Record 6 2010-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Endocrine System and Metabolism
CONT

Amyloidosis is not one clinical entity but a group of diverse structurally driven protein deposition diseases. They are similar in that protein deposition occurs extracellularly and these deposits stain eosinophilic using standard tissue histologic stains, bind Congo red dye, and emit an apple-green birefringence using polarized light microscopy; exhibit metachromasia with crystal violet; and have an array of 75-to 100-Å nonbranching fibrils by electron microscopy and a twisted b-pleated sheet antiparallel configuration by x-ray crystallography. They differ, however, in the biochemical nature of the proteinaceous deposits, the "etiology" of the associated diseases(neoplastic, inflammatory, degenerative, hereditary), the tropism of protein deposition, and the spectrum of disease manifestations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes endocrinien et métabolique
DEF

Affection caractérisée par le dépôt, dans de nombreux organes, d'un matériel d'allure protéique, la substance amyloïde définie par certaines affinités tinctoriales et une ultrastructure fibrillaire et tendant à envahir et détruire certains organes, notamment les reins.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sistemas endocrino y metabólico
DEF

Enfermedad caracterizada por la aparición de formaciones de pequeños fragmentos de una proteína insoluble en distintas partes del cuerpo, tales como lengua, corazón, tracto gastrointestinal, nervios, músculos y especialmente en los dedos de la mano.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

[Hepatic] disease characterized by the extracellular deposition of amyloid, a proteinaceous fibril substance, in the tissue.

CONT

Deposition of amyloid within an organ distorts normal tissue architecture and possibly function. In horses, the liver and spleen are the most common organs affected by systemic amyloidosis.

French

  • Maladies des animaux

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Behaviour
DEF

OBS

Often a problem of animal welfare and of financial loss in animals kept in close confinement. Due partly to boredom but also to overcrowding, incorrect sex ratios and lack of amenities. May result in deaths, septic wounds and subsequent amyloidosis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
DEF

Interactions agressives entre individus, caractérisées par des positions variées, des mouvements et des vocalisations servant davantage à repousser ou à intimider qu'à provoquer un combat. Ces interactions peuvent aussi servir à établir une hiérarchie de dominance.
