Oncogenes are mutated proto-oncogenes that can cause normal cells to become cancerous. Proto-oncogenes regulate cell growth and differentiation and are involved in signal transduction and mitogenic signals. They can become oncogenes through point mutations, increased expression from gene amplification, or chromosomal translocations. The first confirmed oncogene, src, was discovered in 1970. Oncogenes are classified into groups based on their functions, such as secreted growth factors, cell surface receptors, intracellular transducers, and regulators of the cell cycle. The challenge is developing cancer treatments that kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells.

Oncogenes 
Oncogenes VISHAKHA UPADHYAY An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, they are mutated or expressed at high levels. Most normal cells undergo a programmed form of rapid cell death (apoptosis) when critical functions are altered.
Oncogenes
OncogenesDr.M.Prasad Naidu Cancer is caused by mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and proliferation. These mutations can activate proto-oncogenes into oncogenes or inactivate tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes promote cell growth while tumor suppressor genes normally inhibit cell proliferation. Common mechanisms of proto-oncogene activation include chromosomal translocations, gene amplifications, and point mutations. Disruptions to cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, telomere maintenance and DNA repair pathways can also contribute to cancer development by allowing abnormal cell growth and survival.
Oncogenes 
Oncogenes Dhanya K C This document discusses oncogenes and their role in cancer development. It notes that oncogenes are activated versions of normal cellular genes that regulate cell proliferation, growth, survival and other processes. Oncogenes become activated through genetic mutations, chromosomal translocations, or gene amplification. Some key oncogenes mentioned include Ras, MYC, and BCL2. The document also explains how certain oncogenes contribute to cancer properties like unlimited replication, evading cell death, and stimulating angiogenesis.

Proto oncogenes . Dr. Abhinav Golla , Associate Professor , Lab Dire...Aadhya Medicure Pathlabs Vijayanagar colony.hyderabad Proto-oncogenes are normal cellular genes that encode proteins involved in cell proliferation. When mutated, they become oncogenes that encode constitutively active oncoproteins driving increased cell growth. Proto-oncogenes can encode growth factors, growth factor receptors, signal transducers, transcription factors, or cell cycle regulators. Common mutations include RAS mutations in pancreatic cancer, BRAF mutations in melanoma, PI3K mutations in breast cancer, and MYC translocations in Burkitt's lymphoma. These mutations result in constitutive activation of signaling pathways that drive uncontrolled cell proliferation.
Cancer and Oncogenesis
Cancer and OncogenesisSougata Ganguly Cancer is mainly caused by the conversion of proto-oncogenes into oncogenes. The process is known as oncogenesis.
This slide will help to get an idea about oncogenesis and also the proto-oncogenes which get converted.
Tumor suppressorgenes
Tumor suppressorgenesPrasad CSBR 1) Tumor suppressor genes normally apply brakes to cell proliferation through proteins that form checkpoints to prevent uncontrolled growth. Loss of function of these genes allows tumor development.
2) The proteins encoded by tumor suppressor genes regulate cell cycle control, apoptosis, and cell survival/growth through mechanisms like transcription factors, cell cycle inhibitors, and DNA damage response.
3) Famous tumor suppressor genes include RB, p53, APC, and WT1. Mutation of both copies is required for loss of function, leading to cancers like retinoblastoma, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, colon cancer, and Wilms tumor.
P53
P53Vijay Shankar The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that regulates the cell cycle and prevents tumor formation. It acts as the "guardian of the genome" by inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in damaged cells. p53 is commonly mutated in cancer, inactivating its normal functions and allowing damaged cells to continue dividing. When p53 is mutated, DNA damage fails to trigger cell cycle arrest, potentially leading to neoplastic transformation. The document discusses p53's role in DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation as well as how it is inactivated through mutations and the cancers most associated with p53 mutations, such as breast, colorectal, liver, lung, and ovarian cancers.
Genomic imprinting 
Genomic imprinting SumedhaBobade Genomic imprinting refers to genes whose expression depends on whether they are inherited maternally or paternally. Imprinted genes are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone modifications. Disruption of imprinting can cause diseases in both humans and animals. In humans, imprinting disorders include Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes, which result from deletions on chromosome 15 and can be paternal or maternal in origin. In animals, disruption of imprinting can cause conditions like large offspring syndrome.

