Cerebral overregulation in response to high systemic blood pressure results in vasospasm of cerebral arteries, under perfusion of the brain, localised ischaemia/infarction, and cytotoxic (intracellular) oedema. Hydrophilic substances such as calcium polycarbophil (FiberCon, Equalactin), methylcellulose (Citrucel), and various psyllium seed derivatives (Metamucil) are natural or synthetic fiber supplements that bind water and bile salts and may be useful in controlling diarrhea associated with the passing of excessively watery stools. Owing to the younger age of onset observed in type 2 diabetes in Far Eastern, Middle Eastern, Hispanic American, African, South Asian, and Caribbean women, the prevalence of diabetes may be as high as one in ten pregnancies in some of these communities. The central portion of the adrenal gland, the medulla, is composed of a parenchyma of large, pale-staining epithelioid cells called chromaffin cells (medullary cells), connective tissue, numerous sinusoidal blood capillaries, and nerves. The mucous polyp is soft, strawberry-red, and pedunculated, and contains cystic spaces filled with glairy mucus. In developing countries, with rampant problems of chronic giardiasis or amoebiasis, this may be a relevant consideration. Evaluation of ovarian functionality after a dietary treatment in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. As a general rule, the cervix should dilate at the rate of at least 1 cm per hour once the active phase of labour has been reached. Malignant disease the smear test is a screening test for premalignant disease and not a diagnostic test for cervical cancer. Other hormones secreted by islet cells include somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, motilin, and substance P. The epithelium of the initial segments of the respiratory bronchioles contains both ciliated cells and Clara cells. These events are followed by concomitant invagination of the optic vesicles and the lens the transparent cornea. Sound Perception As described on page 937, sound waves striking the tympanic membrane are translated into simple mechanical vibrations. They ultimately form the four pulmonary veins that return blood to the left atrium of the heart. In addition, during the chromosome pairing in prophase I of meiosis, chromosome segments are exchanged, crossing-over, creating genetic diversity. Both oral and parenteral gold therapy frequently produces dermatitis, usually preceded and accompanied by pruritus. The endometrium is relatively thin at this phase and over half of it consists of the stratum basale. Pyloric glands are branched and lined with cells resembling the surface mucous cells and occasional enteroendocrine cells. The tarsal glands (Meibomian glands), long sebaceous glands embedded in the tarsal plates, appear as vertical yellow streaks in the tissue deep in the conjunctiva. Note a cross-section of the thick longitudinally arranged smooth muscle bundle in part of its wall. In this way, vibrations of different wavelengths are generated in the passing air, and sound is produced. The other network is located more deeply in the substance of the kidney and drains into large lymphatic vessels in the renal sinus. Caution is necessary when docusate is prescribed together with mineral oil, since the detergent increases the absorption of the oil. An impregnating spermatozoon generates a molecular signal for resumption and termination of the second meiotic division. It is best to examine low-magnification views of the liver to define the boundaries of a lobule. Vessels of the Retina the central retinal artery and central retinal vein, the vessels that can be seen and assessed with an ophthalmoscope, pass through the center of the optic nerve to enter the bulb of the eye at the optic disc. If more than one profile of a vein is present within this connective tissue, but no arteries or bile ducts are present, the second vessel will also be a hepatic vein. Blood dyscrasias responsible for vaginal bleeding in a child are listed in Table 1. This barrier is essential in creating a physiologic compartmentalization within the seminiferous epithelium with respect to ionic, amino acid, carbohydrate, and protein composition. This high-magnification view of the crista ampullaris from the anterior semicircular canal shows a thick sensory epithelium that contains two types of cells: the hair cells in the upper layer and the supporting cells in the basal layer. The pharmacology of antibiotics, immunosuppressive drugs, and corticosteroids is discussed in Chapters 43, 57, and 60, respectively.

