Study Notes
Definition of Pathology
- Pathology is the study of the structure and function of the body in disease
- It deals with the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs that underlie disease
- Pathology bridges basic science and clinical practice
History of Pathology
- Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was a Belgian who made anatomy a living, working science
- William Harvey (1578-1657) described the blood vascular system and made the discovery of blood circulation in 1628
- Discovery of blood circulation had a significant impact on pathology and changed the course of medicine
- The 16th century is often called the century of anatomy
Prions
- Prions are proteinaceous infective particles that cause diseases in domestic animals and humans
- Prions lack nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) and do not produce inflammatory or immune reactions in the host
- Prions are resistant to many agents that normally inactivate viruses, such as ultraviolet light and standard disinfectants
- Stanley Prusiner discovered prions and won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine
Cell Injury and Cell Death
- Calcium homeostasis is maintained at extremely low concentrations in cytosol
- Intracellular calcium is sequestered in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum
- Ischaemia and toxins increase cytosolic calcium concentration, leading to cell injury and death
- Increased cytosolic calcium activates enzymes that cause membrane damage, protein breakdown, ATP depletion, and chromatin breakdown
