Pathogen-induced necrosis programs in cells with immunological barriers (intestinal mucosa) may alleviate invasion of pathogens through surfaces affected by inflammation. [1] Toxins and pathogens may cause necrosis; toxins such as snake venoms may inhibit enzymes and cause cell death. [15]
This causes necrosis. [8] Necrosis is a histological term that means death of the pulp. [9] It does not occur suddenly unless there has been trauma. The pulp may be partially necrotic for some time. The area of cell death enlarges until the entire pulp is necrotic. Bacteria invade the pulp which causes the root canal system to become infected. [10]
Liquefactive necrosis (or colliquative necrosis) is a type of necrosis which results in a transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass. [1] Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections, and can also manifest as one of the symptoms of an internal chemical burn . [ 2 ]
What experts say about the connection between the immune system and autoimmune disorders like MS, lupus, arthritis, and others.
Diagramatic representation of mucosal erosion (left), excoriation (center), and ulceration (right) Simplistic representation of the life cycle of mouth ulcers. An ulcer (/ ˈ ʌ l s ər /; from Latin ulcus, "ulcer, sore") [2] is a break in the skin or mucous membrane with loss of surface tissue and the disintegration and necrosis of epithelial tissue. [3]
The exact cause of the condition is unknown. [4] [5] There is most evidence to support vascular infarction and ischemic necrosis of salivary gland lobules as a mechanism for the condition. [6] Experimentally, local anaesthetic injections and tying of the arteries is reported to trigger the development of tissue changes similar to NS in lab rats ...
Three signs/symptoms must be present to diagnose this condition: [2] Severe gum pain. [3] Profuse gum bleeding that requires little or no provocation. [2] Interdental papillae are ulcerated with dead tissue. [3] The papillary necrosis of NG has been described as "punched out". [2] Other signs and symptoms may be present, but not always. [2 ...
Sometimes the involucrum is penetrated by channels (cloacae) through which pus drains to the skin or mouth. [3] OM of the jaws often occurs in the presence of one or more predisposing factors. These factors are related to compromised vascular perfusion locally, regionally or systemically, causes of immunocompromise and poor wound