The medulla consists of renal pyramids, which have their base facing the cortex and their apex in the form of a papilla (P) directed toward the hilum. It consists of 30 to 50 tubuloalveolar glands arranged in three concentric layers: an inner mucosal layer, an intermediate submucosal layer, and a peripheral layer containing the main prostatic glands. The cell bodies of parasympathetic neurons are often present near the porta hepatis. Clinical examination reveals a mass which is very tender, with indistinct margins and localised peritonitis. There is no increased risk of thromboembolism with this drug in this high-risk group of women. As the cells of the glandular portion proliferate by mitotic division, the ducts branch and alveoli begin to develop at their growing ends. It can be followed toward the right into the duodenum but is then interrupted in the region between the two asterisks. Peristalsis, the second type of contraction, involves coordinated action of both circular and longitudinal muscle layers and moves the intestinal contents distally. All hair cells of the internal ear appear to function by moving (pivoting) their rigid stereocilia. Type I alveolar cells are extremely thin squamous cells that line 95% of the alveolar surface and form the barrier between the air space and the septal wall. Bacterial conjunctivitis often shows an opaque purulent discharge containing white cells and desquamated epithelial cells. The active proteases hydrolyze peptide bonds of proteins or polypeptides and reduce them to small peptides and amino acids. It is highly convoluted near the testis, where it is surrounded by the pampiniform venous plexus, which carries blood from the testis to the abdominal veins. The apical portion of each pyramid, which is known as the papilla, projects into a minor calyx, a cup-shaped structure that represents an extension of the renal pelvis. These substances then diffuse or flow down their concentration gradients within the intercellular space to cross the epithelial basal lamina and enter the fenestrated capillaries in the lamina propria located immediately beneath the epithelium. Alveoli are the terminal air spaces of the respiratory system and are the actual sites of gas exchange between the air and the blood. Surface mucous cells line the inner surface of the stomach and the gastric pits, which are the openings into the branched fundic glands. A fibrillar cross-link called the tip link the stereocilia of hair cells have a molecular structure similar to those described on page 110. Two pairs of globin chains (two alpha and two beta) are attached to the pyrrole rings to make up normal Hb. The auricle is considered a nearly vestigial structure in humans, compared with its development and role in other animals. Sounds created in the larynx during the process of phonation are modified in upper parts of the respiratory system (nasopharynx, nasal cavities, and paranasal sinuses) and the oral cavity (oropharynx, soft and hard palate, tongue, teeth, lips, etc. When the plane of section is normal to the surface, the mucosal ridges appear as "villi. Complex neural mechanisms coordinate eye movements, enabling us to perceive depth and distance to achieve a three-dimensional image. The logic of her therapy is as follows: Oxygen is needed in patients with peak flow rates less than 30% of their predicted value; epinephrine is a bronchodilator (-adrenergic effect) and vasoconstrictor that prevents further angioedema (-adrenergic effect); diphenhydramine is an H1 antihistamine; albuterol is a 2-adrenergic agonist; prednisone (a glucocorticoid) is the most effective drug for asthma. As stated, very few of the ovarian follicles that begin their differentiation in the embryonic ovary are destined to Several gene products regulate the process of follicular atresia. These glands, like the serous glands associated with the circumvallate papillae, have ducts (D) that empty into the base of the clefts between papillae. The largest prospective study of B19 infection in 1018 pregnant women reported that the risk of fetal loss in pregnancies infected before and after 20 weeks of gestation is 11 per cent and 1 per cent respectively.

