Black pox is a symptom of smallpox that is caused by bleeding under the skin which makes the skin look char red or black. It was more common in teenagers. This symptom usually indicates that a patient with smallpox is going to death die . A Physician doctor who encountered black pox stated that Doctors separate black pox into two forms&mdash flat smallpox and Hemorrhage hemorrhagic smallpox. In a case of flat smallpox, the skin remains smooth and doesn t pustulate , but it darkens until it looks charred, and it can slip or fall off the body in sheets, sometimes all of it, causing instant death, though that is very rare. In hemorrhagic smallpox, black, clot unclotted blood oozes or runs from the mouth and other body orifice s. Black pox is close to one hundred percent wiktionary fatal fatal . If any sign of it appears in the body, the victim will almost certainly die. In the hemorrhagic cases, the virus destroys the linings of the throat , the stomach , the intestines , the rectum , and the vagina , and these mucous membrane membrane s disintegrate. Fatal smallpox can destroy the body s entire skin &mdash both the exterior skin and the interior skin that lines the passages of the body. ref Richard Preston, http cryptome.org smallpox wmd.htm The Demon in the Freezer , The New Yorker, July 12, 1999, pp. 44 61. ref See also Smallpox Thrombocytopenia Orthopoxvirus References reflist Category Symptoms and signs Skin and subcutaneous tissue Category Smallpox disease stub ... more details

A single megakaryocyte can give rise to thousands of thrombocytes. The term thrombocytopoiesis is sometimes used to emphasize the cellular nature. Thrombopoietin stimulates megakaryopoiesis, process of megakaryocyte maturation and differentiation. Thrombopoietin , upon release, binds to its receptor, c mpl , found on megakaryocyte progenitor cells. Following binding, intracellular signalling leads to megakaryocyte growth , maturation , membrane stability, platelet granule formation and the demarcation of the cytoplasm into regions destined to fragment into mature platelets . These proplatelet processes further fragment into platelet s. This last step of proplatelet process and platelet formation, in vitro , has been shown to be independent of thrombopoietin .

Tropical splenomegaly syndrome , also known as hyperreactive malarial splenomegaly occurs due immunological over stimulation due to repeated attacks of malaria l infection over long time. It is seen commonly in malaria endemic areas like Africa and Indian subcontinent. Tropical Splenomegaly Syndrome is characterized by massive splenomegaly , hepatomegaly , marked elevations in levels of serum IgM and malaria antibody. The spleen is massively enlarged. It shows dilated sinusoids lined with reticulum cells showing marked erythrophagocytosis and lymphocytic infiltration of the pulp. Malarial parasites are not found in the peripheral blood. Condition may show features of hypersplenism in severe form like anemia and thrombocytopenia . The treatment of tropical splenomegaly syndrome involves administration of antimalarial prophylaxis for prolonged periods of time. This removes the antigenic stimulus provided by repeated malarial infection and allows the immune system to return to normal. References 1 Greenwood B, Fakunle Y. The tropical splenomegaly syndrome.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Bipyridines are a family of chemical compound s with the formula C sub 5 sub H sub 4 sub N sub 2 sub , which are formed by the coupling of two pyridine rings. Six isomer s of bipyridine exist, but two isomers are prominent 2,2 bipyridine is a popular ligand in coordination chemistry and 4,4 bipyridine is a precursor to the herbicide paraquat . The bipyridines are colourless solids, which are soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. The 3,4 Bipyridine derivatives inamrinone and milrinone are used occasionally for short term treatment of congestive heart failure. They inhibit phosphodiesterase and thus increasing Cyclic adenosine monophosphate cAMP , exerting positive inotropy and causing vasodilation. Inamrinone causes thrombocytopenia . Milrinone decreases survival in heart failure. 2,2 bipyridine Image 2,2 Bipyridine.svg thumb right Structure of 2,2 bipyridine Main 2,2 bipyridine 2,2 bipyridine is a Chelation chelating ligand that forms complexes with most transition metal ions. Many of these complexes have distinctive optical properties and some are of interest for analysis. 2,2 Bipyridine is used in the manufacture of Diquat . 4,4 bipyridine Main 4,4 bipyridine Image 4,4 Bipyridine.svg thumb right Structure of 4,4 bipyridine 4,4 Bipyridine 4,4 bipy is mainly used as a precursor to the N,N dimethyl 4,4 bipyridinium dication commonly known as paraquat . This species is redox active, and its toxicity arises from its ability to interrupt biological electron transfer processes. Because of its structure, 4,4 bipyridine can bridge between metal centres to give coordination polymers .
