Human Anatomy and Disease Overview

Encapsulated Organisms

• Listed encapsulated organisms include Hemophilus and Neisseria.
• Outer membrane of Salmonella can cause diarrhea.
• Arthropod exoskeletons exist.
• Paramyxoviruses and orthomyxoviruses utilize host cell membranes to form capsules.
• Creutzfeldt-Jacobs disease involves prions.
• Cushing's syndrome can cause bone damage.

Hormone Synthesis and Regulation

• Cortisol is synthesized in the kidney from a precursor.
• 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (Calcitriol) is involved.
• Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is involved.
• Osteoclasts are activated by PTH.
• Calcium and Vitamin D are involved in bone health.
• Estrogen is a factor.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment

• Carbamazepine is used to treat trigeminal neuralgia.
• It works by affecting sodium channels.

Nerve Damage and Movements

• Damage to the median nerve can affect finger movement.
• Thumb abduction and adduction involve specific muscles.

Skin Layers

• Stratum corneum is the outermost skin layer.
• Stratum granulosum is another skin layer involved in keratinocyte function.
• Stratum spinosum contains desmosomes that break during acantholysis.
• Stratum basale is composed of various vital cells.

Facial Nerve Lesions

• Lesions after the internal acoustic meatus and before the geniculate nuclei might cause specific neurological symptoms affecting taste, hearing etc.
• Lesions after the geniculate nucleus can have hyperacusis and metallic taste symptoms.
• Facial nerve lesions can cause issues with facial expression and muscle function.
• Parotid gland tumors/lesions can also cause swelling and facial expression loss.

Measurement Validity and Reliability

• Same measure, same outcome, same method is considered relevant, repeatable, and appropriate.
• Methods using the same measure, same outcome, differing methods are also relevant and might also be repeatable.
• Relevant and appropriate measures are also critical for valid measurements by users.

Other Medical Conditions and Treatments

• Black stool and joint pain might indicate nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use.
• Koilonychias and tongue atrophy are possible conditions.
• Treatment of small cell carcinoma involves chemotherapy.
• Diabetic patients with renal impairment display fatigue and shortness of breath.
• Chemical carcinogens cause cancer.
• Prolonged or excessive bleeding at regular intervals, bleeding at irregular intervals, and increased bleeding are potential concerns.
• Mutations in colon cancer can involve specific regulators during cell cycle.
• Swelling and facial expression loss could be related to parotid gland tumor/lesion.
• Low vegetable intake can lead to scurvy and tooth loss.
• In reproductive health, progesterone release occurs during the secretory phase.
• Reproductive hormones like LH, HCG, can stimulate or regulate different reproductive functions.
• Treatments for infections and diseases involve various substances like antibiotics (cephalosporin, vancomycin, rifampicin, gentamicin, quinolone), anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Prolonged bleeding can occur during different cycles (menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, polymenorrhea)
• Disorders relating to the auditory system or face are potentially serious and should be treated with relevant medical/ surgical attention.
• Aneurysm in the aorta could be a result of genetic disorders.
• Muscle weakness can arise due to conditions like myasthenia gravis.
• Severe disorders like facial nerve lesions or other neurological impairment warrant immediate attention and medical treatment.
• Tumors and lesions located in different areas/structures of the body can have consequences based on their location and the nature of the tumor.
• Different types of infections have varying symptoms in different people. Additional symptoms include skin conditions like blisters and cheesy vaginal discharge.
