    Study Notes

    Microscopy

    • Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples and objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye
    • Microscopy refers to any type of examination in the pathology lab workflow that is conducted with a microscope
    • Microscopes enable pathologists to see abnormalities that would not be seen with the naked eye, such as fine structure, subtle color differences, or the number of cells in a certain specimen

    Types of Microscopes

    • Light Microscope (Optical Microscope)
      • Uses visible light and glass lenses to magnify samples up to 1000 times
      • Resolving power of 0.2 µm
      • Common for general observation of tissues and cells
      • Types: Phase contrast microscope, Polarizing Microscope, Confocal Microscope, Fluorescence Microscope
    • Electron Microscope
      • Based on the very short wavelength of electrons
      • Resolving power of 1 nm
      • Used for studying the ultrastructure of cells and tissues
      • Types: Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

    Light Microscope

    • Contains two main lenses: objectives and eyepieces (ocular)
    • Objective gathers the light that passes through the tissue, whereas the eyepiece projects the tissue image on the eye
    • Total magnification is the result of multiplying the objective magnification by the eyepiece magnification
    • Magnification and resolution power must not be confused

    Electron Microscope

    • Uses magnets instead of glass lenses, which work as magnetic lenses by concentrating the electron beam
    • Changes in magnification power are set by modulating the speed of the electrons, which also modifies the wavelength frequency
    • Requires a vacuum environment for the electrons to travel in
    • Types: Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

    Histology

    • The microscopic study of the structure, composition, and function of tissues
    • Includes General Histology (study of the 4 basic tissues) and Systemic Histology (study of tissues of the different organs/organ systems)

    Preparation of Tissue for Histological Study

    • Fixing
    • Processing (dehydration, clearing, and infiltration)
    • Embedding
    • Sectioning
    • Mounting

    Type 1 Diabetes Overview

    • An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

    Causes

    • Exact cause remains unknown; attributed to a mix of genetic predisposition and environmental influences.
    • Potential triggers include viral infections and other autoimmune disorders.

    Symptoms

    • Increased thirst and frequent urination characterize the condition.
    • Patients experience extreme hunger and fatigue.
    • Blurred vision and unintended weight loss may occur.
    • Ketoacidosis can develop, presenting a life-threatening risk.

    Diagnosis

    • Diagnosis involves blood tests to assess glucose levels:
      • Fasting blood sugar test measures baseline glucose after fasting.
      • Random blood sugar test assesses glucose levels at any time.
      • Hemoglobin A1C test indicates average blood glucose over a period.

    Management

    • Insulin therapy is crucial for managing Type 1 diabetes:
      • Various types of insulin: rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting tailored to individual needs.
    • Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems track glucose levels in real-time.
    • Regular blood glucose checks help maintain control.
    • Diet management and consistent physical activity are essential components of care.

    Complications

    • Long-term complications can arise from poorly managed diabetes:
      • Heart disease as a significant risk factor.
      • Kidney damage characterized by diabetic nephropathy.
      • Nerve damage leading to diabetic neuropathy.
      • Eye damage known as diabetic retinopathy.
      • Foot complications that can result in infections.

    Lifestyle Considerations

    • A balanced diet focusing on controlled carbohydrate intake is crucial.
    • Regular physical exercise improves insulin sensitivity and overall health.
    • Education on diabetes management is important for both patients and their families to ensure effective care.

    Research and Future Directions

    • Ongoing research is investigating potential immunotherapy options.
    • Advancements in artificial pancreas technology aim to enhance blood glucose management.
    • Exploration of beta cell transplantation and gene therapy as future treatment options for Type 1 diabetes.