Un-ionized drugs, such as nitroglycerin, take advantage of these tissue characteristics and diffuse rapidly across the oral mucosa into the bloodstream. Lung function testing, as with the other interstitial lung diseases, reveals a reduced transfer factor (diffusion capacity). Long-term outcomes of pregnancy and vaginal delivery in such patients are positive. Due to the anatomic position of the posterior semicircular canal (it has an opening inferior to the macula), the detached otoconia almost always (81% to 90%) enter this canal. Highly fractionated lowmolecular-weight iron dextran can be used with minimum side effects. It contains considerable amounts of antibodies (mainly secretory IgA) that provide the newborn with some degree of passive immunity. The inner layer of vessels, arranged in a single plane, is called the choriocapillary layer. In many aspects, the optical system of the eye is far more elaborate and complex than a camera. It consists of interweaving bundles of smooth muscle cells in an extensive, continuous network of fibrous connective tissue. Thin descending limb is the continuation of the proximal straight tubule within the medulla. This process begins as early as the fifth month of fetal life and is mediated by apoptosis of cells surrounding the oocyte. About 3 weeks ago the asthma symptoms were increasing in frequency and severity, prompting his pulmonologist to prescribe oral theophylline on top of the inhaled corticosteroid and adrenoceptor agonist that the patient was already taking. Typically, the blood capillaries are of the fenestrated type and collect most of the absorbed metabolites. Several other named cell types of unknown function are also present in the spiral organ. Aspects specific to the pregnancy include: a history of pain; a history of bleeding; concerns from previous ultrasound scans. A transverse section through the tubule usually reveals only one pattern of cell associations. The urinary bladder is also lined by transitional epithelium and possesses many mucosal folds, except in the trigone region. Therefore, the bronchial and pulmonary circulations anastomose at about the level of the junction between the conducting and respiratory passages. The color of the iris depends on the number of stromal melanocytes scattered throughout the connective tissue stroma. Cells of striated ducts have numerous infoldings of the basal plasma membrane that contain mitochondria. They are caused by injury to small labial or vulvar vessels, the inferior vesical or vaginal branch of the uterine arteries, or branches of the inferior rectal arteries. Mesodermal epithelium (coelomic mesothelium) lines the urogenital ridges and gives rise to finger-like epithelial cords called primary sex cords. Without this simple investigation, it is impossible to manage the patient correctly or make any sensible assumptions about the cause of breathlessness. Small doses of uricosuric agents will actually decrease the total excretion of urate by inhibiting its tubular secretion. Conductive hearing loss results when sound waves are mechanically impeded from reaching the auditory sensory receptors within the internal ear. Blood should be taken for a complete blood count, liver function tests, urea and electrolytes, creatinine, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and thrombophilia screen if a secondary cause is suspected. Other risk factors for ectopic pregnancy are previous ectopic pregnancy, tubal damage including previous sterilisation and infection, and a history of fertility problems.

This gives the liver the first exposure to metabolic substrates and nutrients; it also makes the liver the first organ exposed to noxious and toxic substances absorbed from the intestine. Excretion (A) and drug clearance (E) are factors involved in drug elimination, while absorption (B) describes the ability of a drug to cross membranes and enter the blood stream. The lower panel shows at higher magnification the endometrial glands that extend from the stratum basale to the surface. All subsequent embryonic and fetal development occurs within the uterus, which undergoes dramatic increases in size and development. It consists of three cellular layers that are distinct in both appearance and origin. Lactation is under the neurohormonal control of the adenohypophysis and hypothalamus. Teratogenic effects of the piperazine antihistamines have been shown in animal studies. However, immunocytochemical studies indicate that some gonadotropes may produce only one hormone or the other. This drug is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus nephritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Glucagon also stimulates proteolysis to promote gluconeogenesis, mobilizes fats from adipose cells (lipolysis), and stimulates hepatic lipase. D cells constitute about 5% to 10% of the total pancreatic endocrine tissue and are also located peripherally in the islets. Note that the air spaces are filled with exudate containing white blood cells (mainly neutrophils), red blood cells, and fibrin. Androgens, mainly testosterone, are essential for spermatogenesis, play an important role in embryonic development of the male embryo into the phenotypic male fetus, and are responsible for sexual dimorphism (male physical and behavioral characteristics). If raised intracranial pressure is suspected (if papilloedema is detected), lumbar puncture should be delayed until after neuroimaging, unless meningitis is the likely cause, in which case it should be performed as soon as possible. It is particularly rich in polyanions, such as heparan sulfate, that specifically impede the passage of negatively charged molecules. Their apical surfaces exhibit numerous short microvilli projecting into the lumen of the bile duct. Sperm cells acquire motility, undergo further maturation, and are stored in the epididymis before ejaculation. Normally, water, carbon dioxide, metabolic waste products, and hormones are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood; water, oxygen, metabolites, electrolytes, vitamins, hormones, and some antibodies pass in the opposite direction. These tumors represent rare neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas that often secrete hormonally active agents, causing distinct clinical syndromes. Proinsulin is a single polypeptide chain of 81 to 86 amino acids that has the approximate shape of the letter G. This photomicrograph shows an islet of Langerhans obtained from rat pancreas stained with a special Grimelius silver stain that reacts with glucagon-secreting cells. In contrast to ciliated cells, the number of mucous cells increases during chronic irritation of the air passages. The scleral venous sinus (canal of Schlemm) is located in close proximity to this angle and drains the aqueous humor to regulate intraocular pressure. Transmission electron micrograph of the kinocilium (K) and stereocilia (S) of a vestibular hair cell in cross-section. In addition to eccrine sweat glands, which discharge their secretions directly onto the skin, the eyelid contains four other major types of glands. Recently, large epidemiological studies revealed that the proportion of men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer but never develop associated clinical problems may range from 23% to 66%. Anatomical causes often result in continuous leakage of urine, whereas leakage tends to be episodic if the cause is dysfunction. Other causes Disordered haemostasis Many medical conditions can lead to disordered haemostasis, some of which are associated with pregnancy. They are represented by ciliated epithelial cells extending to the surface, where they possess cilia; goblet cells with mucinogen granules; and basal cells, which are confined to the basal portion of the epithelial layer near the connective tissue. The tubuli recti lead to the rete testis, a complex series of anastomosing channels in the mediastinum testis that is the termination of the intratesticular tubule system.

