Definition of General Pathology?
85988
General pathology is concerned with the mechanisms underlying disease processes, as manifested by morphologic (gross, cellular, and ultrastructural), physiologic, and biochemical changes. The main topics covered are cellular degeneration, inflammation, tissue repair, circulatory disturbance, chemical and physical injury, and development.

Phone up the Royal college of Surgeons: there are some overseas exams these days. However there is a HIGH failure rate in these. You are advised to go on the official MRCS courses...where I will teach you!!!\nBrush up your anatomy and physiology.\nFor the viva there is a good book by David Lowe on the Pathology.\nGood Luck

Angie,\n\nI'm assuming that you want some information on the organism's effect on the body, rather than information on the organism itself.\n\nTry http://www.pathguy.com  This is a website that is run in it's entirety by a pathology professor.  All the information in every lecture (all the 'articles' you find there are actually lectures he gives to his students), cites specific articles that appeared on NEJM, Disease-a-month, etc...nothing is anecdotal.\n\nGood luck!

As a science... it is ROCK SOLID.\n\nMost human tissues contain markers that are a unique to the individual as FINGERPRINTS, EYE SCANS or SNOWFLAKES.\n\nI've not heard of this DISORDER... but if it effects results, then I would guess that the disorder would be a cause to question results.

When an unknown virus, microbe, protein, etc (foreign stuff) called in general antigen, enters the organism, the organism responses to it, in a specific way and tries to fight it. Immunology studies the agents in the organism that respond to the antigen (called antibodies) and the mechanisms by which they fight it.

No, it is not the study of diseases within the body, changes, etc... \n\n\nForensic pathology, first recognized by the American Board of Pathology in 1959, is a branch of medicine concerned with determining cause of death usually for civil or criminal law cases. The word forensics is derived from the Latin forēnsis meaning public or forum.\n\nScope of Forensic Pathology\nThe Forensic pathologist:\n\n-Performs autopsies to determine cause of death (such as a bullet wound to the head, exsanguination, strangulation, etc.) and manner of death (including homicide, accident, natural, or suicide). \n-Examines wounds and injuries due to crime or negligence. \n-Examines tissue specimens that may be relevant to rape or other crimes. \n-Forensic pathologists also work closely with the coroner (England and Wales) or medical examiner (United States). \n-The examination of dead bodies (autopsy or post mortem) is a subset of anatomical pathology. \n-Serves as an expert in courts of law testifying in civil or criminal law cases. \n-Forensic pathologists are often also known as forensic medical examiners or police surgeons.

This means a condition in which the lymphoid tissue which forms your body's immune system,begins to malfunction and produces certain types of cells in excess of what is needed.\nlt is commoner in children.\nThis in turn lowers the body's overall immunity and causes increased susceptibility to infections.\nThere are many types of Lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD's) and a low -grade type is the most easily treated.\nTreatment options include medication,chemotherapy and occasionally surgical techniques depending on the symptoms and organ affected.

A lesion is a non-specific term referring to abnormal tissue in the body. It can be caused by any disease process including trauma (physical, chemical, electrical), infection, neoplasm, metabolic and autoimmune.\n\nIf it is present in brain then it is called "brain lesions".

A disease marked by the uncontrolled growth of cells, often with invasion of healthy tissues locally or throughout the body. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S, after the cardiovascular diseases. In 2003 the American Cancer Society estimated that about 560,000 Americans died of cancer, and twice that number were newly diagnosed with one form or another of the disease. The most common cancers in the U.S. are lung, breast, colon, prostate, and skin. Because most cancers occur in patients who are age 65 or older, the incidence of cancer is expected to increase as the population ages. More than 200 kinds of cancer have been identified. Cancers that arise from epithelial tissues are called carcinomas; from mesenchymal tissues, sarcomas; from lymphatic cells, lymphomas; from blood-forming cells, leukemias. Cancer cells have several reproductive advantages over normal cells. They can make proteins that stimulate their own growth or that stimulate new blood vessels to bring them nourishment. They can produce enzymes that prevent their chromosomes from aging. They can invade the bloodstream and find places to grow in new tissues. Usually, as cancer cells proliferate, they become increasingly abnormal and require more of the body's metabolic output for their growth and development. Damage caused by their invasion of healthy tissues results in organ malfunction, pain, and, often, death.

Boy its been a long time since Oral Pathology\n\nI know one when I see one most of the time. \n\nA cyst, I think has epithelial tissue surrounding something, either a dead space or other mass.  A granuloma lacks a well defined epithelial layer.  \n\ngood luck in Dental School
