚ we are dependent on bees to pollinate our crops and provide us with honey‚ which in the U.S. alone was worth $317 million in 2013 (“Honey Industry Facts”). Bees

play a role. In summary the pathophysiology of an acute coronary event includes (1) endothelial damage through plaque disruption‚ irregular luminal lesions‚ and shear injury; (2) platelet aggregation; (3) thrombus formation causing partial or total lumen occlusion; (4) coronary artery vasospasm; and (5) reperfusion injury caused by oxygen free radicals‚ calcium‚ and neutrophils. In patients with non-infarction ACS‚ spontaneous fibrinolysis of the thrombus occurs rapidly‚ minimizing ischemic insult;

inflammation involves solidification of gallstones in the biliary tract‚ usually in the gallbladder. Therefore‚ the gallstone can cause obstruction of the cystic duct. Cholelithiasis is the pathologic state of stones or calculi within the gallbladder lumen. Gallstone disease has four stages such as‚ the lithogenic state‚ in which conditions favor gallstone formation‚ asymptomatic gallstones‚ symptomatic gallstones‚ characterized by episodes of biliary colic‚ and the complicated cholelithiasis (Portincasa

Case Study 1: Zachary’s Story Mike Myers A&P Instructor: Dr. Lok 7-26-15 A) If an ulcer starts eroding the mucosa of the GI track absorption would not happen correctly and some of the ingested and secreted products may seep out of the lumen. When the ulcer makes its way through the muscularis mucosa this would create a way for pathogens to enter. He could also loss control of defecation. B) The condition known as peritonitis is when an ulcer eats a hole in the wall of the stomach and

The principal structure of the digestive system is an irregular tube‚ open at both ends‚ called the alimentary (al-i-MEN-tar-ee) canal or the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the adult‚ this hollow tube is about 9 meters (29 feet) long Think of the tube as a passageway that extends through the body like a hallway through a building. Food must be broken down or digested and then absorbed through the walls of the digestive tube before it can actually enter the body and be used by cells The teeth