However, it may occur if there are additional demands on an already diseased heart, such as fluid overload during labour or severe hypertension following the administration of ergometrine, and should be suspected when significant chest pain precedes the collapse. For this reason, these complexes are termed gold preparations or gold compounds in this chapter. It is estimated in humans that the total Leydig cell population produces about 7 mg of testosterone per day. The most significant factors that cause sphincter damage include forceps delivery and a previous sphincter injury. The mucous neck cells are also the stem cells that divide to give rise to the surface mucous cells and the gland cells. The rods and cones are the outer segments of photoreceptor cells whose nuclei form the outer nuclear layer of the retina. The aetiology remains uncertain, but is perhaps related to accelerated platelet consumption. It is always worthwhile to warn the couple that the expected date and time of the previous delivery could possibly be emotionally difficult for them. In the adult human liver, there are more than 2 km of interconnecting bile ductules and ducts of different sizes and shapes. The proliferative phase, that is, the time during which the follicle (the egg) develops, is the variable part of the cycle. Although a convenient term, it is a misnomer because one or more vessels of the lymphatic drainage system of the liver always travel with the vein, artery, and bile duct. Furthermore, signs of peritonitis in abdominal swellings of an inflammatory nature can be markedly altered, possibly resulting in misdiagnosis with potential serious consequences. The tracheal cartilages, which number about 16 to 20 in humans, represent the next layer of the tracheal wall. Tranexamic acid (an inhibitor of fibrinolysis) is sometimes used also to assist in controlling bleeding in pregnancy. A cells contain secretory granules about 250 nm in diameter that are more uniform in size and more densely packed in the cytoplasm than the granules of B cells. The outer segment is the site of photosensitivity, and the inner segment contains the metabolic machinery that supports the activity of the photoreceptor cells. Topical and oral bexarotene are approved for earlystage (patch and plaque) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that is refractory to at least one other therapy. A provocative factor such as prolonged allergen exposure or a respiratory infection often precedes status asthmaticus. However, all first and second-degree tears should be meticulously sutured for optimum outcome. These hormones maintain the corpus luteum and stimulate it to continue the production of progesterone and estrogens. Such findings corroborate earlier studies showing delayed wound healing in standardized mucosal wounds after rinsing with 0. In contrast to systemically administered corticosteroids, inhaled agents are either poorly absorbed or rapidly metabolized and inactivated and thus have greatly diminished systemic effects relative to oral agents. Hydraulic pressure moves fluid through the capillary wall in the direction of the interstitial tissues. The barrier aids in protection of the individual from the entry of antigens, pathogens, and other noxious substances. It is very effective for many dermatophyte infections, especially those of the nails, with which it may permit shorter courses of therapy than other drugs. However, the compound is rapidly released from oral tissues, resulting in relatively poor antiplaque properties as assessed in clinical studies of plaque formation. If a tuberculous infection is suspected, the uterine curettings should be examined for the typical tubercles and the organism isolated by culture. The introduction of a specific antigen- usually in food or in injected material-into a sensitized individual can cause the rapid release of mast cell contents, producing a decrease in blood pressure, impaired respiratory function, abdominal cramps, and urticaria. Moreover, the longitudinal layer is absent from much of the anterior and posterior stomach surfaces, and the circular layer is poorly developed in the periesophageal region.

