    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_flora

    Skin microflora can be commensals, mutualistic or pathogens. Often they can be all three depending upon the strength of the person's immune system. [3] Research upon the immune system in the gut and lungs has shown that microflora aids immunity development: however such research has only started upon whether this is the case with the skin. [3]

  3. Ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

    The signs and symptoms of ischemia vary, as they can occur anywhere in the body and depend on the degree to which blood flow is interrupted. [4] For example, clinical manifestations of acute limb ischemia (which can be summarized as the "six P's") include pain, pallor, pulseless, paresthesia, paralysis, and poikilothermia.

    Symptoms of ischemic colitis vary depending on the severity of the ischemia. The most common early signs of ischemic colitis include abdominal pain (often left-sided), with mild to moderate amounts of rectal bleeding. [11] The sensitivity of findings among 73 patients were: [12] abdominal pain (78%) lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding (62%)

    Left untreated, conditions causing persistent bacteremia can be potentially fatal. [ 17 ] Bacteremia is clinically distinct from sepsis , which is a condition where the blood stream infection is associated with an inflammatory response from the body, often causing abnormalities in body temperature , heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure ...

  7. Vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

    The narrowing of blood vessels leads to an increase in peripheral resistance, thereby elevating blood pressure. While vasoconstriction is a normal and essential regulatory mechanism for maintaining blood pressure and redistributing blood flow during various physiological processes, its dysregulation can contribute to pathological conditions.

  8. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

    Hypovolemic shock is a form of shock caused by severe hypovolemia (insufficient blood volume or extracellular fluid in the body). [1] [2] It can be caused by severe dehydration or blood loss. [3] [2] Hypovolemic shock is a medical emergency; if left untreated, the insufficient blood flow can cause damage to organs, leading to multiple organ ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_metabolism

    Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce.Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics.