Dna repair mechanism
Dna repair mechanismNepalgunj Medical College and Teaching Hospital DNA can become damaged through external environmental factors like radiation or internally through natural chemical reactions. If left unrepaired, damaged DNA can lead to cancer or genetic disorders. The body has multiple DNA repair mechanisms including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and double-strand break repair. These mechanisms recognize and remove damaged or incorrect DNA bases. Enzymes then excise the damage and DNA polymerases fill in the correct DNA sequence before ligases seal the DNA backbone. Without effective DNA repair, mutations can accumulate and cause cell harm.
Complementary DNA (cDNA) Libraries
Complementary DNA (cDNA) LibrariesRamesh Pothuraju This document discusses different strategies for cloning DNA fragments from complex sources like genomic DNA or cDNA. There are two major approaches - cell-based cloning, which divides the DNA into fragments that are cloned to create a library, and directly amplifying target sequences using PCR. The document focuses on cDNA library construction, explaining that cDNA libraries reveal gene expression profiles. It describes early cDNA cloning methods and their limitations, as well as improved directional and non-directional cloning techniques. Finally, it discusses various screening methods for identifying clones of interest from cDNA libraries, including colony hybridization, plaque lifts and immunological screening.
Rna polymerase & transcription in prokaryotes
Rna polymerase & transcription in prokaryotesgohil sanjay bhagvanji RNA polymerase is an essential enzyme that copies DNA to produce different types of RNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, a single type of RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. Transcription in prokaryotes involves initiation at promoter sequences, elongation as the RNA polymerase moves along DNA, and termination at specific sequences. Initiation requires the RNA polymerase binding to the promoter, unwinding the DNA, and beginning RNA synthesis. Elongation continues RNA synthesis as the DNA unwinds. Termination occurs at specific sequences like palindromes that allow RNA secondary structure formation and polymerase release.
miRNA
miRNANikhil Aggarwal MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important gene regulatory roles in eukaryotic cells. They are approximately 22 nucleotides in length and are transcribed from independent genes or introns, then processed through a biogenesis pathway before targeting mRNAs for silencing or degradation. MiRNAs regulate genes involved in development, metabolism, and diseases like cancer. Their expression and function is tightly controlled through transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms in order to influence protein expression levels. While much progress has been made in understanding miRNAs, further study is still needed to elucidate their complex regulatory networks and roles in development and disease.

Gene mapping methods
Gene mapping methodsMEENAKSHI DAS Gene mapping involves determining the physical location of genes on chromosomes. There are two main types of gene mapping: genetic mapping and physical mapping. Genetic mapping uses genetic techniques like linkage analysis to construct maps showing relative gene positions based on recombination frequencies. Physical mapping uses molecular biology techniques to directly examine DNA and determine absolute positions of genes and sequences. Key methods in physical mapping include restriction mapping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and sequence tagged site (STS) mapping. Gene mapping is important for understanding genetic diseases and developing gene therapy methods.

Cancer : A Genetic Mishap - Dr HK GargPROFESSOR Dr. H.K. Garg This document discusses cancer as a genetic mishap caused by the loss of regulatory mechanisms that control cell division, differentiation, and survival. Cancer results when cells grow and divide in an uncontrolled manner due to additional mutations that alter the genome. Oncogenes can be introduced through viral infection or DNA introduction and promote uncontrolled growth by encoding proteins that promote loss of growth control. Tumor suppressor genes normally restrain cell growth but require mutations in both alleles to be inactivated, allowing unchecked cell proliferation. DNA damage and mutations in key cell cycle genes like p53 and Rb disrupt normal cell cycle checkpoints and genetic stability, enabling malignant growth.

