Hello everyone, This has bothered me for sometime now. Ok Pulmonary embolism , now decreased perfusion into a part of lung. No blood available for oxygen from lung to diffuse into. Blood has decreased oxygen. That is fine but since no blood is reaching the lungs, the carbon dioxide should also...

Hello everyone, Something I have noticed in this forum, when I'm making threads. I get replies from people, who have specifically made an account to reply to my thread. Their answers are also generally very helpful, unfortunately they are never to be seen again so I cannot further discuss the...

Thanks for the reply. But I think that is the general definition of an incision and excision, and not refer to biopsies in particular.I found some useful info on another site. Posting here for my and others future reference.

Hello everyone, I did an internet search on these terms, but I want to make sure if I understood this properly. These are the biopsies I know 1. FNAC: You get a needle and aspirate cells 2. True cut (core) biopsy: You get a bigger needle and aspirate tissue rather than cells. 3. Incisional...

Thanks. I see. Also from re reading your previous response. I think all hereditary diseases are also familial, but all familial diseases are not hereditary. Is that a fair assumption?

@galadriel3562: Thanks a lot for taking your time to answer my question. I really appreciate it. Cleared a lot of grey areas. So in essence from what I read, I think Hereditary problems can be nicely explained by Mendelian patterns, but familial do not in all cases, some they do. :smile:

Hello everyone, I thought I understood these terms, but got confused lately . My understanding Congenital- Present at birth Familial: Occuring in family or its members Hereditary: Transmitted or capable of being transmitted genetically from parent to offspring My questions 1. Ok congenital...

Hello everyone, Charcot's triad is there to describe the clinical features of acute cholangitis. They are 1.Fever 2. Right upper quadrant pain 3. Jaundice 2 and 3 in charcot's triad is confusing to me. As I want to know if they occur due to cholangitis (infection) or due to gall stone...

@fresh_42: Thanks for the response. I'm not talking about reduced urine output, as I said in first post, cardiac insufficiency due to MI can obviously cause low output renal failure. What I'm asking is why does MI cause urine to retain in bladder. Is this due to some stress respone.

Did you write the first question correctly, I can't find "b" in the question. As for first question 1. Initial stage during exercise cardiac out put increases due to increase heart rate 2. Then early stage of exercise this elevation of cardiac out put is maintained not by heart rate, but by...

Hello everyone, How does this occur. I'm talking about retention (eg urine stuck in bladder) not the pre renal failure which myocardial infarction can obviously cause. Also while we are at it, I also read diuretics can cause retention of urine also. That's interesting because that defeats...

Thanks fzero yes delirium was what i was thinking about. :)

Hello everyone, I'm talking about retaining urine in the bladder,not renal failure, so I can't think of uraemia as a course. So what is the reason behind this. Thanks :)

I think I have got confused. It seems that infections of large colon produces blood and mucus most of the time, because the nature of the bacteria that affect large colon,usually seems to penetrate deep and cause necrosis.

Why is that usually, Diarrohea due to large intestine problems usually cause blood and mucus diarrohea While diarrhoea due to small intestine problems usually cause watery diarrohea. Thanks :)
