Neoplasia is defined as abnormal, uncontrolled cell proliferation that continues even after stimulus for growth has stopped. Key characteristics include growth rate, cancer phenotypes and stem cells, clinical features, microscopic features, local invasion, and metastasis. Benign neoplasms are generally well-encapsulated masses that are spherical, movable, and firm. Microscopic examination is important for classification, looking at patterns, cell morphology, angiogenesis, stroma, and inflammation. Benign tumors differ from malignant in their uncontrolled growth and ability to invade surrounding tissue and metastasize.
The document discusses innate immunity, adaptive immunity, cells of the immune system, mechanisms of humoral and cellular immunity, major histocompatibility complex, and types of hypersensitivity reactions. It defines innate immunity as non-specific and the first line of defense, consisting of humoral components like complement and cellular components like neutrophils and macrophages. Adaptive immunity is antigen-specific and consists of humoral immunity mediated by B cells and antibodies, and cellular immunity mediated by T cells. It also describes the four types of hypersensitivity reactions - Type I is an immediate hypersensitivity mediated by IgE and mast cells, Type II involves IgG and antigen on cell surfaces, Type III is immune complex-mediated, and Type IV is T cell
Autoimmune diseases result from the immune system failing to distinguish self from non-self and reacting against the body's own tissues. This loss of tolerance can be caused by immunological, genetic, and microbial factors interacting. There are two main types of autoimmune diseases: organ-specific diseases where autoantibodies form against a specific organ like the thyroid; and organ non-specific or systemic diseases where multiple autoantibodies form against many tissues causing systemic issues. Examples of both organ-specific and systemic autoimmune diseases are then provided.
Edema is defined as the abnormal accumulation of free fluid in the interstitial tissue spaces and body cavities. There are two main types: localized edema affecting a single organ or limb, and generalized edema affecting the entire body.

12- Blood Groups and Blood Transfusion 2018-converted.pptxgimspathcme2022
Blood typing involves determining the presence of antigens on red blood cells. The ABO and Rh blood group systems are most important for blood transfusions. Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood groups in 1901 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. The ABO blood groups are determined by the presence of A and B antigens, and antibodies against antigens not present. Type O blood lacks both antigens and can be donated to all groups, while Type AB has both antigens and is a universal recipient. Compatible blood typing and cross-matching between donor and recipient prevents transfusion reactions.

The internal examination involves inspecting organs in-situ before removal and dissection of the heart, lungs, brain and other organs. Tissue sampling and imaging may also be utilized.
1. Renal failure can be acute or chronic and is classified based on the underlying cause and pathology. Acute renal failure (ARF) is characterized by a rapid decline in renal function and accumulation of waste products in the blood. Common causes of ARF include decreased blood flow to the kidneys, direct kidney damage, or urinary tract obstruction.
2. Chronic renal failure (CRF) is an irreversible deterioration of renal function that develops slowly over time. It can be caused by diseases affecting the glomeruli or tubulointerstitial tissues. CRF results in fluid and electrolyte imbalances as well as metabolic abnormalities that manifest as uraemic symptoms.
3. Laboratory findings in renal
This document discusses various special stains used in pathology to identify different tissue components. It describes stains for carbohydrates like Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), mucins like Alcian blue and mucicarmine, collagen and elastic fibers like reticulin and trichrome stains, amyloid with Congo red, lipids, melanin, calcium, iron, and microorganisms. It provides details on the principles, reagents, controls, and uses of these important special stains.
Benign and malignant neoplasms can be differentiated based on their gross and microscopic features. Benign neoplasms are generally well-circumscribed masses that are spherical or ovoid in shape and are often encapsulated. They are freely movable and uniform in appearance unless changes like hemorrhage or infarction have occurred. Microscopically, benign tumors show characteristic growth patterns and differentiated tumor cells, as well as tumor angiogenesis and stroma formation. In contrast, malignant neoplasms exhibit features of invasion and metastasis.
- Autopsies date back to ancient Greece and have evolved significantly over time, with early contributors including Herophilus, Galen, Vesalius, and Virchow.
- The main objectives of autopsy are to determine the cause of death, identify hereditary diseases, rule out infectious diseases, and provide information for education, research, and national statistics.
- There are various techniques for performing autopsies including en masse, en bloc, and in situ methods. Special techniques are also used for situations like postoperative autopsies.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