Genetic basis of cancerIkram Ullah Environmental mutagens like tobacco smoke, UV light, and aflatoxin B1 can cause cancer-causing mutations in genes like p53. Inflammation from irritants like asbestos creates a microenvironment that promotes cancer growth through oxidative stress and cytokines. Cancer arises through Darwinian selection as mutations give cells a proliferative advantage, allowing them to outcompete normal cells. Tumors evolve clonally as new mutations confer properties like evasion of cell death and metabolism changes. Colorectal cancer progression involves mutations accumulating in crypt stem cells, forming aberrant crypt foci and adenomas that may become malignant. While cancer cells continue dividing, their cell cycle is not necessarily faster than normal cells. Germline

There are four classes of genes that regulate cell growth: proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, genes that regulate apoptosis, and genes involved in DNA repair. Oncogenes can be activated by mutations, gene fusions, or amplification and drive cancer progression. The products of oncogenes resemble normal growth factors, growth factor receptors, signal transducers, transcription factors, apoptosis regulators, and chromatin remodelers but endow cells with autonomous growth.
Cell cycle and carcinogenesis by Hussein Sabit
Cell cycle and carcinogenesis by Hussein SabitHussein Sabit Cell cycle checkpoints play an important role in ensuring the proper progression of the cell cycle and preventing unregulated cell growth. Checkpoints at the G1/S and G2/M transitions verify that the cell is ready to progress prior to DNA replication or mitosis. Loss of checkpoint function can allow mutations to accumulate, potentially leading to carcinogenesis. Cancer arises through genetic changes that disrupt the normal balance between cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This includes mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes such as p53, which normally function to regulate the cell cycle and cell growth.

It was previously believed that factors like spicy food, smoking, and stress caused ulcers, but researchers discovered in the 1980s that the Helicobacter pylori bacteria is actually the primary cause. H. pylori invades the stomach lining and disrupts the protective mucus layer, allowing stomach acid to damage the tissues. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also cause ulcers by damaging the stomach mucus. Diagnosis involves endoscopy or tests for H. pylori in tissues, blood, stool, or breath, and treatment consists of antibiotics to cure H. pylori infections along with medications to reduce acid.
DownDown syndrome
DownDown syndromeBAlbeer Singh Down syndrome is the most common genetic cause of learning disabilities in children and is caused by having three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal two copies. People with Down syndrome used to have much shorter life expectancies but can now expect to live to 50 years or older, though they may have increased risks of health issues like heart defects, leukemia, or dementia as they age. Common physical traits of Down syndrome include flattened facial features, a small head, and poor muscle tone. Screening tests during pregnancy can help detect Down syndrome.
DeDengue fever
DeDengue feverBAlbeer Singh Dengue fever is caused by viruses transmitted through mosquito bites. The virus infects mosquitoes which then transmit the virus to humans during blood feeding. Common symptoms include high fever, headaches, muscle and joint pains. While there is no specific treatment, rest and fluid intake can help reduce fever. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing, using mosquito nets, and removing stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding.
Komodo dragon
Komodo dragonBAlbeer Singh The document summarizes research on the antibacterial properties of serum from the Komodo dragon. It finds that as little as 10% Komodo dragon serum produced significant decreases in growth of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial cultures. The serum was shown to kill E. coli bacteria rapidly, eliminating over 68% of bacteria within 20 minutes. This suggests Komodo dragons have developed potent innate immune defenses through serum antibacterial properties to resist infections from bacteria in their saliva.