The anaesthetic management of caesarean section followed by repair of aortic dissection should minimise fetal exposure to depressant drugs while ensuring a wellcontrolled haemodynamic environment for the mother. These treatments for ulcerative disease have made the common surgical interventions of the past infrequent. A smooth muscle layer in the excurrent ducts first appears at the beginning of the efferent ductules. Female Reproductive System Involution of the Mammary Gland the mammary gland atrophies or its specialized stroma involutes after menopause. Precursor molecules are transported back and forth between the two organs to enable synthesis of glucocorticoids, aldosterone, androgens, and estrogens. In general, coagulopathy due to consumption is more readily corrected (once bleeding is arrested) than that due to a coagulopathic condition of pregnancy. These lines define a roughly triangular block of tissue that includes those portions of three classic lobules that secrete the bile that drains into its axial bile duct. Photomicrograph of a sagittal section of the eyelid stained with picric acid for better visualization of epithelial components of the skin and the numerous glands. Supporting cells are the most numerous cells in the olfac- Respiratory System tory epithelium. In histologic sections, the presence of these glands often aids in identifying the specific segment or region of the tract. If delay in the established first stage of labour is suspected, amniotomy should be considered for all women with intact membranes, following explanation of the procedure and advice that it will shorten her labour by about an hour and may increase the strength and pain of her contractions. From the center of the optic nerve (clinically called the optic cup), central retinal vessels emerge. An examination by the dentist should eliminate many of the potential systemic issues that can affect the periodontium of this patient. Decidual pseudopolyp: during gestation, decidual change can occur on the ectocervix, with the finding of a raised plaque or pseudopolyp and, as a consequence, can be mistaken for invasive carcinoma. Prolonged dietary deficiency of vitamin A leads to the inability to see in dim light (night blindness). Hypergastrinemia has been noted as a reaction to the marked reduction in acid secretion. The glands empty into deep gastric pits that occupy about half the thickness of the mucosa. The nucleus is spherical, and the cytoplasm stains with eosin and other acidic dyes. The inferior hypophyseal artery provides the blood supply to the pars nervosa and has very few (if any) connections with the hypothalamohypophyseal portal system. Causes of genital abnormality in a neonate Conceptually, it is simpler to think of the causes in terms of histology of the gonads, which dictates the prognosis with regard to fertility. This function is greatly increased after splenectomy when it is then essential for red blood cell disposal. It is wise to consider the possibility of other fetal presentations in cases of prolonged labour. Clinically, it presents as a diffuse pinkness of the conjunctiva with particularly numerous lymphoid follicles on the palpebral conjunctiva, often accompanied by enlarged preauricular lymph nodes. Most of the above points can also be utilized in distinguishing the straight portions of the proximal and distal thick segments in the medullary rays, as shown in figure on right. Hence recurrent miscarriages may occur due to a variety of causes, some well understood and others less so. The umbilical vein is similar to the arteries, also having a thick muscular wall arranged as an inner longitudinal and an outer circular layer. These cells constitute the amplifying compartment of the cells that are still capable of cell division and usually undergo one or two divisions before they become committed to differentiation into either absorptive or goblet cells. The dramatic effect of posture in the context of a history of spinal or epidural anaesthesia/analgesia usually makes the diagnosis straightforward.

