Causes of acute adrenal insufficiency are mainly Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, sudden withdrawal of long-term corticosteroid therapy and stress in patients with underlying chronic adrenal insufficiency. The latter is termed critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency. For...

They may be classified according to the means of hemolysis, being either intrinsic in cases where the cause is related to the RBC itself or extrinsic in cases where factors external to the RBC dominate. Intrinsic effects may include problems ...
The cause is unknown, but it may result from either a viral infection or an autoimmune reaction. In the latter case it is a systemic autoimmune disease. Many people diagnosed with dermatomyositis were previously diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis and Epstein-Barr ...
Scleroderma is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis (or hardening), vascular alterations, and autoantibodies. There are two major forms: Limited systemic sclerosis/scleroderma cutaneous manifestations mainly affect the hands, arms and face. Previously called CREST syndrome in reference to ...

Philosophically, A1-B8 is more than just two gene-alleles. These gene-alleles are markers for a haplotype, a stretch of chromsome 6 that contains many gene alleles. In its natural history this haplotype underwent some atypical selection, at the end of the ...

In human disease, alterations in numbers of regulatory T cells – and in particular those that express Foxp3 – are found in a number of disease states. For example, patients with tumors have a local relative excess of Foxp3 positive ...
The nucleus is the largest cellular organelle in animals. In mammalian cells, the average diameter of the nucleus is approximately 6 micrometers (μm), which occupies about 10% of the total cell volume. The viscous liquid within it is called nucleoplasm, ...
Broadly, causes of anemia may be classified as impaired red blood cell (RBC) production, increased RBC destruction (hemolytic anemias), blood loss and fluid overload (hypervolemia). Several of these may interplay to eventually cause anemia. Indeed, the most common cause of ...
Most common causes A common mnemonic for the causes of pancreatitis spells “I get smashed”, an allusion to heavy drinking (one of the many causes): *I – idiopathic. Thought to be hypertensive sphincter or microlithiasis. *G – gallstone. Gallstones that ...
Indole-3-carbinol can shift estrogen metabolism towards less estrogenic metabolites. SLE (or lupus), a currently incurable autoimmune disease, is associated with estrogen. In a study using mice bred to develop lupus, I3C was fed to one group while another group was ...Page 1 of 11