Biotechnology product presentationBAlbeer Singh This document discusses the properties and uses of Sargassum Wightii seaweed. It notes that Sargassum Wightii is rich in nutrients like iodine, vitamin B12, iron, and riboflavin. It has anticancer properties and contains fucoidan, which causes cancer cells to self-destruct. Sargassum flakes have been developed containing an extract of Sargassum Wightii to provide its benefits while avoiding the risks of too much iodine. The flakes are recommended to help enhance the effects of conventional cancer treatment by consuming 0.25 ounces daily with breakfast. They can also be consumed preventatively by healthy individuals and pose no known risks.
Cri du-chat syndrome
Cri du-chat syndromeBAlbeer Singh Cri-du-chat syndrome, also known as chromosome 5p deletion syndrome, is caused by a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 5. It is characterized by a cat-like cry in affected infants due to problems with larynx development. Other symptoms include small size, mental retardation, small head and jaw, distinctive facial features and limb abnormalities. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms through physical and speech therapy. The condition occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 live births.
Marijauan
MarijauanBAlbeer Singh This document discusses medicinal marijuana. It provides information on:
- The history of marijuana use dating back to ancient times.
- How marijuana is made from the cannabis plant and the effects of THC, including distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, and problems with learning and memory.
- Potential therapeutic uses of marijuana including treating nausea from chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients, and potentially treating conditions like chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases.
- How marijuana may help with issues experienced by cancer patients like nausea, vomiting, weight loss, mood, pain, sleep, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, constipation, itching, and potentially even treating cancer itself.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever
Ebola hemorrhagic feverBAlbeer Singh Ebola virus disease first appeared in 1976 in two outbreaks in central Africa. The current west Africa outbreak beginning in 2014 is the largest on record. Ebola virus is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding and damages organs and the immune system. It spreads through contact with infected animals like bats or non-human primates, or through contact with a sick or dead human's bodily fluids. Health care providers and family members in close contact with patients have the highest risk of infection. While there is no approved vaccine or treatment, experimental treatments aim to manage symptoms and replace fluids and blood.

diabetes mcq by NAME ANKUSH GOYAL (1).pdfDr Ankush goyal Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Overview
Introduction
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. It affects millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality due to its associated complications. This document provides an in-depth discussion of the types, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and complications of diabetes mellitus.
Types of Diabetes Mellitus
1. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)
Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells
Absolute insulin deficiency
Typically presents in childhood or adolescence
Requires lifelong insulin therapy
2. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
Characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency
Strong genetic predisposition
Associated with obesity and sedentary lifestyle
Managed with lifestyle modifications, oral hypoglycemics, and sometimes insulin
3. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
Hyperglycemia first recognized during pregnancy
Increases risk of complications for both mother and baby
Usually resolves postpartum but increases the risk of T2DM later in life
4. Other Specific Types
Monogenic diabetes (MODY, neonatal diabetes)
Secondary diabetes (due to pancreatic diseases, endocrinopathies, drug-induced, etc.)
Pathophysiology
Diabetes results from impaired insulin secretion, action, or both, leading to chronic hyperglycemia. The key mechanisms include:
Type 1 Diabetes: Autoimmune destruction of beta cells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency.
Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin resistance in peripheral tissues and inadequate compensatory insulin secretion by beta cells.
GDM: Hormonal changes in pregnancy lead to insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.
Clinical Features
Symptoms of Hyperglycemia:
Polyuria (excessive urination)
Polydipsia (excessive thirst)
Polyphagia (excessive hunger)
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Complications:
Acute: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS)
Chronic: Microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy) and macrovascular (coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease)
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of diabetes is based on:
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) ≥ 126 mg/dL
Random Plasma Glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL with symptoms of hyperglycemia
2-hour Plasma Glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL during an OGTT
Hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5%
Management
1. Lifestyle Modifications
Healthy diet (low glycemic index, high fiber, reduced saturated fats)
Regular physical activity (at least 150 minutes per week)
Weight management
2. Pharmacological Therapy
Oral Hypoglycemics: Metformin (first-line), sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones
Injectable Therapy: Insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonists
Insulin Therapy: Required for T1DM and some cases of T2DM
3. Monitoring and Complication Prevention
Regular blood glucose

