EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
White Blood Cells
AL Amyloidosis (Primary Amyloidosis)
AL amyloidosis occurs when misfolded light-chain proteins deposit in organs. Prompt treatment improves outcomes.
Sjögren’s Syndrome
Sjögren’s syndrome: An autoimmune disease causing dry eyes, mouth. Systemic effects is possible. Early diagnosis & management are key.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment Strategies
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment: TKIs are the main therapy, targeting the BCR::ABL1 gene. Chemotherapy & stem cell transplant are also used.
Neutrophilia (High Neutrophils) & Absolute Neutrophilia
Neutrophilia means high neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. It often signals infection, inflammation, or stress.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
CAR T-Cell Treatment
CAR T-cell therapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment using engineered T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells.
Macrophage
Macrophages are essential immune cells that engulf and digest foreign particles, playing a crucial role in inflammation and tissue repair. They are found throughout the body and are involved in various diseases, including infections and cancer.
Basophils
Basophils are white blood cells that play a crucial role in allergic reactions and inflammation. They release histamine and other mediators, contributing to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and hives. Elevated basophil counts can be associated with certain conditions, such as asthma and chronic myeloid leukemia.
Eosinophils
Eosinophils are white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are involved in fighting parasites, allergic reactions, and tissue repair. Elevated eosinophil counts can be a sign of various conditions, including parasitic infections and allergic diseases.
Monocytes
Monocytes are large white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. They are responsible for phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and inflammation. Elevated or decreased monocyte counts can be indicative of various diseases.
Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes are essential white blood cells that help protect the body from infections and diseases. They come in three main types: B cells, T cells, and NK cells, each with its unique role in the immune system.
