What is the pathophysiology of pimples in relation to eating fatty foods?
Q. Could anyone explain the pathophysiology why eating fatty foods, like the fat in pork, results to having pimples in people who are prone to such skin problem?

A. Science is not so developed to pin-point the exact cause or rule out something else. But it is noticed in various circumstances why pimples erupt favourably. They are as follows A) Hormonal changes - occurring during puberty, menstrual periods, pregnancy, and while people start or stop using birth control pills will mostly aggravate pimples. The male sex hormone testosterone (also found in women) triggers the sebaceous glands to produce excess sebum, making the skin greasy, which in turn causes pimples. Period of Puberty - Is pimple a sign of puberty? It occurs in both sexes due to excess sebum production, but predominately occurs in females Premenstrual symptom - Is pimple an indicator of periods?

A. Three things happen to your lungs when you are having an asthma attack: 1. The muscles outside your larger airways (bronchi) clamp down. 2. The inside of your airways swell up because they are inflamed, a similar process to scratching your skin someplace: it swells up and gets puffy. 3. The mucus production inside your airways steps up to help your lungs fight off what's irritating them. So, airways get a lot smaller because of 1 and 2, and more mucus makes you want to cough more. You don't feel like you are getting enough air in. It's hard to breathe. It feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. It's hard to avoid panic.

A. Anatomy is structure (mustles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.), physiology is function (metabolism, muscle action, organ function, etc.), and pathophysiology is how function goes wrong in a disease state. More simply put, anatomy is what you've got, physiology is how you use it, and pathophysiology is how it breaks down and what happens then.

Q. what are the factors to change the ejection fraction
Asked by jdjustice8912 - Thu Apr 16 19:34:52 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The heart does not eject all of the blood that is in the ventricle. Only about two-thirds of the blood is normally pumped out with each beat. That fraction is referred to the ejection fraction. The ejection fraction is an indicator of the heart's health. If the heart is diseased from a heart attack or another cardiac condition, the ejection fraction may fall, for example, to a third. Only a third of the blood in the ventricle is pumped out. The heart is essentially half-normal .Because the left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber, ejection fraction is usually measured only in the left ventricle. For the majority of congestive heart failure patients, treatment should focus on using the recommended doses of an ACE inhibitor and… [cont.]

Asked by Michael B - Tue Sep 18 06:05:44 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Although much is known about how multiple sclerosis causes damage, the reasons why multiple sclerosis occurs are not known. Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the myelin (a fatty substance which covers the axons of nerve cells) degenerates. According to the view of most researchers, a special subset of lymphocytes, called T cells, plays a key role in the development of MS. According to a strictly immunological explanation of MS, the inflammatory processes triggered by the T cells create leaks in the blood-brain barrier (a capillary system that should prevent entrance of T-cells into the nervous system). These leaks, in turn, cause a number of other damaging effects such as swelling, activation of macrophages, and more activation of… [cont.]

The child does not have sufficient oxygen carrried in the blood and the toes and fingers can "club" in the process.