ASTHMA.pdf FOR NURSING STUDENTS CREATED BY KIRAN KARETHA
ASTHMA.pdf FOR NURSING STUDENTS CREATED BY KIRAN KARETHAKIRAN KARETHA Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the
airways (specifically bronchi and bronchioles) which
manifests itself as recurrent episodes of wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness and cough.
It is characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness and
variable airflow obstruction, that is often reversible either
spontaneously or with treatment.
ASTHMA ATTACK:
When breathe normally, muscles around the airways are relaxed,
letting air move easily and quietly. During an asthma attack, three
things can happen:
Bronchospasm: The muscles around the airways constrict (tighten).
When they tighten, it makes the airways narrow. Air cannot flow
freely through constricted airways.
Inflammation: The lining of the airways becomes swollen. Swollen
airways don’t let as much air in or out of the lungs.
Mucus production: During the attack, body creates more mucus.
This thick mucus clogs airways.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION:
Coughing
Chest tightness
Wheezing
Shortness of breath
Chronic production of cough
Dyspnea
Cyanosis
Weight loss and anorexia
Fatigue
Anxiety
Restlessness
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION:
History collection
Physical examination
Chest X-ray
Spirometry
Blood test
Skin test: to identify allergic causes.

ECG-Interpretation-and-Management-of-Arrhythmias.pptx Dr ankush goyalDr Ankush goyal ECG Interpretation and Management
Introduction
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a crucial diagnostic tool used to assess the electrical activity of the heart. It provides essential information about heart rate, rhythm, conduction abnormalities, myocardial ischemia, and electrolyte disturbances. Correct interpretation of an ECG requires a systematic approach and understanding of normal and pathological waveforms.
Basics of ECG Interpretation
1. ECG Waves and Intervals
P wave: Represents atrial depolarization.
PR interval: Time from atrial depolarization to ventricular depolarization (normal: 120-200 ms).
QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization (normal: <120 ms).
ST segment: Represents the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization.
T wave: Represents ventricular repolarization.
QT interval: Duration of ventricular depolarization and repolarization (normal: <450 ms in males, <460 ms in females).
2. Systematic Approach to ECG Interpretation
1. Determine heart rate
Regular rhythm: 300 divided by the number of large squares between R waves.
Irregular rhythm: Count QRS complexes in 6 seconds and multiply by 10.
2. Assess heart rhythm
Regular or irregular?
Presence of P waves?
Relationship between P waves and QRS complexes?
3. Evaluate cardiac axis
Normal: -30 to +90 degrees.
Left axis deviation: <-30 degrees (e.g., left anterior hemiblock, left ventricular hypertrophy).
Right axis deviation: >+90 degrees (e.g., right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary embolism).
4. Analyze P wave morphology
Peaked P waves (right atrial enlargement).
Broad P waves (left atrial enlargement).
5. Assess PR interval
Short PR: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Prolonged PR: First-degree AV block.
6. Inspect QRS complex
Narrow QRS (<120 ms): Normal conduction.
Wide QRS (>120 ms): Bundle branch block or ventricular origin.
7. Evaluate ST segment and T waves
ST elevation: Myocardial infarction.
ST depression: Ischemia or hypokalemia.
Inverted T waves: Ischemia, infarction, or hypertrophy.
8. Check QT interval
Prolonged QT: Risk of Torsades de Pointes.
Short QT: Hypercalcemia.
Common ECG Abnormalities and Management
1. Arrhythmias
a) Sinus Bradycardia
ECG Findings: HR < 60 bpm, normal P waves, and QRS complexes.
