  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Flatworms. Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate. This is a spongy tissue also known as a mesenchymal tissue, in which several types of cells are lodged in their extracellular matrices. The parenchymal cells include myocytes, and many types of ...

  3. Selective internal radiation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_internal...

    Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells; however, normal cells are also damaged in the process. Currently, therapeutic doses of radiation can be targeted to tumors with great accuracy using linear accelerators in radiation oncology; however, when irradiating using external beam radiotherapy, the beam will always need to travel through healthy tissue, and the normal liver tissue is very ...

    Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), also known as hemorrhagic stroke, is a sudden bleeding into the tissues of the brain (i.e. the parenchyma), into its ventricles, or into both. [3] [4] [1] An ICH is a type of bleeding within the skull and one kind of stroke (ischemic stroke being the other).

  5. Interstitial lung disease - Wikipedia

    Interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), [3] is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue) and space around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. [4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and ...

  6. Cirrhosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis

    Cirrhosis, also known as liver cirrhosis or hepatic cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease, is a condition of the liver in which the normal functioning tissue, or parenchyma, is replaced with scar tissue (fibrosis) and regenerative nodules as a result of chronic liver disease. [ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ] Damage to the liver leads to repair of liver tissue ...

  7. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    A CT scan can be used for detecting both acute and chronic changes in the lung parenchyma, the tissue of the lungs. [41] It is particularly relevant here because normal two-dimensional X-rays do not show such defects. A variety of techniques are used, depending on the suspected abnormality.

  8. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Intraparenchymal hemorrhage is one form of intracerebral bleeding in which there is bleeding within brain parenchyma. The other form is intraventricular hemorrhage). [1] Intraparenchymal hemorrhage accounts for approximately 8-13% of all strokes and results from a wide spectrum of disorders. It is more likely to result in death or major ...

  9. Glymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glymphatic_system

    The glymphatic system (or glymphatic clearance pathway, or paravascular system) is a system for waste clearance in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates.According to this model, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows into the paravascular space around cerebral arteries, combining with interstitial fluid (ISF) and parenchymal solutes, and exiting down venous paravascular spaces.
