The Role of Insulin in the Human Body
Animation Description: This patient-friendly animation describes the main role of insulin in the human body.
When food is ingested, it travels along the digestive tract where it is broken down into its component nutrients in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream. One such nutrient is glucose, a simple sugar.
Glucose gets absorbed by intestines and then enters the bloodstream. It travels through the circulation to all body cells.
Once absorbed into the bloodstream, glucose circulates causing the blood sugar level to rise. An increased level of blood sugar sends a signal to the pancreatic beta cells, which respond by secreting the hormone insulin into the circulation.
Insulin is necessary for glucose to reach and be used by several important target tissues throughout the body. These include the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. Insulin is necessary to keep blood glucose levels stable in the body.
Circulating insulin binds to specific insulin receptors located on the cell membrane of tissue cells throughout the body.
Upon binding, intracellular signals send transport glucose channels to the cell surface. These channels allow glucose to enter the cell.
Glucose enters the cell through a process called facilitated diffusion.

Genetic Predispositions for Multiple Myeloma
Переглядів 3696 місяців тому
Some of the most important prognostic factors in multiple myeloma are determined by cytogenetics. These factors are typically assessed in two ways: by karyotype analysis and by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Karyotyping can be performed to reveal the ploidy status of myeloma cells and whether there have been any substantial chromosomal gains or losses. More than half of all myeloma ...
Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
Переглядів 2,1 тис.6 місяців тому
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia is a rare, slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma in which malignant lymphoplasmacytic B-cells multiply out of control, infiltrate the bone marrow and produce large amounts of IgM-derived M-protein. This in turn results in the symptoms of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, which include anemia, hyperviscosity, and cryoglobulinemia. When serum levels of the M-protein are...
Novel Anti-Cancer Agents for Multiple Myeloma

For many years, dexamethasone has been at the forefront of multiple myeloma therapy. Belonging to a class of drugs called corticosteroids, it exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-tumor effects. As a long-standing standard of care in the management of myeloma, many newer agents are typically used in combination with dexamethasone. Three of the most important novel agents for t...
Amyloidosis
Переглядів 1,3 тис.6 місяців тому
Amyloidosis is a condition involving the deposition of insoluble proteins within various tissues and organs of the body. When certain protein monomers unravel into characteristic beta-pleated ribbon structures, partially denatured monomers are formed. These aberrantly folded proteins can act as seeds for recruiting additional monomers and triggering oligomerization. The resulting prefibrilar ol...
Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance, Smoldering Multiple Myeloma and Multiple Myeloma
Переглядів 1,3 тис.6 місяців тому
Multiple myeloma is a disease characterized by the clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells. While the cause of myeloma is unknown, it is presumed that multiple mutations induce the transformation of plasma cells. Such mutations may permit the cell to expand into a small clonal population, resulting in a condition called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (or MGUS). If this cl...

This animation describes the Transperineal Prostate Biopsies (TPBx) procedures with particular focus on Local Anesthetic Transperineal Prostate Biopsy (LATP). LATP is a better and cost-effective alternative to Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Biopsy (TRUSBx) to detect prostate cancer. It is safer for patients due to the low risk of complications, particularly urosepsis, and it is well tolerated. R...

Neuraminidase Inhibitors: Mechanism of Action This animation provides an overview of the mechanism of action of neuraminidase inhibitors. Neuraminidase inhibitors disrupt the release of influenza virus from the host cell. These neuraminidase inhibitors mimic neuraminidase’s sialic acid binding site. When introduced, they bind neuraminidase on the budding viruses, blocking its enzymatic activity.

    I had a transperineal prostrate biopsy last month after a PSA = 7.9 and a PIRADS 3 MRI. It wasn't the most comfortable afternoon I'd spent, and the application of the local anesthetic was the most uncomfortable, but lasted only a second or two. Everything was over fairly quickly (I'm not sure how long, it was difficult to judge). I was soon on the bus home, and I was riding a bike two days later. And, BTW, everything was benign.

    The Covid vaccine works! At least, a little. You can still get Covid with the vaccine, but maybe a little less often. You can still get sick with Covid, but maybe a little less with the vaccine. You can still carry and transmit Covid, but maybe not so often with the vaccine. It really works.. a little.

    scientists has never before achieved unanimous consensus in any subject before until the jab. it already tells you, among all the control of our speech, proganda and straight out lies about the long term jab safety in our media etc. that the scientists in the medical field are not to be trusted anymore. there is something very sinister going on behind the curtains. nothing else would explain this so called consensus amongst scientists and politicians. there's zero studies which show the jab is even overall safer than the virus, no studies that show the pros and cons of jabbing the whole race, and no studies on the long term safety, obviously. jabbing the entire planet means that the whole human race will also be exposed to any possible side effects it has in long term, and the scientists and politicians know this. but somehow they all united pretend as if they knew nothing major is going to occur, even when modifying the jab against new variants without new trials. If i cannot trust the s1st4m, i cannot trust a chemical they are offering to me. especially when it's done by force and branewash. ps. i don't need a medical degree to have valid concerns about the jab, and if those who have the degree fail to show me the study which answers to my concerns, then they were very much on point.

    Yes that plateau thing is REAL. The problem is the limitation of walking as exercise. Maxed out at 4.25-4.5 MPH means burning fat slower as you shed weight during the "Honeymoon" period. The problem is jogging isn't practical for many as it is a threat to knees, ankles, hips for some of us. Weight training needs to be mixed in to take weight loss further.
