The pathophysiology of MR can be broken into three phases of the disease process: the acute phase, the chronic compensated phase, and the chronic decompensated phase. [citation needed] Mild mitral regurgitation. The colored cloud symbolizes the return blood flow. 1. left ventricle, 2. left atrium
The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 is a computer-based test that assesses whether medical students or graduates can apply important concepts of the foundational sciences fundamental to the practice of medicine. The exam consists of 280 multiple-choice questions, divided into seven 40-question blocks, and takes eight ...
The origins of pathophysiology as a distinct field date back to the late 18th century. The first known lectures on the subject were delivered by Professor August Friedrich Hecker at the University of Erfurt in 1790, and in 1791, he published the first textbook on pathophysiology, Grundriss der Physiologia pathologica [2], spanning 770 pages.

A 2017 CYP21A2 genotype analysis predicted that the total frequency of LOCAH in the general population of the United States is about 1:200 (95% confidence level, from 1:100 to 1:280). [ 2 ] [ 37 ] According to a 2017 meta-analysis, the prevalence of LOCAH among women with signs and symptoms of androgen excess is 4.2% globally, and between 1% ...
Environmental enteropathy (EE or tropical enteropathy or environmental enteric dysfunction or EED) is an acquired small intestinal disorder characterized by gut inflammation, reduced absorptive surface area in small intestine, and disruption of intestinal barrier function.
Hemoglobin M disease is a rare form of hemoglobinopathy, characterized by the presence of hemoglobin M (HbM) and elevated methemoglobin (metHb) level in blood. [1] HbM is an altered form of hemoglobin (Hb) due to point mutation occurring in globin-encoding genes, mostly involving tyrosine substitution for proximal (F8) or distal (E7) histidine residues. [2]
[17]: 149–165 It is the extensive involvement of ataxin 1 in many different functions that make understanding the biochemical pathophysiology of its mutant form difficult to identify and understand. [17]: 15 The mechanism by which expanded CAG repeat regions in ataxin 1 cause neuronal degeneration is unclear.
