- The V600E mutation (described above) in the BRAF gene has also been found to cause giant congenital melanocytic nevus. This condition is characterized by a large, noncancerous patch of abnormally dark skin that is present from birth and an increased risk of a type of skin cell cancer called melanoma.oonan syndrome-caused by mutations in the BRAF gene. At least six BRAF gene mutations have been found to cause Noonan syndrome. These mutations change single amino acids in the BRAF protein. The resulting protein is continuously active, rather than switching on and off in response to cell signals.

- Causes of Secondary Amenorrhea. Estrogen levels rise and cause the lining of the uterus (womb) to grow and thicken during a normal menstrual cycle. Estrogen is a hormone that is responsible for the development of sex characteristics and the reproductive process in women. Your body releases an egg halfway through the menstrual cycle. If the egg is not fertilized and does not attach to the uterine wall, your hormone levels drop.

Human Physiology/Print Version Pinguecula has the same risk factors as pterygium, especially frequent exposure to the sun without sunglasses. Because pinguecula may prevent tears from coating the surface of your eye well, it can cause dryness and a feeling like something’s stuck in your eye.The pinguecula can also become red.n enlarging pterygium, however, may cause redness and inflammation. A pterygium can progressively grow onto the cornea (the clear, outer layer of the eye). This can distort the shape of the cornea, causing a condition called astigmatism. The result can be blurred vision.

Hormone-like substances (prostaglandins) involved in pain and inflammation trigger the uterine muscle contractions. Higher levels of prostaglandins are associated with more-severe menstrual cramps.enstrual cramps may also be caused by: 1  Endometriosis. 2  In this painful condition, the tissue that lines your uterus becomes implanted outside your uterus, most commonly on your fallopian tubes, ovaries or the tissue lining your pelvis. 3  Uterine fibroids.

Amenorrhea Amenorrhoea is a symptom with many potential causes. Primary amenorrhoea (menstruation cycles never starting) may be caused by developmental problems such as the congenital absence of the uterus, failure of the ovary to receive or maintain egg cells.rimary amenorrhoea can be diagnosed in women by age 14 if no secondary sex characteristics, such as enlarged breasts and body hair, are present. In the absence of secondary sex characteristics, the most common cause of amenorrhoea is low levels of FSH and LH caused by a delay in puberty.

- The term melena is used to describe a black, tarry appearing feces, which occurs due to the presence of digested blood in the intestines, or to internal bleeding that has passed into the intestine. Melena is typically seen due to bleeding in the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract. It has also been seen in dogs after they have ingested a sufficient amount of blood from the oral cavity or respiratory tract. It is not a disease in itself but a symptom of some other underlying disease.

- The exact cause of preeclampsia and eclampsia is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a disorder of the lining of blood vessels. Abnormalities of the placenta have also been described. It likely arises due to a combination of factors, including both genetic and environmental influences. A number of genes have been studied as being potentially involved in preeclampsia, and there is an increased risk for women with affected family members.

Overview of GI Bleeding Melena is black, tarry stool and typically indicates upper GI bleeding, but bleeding from a source in the small bowel or right colon may also be the cause. About 100 to 200 mL of blood in the upper GI tract is required to cause melena, which may persist for several days after bleeding has ceased. Black stool that does not contain occult blood may result from ingestion of iron, bismuth, or various foods and should not be mistaken for melena.

Camellia Sasanqua Diseases While other species of camellia are susceptible to the root rot caused by the fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi, sasanquas are immune. Unfortunately, another fungus species, Cylindrocladium crotalariae, does cause root rot on sasanqua plants, especially when the plants are young or cuttings are made for propagation.hile other species of camellia are susceptible to the root rot caused by the fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi, sasanquas are immune.

Amoebiasis Amoebic colitis. The E. histolytica parasite can cause inflammation of the lining of your gut (intestines). This condition is known as amoebic colitis. 'Colitis' is a general term used for inflammation of the lining of the large intestine (the colon). 'Amoebic' refers to the fact that the colitis is caused by the amoeba E. histolytica. The disease is often mild and can just lead to tummy (abdominal) pain and diarrhoea. However, more severe inflammation with ulceration of the intestinal lining can occur in some people and so-called 'amoebic dysentery' can develop.
