Cross-section of liver affected by cirrhosis
Cirrhosis of the liver. Cross-section of a liver affected by alcohol induced cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a disease in which bands of fibrosis (internal scarring) break up the internal structure of the liver. The surviving cells multiply to form regeneration nodules separated by scar tissue. This gives a cirrhotic liver a typical granulated aspect. Heavy alcohol consumption is the most common cause of cirrhosis in developed countries. Hepatitis, the inflammation of the liver, may also lead to cirrhosis. The most common symptoms are mild jaundice, oedema, mental confusion and vomiting of blood

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a cross-section of a liver affected by cirrhosis, specifically alcohol-induced cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a debilitating disease characterized by the disruption of the liver's internal structure due to bands of fibrosis or internal scarring. As a result, surviving cells in the liver multiply and form regeneration nodules that are separated by scar tissue, giving the cirrhotic liver its distinctive granulated appearance. In developed countries, heavy alcohol consumption stands as the primary cause of this condition. However, hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver, can also lead to cirrhosis. The most common symptoms associated with this progressive disease include mild jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), oedema (swelling), mental confusion, and even vomiting blood. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of both the destructive power of excessive alcohol consumption on our vital organs and how diseases like cirrhosis can profoundly impact our health. It underscores the importance of responsible drinking habits and raises awareness about seeking medical care for conditions such as hepatitis to prevent further complications leading to irreversible damage.
