Hi bobbym,

#1058. What does the abbreviation NMP22 signify? (NMP22 is a tumor marker for bladder cancer. It reflects the mitotic activity of cells. It has been developed as a FDA and CE approved bladder cancer detection marker commercialized under the name of NMP22 bladercheck®. Results can be obtained within 30 minutes. This test is proposed for screening, diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer in conjunction with standard diagnostic procedures. Nonetheless there are no recommendation for its systematic use in clinical practice based on clinical guidelines either from the US (American Urological Association guidelines) or in Europe (European Association of Urology guidelines) since there are no level 1 evidence showing that the use of this test would have a significant impact on bladder cancer outcomes.)

Hi bobbym,

#1059. Name the medical term / phrase - (otherwise known as calcaneal apophysitis) It is an inflammation of the growth plate in the heel of growing children, typically adolescents. The condition presents as pain in the heel and is caused by repetitive stress to the heel and is thus particularly common in active children. It usually resolves once the bone has completed growth or activity is lessened.

Hi bobbym,

#1060. What does the abbreviation MSA signify? (A degenerative neurological disorder. MSA is associated with the degeneration of nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. This cell degeneration causes problems with movement, balance, and autonomic functions of the body such as bladder control or blood-pressure regulation. The cause of MSA is unclear and no specific risk factors have been identified, although research indicates that a prion form of the alpha-synuclein protein may be the cause of the disease.
Approximately 55% of MSA cases occur in men, with typical age of onset in the late 50s to early 60s. MSA often presents with some of the same symptoms as Parkinson's disease. However, those with MSA generally show minimal if any response to the dopamine medications used for Parkinson's disease.)

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #1060 (Multiple system atrophy (MSA)) is partially correct! Well done!

2. combination of jaundice, fever, and upper abdominal pain that occurs as a result of cholangitis.

Hi bobbym,

#1062. Name the medical term / phrase - (or coryza) It is irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose. Common symptoms are a stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. In it, the inflammation of the mucous membrane is caused by viruses, bacteria, irritants or allergens. The most common kind of it is allergic rhinitis, which is usually triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen and dander. Allergic form may cause additional symptoms, such as sneezing and nasal itching, coughing, headache, fatigue, malaise, and cognitive impairment. The allergens may also affect the eyes, causing watery, reddened, or itchy eyes and puffiness around the eyes. The inflammation results in the generation of large amounts of mucus, commonly producing a runny nose, as well as a stuffy nose and post-nasal drip.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #1062 (Rhinitis) is correct! Splendid!

#1063. Name the medical term / phrase - Also means Liniments (from the Latin linere, to anoint) It is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin. Sometimes called balms, liniments are of a similar or lesser viscosity than lotions and are rubbed in to create friction, unlike lotions, ointments or creams. Liniments are typically sold to relieve pain and stiffness, such as from sore muscles or arthritis. These are typically formulated from alcohol, acetone, or similar quickly evaporating solvents and contain counterirritant aromatic chemical compounds such as methyl salicilate, benzoin resin, or capsaicin.

Hi bobbym,

#1065. Name the medical term / phrase - The most abundant type of macroglial cell in the CNS, they have numerous projections that anchor neurons to their blood supply. They regulate the external chemical environment of neurons by removing excess ions, the notable one being potassium, and recycling neurotransmitters released during synaptic transmission. The current theory suggests that they may be the predominant "building-blocks" of the blood–brain barrier. They may regulate vasoconstriction and vasodilation by producing substances such as arachidonic acid, whose metabolites are vasoactive.
They signal each other using calcium. The gap junctions (also known as electrical synapses) between them allow the messenger molecule IP3 to diffuse from one of it to another. IP3 activates calcium channels on cellular organelles, releasing calcium into the cytoplasm. This calcium may stimulate the production of more IP3. The net effect is a calcium wave that propagates from cell to cell. Extracellular release of ATP, and consequent activation of purinergic receptors on other such, may also mediate calcium waves in some cases.

#1066. Name the medical term / phrase - Any of a group of blood cell tumors that develop from lymphatic cells. The name often refers to just the cancerous ones rather than all such tumors. Signs and symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching sweats, unintended weight loss, itching, and feeling tired. The enlarged lymph nodes are usually painless. The sweats are most common at night.

Hi bobbym,

#1069. Name the medical term / phrase - It is the process which produces red blood cells (erythrocytes). It is stimulated by decreased oxygen in circulation, which is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the hormone erythropoietin. This hormone stimulates proliferation and differentiation of red cell precursors, which activates increased this in the hemopoietic tissues, ultimately producing red blood cells. In postnatal birds and mammals (including humans), this usually occurs within the red bone marrow. In the early fetus, it takes place in the mesodermal cells of the yolk sac. By the third or fourth month, it moves to the liver. After seven months, it occurs in the bone marrow. Increased level of physical activity can cause an increase in this. However, in humans with certain diseases and in some animals, this also occurs outside the bone marrow, within the spleen or liver.
