Blood cancer is a group of malignancies that impact the production and function of blood cells. The three primary types of blood cancer are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Each of these has subtypes, making blood cancer a diverse and intricate disease.
The document discusses the classification and treatment of various types of leukemia. It begins by defining leukemia as the neoplastic proliferation of white blood cells. Leukemias are classified as either lymphoid or myeloid and as either acute or chronic depending on the affected cell type and disease progression. The four major types are described as acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Treatment options are discussed including chemotherapy regimens, bone marrow transplantation, supportive care and goals of treatment.
Leukaemia is a group of malignant blood disorders affecting the bone marrow and blood-forming tissues. There are four main types classified by whether the affected cells are lymphoid or myeloid, and whether the disease course is acute or chronic. Acute leukemias involve immature blast cells and a rapid progression, while chronic leukemias involve more mature cells and a slower course. The document defines each type and discusses their signs, symptoms, diagnosis, prognostic factors and treatment approaches.
Leukaemia is a cancer of the blood cells that can be acute or chronic. It involves overproduction of either lymphocytes or myelocytes. Treatment aims to induce remission through chemotherapy then maintain remission, but prognosis remains poor compared to other cancers, with less than half of patients surviving more than 5 years.

This document provides an overview of leukemic diseases and their ocular manifestations. It discusses the different types of leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It covers the pathogenesis, classification, signs and symptoms, diagnostic testing including blood counts, bone marrow examination, and cytochemical staining. It also describes the various ocular changes that can occur due to anemia, thrombocytopenia, hyperviscosity, thrombosis, infiltration of tissues, and metabolic abnormalities associated with leukemias.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a type of leukemia characterized by the Philadelphia chromosome, which fuses the BCR and ABL genes. This results in uncontrolled proliferation of granulocytes. CML typically progresses through chronic, accelerated, and blast crisis phases. The chronic phase is often asymptomatic but may include fatigue and splenomegaly. Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors like imatinib has greatly improved prognosis, achieving molecular remission in some cases. Without treatment, survival is 3-5 years in chronic phase and 3-6 months in blast crisis.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that build up in the bone marrow and interfere with normal blood cell production. AML has several subtypes classified by the type of blood cell affected and stage of maturation. Common treatments for AML include chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, and sometimes surgery or radiation. Prognosis depends on the AML subtype, stage at diagnosis, and patient age. While treatment can cure around 70% of AML patients, risks from treatment include infection, fatigue, and infertility.
Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children. It begins in blood cells and causes an abnormal increase in white blood cells. Symptoms include fever, night sweats, bruising easily, and feeling very tired. Treatment involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplants, and managing risks like infection.
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by an abnormal increase of immature white blood cells. There are several types classified by how quickly the disease develops (acute or chronic) and the affected blood cell type (lymphoid or myeloid). Common types include acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia. Treatment involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or stem cell transplantation and varies depending on the leukemia type and stage.

This document discusses different types of angina pectoris and antianginal drugs. It describes typical angina, variant angina, and unstable angina. The main classes of antianginal drugs covered are nitrates, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and potassium channel openers. Nitrates work by vasodilation to reduce preload and afterload. Beta-blockers reduce heart rate and contractility. Calcium channel blockers inhibit calcium influx to relax smooth muscle. Potassium channel openers like nicorandil dilate blood vessels.
Sk. Muscle Relaxantsnursing and its side effectswajidullah9551
The document discusses the process of muscle contraction initiated by the central nervous system. It begins with an action potential traveling from the cerebral cortex along a upper motor neuron to the spinal cord. This causes the release of neurotransmitters like epinephrine and glutamate which excite a lower motor neuron. The lower motor neuron then travels to the neuromuscular junction where it releases acetylcholine, activating nicotinic receptors on the motor end plate of the muscle fiber. This causes sodium and potassium ions to flow into the muscle fiber, depolarizing it and triggering an action potential that propagates deep into the muscle and initiates contraction through calcium release and cross-bridge cycling of actin and myosin filaments.
glaucoma and causes sign symptoms treatmentwajidullah9551
1. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by optic nerve damage and vision loss caused by increased intraocular pressure.
2. It can be primary, resulting from increased aqueous humor production or decreased outflow, or secondary, caused by other eye diseases.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
