Welcome to Ed's Pathology Notes, placed here originally for the convenience of medical students at my school. You need to check the accuracy of any information, from any source, against other credible sources. I cannot diagnose or treat over the web, I cannot comment on the health care you have already received, and these notes cannot substitute for your own doctor's care. I am good at helping people find resources and answers. If you need me, send me an E-mail at scalpel_blade@yahoo.com Your confidentiality is completely respected. No texting or chat messages, please. Ordinary e-mails are welcome.

I am active in HealthTap, which provides free medical guidance from your cell phone. There is also a fee site at www.afraidtoask.com.


If you have a Second Life account, please visit my teammates and me at the Medical Examiner's office.

Freely have you received, give freely With one of four large boxes of "Pathguy" replies.

I'm still doing my best to answer everybody. Sometimes I get backlogged, sometimes my E-mail crashes, and sometimes my literature search software crashes. If you've not heard from me in a week, post me again. I send my most challenging questions to the medical student pathology interest group, minus the name, but with your E-mail where you can receive a reply.

Numbers in {curly braces} are from the magnificent Slice of Life videodisk. No medical student should be without access to this wonderful resource.

I am presently adding clickable links to images in these notes. Let me know about good online sources in addition to these:

Freely have you received, freely give. -- Matthew 10:8. My site receives an enormous amount of traffic, and I'm still handling dozens of requests for information weekly, all as a public service.

Pathology's modern founder, Rudolf Virchow M.D., left a legacy of realism and social conscience for the discipline. I am a mainstream Christian, a man of science, and a proponent of common sense and common kindness. I am an outspoken enemy of all the make-believe and bunk that interfere with peoples' health, reasonable freedom, and happiness. I talk and write straight, and without apology.

Throughout these notes, I am speaking only for myself, and not for any employer, organization, or associate.

Special thanks to my friend and colleague, Charles Wheeler M.D., pathologist and former Kansas City mayor. Thanks also to the real Patch Adams M.D., who wrote me encouragement when we were both beginning our unusual medical careers.

If you're a private individual who's enjoyed this site, and want to say, "Thank you, Ed!", then what I'd like best is a contribution to the Episcopalian home for abandoned, neglected, and abused kids in Nevada:

I've spent time there and they are good. Write "Thanks Ed" on your check.

Especially if you're looking for information on a disease with a name that you know, here are a couple of great places for you to go right now and use Medline, which will allow you to find every relevant current scientific publication. You owe it to yourself to learn to use this invaluable internet resource. Not only will you find some information immediately, but you'll have references to journal articles that you can obtain by interlibrary loan, plus the names of the world's foremost experts and their institutions.

Alternative (complementary) medicine has made real progress since my generally-unfavorable 1983 review. If you are interested in complementary medicine, then I would urge you to visit my new Alternative Medicine page. If you are looking for something on complementary medicine, please go first to the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. And for your enjoyment... here are some of my old pathology exams for medical school undergraduates.

I cannot examine every claim that my correspondents share with me. Sometimes the independent thinkers prove to be correct, and paradigms shift as a result. You also know that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. When a discovery proves to square with the observable world, scientists make reputations by confirming it, and corporations are soon making profits from it. When a decades-old claim by a "persecuted genius" finds no acceptance from mainstream science, it probably failed some basic experimental tests designed to eliminate self-deception. If you ask me about something like this, I will simply invite you to do some tests yourself, perhaps as a high-school science project. Who knows? Perhaps it'll be you who makes the next great discovery!

Our world is full of people who have found peace, fulfillment, and friendship by suspending their own reasoning and simply accepting a single authority that seems wise and good. I've learned that they leave the movements when, and only when, they discover they have been maliciously deceived. In the meantime, nothing that I can say or do will convince such people that I am a decent human being. I no longer answer my crank mail.

This site is my hobby, and I do not accept donations, though I appreciate those who have offered to help.

During the eighteen years my site has been online, it's proved to be one of the most popular of all internet sites for undergraduate physician and allied-health education. It is so well-known that I'm not worried about borrowers. I never refuse requests from colleagues for permission to adapt or duplicate it for their own courses... and many do. So, fellow-teachers, help yourselves. Don't sell it for a profit, don't use it for a bad purpose, and at some time in your course, mention me as author and William Carey as my institution. Drop me a note about your successes. And special thanks to everyone who's helped and encouraged me, and especially the people at William Carey for making it still possible, and my teaching assistants over the years.

Whatever you're looking for on the web, I hope you find it, here or elsewhere. Health and friendship!

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This chapter is absolutely pivotal to your learning medicine. The handout, which is relatively short, is really all mastery material. You need to learn the content at the recall level.

Recognize what things that happen to a person result in inflammation, and distinguish its acute and chronic phases.

Give a full account of the stereotyped processes of acute inflammation. Explain the pathophysiology underlying the classic "rubor, calor, dolor, and tumor", and a complete account of vascular caliber and permeability changes during acute inflammation.

Give a complete account of white cell behavior in acute and chronic inflammation. Tell what white cells are (and aren't) recruited in various kinds of inflammation, and in response to which invaders. Tell the means by which white cells are recruited, the weaponry they carry, and how they find and destroy invaders.

Explain when and how pus forms, and account for its familiar properties and variable appearances. Mention factors that interfere with leukocyte function.

Describe the acute phase reaction and the physiology of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Give a short account of the "systemic inflammatory response" and mention why it's deadly.

Describe the role of mononuclear phagocytes in inflammation. Tell how and when granulomas form, and why they are important.

Give a good basic account of how tissues regenerate, injuries heal, and scars form. Given the name of a cell, tell whether it is labile, stable, or permanent, and why it matters. Explain how fibrosis forms in chronic inflammation. Describe how a fibrin meshwork is transformed into a fibrous scar. Distinguish healing by primary and secondary intention, and cite the factors that promote and oppose good wound healing.

Describe the activities of the following mediators of inflammation and/or healing, and when an activity is mentioned, remember which molecule or molecules mediates the effect:

Use each the following terms properly, and recall the term, given the definition:

Describe how problems with inflammation cause or exacerbate the following illnesses:

Be sure you can recognize each of the following under the microscope:

Use and apply the common suffixes for surgical operations properly.

INTRODUCTION

    WAR IS THE METAPHOR FOR INFLAMMATION. Both are unpleasant facts of life. Both are more-or-less stereotyped responses to outside threats. There are specialized troops (white cells), including high-risk-commandos (neutrophils), long-term siege armies (granulomas), and many others. There are supply routes (vessels), communications and intelligence (mediators), and a huge array of lethal weapons (inflammatory enzymes). In war as in inflammation, there will be damage to both the enemy and to friendly forces, and there will very likely be severe damage to the battlefield itself. Despite idealistic rhetoric about "the laws of war", when the fighting starts, there is really only one law for the soldiers: "Kill your enemy." Like it or not, if you want peace, you must be prepared to fight under certain conditions. Like it or not, if you want to be healthy, your body must be able to mount an inflammatory response. Force will always rule our world. Our best hope is that this will be the force of good laws. And the best for which we can hope from the inflammatory response is that, for most of our lives, it will do us more good than harm.

REPAIR BY CONNECTIVE TISSUE

      They jest at [joke about] scars that never felt a wound.

            -- Shakespeare's Romeo

      And the world will be better for this, that one man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars.

            -- Cervantes's Don Quixote ("Man of La Mancha")

      The history of a soldier's wound beguiles the pain of it.