Causes: Increased vagal tone, hypothyroidism, beta-blockers.
Management: Treat underlying cause; consider atropine if symptomatic.
b) Sinus Tachycardia
ECG Findings: HR > 100 bpm, normal P waves, and QRS complexes.
Causes: Fever, dehydration, anemia, hyperthyroidism.
Management: Address underlying cause; beta-blockers if needed.
c) Atrial Fibrillation
ECG Findings: Irregularly irregular rhythm, absent P waves, fibrillatory waves.
Causes: Hypertension, valvular heart disease, hyperthyroidism.
Management: Rate control (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers), rhythm control (amiodarone, cardioversion), anticoagulation (warfarin, DOACs).
d) Atrial Flutter
ECG Findings: Sawtooth flutter
Type 4 hypersensitivity reactions byvDR ANKUSH GOYAL GMC PATIALA
Type 4 hypersensitivity reactions byvDR ANKUSH GOYAL GMC PATIALADr Ankush goyal 🔬 Introduction: Understanding Type IV Hypersensitivity
Type IV hypersensitivity is a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), unlike immediate hypersensitivity reactions (Types I-III). 🕒
It is T-cell mediated rather than antibody-driven. This means it involves CD4+ T helper cells (Th1, Th17) and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells rather than IgE, IgG, or IgM. 🦠
The response takes 24-72 hours after exposure to an antigen, which is why it is called delayed. ⏳
Examples include contact dermatitis, tuberculosis (TB) skin reactions, granulomatous inflammation, and transplant rejection. 🏥
---
🧬 Pathophysiology: How It Works?
1. Sensitization Phase (First Exposure) 🏗️
The antigen (e.g., nickel, TB antigen, or poison ivy urushiol) is processed by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) like macrophages and dendritic cells.
These APCs present the antigen on MHC-II molecules to naïve CD4+ T cells, activating them. ⚡
CD4+ T cells differentiate into Th1 (mainly) and Th17 cells, producing cytokines like IFN-γ and TNF-α.
2. Effector Phase (Second Exposure) 🎯
Upon re-exposure, memory Th1 cells release cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2), activating macrophages. 🔥
Macrophages become hyperactivated, releasing enzymes, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inflammatory mediators, leading to tissue destruction. 💣
In some cases, CD8+ T cells also get activated and kill infected or abnormal cells directly. 🗡️
---
📌 Types of Type IV Hypersensitivity Reactions
There are four major subtypes based on mechanisms and clinical presentations:
1️⃣ Contact Hypersensitivity (Eczema & Contact Dermatitis) 🤲🔴
Triggers: Poison ivy, nickel, latex, fragrances, hair dye. 🌿💍🧤
Mechanism: Small molecules (haptens) bind to skin proteins → APCs present them → Th1 cells activate macrophages → local inflammation and rash.
Example: Poison ivy reaction (blisters, redness, itching).
2️⃣ Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivity (Mantoux Test) 💉🦠
Triggers: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Histoplasma, Brucella.
Mechanism: Injected PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) activates memory Th1 cells → Macrophages release cytokines → Local induration and erythema within 48-72 hours.
Example: Mantoux (PPD) Test for tuberculosis.
3️⃣ Granulomatous Hypersensitivity (Chronic Inflammation) 🦠⏳
Triggers: TB, Leprosy, Sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease, Schistosomiasis.
Mechanism: Persistent antigenic stimulation → Th1 cells release IFN-γ → Macrophages transform into epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells → Granuloma formation (walling off infection).
Example: TB granuloma with caseous necrosis.
4️⃣ T-cell Mediated Cytotoxicity (Graft Rejection & Autoimmunity) 🏥⚔️
Triggers: Organ transplants, viral infections, Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Mechanism: CD8+ T cells recognize infected or foreign cells and kill them via perforins and granzymes.

