    Study Notes

    Diseases of Digestive System

    • Gastritis: Inflammation of the lining of the stomach.

    Liver Cirrhosis

    • Definition: Chronic diffuse liver disease characterized by:
      • Degeneration and necrosis of liver cells
      • Regeneration forming nodules which lack the normal lobular pattern
      • Diffuse fibrosis

    Microscopic Picture of Liver Cirrhosis

    • Liver shows complete loss of normal lobular pattern
    • Liver consists of regenerating nodules separated by fibrous tissue septa
    • Regenerating nodules show absent or eccentric central veins
    • Liver cells may be:
      • Small
      • Enlarged
      • Binucleated
      • Degenerated
      • Necrotic
    • Fibrous septa are infiltrated by lymphocytes and show proliferation

    Inflammations of the Male Genital System

    • Orchitis: inflammation of the testes caused by infections, autoimmune disease, or trauma
    • Symptoms of orchitis:
      • Painful swelling of one or both testes
      • Painful ejaculation
      • Degeneration and necrosis of spermatozoa
      • Congestion and leukocytic infiltration

    Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    • Gonorrhea: caused by Nisseria gonorrhea, characterized by:
      • Painful discharge from genitalia
      • Prostatitis, epididymitis, and urethritis
    • Syphilis: caused by Treponema pallidum, characterized by:
      • Ulcers (chancre) on genitalia
      • Lymphadenopathy
      • Skin rash
      • Meningitis
      • Aortitis

    Other Conditions

    • Intersex: a group of conditions where an individual has sexual characteristics between males and females
