Organ anatomy

CT and MR source images may be processed to generate 3D reconstructions, which can be obtained with both external and endoluminal points of view of the organ anatomy. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), the minimum intensity projection (MinlP), the shaded surface display (SSD), the perspective volume rendering (VR), and the multiplanar volume reconstruction (MPVR) algorithms pro-...

Despite recent developments, effectiveness of chemotherapy is still rather limited for most types of cancer, including tumors of the colon, lung, kidney, pancreas, and liver. Why some cancers respond better than others may be explained by factors relating to the anatomy and physiology of the cancer-ridden organ or... 

Figure 17.3 Anatomy of a redox enzyme representation of the X-ray crystallographic structure of Trametes versicolor laccase III (PDB file IKYA) [Bertrand et al., 2002]. The protein is represented in green lines and the Cu atoms are shown as gold spheres. Sugar moieties attached to the surface of the protein are shown in red. A molecule of 2,5-xyhdine that co-crystallized with the protein (shown in stick form in elemental colors) is thought to occupy the broad-specificity hydrophobic binding pocket where organic substrates ate oxidized by the enzyme. Electrons from substrate oxidation are passed to the mononuclear blue Cu center and then to the trinuclear Cu active site where O2 is reduced to H2O. (See color insert.)...

Local host defenses of both the upper and lower respiratory tract, along with the anatomy of the airways, are important in preventing infection. Upper respiratory defenses include the mucodliary apparatus of the nasopharynx, nasal hair, normal bacterial flora, IgA antibodies, and complement. Local host defenses of the lower respiratory tract include cough, mucodliary apparatus of the trachea and bronchi, antibodies (IgA, IgM, and IgG), complement, and alveolar macrophages. Mucus lines the cells of the respiratory tract, forming a protective barrier for the cells. This minimizes the ability of organisms to attach to the cells and initiate the infectious process. The squamous epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract are not ciliated, but those of the columnar epithelium of the lower tract are. The cilia beat in a uniform fashion upward, moving particles up and out of the lower respiratory tract.