Nervous System (Neurons and Neuroglia).pptx
Nervous System (Neurons and Neuroglia).pptxPranaliChandurkar2 Nervous tissue comprises two types of cells—neurons and neuroglia.
Neuroglia are smaller cells but they greatly outnumber neurons, perhaps by as much as 25 times.
Neuroglia support, nourish, and protect neurons, and maintain the interstitial fluid that bathes them.
Unlike neurons, neuroglia continue to divide throughout an individual’s lifetime.
[Neurons does not undergo mitosis process because they lack centrioles.]
Both neurons and neuroglia differ structurally depending on whether they are located in the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system.
These differences in structure correlate with the differences in function of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
Neurons
Neurons (nerve cells) possess electrical excitability, the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into an action potential.
A stimulus is any change in the environment that is strong enough to initiate an action potential.
Example: Outside of the body (touch, pain sensation) and Inside of the body (hormonal imbalance)
An action potential (nerve impulse) is an electrical signal that propagates (travels) along the surface of the membrane of a neuron. It begins and travels due to the movement of ions (such as sodium and potassium) between interstitial fluid and the inside of a neuron through specific ion channels in its plasma membrane.
Once begun, a nerve impulse travels rapidly and at a constant strength.
Nerve impulses travel these great distances at speeds ranging from 0.5 to 130 meters per second.
Parts of a Neuron
Most neurons have three parts:
(1) a cell body,
(2) dendrites, and
(3) an axon
Classification of Neurons
structural and functional features are used to classify the various neurons in the body.
Structural Classification
1. Multipolar neurons usually have several dendrites and one axon
Most neurons in the brain and spinal cord are of this type, as well as all motor neurons
2. Bipolar neurons have one main dendrite and one axon.
They are found in the retina of the eye, the inner ear, and the olfactory area of the brain.
3. Unipolar neurons have dendrites and one axon that are fused together to form a continuous process that emerges from the cell body
Neuroglia
Neuroglia or glia make up about half the volume of the CNS.
Their name derives from the idea of early histologists that they were the “glue” that held nervous tissue together.
We now know that neuroglia are not merely passive bystanders but rather actively participate in the activities of nervous tissue.
Generally, neuroglia are smaller than neurons, and they are 5 to 25 times more numerous.
In contrast to neurons, glia do not generate or propagate action potentials, and they can multiply and divide in the mature nervous system.
Of the six types of neuroglia, four—astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells—are found only in the CNS.
The remaining two types—Schwann cells and satellite cells—are present in the PNS.

Cardiac Amplifiers: A Deep Dive into Inotropes
Cardiac Amplifiers: A Deep Dive into InotropesViresh Mahajani Inotropic drugs are vital in managing acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock, directly influencing myocardial contractility. This presentation delves into their mechanisms, clinical applications, and nursing considerations. We'll explore how positive inotropes, like dobutamine and milrinone, enhance calcium influx, boosting cardiac output but also increasing myocardial oxygen demand. Conversely, we'll discuss the nuances of negative inotropes, such as beta-blockers, used in specific scenarios to reduce workload.
A critical focus will be on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these agents, highlighting their impact on hemodynamic parameters. We'll examine the importance of meticulous monitoring, including blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG, to optimize therapy and mitigate adverse effects like arrhythmias and hypotension. Nursing implications will emphasize safe administration, patient education, and recognizing signs of drug toxicity. Case studies will illustrate the practical application of inotropic therapy in various clinical settings, reinforcing the importance of this knowledge in critical care.

- 2. Introduction • Onco means Cancer • Oncogene is a gene which in certain circumstances can transform a cell into a tumor cell. • A Proto-oncogene is a normal gene that can become an oncogene due to mutations or Increased expression • The resultant protein encoded by an oncogene is termed Oncoprotein Proto-oncogene “Mutation” Oncogene
- 3. History • The term “Oncogene" was coined in 1969 by George Todaro and Robert Heubner. Of National Cancer Institute. • The first confirmed Oncogene was discovered in 1970 and was termed src • In 1976 Drs. Dominique Stehelin, J. Michael and Harold E. Varmus of the University of California demonstrated that oncogenes were activated Proto-Oncogenes, found in many organisms including humans
- 4. Functions of Proto-Oncogene • Help to regulate Cell growth and differentiation • Involved in Signal Transduction • Involved in execution of Mitogenic Signals
- 5. Activation The proto-oncogene can become an oncogene by a relatively small modification of its original function. There are three basic methods of activation: • A mutation within a proto-oncogene, or within a regulatory region (for example the promoter region), can cause a change in the protein structure. • An increase in the amount of a certain protein • A chromosomal Translocation(another type of Chromosome abnormality)
