Study Notes
Slow Onset Effect Mediators
- Leukotrienes mediate slow onset effects, influencing conditions such as asthma.
- Degranulation of mast cells leads to bronchospasm, causing airway constriction during asthma attacks.
- The slow onset of these effects results from cellular infiltration, which can induce tissue damage.
Type I Diabetes
- Insulin-dependent (Type I) diabetes may involve similar slow onset autoimmune processes.
- Cellular infiltration and tissue damage play significant roles in disease progression.
Vasculitis
- Characterized as Type III hypersensitivity reaction.
- Mediated by IgG or IgM through the formation of soluble immune complexes.
- Persistent microbial infections, such as tuberculosis, can contribute to vasculitis development.
Autoimmune Pathologies
- Dentists are crucial for early detection of emerging autoimmune diseases, particularly in oral health.
- Aphthae of the oral mucosa can manifest with symptoms:
- Affects lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and tongue.
- Presents as painful lesions with cyclic occurrence.
- Important to rule out other clinical explanations for similar symptoms.
