Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body's tissues, causing inflammation and formation of granulomas (clusters of cells). It most commonly affects the lungs and lymph nodes in the chest, but can impact multiple organs like the skin, eyes, liver, and heart. Symptoms vary depending on the affected organs but may include cough, shortness of breath, skin lesions, eye irritation, and joint pain. Diagnosis involves tests like chest x-rays, blood tests, and biopsies to rule out other potential diseases. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, though some cases resolve without treatment.

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a manifestation of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that presents with diverse skin lesions. There are three main subtypes of CLE - acute (ACLE), subacute (SCLE), and chronic (CCLE, including discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)). CLE results from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility, environmental triggers like ultraviolet light, and dysregulated immune responses. Histopathology is useful but not definitive for diagnosis, which relies on clinical presentation and serological markers. CLE can range from limited skin involvement to systemic disease affecting major organs.

This document discusses the clinical presentation and manifestations of sarcoidosis. It notes that sarcoidosis is characterized by non-caseating granulomas that can affect multiple organs, most commonly the lungs. It describes the typical involvement of the lungs, eyes, skin, joints, liver and lymph nodes. Musculoskeletal involvement and arthritis are also common. Radiographic findings include hilar lymphadenopathy and small nodules in a perilymphatic distribution. Fibrosis can develop in advanced disease. Differential diagnoses include other granulomatous diseases like tuberculosis.
Multiple Sclerosis
This document provides information on multiple sclerosis (MS) including:
- MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves.
- Symptoms can range from mild numbness to severe paralysis or vision loss and vary between individuals unpredictably.
- New treatments and research advances are providing hope for those affected by the disease.
Lymphatic and immune system
Hodgkin's disease, also known as Hodgkin's lymphoma, is a type of cancer that originates in the white blood cells of the lymph nodes. There are two main types - classical Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Risk factors include age (15-40 and over 55), family history, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and compromised immune system. Symptoms include painless swelling of lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss. Treatment involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both.
Systemic Connective Tissue Inflammatory Syndrome Lecture 4
Systemic connective tissue inflammation syndrome (SCTIS) can cause three main diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma (SD), and dermatomyositis (DM). SCTIS is characterized by inflammatory disorders of the joints, muscles, and internal organs. It has an acute, subacute, or chronic onset and can cause progressive symptoms over time, including fatigue, rashes, skin tightening, joint pain and swelling, muscle weakness and atrophy. Diagnosis involves examining a patient's medical history and symptoms, conducting lab tests to detect autoantibodies and inflammation, and performing biopsies of affected tissues.
Oral ulcers
The document discusses various causes of oral ulcers including deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid as well as systemic disorders like SLE and Behcet's disease. It also mentions viral infections from viruses like Coxsackie A and herpes simplex type 1 and bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and syphilis as potential causes. The document recommends treatments like topical steroid ointments, chlorhexidine rinses, pain relievers, and addressing any nutrient deficiencies or infections present.
Lymphatic system and immune system discussion 6
Lymphadenitis is an infection of the lymph nodes that causes swelling. It is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi near the site of infection. Symptoms include swollen and tender lymph nodes. Treatment involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or pain medication. Hodgkin's disease is a cancer of the lymphatic system where cells grow abnormally. Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes and weight loss. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation, or stem cell transplant. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes overproduce, forming tumors. Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and night sweats.
Dyschromatosis and Reticulate pigmentary disorders

- Reticulate pigmentary disorders involve freckle-like macules joined at margins in a net-like pattern, while dyschromatosis involves interspersed hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules.
- Several conditions are classified including acral, flexural, generalized types like reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura and dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria.
- Genetic mutations in genes like ADAM10, DSRAD, KRT5 are associated with these conditions. Histopathology often
Systemic sclerosis..scleroderma
This document provides information on systemic sclerosis (SSc), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by thickening and hardening of the skin, and involvement of internal organs. It can present as either limited or diffuse cutaneous forms. Key clinical features include Raynaud's phenomenon, skin thickening and tightening, digital pitting scars, and internal organ involvement such as interstitial lung disease, gastrointestinal issues, and renal crisis. Diagnosis involves clinical examination and the presence of autoantibodies. Differential diagnoses include other conditions presenting with similar skin or vascular changes. Complications can affect multiple organ systems and are a leading cause of mortality.
Scleroderma - A quick revision
Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease that causes hardening of the skin. It results from an overproduction of collagen in the body's tissues. The cause is unknown but likely involves immune system problems, genetics, and environmental triggers. Scleroderma can lead to complications by scarring and reducing function of internal organs like the lungs, kidneys, and heart. It also causes problems with fingers, teeth, digestion, and sexual function.
Enzymes and digestion2
The document discusses the role of digestive enzymes in breaking down food molecules in the digestive system. Starch is broken down by amylase and maltase. Proteins are broken down by trypsin and peptidases. Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. The structure and specificity of enzymes is also described.
Enzymes
Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions inside cells. They have specific active sites that allow only certain substrate molecules to bind via lock and key interactions. Enzymes can be intracellular, acting inside cells, or extracellular, acting outside cells. Experiments show that enzyme activity is optimized at certain temperatures and pH levels, and outside those ranges enzymes become denatured and lose function. Biological detergents use enzymes that can function at low temperatures, providing environmental advantages over traditional detergents.

