Types of Viral Hepatitis

Type A Hepatitis (HAV), (infectious hepatitis)

•Is caused by an RNA virus of the enterovirus family.

•It spreads primarily by the fecal-oral route, usually through the ingestion of infected food or liquids.

•It may also spread from person-to-person contact and, rarely, by blood transfusion.

•Type A hepatitis occurs worldwide, especially in areas with overcrowding and poor sanitation.

Type B Hepatitis (HBW), (serum hepatitis)

•Is caused by a double-shelled virus containing DNA.

•It spreads primarily through blood (percutaneous and per mucosal route).

•It can also spread by way of saliva, breastfeeding, or sexual activity (blood, semen, saliva, or vaginal secretions.

•Male homosexuals are at high risk for infection.

•After acute infection, 10% of patients progress on to carrier status or develop chronic hepatitis.

•HBV is the main cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Type C Hepatitis (HCV),( non-A, non-B hepatitis, or posttransfusion hepatitis)

•Formerly called non-A, non-B hepatitis, usually spreads through blood or blood product transfusion, usually from asymptomatic blood donors.

•It may also be transmitted through unsterile piercing or tattooing tools or dyes.

•It commonly affects I.V. drug users and renal dialysis patients and personnel.

•HCV is the most common form of posttransfusion hepatitis.


Type D Hepatitis (HDV),(delta agent hepatitis)

•Also known as Delta hepatitis.

•Is caused by a defective RNA virus that requires the presence of hepatitis B-specifically, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) - to replicate.

•HDV occurs along with HBV or may superinfect a chronic HBV carrier, and cannot outlast a hepatitis B infection.

•It occurs primarily in I.V. drug abusers or those who have had multiple blood transfusions, but the highest incidence is in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and South America.

Type E Hepatitis (HEV), (enterically transmitted or epidemic non-A, non-B)

•Is caused by a nonenveloped, single-strand RNA virus.

•It is transmitted by the fecal-oral route but is hard to detect because it is inconsistently shed in the feces.

•Its occurrence is primarily in India, Africa, Asia, or Central America.

What is Porphyria?

Porphyria is basically a group of rare metabolic diseases (or disorders) that affect the skin and internal organs, such as the nervous system. These disorders are mainly caused by an enzyme deficiency. The enzyme deficiencies may stem from a number of different causes, which makes the symptoms and severity of different porphyria diseases vary greatly.

Physiology of the initiation of labour

Increasing levels of prostaglandins, oxytocin, and progesterone are thought to contribute to the initiation of the onset of labour. The levels then rise progressively, reaching highest levels at the birth of the head and after placental separation.

The myometrium
Individual cells within the myometrium are able to depolarize their cell membranes, allowing the movement of ions, primarily calcium, which together with ATPase (an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate into adenosine diphosphate and a free phosphate ion) initiates the contraction of myosin fibres within the cell. The cells are able to communicate their activity via gap junctions. At term, muscle fibres are present in compact bundles, reducing the gap size; therefore, the number of gap junctions increases and the potential to stimulate contractility is increased.

When these processes occur together, this results in a harmonized contraction, which can spread across the uterus.

The cervix
The cervix consists of collagen fibers alternating with circular and longitudinal muscle fibers. Normally the cervix is firm and resistant to downward activity from the uterus and its contents. Towards term, the percentage of water in the collagen fibers increases, which decreases their stability and therefore results in a softer, more compliant cervix.

Hormonal influences
Oestrogen enhances myometrial activity by increasing oxytocin and prostaglandin receptors, which in turn assists with the formation of gap junctions. Prostaglandins are produced in the placenta, membranes, and decidua. Prostaglandin (PGF2a) and prostaglandin E (PGE) facilitate the production of calcium ions, which thus increases their availability for binding to the myosin receptors. This enhances contractile action and results in harmonized contractions. The presence of prostaglandins in the cervix encourages the production of the enzymes elastase and collagenase (MMP- 8) which actively break down collagen fibers, leading to cervical ripening (softening). Oxytocin acts as a hormone and neurotransmitter and is produced by the hypothalamus; it is a powerful uterotonic. An increase in oxytocin receptors, due to the action of estrogen, dramatically increases uterine sensitivity to oxytocin at term. This facilitates the onset and maintenance of contractions by depolarization and stimulating the production of prostaglandins. Animal studies suggest that the hormone relaxin is instrumental in stimulating oxytocin-synthesizing neurons in the hypothalamus just before the onset of labour.




Blood counts that tell you a lot about your health

📌Hemoglobin(Hb):
A blood pigment found in red blood cells whose main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and to remove CO2 from the body.

📌RBCs:
Increased value occurs in heart defects, bronchial, lung, kidney, and liver disease.

📌Leukocytes:
Indicates infections and inflammation.

📌 Platelets:
If they are more than normal, you may have tuberculosis, ulcerative colitis, or cirrhosis of the liver.

📌SEE or ROE:
Elevated values occur with infections, inflammation, anemia, kidney disease, hormonal disorders, and pregnancy.

