Pathophysiology of Autoimmune diseases in MSK

In this episode, I discuss about the Citric Acid Cycle that is part of cellular respiration; and the synthesis of glucose in Gluconeogenesis when the body is in fasting state.

In this episode, I discuss about the importance of Enzymes in the body, how it catalyzes reactions and the factors that affect its activity

In this episode, discuss about the genetic code and various types of mutations, the steps of protein synthesis and post-translational modifications. 

In this episode, I discuss about the 4 levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures and correlate disease states to changes in protein structure.

In this full episode, I discuss about Bioenergetics the central role of ATP in cellular respiration. I explain anabolism and catabolism in endergonic and exergonic reactions. I also discuss about importance of water in fluid and electrolyte balance. 

In this episide, I discuss about Hyperlipedemia and its causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and pathophysiology. 

In this episode, I discuss about the various immune deficiency syndromes (primary and secondary) that may affect the respiratory system.

In this episode, I discuss about the immunological mechanisms underlying autoimmune disease and identify examples of rheumatological conditions with an autoimmune basis (SLE, RA, Sjogren syndrome and Vasulitis).

In this episode, I discuss about our immune system and cancer, as well as immunotherapies that target cancer cells

This episode discusses about our skin immune system and how Type IV hypersensitivity leads to skin disorders such as contact dermatitis, psoriasis and atopic eczema
