Pathophysiology is a quarterly peer-reviewed medical journal covering pathology and pathophysiology. It was established in 1994 and was originally published by Elsevier on behalf of the International Society for Pathophysiology. It was established by Toshikazu Yoshikawa, who was also its first editor-in-chief. [1]
Pathophysiology involves progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the substantia nigra, a midbrain region that provides dopamine to the basal ganglia, a system involved in voluntary motor control. The cause of this cell death is poorly understood but involves the aggregation of alpha-synuclein into Lewy bodies within neurons.
In 1873, one of the first papers in modern medicine on the subject tried to explain the pathophysiology of the disease while one in 1872, concluded that asthma can be cured by rubbing the chest with chloroform liniment. [299] [300] Medical treatment in 1880 included the use of intravenous doses of a drug called pilocarpine. [301]
HIV is commonly transmitted via unprotected sexual activity, blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child.Upon acquisition of the virus, the virus replicates inside and kills T helper cells, which are required for almost all adaptive immune responses.
The mechanisms of autism are divided into two main areas: pathophysiology of brain structures and processes, and neuropsychological linkages between brain structures and behaviors, with multiple pathophysiologies linked to various autism behaviors. [10] Evidence suggests gut–brain axis abnormalities may contribute to autism.
