🤔 What do we mean by ANA??
🔹As the name suggests, they are antibodies to various nuclear components
🔹These Antigens(Ag) can be related to
1. DNA🧬: DNA, histones, nucleosomes
2. RNA: Smith, RNP, Ro, La
3. Others: ribosomal P, Ku etc

In the early 1940s, folic acid was isolated and found to cure some patients with megaloblastic anemia, not responding to vitamin B 12.
Also, patients with acute leukemia were treated with folic acid or folate conjugates (polyglutamated forms of folic acid)
👉proved ineffective:(

The subsequent demonstration by Heinle and Welch that a diet-induced deficiency of folic acid caused a decrease in the leukemia cell count, stimulated efforts, primarily by the Lederle group, to synthesize analogs of folic acid.

Sensory nerves: travel from skin to the nerve cell body in the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) then⬆️dorsal column of spine to the brain
DRG- ‼️cell body of sensory nerves‼️
Motor nerves: travel from brain and exit ventral (anterior) spinal cord ➡️muscle

Okay, so dorsal root ganglion only contains sensory nerves. This is an important part of the story.

Inflammatory arthritis just refers to:
🌟immune cell (typically innate) invading the joint space
🌟 typically neutrophils are the 1st to the scene of the crime
🌟immune cell (typically innate) invading the joint space
🌟 typically neutrophils are the 1st to the scene of the crime
Normal synovium has very few cells
if you tap a joint, and there is greater than 2,000 WBC, this is considered "inflammatory"
lots of things can do this:
🌟trauma-foreign body into a joint
🌟infection-septic joint
🌟crystals-gout or pseudogout
🌟autoimmune!

#SíndromePulmónRiñón: Ayudas diagnósticas
Radiología: infiltrados con patrón alveolar de distribución simétrica, predominio central y en bases pulmonares; sin embargo, hay casos en los que los hallazgos pueden ser focales – unilaterales y discernir con otras entidades puede ser difícil.
Gasimetría arterial: hipoxemia (PaO2 menor de 60mmHg); el mecanismo de esta condición es secundaria a “shunt” y alteración de la difusión, lo que explica la pobre respuesta al oxígeno a alto flujo en la mayoría de los casos.

I have a condition called ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is an autoimmune inflammatory arthritis that mainly affects the spine, but can spread to other joints as well. In other words, my body thinks that my joints are the enemy…
...so my immune system attacks them, causing inflammation and pain. This sounds bad, and it is, but what’s worse is over time this inflammation can erode your joints.
