Suffer Thyroid Disorders?-Suite101 Is Hyperthyroidism Present in all Graves’ Patients? The point at which hyperthyroidism sets in varies among those found to have the auto-antibodies causing Graves’ disease‚ called “Thyroid Stimulating Immunglobuins” (TSI). Most patients may be positive for these “thyroid antibodies” months or years before the level of them becomes elevated enough to cause hyperthyroidism. The reason this may be the case is due to the fact that most people who are found to have

What are the five classes of antibody? IgG (Immunoglobulin G; 4 subclasses‚ IgG1-4)‚ IgM (Immunoglobulin M)‚ IgA (Immunoglobulin A; 2 subclasses‚ IgA1-2)‚ IgD: (Immunoglobulin D)‚ IgE (Immunoglobulin E) 6.

Primary CMV infection is defined as infection in an individual who has never had a CMV infection before. In primary CMV infection patients‚ the first antibody to appear is the CMV IgM. It can be found as early as four weeks after infection and can remain positive for up to 20 weeks. Other antibodies present in primary CMV infection patients include antibodies to the envelope glycoprotein gB surrounding the cytomegalovirus. CMV presents very similarly to EBV but there are a few differences‚ CMV often has

A vaccine is defined as “a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases‚ prepared from the causative agent of a disease‚ its products‚ or a synthetic substitute‚ treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease” (“The Definition of Vaccine”). In simpler terms‚ a vaccine is an injection of a dead or weakened bacteria or virus that helps the human body produce an immunity to the said bacteria or virus. Vaccines‚ though proved

Introduction Throughout this essay I shall critique the available evidence regarding rheumatoid arthritis (RA); particularly concerning the conclusions on its aetiology‚ diagnosis techniques‚ pharmacological management‚ physical therapeutics and surgical treatment interventions. I shall explore the expected prognosis and the key developments we can expect in the future. Aetiology and Prevalence RA is a chronic‚ systemic and inflammatory disease that progressively impacts peripheral joints

important to know? Existence of different blood groups is the result of the presence of different antigens and antibodies in blood. Blood typing is performed by mixing blood with agglutinins/antibodies. If a sample of blood agglutinates with a serum containing anti-A antibodies‚ the blood contains A antigens. If a sample of blood agglutinates with a serum containing anti-B antibodies‚ the blood type contains B antigens. If the blood agglutinates with both serums‚ it is AB. When no agglutination

Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body after getting the vaccine‚ the antibodies provide protection against that specific infection. Each year‚ scientists find the three to four types of flu that they think will be the most dangerous next year. Those dead viruses are put in flu vaccines. While
