Concept explainers

Reproductive system infection

The biological process through which parents produce new children is called reproduction. A reproductive system is a group of internal and external organs that collaborate to allow males and females to reproduce. Many experts believe that the reproductive system is one of the most important systems in the body due to its crucial function in the survival of the species. Among the body's basic systems, the reproductive tract is the one that differs the most between sexes, and it is also the only one that does not operate until puberty.

7. Emergency endoscopic interventions increase the risk of acute pancreatitis. The initial phase of this disease is associated with the activation of trypsin within the cells of the pancreas. Then the inflammation begins. To protect cells from the action of active proteases, it is necessary to apply an ice pack or a belt with circulating cold water to the anterior abdominal wall. In the initial acute period of pancreatitis (as well as prophylactically before endoscopic procedures), "shock doses" of the synthetic polypeptide gabexate-mesylate and ulinastatin have recently been prescribed. These are new synthetic inhibitors of serine proteases that are not natural polypeptides. Explain why the patient's condition improves with this treatment in the initial phase of pancreatitis.
