Apositive chandelier sign is indicative of which condition?

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

PID is a condition that includes the infection of the female reproductive organs (uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries). It is usually seen in younger women who are sexually active or who have recently experienced childbirth. The common causative agents of this bacterial infection are chlamydia and gonorrhea. Symptoms include pain in the lower abdomen, usually on both sides, fever or chills, abnormal vaginal discharge and the need to urinate more often.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
