Most humans are exposed to CMV in their lifetime, but typically only individuals with weakened immune systems become ill from CMV infection. Usually, CMV produces no symptoms. However, serious CMV infections can occur in people with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, organ transplants, bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, or medicines that suppress the immune system.
A CMV infection may affect different parts of the body. Infections include:
•CMV esophagitis (infection of the esophagus)
•CMV gastroenteritis (infection of the stomach or intestines)
•CMV retinitis (infection of the eye)
•CMV pneumonia (infection of the lung)
•Mononucleosis-like illness

A Meckel's diverticulum, a true congenital diverticulum, is a small bulge in the small intestine present at birth. It is a vestigial remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct (also called the vitelline duct or yolk stalk), and is the most frequent malformation of the gastrointestinal tract
Meckel's diverticulum is located in the distal ileum, usually within about 60-100 cm (2 feet) of the ileocecal valve
The most common presenting symptom is painless rectal bleeding such as melaena-like black offensive stools, followed by intestinal obstruction, volvulus and intussusception. Occasionally, Meckel's diverticulitis may present with all the features of acute appendicitis. Also, severe pain in the upper abdomen is experienced by the patient along with bloating of the stomach region. At times, the symptoms are so painful such that they may cause sleepless nights with extreme pain in the abdominal area.
Most of the time, bleeding occurs without warning and stops spontaneously. The symptoms can be extremely painful, often mistaken as just belly pain resulting from not eating or constipation.

Because dual infection is common, patients diagnosed with either Gonorrhea or Chlamydia
should receive empiric treatment for both infections, unless the other infection has been ruled out.
Treatment of Chlamydia:
Azithromycin
Doxycycline
Treatment of Gonorrhea:
Ceftriaxone
Cefixime

Chronic exposure to relatively low levels of carbon monoxide may cause persistent headaches, lightheadedness, depression, confusion, memory loss, nausea and vomiting.
It is unknown whether low-level chronic exposure may cause permanent neurological damage. Typically, upon removal from exposure to carbon monoxide, symptoms usually resolve themselves, unless there has been an episode of severe acute poisoning

Although the kidneys receive nearly a quarter of the cardiac output and extract relatively little oxygen, there is a marked discrepancy between cortical and medullary blood flow and oxygen delivery and consumption.
In the medulla, blood flow and oxygen supply are restricted by a tubulovascular anatomy specifically designed for urinary concentration.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. It is part of the system that restores the oxygen supply to tissues when blood circulation is inadequate.