For instance, in a chronic superficial inflammation of the colon and rectum known as ulcerative colitis, the formation of granulation tissue is associated with proliferation of blood and lymphatic vessels within the lamina propria. Many patients develop fever in the first few days after major surgery, and most of the time this is due to an inflammatory response and resolves spontaneously. The Ca2 propagates a cortical reaction wave in which cortical granules move to the surface and fuse with the oolemma, leading to a transient increase in surface area of the ovum and reorganization of the membrane. Although nuclei of other cells reside at this same general level within the epithelium, they are relatively sparse. The secretory function of the mucosa provides lubrication and delivers digestive enzymes, hormones, and antibodies into the lumen of the alimentary tube. The movement of a particular chromosome of a homologous pair to either pole of the spindle is random. Later development depends on activation of the embryonic genome, which encodes various growth factors, cell junction components, and other macromolecules required for normal progression to the blastocyst stage. It has been shown to cause a major decrease in sperm count and infertility after human exposure. Note that a mesangial cell produces extracellular mesangial matrix, which provides support for the glomerular capillaries. Ecchymosis (subcutaneous collection of blood following rupture of small blood vessels) is common in premature babies. Confirming the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism takes second place to resuscitation. This movement deflects the basilar membrane and spiral organ of Corti to generate electrical nerve impulses, which are perceived by the brain as sounds. Vasa recta containing descending arterioles and ascending venules act as countercurrent exchangers. Transport across the cell membrane is essential for thyroid hormone action and metabolism. Principal (chief) cells, the more numerous of the parenchymal cells of the parathyroid. In the patient with malignancy, delaying surgical, chemotherapy or radiation therapy carries an unknown risk to the patient. A summary of digestion and absorption of the three major nutrients is outlined in the following paragraphs. As mentioned in the chapter on epithelial tissue (page 146), expression of the transcription factor Math1 appears to determine the fate of differentiating cells in the intestinal stem cell niche. Early involvement of microbiologists can be invaluable in seriously ill patients and in those who fail to respond to conventional antibiotics. The submucosa consists of dense irregular connective tissue that contains the larger blood vessels and nerves. Adrenal medulla, zones of the cortex, and features of basic cell types and their secretory products are noted. In addition, it is important to understand that the glomerular filtration barrier is not a passive but an active structure that can remodel itself and modify its own permeability. The wall of the eye consists of three concentric layers or coats: the retina, the inner layer; the uvea, the middle or vascular layer; and the corneosclera, the outer fibrous layer. This electron micrograph shows organelles and other cytoplasmic structures near the nucleus (N). Each nephron and its connecting tubule (which connects to a collecting duct in the medullary ray) form the uriniferous tubule. If an infection develops in a person taking etanercept, he or she should be closely monitored. Under normal conditions, the absorption of fluid by the villus enterocyte is balanced by the secretion of fluid by the gland enterocyte. Clinical symptoms of retinal detachment include visual sensations commonly described as a "shower of pepper" or floaters.

Secretory IgA prevents the attachment and invasion of viruses and bacteria into the mucosa by either inhibiting their motility, causing microbial aggregation, or masking pathogen adhesion sites on the epithelial surface. A longstanding history of altered bowel habit (mainly constipation) is usually present. Movement of the otoliths is detected by the hair bundles, which activate the mechanically gated ion channels to generate action potential. Adapalene Adapalene (Differin) is a polyaromatic retinoidlike compound that binds to specific retinoic acid nuclear receptors and is thought to normalize the differentiation of keratinocytes in the sebaceous acroinfundibulum. Respiratory system: increased respiratory rate, chest wall tenderness, chest wall masses, tracheal deviation, dullness to percussion, crackles, bronchial breathing, reduced or absent breath sounds on auscultation. Diarrhoea and mucus mixed with darker blood suggests colitis or a lesion in the large bowel. In addition, epithelial cells lining the thick ascending limb produce an 85 kDa protein called uromodulin (Tamm-Horsfall protein) that influences NaCl reabsorption and urinary concentration ability. C peptide measurements are frequently used to assess the residual B-cell function in patients treated with insulin, to distinguish between types 1 and 2 diabetes, and in the diagnosis and monitoring therapy of insulinoma (tumor of B cells). Examination of the Pap smear provides valuable diagnostic information about the epithelium regarding pathologic changes, response to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, and the microbial environment of the vagina. Autoradiographic studies have demonstrated that rods form new discs by infolding of the plasma membrane throughout their life span. This neural control of insulin and glucagon may contribute to the availability of circulating glucose in stress reactions. The walls of the auditory tube are normally pressed together but separate during yawning and swallowing. Increased fragmentation does not affect fertilisation but does result in decreased pregnancy and increased miscarriage rates. Box 8 the criteria for the diagnosis of toxic megacolon One of the following: Dehydration Electrolyte imbalance Altered mental state Hypotension Three of the following: Fever Tachycardia (greater than 120 bpm) Increased white cell count Anaemia X-ray findings of transverse colon diameter greater than 6 cm. Pregnant women often experience epigastric discomfort