CHAPTER 34: Flashcards
encompass autoimmune, degenerative, inflammatory, and systemic conditions that affect the joint, muscle, and soft tissue of the body
rheumatic disease
inflammation of a joint
arthritis
the most commonly manifested features of arthritis
limitation of mobility
marked by a period of remission and exacerbation
limitation of mobility
two classification for rheumatic diseases
monoarticular/polyarticular
inflammatory
three distinct characteristic rheumatoid disease:
inflammatory
autoimmune
degenerative
a ‘complex physiologic process mediated by the immune system’ that occurs om response to harmful stimuli
inflammatory
an abnormal, extra layer of tissue in your joints that can cause pain, swelling, and damage to your bones, cartilage, and other tissue.
pannus
a complex process resulting in pannus
inflammatory
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein the OWN BODY PRODUCE OWN ANTIBODIES
autoimmunity
a HALLMARK of inflammatory rheumatic disease
autoimmunity
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein the body recognize of own tissue as foreign antigen
autoimmunity
a rheumatic disease that may lead to destruction of tissue via inflammatory process
autoimmunity
the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
articular cartilage
it gives cushions to the bones
articular cartilage
synovial membrane
thin barriers that line the inside of some of your joints
synovial membrane
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein it is caused by OLD AGE
degenerative
a characteristic of rheumatic disease wherein it is SECONDARY PROCESS TO INFLAMMATION
degenerative
the formation of new blood vessels
angiogenesis
this wbc can cause tissue destruction
neutrophils
proliferation of inflamed tissue
pannus invasion
bone destruction
osteoclast
a type of imaging test used to look at a joint, such as the shoulder, knee, or hip.
arthrography
what are the COMMON TEST FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
increase ESR and CRP
medications for rheumatoid arthritis
celecoxib
aspirin
celecoxib is what type of NSAIDS
cox-2 inhibitors
DMARDS means
disease modifying antirheumatic drugs
the common symptom in the rheumatic disease is
PAIN
‘cell signaling proteins’ vital to regulation of hematopoiesis
cytokines
rheumatoid arthritis occurs at the age of
65
an inflammatory, autoimmune disorder that AFFECTS NEARLY EVERY ORGAN OF THE BODY
systemic lupus erythematosus
