<h2>Atelectasis</h2>

Explanation:

Definition: A respiratory complication due to partial or complete collapse of a part of a lung or an entire lung. Lungs are filled with tiny air sacs termed alveoli. When alveoli are deflated due to alveolar fluid accumulation, collapse of the lung takes place. Due to deflation of air sacs, the lung volume decreases which leads to respiratory difficulties.

Etiology: Mucous plug, foreign body, tumor, chest trauma, pleural effusion, pneumonia, etc

Clinical manifestation:    Shallow, rapid, difficult or labored breathing; wheezing or cough; pneumonia; dyspnea, pleuritic pain

Evaluation by: X-ray, chest CT scan, bronchoscopy, oximetry, thorax ultrasound  

Medication:  Include

  • Bronchodilators to induce sputum expectoration and provide lung ventilation
  • Antibiotics in case of any infection
  • Other medications depending upon the underlying medical condition if any
  • Treatments like incentive spirometry, CPAP, chest physiotherapy, postural drainage etc can be done to treat atelectasis.

Rufina [12.5K]
Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is termed as the rate of controlling enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which produces other isoprenoid and cholesterol.
The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.

Describe the cell-surface events leading to neutrphil movement to site of infection.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Neutrophils help fight infections because they ingest microorganisms and secrete enzymes that destroy them. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte and a type of phagocyte.

Explanation:

Neutrophils display adhesion glycoproteins on their surface to bind endothelial and subendothelial structures. They move randomly until they find a damaged site. Unless neutrophils are activated, endothelial cells do not tend to adhere. When inflammation mediators (IL-1, FNT) activate endothelial cells, they express P-selectin and E-selectin on the surface. The expression of glycoproteins and L-selectin cause the initial adhesion of the non-stimulated neutrophil to the activated endothelium, slowing it down by rolling it over the endothelium. Activated endothelial cells, opsonized particles, immune complexes, FEC-G, FEC-GM and chemoattractants produce factors that stimulate neutrophil activation. Expressing β2 integrin (endothelium adhesion molecule) Neutrophils expand and form pseudopods. Neutrophil activation also promotes degranulation, superoxide generation, and arachidonate metabolite production.
