Different diseases affecting the urinary system include, diabetes insipidus, renal failure, kidney stones, urinary tract infection, pyuria, hematuria, glucosuria, ketonuria.…
During the time that I provided care for this patient, she was able to use the bathroom without any difficulty. Also, I asked her simple questions to bring up the topic about urine and fecal incontinence. When I asked her, if her urine came out by itself, such as; when she cough, laugh, or had the urge to urinate? The patient stated that she has experienced minimal incontinence only when she coughs and laughs. Additionally, she expressed that during night time she get up two to three times to urinate, but it was not difficult since her bathroom is in her room. Patient indicated that she hasn’t experienced any fecal incontinence since all her life has suffered from mild constipation…

The results of various studies have shown that a response dominated by the production of Th2 cytokines( IL-10 and IL-4) may play an important role in reducing the severity of disease and allowing survival. Role of IL-10 in this conditions is more important [20].…

REASON FOR CONSULT: Acute on chronic renal failure. Patient is an 87 year old Caucasian male who has a history of hypertension, severe peripheral vascular disease, chronic renal insufficiency, and atrial fibrillation. He was admitted yesterday for treatment of an infected toe. The plan was to obtain an angiogram to check patients’ blood flow; however he was discovered on admission labs to have acute on chronic renal failure, patient states he is unaware of kidney problems before. He states he is able to pass his urine without difficulty, no obstructive symptoms, no history of kidney stones, no urinary tract infections, no hematosis, no dysuria, and no diabetes mellitus. Patient states he has a history of hypertension, but it has been very mild. He has had trouble with vascular disease to both legs.…
In 1956, Denham Harman articulated the free radical theory of aging which states that ‘oxygen free radicals that are formed endogenously in live cells result in a pattern of cumulative damage’(9). The theory is also implied that the target of those radicals in the cellular system is random. In live cells, DNA, protein and lipid are targets for the free radical’s invasion. Damaging any of those vital macromolecules in live cell affects the physiology of the cell and may lead to apoptosis and cell death. Cell injury caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), radicals such as hydroxyl radical (OH∙) and the nonradicals like hydrogen peroxide H2O2, appears to be a measure contributor for many aging diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular…
“Common biochemical themes are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance, 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury, free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury, and chemical injury.…
Bladder dysfunction might occur due to lesion block or delay the transmission of nerve signals to the central nervous system that control the bladder and urinary sphincters. This cause the patient to frequently urinate, incontinence and inability to empty the bladder completely.…
Ageing can be defined as a gradual change in an organism that leads to increased risk of weakness, disease, and death. It takes place in a cell, an organ, or the total organism over the entire adult life span of any living thing. There is a decline in biological functions and in ability to adapt to metabolic stress. Changes in organs include the replacement of functional cardiovascular cells with fibrous tissue. Overall effects of aging include reduced immunity, loss of muscle strength, decline in memory and other aspects of cognition, and loss of color in the hair and elasticity in the skin. In women, the process accelerates after menopause.…

(A) Kinetics of C3 binding on red cells from a representative PNH patient during eculizumab treatment. Before treatment (0 wks) no red cell binds C3, whereas starting from 1 weeks of treatment three populations of red cells are displayed: one population of normal red cells (CD59+C3-) and two distinct populations of PNH (CD59-negative) red cells, one with (C3+) and one without (C3-) fragments bound on their surface.…
