Consequently, the incidence of cancer and cancer types varies depending on these variable factors. For...
An individual's white blood cell count can often give a hint as to the severity of the pneumonia and whether it is caused by bacteria or a virus. An increased number of neutrophils, one type of WBC, is seen in most bacterial infections, whereas an increase in lymphocytes, another type ...
First-degree relatives (brothers, sisters, children, and parents) of patients with IBD are therefore more likely to develop these diseases. There have been multiple studies using genome-wide association scans investigating genetic susceptibility in ulcerative colitis. These studies have found there to ...

A complete blood count may show the white blood cell count to be high because of the infection. An increase in a type of white blood cell called "atypical lymphocytes" is common. Liver function tests show elevation of liver enzyme levels in nearly 90% of people with mononucleosis. Health ca...

Lysosomes (single limit membrane) were identified as typical (Fig. 2b, arrows) and atypical lipofuscin bodies. The latter showed a central electron-lucent accumulation with a reticular network (Fig. 2c, arrows). Mitochondria were seen occasionally within phagosomes (autophagocytosis, Fig. 2d, ...
polymicrogyria, multiple neu- ronal heterotopia, callosal dysgenesis, cerebellar atrophy and periven- tricular pseudocysts.7 We describe the first reported homozygous deletion of the SAMHD1 gene causing atypical AGS, presenting in utero with white matter destruction and associated with multiple mtDNA del...
Along with red bone marrow, the lymph nodes are centers for lymphocyte production. Lymphocytes attack viruses, bacteria, and other parasitic cells that are brought to the lymph nodes by lymph in the lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes are important for the proper functioning of the immune system, acti...
