Pneumocystitis Carinii Pneumonia Life Cycle Schematic Diagram

This picture shows a schematic view of the life cycle of P.carinii, a specific pathogen for human which caused Pneumocystis pneumonia as a form of pneumonia. Two developmental stages are the mature cyst and the trophozoite. It is not yet clear which is the main infective form responsible for the primary infection. However, it is well established that airbone transmission is the most important one. Full description can be viewed here: http…

A Physiopathological Mechanism for Postmenopausal Bone Loss in Osteoporotic Women

An imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption is thought to underlie the pathogenesis of reduced bone mass (bone loss) in osteoporosis. A study which evaluated a possibilities increase in spontaneous osteoclast formation in postmenopausal osteoporotic women is described below.   The schematic diagram demonstrates an increase in the production of RANKL and TNF-A by PBMC of osteoporotic women with respect to controls. This study al…
