  2. Cryoglobulinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryoglobulinemia

    Cryoglobulinemia is a medical condition in which the blood contains large amounts of cryoglobulins (atypical proteins in the blood) that become insoluble at low temperatures. [1] Cryoglobulinemia is also one of three types in its own family. Type two is when there are two atypical proteins in the blood stream.

    E-nose showed the ability to smell the cause of the exacerbation. [8] The definition of a COPD exacerbation is commonly described as "lost in translation", [9] meaning that there is no universally accepted standard with regard to defining an acute exacerbation of COPD. Many organizations consider it a priority to create such a standard, as it ...

  4. Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryoglobulinemic_vasculitis

    Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a form of inflammation affecting the blood vessels caused by the deposition of abnormal proteins called cryoglobulins.These immunoglobulin proteins are soluble at normal body temperatures, but become insoluble below 37 °C (98.6 °F) and subsequently may aggregate within smaller blood vessels.

  5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Wikipedia

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

  6. Cryofibrinogenemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryofibrinogenemia

    Cryofibrinogenemia refers to a condition classified as a fibrinogen disorder in which a person's blood plasma is allowed to cool substantially (i.e. from its normal temperature of 37 °C to the near-freezing temperature of 4 °C), causing the (reversible) precipitation of a complex containing fibrinogen, fibrin, fibronectin, and, occasionally, small amounts of fibrin split products, albumin ...

    Inflammation-induced damage to the skin's blood vessels causes palpable purpura. Palpable purpura is the clinical manifestation of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which can be idiopathic or linked to sepsis, reactions to drugs, connective tissue diseases, cryoglobulinemia, hepatitis C or B infection, or underlying cancers

  9. Delta ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Ratio

    Results 2 and 4 are the ones which have mixed acid–base disorders. Results 1. and 4. are oddities, mathematically speaking: [ citation needed ] Result 1: if there is a normal anion gap acidosis, the (AG – 12) part of the equation will be close to zero, the delta ratio will be close to zero and there is no mixed acid–base disorder.
