There are characteristic pathologic findings of acute inflammation and thrombosis (clotting) of arteries and veins of the hands and feet (the lower limbs being more common). The mechanisms underlying Buerger’s disease are still largely unknown. It is suspected that immunological reactions play a role. The association of Buerger’s disease with tobacco use, particularly cigarette smoking, [...]

Replication of HCV involves several steps. The virus replicates mainly in the hepatocytes of the liver, where it is estimated that daily each infected cell produces approximately fifty virions (virus particles) with a calculated total of one trillion virions generated. The virus may also replicate in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, potentially accounting for the high [...]
Fever is a common symptom of many medical conditions: * Infectious disease, ”e.g.”, influenza, HIV, malaria, infectious mononucleosis, or gastroenteritis * Various skin inflammations, ”e.g.”, boils, or abscess * Immunological diseases, ”e.g.”, lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel diseases, Kawasaki disease * Tissue destruction, which can occur in hemolysis, surgery, infarction, crush syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, cerebral hemorrhage, [...]

Nitric oxide (common name) or nitrogen monoxide (systematic name) is a chemical compound with chemical formula NO. This gas is an important signaling molecule in the body of mammals, including humans, and is an extremely important intermediate in the chemical industry. It is also an air pollutant produced by cigarette smoke, automobile engines and power [...]
Disease diagnosis and therapy Detection of particular antibodies is a very common form of medical diagnostics, and applications such as serology depend on these methods. For example, in biochemical assays for disease diagnosis, a titer of antibodies directed against Epstein-Barr virus or Lyme disease is estimated from the blood. If those antibodies are not present, [...]
