what is the deffinition of neoropathy?

Neuropathy is a disease of the peripheral nervious system. It has a tendency to afflict diabetics, and is most common in the feet and legs. Besides diabetes, it can also be brought on by acute nerve damage (as from traumatic injury or surgery), infection, or cancer and its related treatments. The most common symptoms are pain and/or numbness in the affected area. Treatment is simply targeted at reducing or eliminating the pain, not necessarily as easy as it sounds considering that often times even opioid analgesics (like Vicodin or morphine) are not incredibly effective.

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.

see your doctor to have a battery of blood work done to determine if the w/b/cells are indeed diminishing.  if they are, there has to be an organic illness causing this to happen.  you need to find out what the cause is and determine whether or not there is drug therapy available to correct the disorder.

Megaloblastic anemia, also called pernicious anemia, is a type of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells. In addition to the cells being large, the inner contents of each cell are not completely developed. This malformation causes the bone marrow to produce fewer cells, and sometimes the cells die earlier than the 120-day life expectancy. Instead of being round or disc-shaped, the red blood cells can be oval.

The gradual degeneration of bones.  It is mainly associated with decreased levels of estrogen in women, old age, decreased calcium and vitamin D intake and a lack of weight bearing exercise. It can happen to men but usually affects post menopausal women.

heres a good website with info on that...\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/73/87995.htm\nBut I'd really recommmend that you speak with a doctor.

Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is an idiopathic disorder of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world that is characterized by the development of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common form and occurs when the middle layer of the heart cavity wall - the myocardium - is excessively rigid, impairing the filling of the ventricles with blood between heartbeats. \nPlease see Google search for more details on Endomyocardial fibrosis.

Corneal neovascularization has a low incidence among contact lens wearers who properly care for their lenses, follow all cleaning directions, and discard their lenses at the appropriate times. Typically patients who use extended-wear lenses (such as the kind you can leave in for two-weeks at a time) experience this problem much more often. However, with the invention of more permeable substances, contact lenses (such as Acuvue Advance or Night & Day) are much more permeable to oxygen and help reduce the risk of corneal neovascularization.\n\nThe symptoms of corneal neovascularization include diplopia (double vision), eye pain, redness, or minor yet noticable problems within the visual field. If you are a contact lens wearer then routine eye examinations by optometrists or ophthamologists should include screening for corneal neovascularization. The healthcare professional should be able to easily appreciate fine, irregular vasculature permeating into the cornea on one or both eyes.\n\nCorneal neovascularization is a serious problem and can lead to permanent damage to the eye. Treatment for mild cases includes switching the patient to glasses or another type of contact lens. Severe cases, however, may require corneal transplantation.

it is called endocytosis and it is a form of bulk movement in for cells. "endo-" meaning in, "-cytosis" meaning cell. \n\nEndocytosis is a process whereby cells absorb material (molecules or other cells) from outside by engulfing it with their cell membranes. It is used by cells (especially protists) because most substances important to them are polar and consist of big molecules, and thus cannot pass through the highly hydrophobic plasma membrane.

Take a look at the websites below for more information. I can decode some of that for you. I can't tell you how serious it is...you need to find a doctor who will talk to you and explain things. \n\nLeiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that affects smooth muscles. Low to intermediate grade is not as bad as advanced, so that part sounds positive. Focal necrosis means there is a part of the tissue sample that shows cells that are dying. I can't tell you what that means in the overall picture. The mitotic count is a measure of how many cells in the sample are dividing. HPF means high power field. I'm taking this to mean that when they looked under a high power microscope, 2-3 out of 10 cells were dividing. I can't give you a reference number for what is normal, but in general, more cells dividing would indicate the tumor is growing faster than a low number. \n\nImmunohistochemistry means staining the cells in the sample with markers to see what kind of cells they are. CD34 is a marker for undifferentiated cells. S-100 is another marker, but I can't tell you exactly what it indicates. The presence or absence of markers can mean either good or bad news, but I don't know exactly how these are used here and I don't want to guess.\n\nThat doesn't really answer your questions, because you really need a doctor who knows this case to tell you what to expect. I hope that makes it a little less mysterious, but I'm afraid it's not much help. It makes me sad to think that someone would just hand you this report and not give you some help in understanding what is going on. Sometimes hospitals have a social worker who is there to translate the medical jargon into things you really want and need to know. Ask if there is someone like this. I hope it's a good outcome. Good luck.
