Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
The main muscles of inspiration:
- Diaphragm (most important)
- Scalenes
- External intercostals,
- Sternomastoids.
The muscles of expiration:
- Internal intercostals
- Muscles of the abdominal wall
- Rectus abdominus
- Internal and external obliques
- Transversus abdominus
Pathogenesis
- The diaphragm is the musculo-fibrous membrane. It has two parts: non-contractile central fibrous and peripheral muscular components. [1]
- Peripheral muscular section has two fibers:
- Type 1: slow and fatigue resistant fibers: play roles in low intensity, continual cycle of breathing
- Type 2: fast fibers: play roles in rapid and intense situations such as:
- Talking
- Singing,
- Sneezing,
- Defecation
- Acute hyperventilation
The diaphragm create negative intrathoracic pressure and facilitates movement of air into the lungs. It is innervated by cervical nerve roots ( C3-C5 ) via the phrenic nerves.
Diaphragmatic paralyses can be unilateral or bilateral according to involvemnet of one or two leaflets of diaphragm.
Diaphragmatic paralysis is an uncommon cause of dyspnea.
It is understood that diaphragmatic paralysis is the result of paralysis of ( C3-C5 ).
In the case of unilateral diaphragm paralysis, it is compensated by other hemidiaphragm or accessory muscles of respiration.
In bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, accessory muscles do all of the work of breathing and finally it may lead to ventilatory failure.
Genetics
Early diaphragmatic paralysis may be one of the manifestations od genetic neuromuscular disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy (Werdnig-Hoffmann disease) and acid maltase deficiency.[2]
- [Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern.
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of [disease name] include [gene1], [gene2], and [gene3].
- The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations.
Associated Conditions
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
