When a breach of security is detected‚ weapons are at the body’s disposal like any soldier. Cells‚ antibodies‚ macrophages and lymphocytes are simply a preview to the large arsenal the body contains. If recognized as a threat‚ the body will do anything in its power to destroy this substance and protect itself. Unfortunately for organ transplant recipients

Glioblastoma (GBM) and the relationship with cancer stem cells Cancer stem cells may originate from normal stem cells‚ progenitor cells or from differentiated cells that revert to a stem-like phenotype. Under certain pressures such as therapy induce pressure the cell stems will potentiate the production of new cells that can be inherently resistance to the treatment that would be used4 . Cancer stem cell is known to have the ability to self-renew and maintain the tumor. Laboratory research have shown

MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION This term refers to the death of a certain segment of the heart muscle (myocardium)‚ usually the result of a focal complete blockage in one of the main coronary arteries or a branch thereof. The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Refer to figure 70 for the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction. This event results in impaired contractility of the heart muscle within seconds‚ and is initially restricted to the affected segment.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)‚ also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy‚ is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may result from epithelial and stromal proliferation‚ impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis)‚ or both. BPH involves the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland. The hyperplasia
