A parapneumonic effusion (circled), due to a left lower lobe pneumonia. A parapneumonic effusion is a type of pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity ) that arises as a result of a pneumonia , lung abscess , or bronchiectasis . [ 1 ]
Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia characterized by inflammatory exudate within the intra-alveolar space resulting in consolidation that affects a large and continuous area of the lobe of a lung. [1] [2] It is one of three anatomic classifications of pneumonia (the other being bronchopneumonia and atypical pneumonia).
Atrophic vaginitis; Other names: Vulvovaginal atrophy, [1] vaginal atrophy, [1] genitourinary syndrome of menopause, [1] estrogen deficient vaginitis [2] Normal vaginal mucosa (left) versus vaginal atrophy (right) Specialty: Gynecology: Symptoms: Pain with sex, vaginal itchiness or dryness, an urge to urinate [1] Complications: Urinary tract ...
Disruption of the normal flora can cause a vaginal yeast infection. Vaginal yeast infection can affect women of all ages and is very common. The yeast Candida albicans is the most common cause of vaginitis. Specific forms of vaginal inflammation include the following types: Infectious vaginitis accounts for 90% of all cases in reproductive age ...
Vaginal douching may also increase the risk. [2] The diagnosis is typically based on the presenting signs and symptoms. [2] It is recommended that the disease be considered in all women of childbearing age who have lower abdominal pain. [2] A definitive diagnosis of PID is made by finding pus involving the fallopian tubes during surgery. [2]
Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.
A lobar pneumonia is an infection that only involves a single lobe, or section, of a lung. Lobar pneumonia is often due to Streptococcus pneumoniae (though Klebsiella pneumoniae is also possible.) [16] Multilobar pneumonia involves more than one lobe, and it often causes a more severe illness.
The Terminologia Histologica (TH) is the controlled vocabulary for use in cytology and histology. [1] [2] In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica was published online [3] by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT.