that they may interpret as burning in the chest. At this stage, these cords are composed of primordial germ cells, pre-Sertoli cells, and a surrounding layer of myoid cells. Intercalated ducts secrete large amounts of sodium and bicarbonates to neutralize the acidity of the chyme that enters the duodenum from the stomach. Cromolyn and Nedocromil Although cromolyn sodium (Intal) and nedocromil sodium (Tilade) are widely known for their ability to prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators by mast cells during the early response to antigen challenge, these drugs have a wide variety of inhibitory effects on many cell types, including eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, and neurons. A number of drug interactions result from the ability of various compounds to induce, inhibit, or compete for metabolism by this cytochrome P450 system. The receiver is connected to the multielectrode intracochlear implant inserted along the wall of the cochlear canal. Individuals who form spontaneous keloids are very likely to form hypertrophic scars as well, but a purely hypertrophic scar (such as may develop following abdominal surgery) may have a better prognosis. A rare association with granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia has been reported. Regular peristaltic contractions of this muscle contribute to the flow of urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. It always follows pregnancy, never having been seen in the uterus where pregnancy could be excluded, although the pregnancy may have occurred some years earlier. The epithelial cells of the ducts are columnar and exhibit interspersed lymphocytes (arrows) that have entered the epithelium. Plicae circulares, villi, and microvilli increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestine. Note the flat-topped, polygonal, violaceous (purple) papules affecting the flexures. The area selected for this higher magnification also reveals isolated cell clusters that bear some resemblance to serous acini. Chest X-ray is essential to the diagnosis and should be reviewed by a skilled practitioner, as small pneumothoraces are easily missed.

Descent of the testis is sometimes obstructed, resulting in cryptorchidism, or undescended testes. The mucous neck cells secrete less alkaline soluble mucus compared with the high-alkaline insoluble or cloudy mucus produced by the surface mucous cell. The chronic nature of some of the above conditions may not necessarily be compatible with pregnancy, although some may have a relatively acute onset. In addition, mucus serves as a physical barrier between the cells of the gastric mucosa and the ingested material in the lumen of the stomach. The veins within the villi then carry the blood back through a system of veins that parallels the fetal arteries. Generally, the lumen of the glands is narrow except in the deepest part of the gland, where it is often slightly dilated (asterisks, lower left figure). Traditional cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, family history) pertain, but are joined by pre-eclampsia, postpartum haemorrhage, thrombophilia, and postpartum infection. An abnormal cytokine environment may be responsible for some of the hitherto unexplained recurrent miscarriages. Cholesterol and the phospholipid lecithin, as well as most of the electrolytes and water delivered to the gut with the bile, are also reabsorbed and recycled. Fetal distress may be the first sign of hypovolaemia, as maternal blood flow is diverted from the abdominal and pelvic organs to maintain blood pressure and cerebral perfusion. Patients typically complain of breathlessness, which appears to be out of proportion to the clinical findings and their ability to perform activities of daily living. About half of the cholesterol in the body comes from the diet and the other half derives from de novo biosynthesis. The lamina propria of the mucosa is particularly rich in fenestrated capillaries and small venules, but there are no lymphatic vessels in this layer. It has been suggested that in humans the interstitial cells are an important source of the estrogens that influence growth and development of the secondary sex organs during the early phases of puberty. Rhodopsin is present in globular form on the outer surface of the lipid bilayer (on the cytoplasmic side) of the membranous discs. Upon influx of Ca2, the ribbon accelerates movement of the attached vesicles toward the presynaptic membrane for fusion (similar to the action of a fast-moving conveyor belt). Bronchial carcinoma usually occurs in later life at an age beyond that of most pregnancies and has rarely been reported. Enterocytes are also secretory cells, producing enzymes needed for terminal digestion and absorption as well as secretion of water and electrolytes. During the decidualization process, which typically takes at least 8 to 10 days, the stromal cells differentiate into large, rounded decidual cells in response to the elevated progesterone levels (see page 853). The muscular coat characteristic of the excurrent duct system first appears at the beginning of the efferent ductules. Consequently, the overall objectives of antiasthma therapy are to return lung function to as near normal as possible and to prevent acute exacerbations of the disease. In H&E preparations such as this, the cytoplasm of the pituicyte cannot be distinguished from the unmyelinated nerve fibers. The pyramid is a conical structure composed principally of medullary straight tubules, ducts, and the straight blood vessels (vasa recta). Mast cells also release a variety of chemotactic mediators, such as leukotriene B4 and cytokines. Renal agenesis can be confirmed by the inability to locate kidneys bilaterally and the absence of fluid in the fetal bladder. Lastly, with respect to its absorptive function, the epithelial cells frequently exhibit distended intercellular spaces at their basal aspect (see upper right figure arrows). Peak flow recordings are essential for the diagnosis of asthma and most useful if measured over a period of at least 2 weeks. Miscellaneous causes Obesity is associated with increased risk of miscarriage after spontaneous conception, assisted reproduction and also in donor oocyte cycles.