ADR in practice: Pre-Claim Conciliation – 2 years on
- Acas introduced Pre-Claim Conciliation (PCC) to encourage earlier resolution of employment disputes and reduce burdens of employment tribunal claims. PCC referrals have increased year-over-year and around half of appropriate referrals are resolved. PCC appears to be faster, cheaper, and less formal than tribunal processes. However, conciliators face challenges like cold-calling employers and lack of initial paperwork compared to tribunal cases.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities in applying mRNA sequencing (mRNAseq) to non-model organisms. It describes using digital normalization as a way to cope with having a massive amount of lamprey mRNAseq data but an incomplete genomic reference. Digital normalization enables assembly and analysis that would otherwise not be possible. The document also discusses applying digital normalization to ascidian mRNAseq data, where it results in substantial time savings and comparable transcriptomes to those assembled without normalization. Finally, it discusses next steps for lamprey transcriptome analysis including enabling various evolutionary and biological studies.

SLE by DRMAGDI SASI 2016
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organ systems. SLE most commonly affects women in their 20s and 30s. The course of SLE is unpredictable, with periods of illness alternating with remission. Common initial symptoms include fatigue, fever, joint pain, and weight changes. SLE can cause skin rashes, oral ulcers, hair loss, serositis, lung involvement including pleurisy, heart involvement such as pericarditis, and kidney disease. The prognosis for SLE has improved in recent decades due to medical advances, with survival rates of approximately 95% at 5 years and 90% at 10 years. SLE is treated symptomatically mainly with
Sarcoidosis: Causes, sysmptoms, treatment complication
Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by inflammatory granulomas in multiple organs. The exact cause is unknown but genetics and race influence risk. Common symptoms vary by organ but include cough, fatigue, skin lesions, and eye/joint issues. Diagnosis involves tests like chest X-rays and biopsies to detect granulomas. While often mild, complications can include lung infections, kidney failure, and heart/eye issues. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through lifestyle changes and drugs like corticosteroids, as there is no cure.

Autoimmunity occurs when circumstances impair the regulation of cells with autoimmune potential, allowing them to attack the body's own tissues. Autoimmune conditions are common and often occur together in clusters across multiple organ systems. While specific diagnoses are applied, it is best to think of autoimmunity existing on a spectrum of related processes rather than rigid categories.
Sarcoidosis agreat mimic
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by noncaseating granulomas. It is diagnosed when granulomas are seen histologically and other causes have been excluded. The lungs are commonly involved, presenting with hilar lymphadenopathy and infiltrates. Skin, eyes, and liver are also frequently affected. Treatment involves corticosteroids to prevent fibrosis in severe or progressive cases. Prognosis is variable, with spontaneous remission in about two-thirds of patients.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
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.

- 6. Eyes: 20-30%
- 8. Heart: 5-25%
- 9. Nervous System: 1-5%
- 13. MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM: Arthritis, periarthritis, arthralgia. Most common that pain will be acute with swelling in lower legs and tenderness in joints.
- 14. TREATMENT: Is difficult because disease tends to come and go so many times there Is no treatment. If inflammation involved, initial treatment is usually corticosteroids like Prednisone to reduce inflammation orally but also used topical Corticosteroids. Depends on organs affected. In general, Sarcoidosis appears briefly and clears itself without relapse. However, 20-30% are left with some lung damage, 10-15% have chronic case and 5-10% can be fatal if vital organs are seriously affected. Most people can lead a normal life.
