Pathology

Pathology

  • Pathogenesis
    The pathogenesis of a disease is the biological mechanism (or mechanisms) that leads to the diseased state.
  • Autopsy
    An autopsy—also known as a post-mortem examination, necropsy, or autopsia cadaverum —is a highly specialized surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present.
  • Coroner
    A coroner is a person whose standard role is to confirm and certify the death of an individual within a jurisdiction.
  • Electron microscope
    An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.
  • Clinical chemistry
    Clinical chemistry (also known as chemical pathology, clinical biochemistry or medical biochemistry) is the area of clinical pathology that is generally concerned with analysis of bodily fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (not to be confused with medicinal chemistry).
  • Plant pathology
    Plant pathology (also phytopathology) is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors).
  • Atrophy
    Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body.
  • Galactorrhea
    Galactorrhea (also spelled galactorrhoea) (galacto- + -rrhea) or lactorrhea (lacto- + -rrhea) is the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing.
  • Tauopathy
    Not to be confused with Tautopathy, which is a controversial alternative medicine practice similar to Homeopathy.
  • History of emerging infectious diseases
    The discovery of disease-causing pathogens is an important activity in the field of medical science, as many viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, helminthes and prions are identified as a confirmed or potential pathogen.
  • Lymphatic disease
    Lymphatic disease is a class of disorders which directly affect the components of the lymphatic system.
  • Polymelia
    Polymelia (from Greek πολυ- = "many" plus μέλος (plural μέλεα) = "limb") is a birth defect involving limbs (a type of dysmelia), in which the affected individual has more than the usual number of limbs.
  • Atypical small acinar proliferation
    In urologic pathology, atypical small acinar proliferation, abbreviated ASAP, is a collection of small prostatic glands, on prostate biopsy, whose significance is uncertain and cannot be determined to be benign or malignant.
  • Fat necrosis
    Fat necrosis is a form of necrosis characterized by the action upon fat by digestive enzymes.
  • Neuropathology
    Neuropathology is the study of disease of nervous system tissue, usually in the form of either small surgical biopsies or whole-body autopsies.
  • Pannus
    Pannus is an abnormal layer of fibrovascular tissue or granulation tissue.
  • Pleomorphism (cytology)
    Pleomorphism is a term used in histology and cytopathology to describe variability in the size, shape and staining of cells and/or their nuclei.
  • Steatosis
    Steatosis (also called fatty change, fatty degeneration, or adipose degeneration) is the process describing the abnormal retention of lipids within a cell.
  • Invasive urothelial carcinoma
    Invasive urothelial carcinoma is a type of Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC, also urothelial cell carcinoma or UCC) and is a type of cancer that develops in the urinary system: the kidney, urinary bladder, and accessory organs.
  • Medical microbiology
    Medical microbiology is a branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.
  • Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome
    Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), also known as sudden adult death syndrome or sudden unexpected death syndrome (SUDS), is sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, many during sleep.
