Skin tumour 2
This document summarizes several types of skin tumors and lesions. It discusses non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which are locally invasive but rarely spread. Malignant melanoma has more potential to metastasize and outcomes depend on stage of diagnosis. Risk factors for skin cancers include ultraviolet light exposure, radiation, and immunosuppression. Treatment involves surgical excision. The document also covers pre-cancerous lesions like actinic keratosis and describes benign pigmented lesions.
Skin tumour 1
The document discusses three common types of skin malignancies: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. It compares their risk factors, clinical behavior, risks of metastasis and death. Prognosis in melanoma depends on how early it is detected and staging. Melanoma risk is higher in some groups. Benign pigmented skin lesions are common, but melanoma poses the greatest threat due to potential spread. The document also describes skin structure from epidermis to subcutaneous fat.
Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder caused by loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Its main symptoms are tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and impaired balance and coordination. Diagnosis is based on medical history and clinical examination showing the characteristic motor symptoms. Treatment aims to control symptoms and preserve function, primarily using dopamine replacement therapy such as levodopa and dopamine agonists. Other options include deep brain stimulation surgery for advanced cases with motor fluctuations or dyskinesia.
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. Common symptoms include vision problems, muscle weakness, numbness, and impaired coordination. The cause is believed to be an autoimmune reaction where the immune system attacks myelin. A diagnosis requires evidence of lesions in both time and space on clinical examination and MRI imaging. While there is no cure, treatments aim to reduce inflammation and relapse rate to slow progression of disability.
Malignant skin cancer(cml)
This document summarizes information about different types of skin cancer:
- Basal cell carcinoma arises from basal cells and does not metastasize but can invade bone and cartilage. It appears as small nodules that ulcerate and form raised edges, most commonly on the face. Treatment includes surgery, cryotherapy, and radiotherapy.
- Malignant melanoma arises from melanocytes and is increasing in incidence at 6% per year. It can arise from pre-existing moles. Types include superficial spreading, nodular, lentigo maligna melanoma. Staging uses Breslow thickness and Clarke levels. Treatment includes wide local excision and immunotherapy.
- Squamous cell carcinoma arises from keratinocytes and spreads

Joints 1
Synovial joints allow for movement between articulating bone surfaces that are covered by hyaline cartilage. There are two main types of cells in the synovial membrane - type A macrophages that remove debris, and type B cells that produce lubricating proteins. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and affects over 80% of elderly individuals. It is a degenerative joint disease caused by aging, repetitive joint use, obesity, genetics and prior joint injury. The cartilage in osteoarthritis breaks down over time, reducing its ability to absorb pressure and lubricate the joint, leading to pain and stiffness. Treatment focuses on relieving pain through medications and joint replacement if needed to restore function.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy can be classified as either generalized or partial. Generalized epilepsy involves seizures that affect both sides of the brain, and partial epilepsy involves seizures that affect one area. Diagnosing epilepsy involves taking a medical history and conducting investigations. Management depends on the epilepsy classification and involves anti-seizure medications. Evaluation includes assessing seizure type, frequency, medication history, and psychosocial factors.

Finally, it briefly touches on epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, investigations, and management of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Bones pathology
Bones are composed of an organic matrix containing collagen and proteoglycans, as well as an inorganic component of calcium hydroxyapatite. Bones contain osteoprogenitor, osteoblast, osteocyte, and osteoclast cells. Bone formation involves the production of osteoid by osteoblasts, mineralization of osteoid, and remodeling by resorption and reformation mediated by osteoclasts and osteoblasts respectively. Bones form through endochondral ossification from cartilage or membranous/periosteal ossification from connective tissue. Common bone abnormalities include congenital defects, metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis, bone infections, bone tumors, and fractures.
Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder caused by loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Its main symptoms are tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and impaired balance and coordination. Diagnosis is based on medical history and clinical examination showing the characteristic motor symptoms.
