Flashcards
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
A technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue samples. It is used to identify different cell types, diagnose diseases, and understand disease processes.
Genetic basis of disease
Genetic basis of disease
The study of the genetic basis of disease focuses on understanding how changes in genes can lead to disease development and progression. It uses techniques like gene sequencing and analysis to identify genetic mutations associated with diseases.
Surgical procedures
Surgical procedures
Surgical procedures are primarily performed by surgeons to treat disease, not by general pathologists. Pathologists analyze tissue samples to diagnose diseases.
Study Notes
General Pathology
- Autopsy is a common technique used in general pathology, which involves the examination of a deceased person's body to determine the cause of death and identify any diseases or abnormalities.
Clinical Applications
- Immunohistochemistry is a common clinical application of general pathology, where antibodies are used to detect specific proteins in tissues to diagnose diseases.
Key Focus
- The key focus of general pathology is to understand the mechanisms of disease, including the causes, progression, and consequences of diseases, to ultimately improve diagnosis and treatment.