The membranes of the tubulovesicular system serve as a reservoir of plasma membrane containing active proton pumps. In this particular region, the chromophobe nuclei are readily apparent, but the cytoplasm of the cells is difficult to discern. Inorganic Constituents Sodium Potassium Thiocyanate Smokers Nonsmokers Calcium Phosphate Chloride Fluoride 15. Absence or inadequate amounts of insulin lead to elevated blood glucose levels and the presence of glucose in the urine, a condition known as diabetes mellitus. The surfaces that face the perisinusoidal space correspond to the basal surface of other epithelial cells; the Hepatocytes have as many as 200 to 300 peroxisomes per cell. These cells are tall and thin and have a small number of mucinogen granules in the central apical cytoplasm. By definition, status asthmaticus is not a condition in which symptoms are well controlled. At the macula, however, they are piled as many as eight deep, although they are absent over the fovea itself. The related compound vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) undergoes the same conversion steps as vitamin D3 and produces the same biologic effects. This action helps prevent the spread of infection from the bladder and urethra, frequent sites of chronic infection (particularly in females), to the kidney. Early growth of the primordial follicles is independent of gonadotropin stimulation. Movement of the stapes in the oval window of the vestibule sets up vibrations or traveling waves in the perilymph of the scala vestibuli. This triple-exposure micrograph of a normal adult rat glomerulus is immunostained with two different antibodies. This drawing shows the location of the thyroid gland in the anterior region of the neck in close proximity to the trachea and laryngeal cartilages. Serial assessment of amniotic fluid index in uncomplicated term pregnancies: prognostic value of amniotic fluid reduction. This leads to either ischaemia or hypertensive encephalopathy, both of which may be associated with headache. Importantly, the plasma concentration of theophylline cannot be predicted reliably from the dose. The testes develop in close association with the urinary system retroperitoneally on the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. However, if the clinical features are not consistent with a pre-eclamptic pathology (that is, there is no hypertension, proteinuria, or additional biochemical features of the disease), then other causes must be considered. The aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary processes that border the lens in the posterior chamber of the eye. Other effects are a direct reduction in pepsin activity and a slight rise in tissue prostaglandin levels. Fexofenadine undergoes little or no hepatic metabolism and is excreted primarily as unchanged drug. Some of the ferritin iron may be converted to hemosiderin granules and stored in the cells. In contrast, the medulla presents profiles of tubular structures that are arranged as gentle curves in the outer part of the medulla, turning slightly to become straight in the inner part of the medulla. In these circumstances the seizures are likely to be caused by a hypertensive encephalopathy. The diagnosis has usually been made prior to this stage from the history of pain, bleeding, fetal distress, and onset of labour. Interlobular ducts join to form the right and left hepatic ducts, which in turn join at the hilum to form the common hepatic duct. Here, pIgR is proteolytically cleaved and the extracellular part of the receptor that is bound to dIgA is released into the lumen as secretory IgA (sIgA).
