El documento describe el sistema Rh descubierto por Karl Landsteiner en 1940, el cual clasifica la sangre como Rh positivo o Rh negativo dependiendo de la presencia o ausencia del antígeno D en los glóbulos rojos. Explica que durante el embarazo, si la madre es Rh negativo y el feto es Rh positivo, puede producirse una enfermedad hemolítica en el recién nacido debido a anticuerpos maternos anti-Rh, pero que esta se puede prevenir mediante inyecciones de inmunoglobulina anti-Rh a la madre durante
Este documento describe varios aspectos de la inmunidad tumoral. Explica que las células tumorales pueden expresar antígenos específicos de tumores o antígenos asociados a tumores. También describe cómo las células tumorales desarrollan mecanismos para evadir el sistema inmunitario del huésped, como la pérdida de antígenos de histocompatibilidad. Finalmente, detalla algunos métodos de diagnóstico analítico del cáncer como la extirpación, aspiración con agujas e inmunoc
Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for 10-15% of all strokes and is associated with higher mortality than ischemic stroke. Patients often present with headache, altered mental status, seizures, nausea/vomiting, or hypertension. The bleeding occurs directly into the brain from damaged arteries, and mortality is high, with 40-80% dying within 30 days. Risk factors include age, hypertension, amyloidosis, coagulopathies, anticoagulation, cocaine abuse, and genetic conditions. Treatment focuses on stabilizing vital signs, controlling blood pressure and seizures, and reducing intracranial pressure if elevated.