📌Glucose:
An overabundance of glucose indicates inadequate and irregular nutrition, hormonal disorders, a deficiency indicates diabetes mellitus.

📌Total protein:
When liver, kidney, and malnutrition deteriorate, it goes down.

Edema

Edema is increased fluid in the interstitial tissue spaces or it is a fluid accumulation in the body cavities in excessive amounts. Depending on the site, fluid accumulation in body cavities can be variously designated as:

a) Hydrothorax - fluid accumulation in pleural cavity in a pathologic amount.
b) Hydropericardium - pathologic amount of fluid accumulated in the pericardial cavity.
c) Hydroperitoncum (ascites) – fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity.
d) Ancsarca - is severe & generalized edema of the body with profound subcutaneous swelling.

Mechanism of edema formation Approximately 60% of the lean body weight is water, two-thirds of which is intracellular with the remainder in the extracellular compartment.

The capillary endothelium acts as a semipermeable membrane and is highly permeable to water & to almost all solutes in plasma with an exception of proteins. Proteins in plasma and interstitial fluid are especially important in controlling plasma & interstitial fluid volume.

Normally, any outflow of fluid into the interstitium from the arteriolar end of the microcirculation is nearly balanced by inflow at the venular end. Therefore, normally, there is very little fluid in the interstitium.

Edema formation is determined by the following factors:
1) Hydrostatic pressure
2) Oncotic pressure
3) Vascular permeability
4) Lymphatic channels
5) Sodium and water retention

Parts of Nervous System

The nervous system is broadly divided into central and peripheral parts which are continuous with each other. Further subdivisions of each part are given below.

A. Central nervous system (CNS) includes:

Brain or encephalon, which occupies cranial cavity, and contains the higher governing centres.

Spinal cord or spinal medulla, which occupies upper twothirds of the vertebral canal, and contains many reflex centres.

B. Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is subdivided into the following two components.

Cerebrospinal nervous system is the somatic component of the peripheral nervous system, which includes 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves. It innervates the somatic structures of the head and neck, limbs and body wall, and mediates somatic sensory and motor functions.

Peripheral autonomic nervous system is the visceral component of the peripheral nervous system, includes the visceral or splanchnic nerves that are connected to the CNS through the somatic nerves.


ℹ️ Appendicitis :- Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix.
The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch that sticks out from the colon on the lower right side of the belly, also called the abdomen.

🔍 Symptoms - Appendicitis causes pain in the lower right abdomen. However, in most people, pain begins around the belly button and then moves. As inflammation worsens, appendicitis pain typically increases, eventually becomes serious & Possibly life-threatening.


🛡 Treatment:- Treatment of appendicitis is usually antibiotics and surgery to remove the appendix.

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid that's released into your small intestine (bile). In most cases, gallstones blocking the tube leading out of your gallbladder cause cholecystitis. This results in a bile buildup that can cause inflammation. Other causes of cholecystitis include bile duct problems, tumors, serious illnesses and certain infections.

If left untreated, cholecystitis can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening complications, such as a gallbladder rupture. Treatment for cholecystitis often involves gallbladder removal.

Causes

Cholecystitis occurs when your gallbladder becomes inflamed. Gallbladder inflammation can be caused by:

•Gallstones. Most often, cholecystitis is the result of hard particles that develop in your gallbladder (gallstones). Gallstones can block the tube (cystic duct) through which bile flows when it leaves the gallbladder. Bile builds up, causing inflammation.

•Tumor. A tumor may prevent bile from draining out of your gallbladder properly, causing bile buildup that can lead to cholecystitis.

•Bile duct blockage. Kinking or scarring of the bile ducts can cause blockages that lead to cholecystitis.

•Infection. AIDS and certain viral infections can trigger gallbladder inflammation.

•Blood vessel problems. A very severe illness can damage blood vessels and decrease blood flow to the gallbladder, leading to cholecystitis.

Complications

Cholecystitis can lead to a number of serious complications, including:

•Infection within the gallbladder. If bile builds up within your gallbladder, causing cholecystitis, the bile may become infected.

•Death of gallbladder tissue. Untreated cholecystitis can cause tissue in the gallbladder to die (gangrene). It's the most common complication, especially among older people, those who wait to get treatment, and those with diabetes. This can lead to a tear in the gallbladder, or it may cause your gallbladder to burst.

•Torn gallbladder. A tear (perforation) in your gallbladder may result from gallbladder swelling, infection or death of tissue.

Prevention

You can reduce your risk of cholecystitis by taking the following steps to prevent gallstones:

•Lose weight slowly. Rapid weight loss can increase the risk of gallstones. If you need to lose weight, aim to lose 1 or 2 pounds (0.5 to about 1 kilogram) a week.

•Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight makes you more likely to develop gallstones. To achieve a healthy weight, reduce calories and increase your physical activity. Maintain a healthy weight by continuing to eat well and exercise.

•Choose a healthy diet. Diets high in fat and low in fiber may increase the risk of gallstones. To lower your risk, choose a diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
