AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) Calculator

The AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) predicts fibrosis and cirrhosis in hepatitis C patients. It offers a non-invasive way to predict which patients have cirrhosis without imaging or biopsy.

happy disability pride month to those with conditions no one talks about, online or in general:

multiple sclerosis (me lol)

marfans

cerebral palsy

bells palsy

hidradenitis suppurativa

cauda equina syndrome

mixed connective tissue disorder

hyperadrenergic pots

non hypermobile eds types

stickler syndrome

mitochondrial disease

cystic fibrosis

sickle cell disease

myasthenia gravis

post-cholecystectomy syndrome

SWAN (syndromes without a name)

...just to name a few. i see you and you deserve awareness and understanding.

this list is non exhaustive, rb with other conditions you want to see represented!!

‘Plasticosis’: Characterising macro- and microplastic-associated fibrosis in seabird tissues

Highlights

• Extensive scar tissue formation was associated with plastic exposure in seabirds.

• Plastic significantly altered collagen prevalence within stomach tissue structures.

• Pathology was caused directly by plastic, rather than natural items, such as pumice.

• First record of plastic-related fibrosis in seabird stomach tissues.

• Evidence for a new plastic-induced fibrotic disease, ‘Plasticosis’.

Model Scar

Just like a scar might form over an injury on your skin, damage to your organs can result in rigid tissue which restricts movement and function. When this happens in the lungs, such as in the major post-COVID complication lung fibrosis, stiffened tissue can stop the lungs working and be fatal. Current methods for investigating this in the lab are limited, so researchers have made a mini-lung model equipped with real-time monitoring of cell mechanics under life-like conditions. An ultra-thin membrane supports the growth of cells (such as the false-coloured purple air sac lining cell pictured on a bed of green matrix proteins). The membrane is compatible with the body’s cells, and is permeable and flexible to mimic lung tissue. The researchers measured cell stiffness as a marker of disease progression or improvement, and can test the impact of any treatments, which will help the development of any new therapies.

What causes Fatty Liver Disease?

What causes Fatty Liver Disease?

The liver is the largest internal part of your body and performs more than 500 functions. It regulates chemical levels in your body. Your liver helps in the digestive process, removes toxins, and stores glycogen, vitamins, and minerals. All blood vessels from the stomach and intestines pass through the liver. The liver processes the blood from the stomach and intestines – breaks down, balances,…

New research led by Queen's University Belfast has made a breakthrough in the field of microbiology, which could lead to the development of new treatments for people with compromised immune systems, such as those with cystic fibrosis. To conduct their study the researchers looked at the bacterium Achromobacter, which can cause chronic lung infection and tissue damage in the airways. The study reveals how this bacterium overcomes the body's immune defenses to multiply and continue to grow. The findings have been published in Cell Reports.
