ACOLS Module 6 Flashcards
Acute inflammation is a local response of the tissues that have been damaged in a certain region of the body.
True
Radiation burn, sun burn and incisions are all examples of trauma.
True
Edema that results from the inflammatory process is poor in protein.
False
The negative effects of swelling in trauma are due to the increased diffusion distance inside cells.
False. It’s the diffusion distance in between cells.
MLD is not beneficial for traumatic edema since there is no protein accumulation.
False
There are no blood vessels in the joint cartilage; cartilage is living tissue and receives nutrients from the synovial fluid.
True
Lymphostatic Encephalopathy is a disorder of the lymph drainage from the intra- and extra-dural areas that may result in head and neck lymphedema (HNL).
True
50% of the intra-dural drains along the fibers of the olfactory nerve, through the cribiform plate and to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity.
True
Compression for facial swelling is opposite from compression of the extremities because gravity assists drainage during the day (compression is more important at night time).
True
MLD techniques cannot be used for the treatment of wounds.
False
Acute traumatic edema results from a mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system.
False
A chronic inflammation can decrease the Transport Capacity (TC) of the lymphatic system over a prolonged period of time and result in lymphangitis or lymphadenitis.
True
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease following an infection with streptococci bacteria.
True
The extra-dural drainage happens through the sutures of the skull to the lymph vessels of the scalp.
True

A. Rheumatoid Arthritis
B. Cyclic Idiopathic Edema
C. Lymphedema
D. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy

A. Bio electrical impedance
B. Perimeters

D. Tape measurement
Answer: B
The negative effects of swelling in trauma include:
A. Decreased supply of oxygen and nutrients to the traumatized area
B Decreased transport of basic substances needed for tissue healing
C. Irritation of nociceptors (pain receptors
D. All of the above
Answer: D
A lymphadenitis is:
A. An inflammation of lymph vessels
B. An inflammation of lymph nodes
C. An inflammation of blood vessels
D. An inflammation of the skin
Answer: B
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD):
A. Is an abnormal response of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
B. Causes localized inflammation accompanied by morphological changes in soft tissue, nerves, bones, joints and disturbances in the local blood supply.
C. Is more seen in upper extremities
D. All of the above
Answer: D
