Dent cases Flashcards
thc
pschoactive
- produces high by dopamine
- causes intoxication, motor impairment, anxiety,
cbd
cannbidol not psychoactive
- anti inflammatory
- theraputic
- needs thc to bind
- low side effect
sativta
more stimulating, higher thc
indica
relaxing, higher cbd, more pain relief
cannabis plant anatomy
bud contains the cannabinoids, only on females, must be dried before use
methods of cannabis use
inhalation: fast and direct to blood thru smole
oral
sublingual: under tongue so blood vessels can absorb
topical: reduces pain and inflammation
endocannabinoid system
- associated with memory, appetite, sleep, mood and fertility
2 key made: anandamide and arachidonoylglycerol
receptors are CB1 in central ns (most) and cb2 in periphera ns and immune
exogenous cannabinoids
produce biological effects through interactions with receptors (cbd and thc)
thc and exogenous cannabinoids
interacts with system by binding to both cb1 and cb2
- inhibits adenylyl cyclase, decrease in kinase
- increase dopamine
cbd and exogenous cannabinoids
- not known
- maybe extends life of cannbinoids or another receptor
what does cannabis treat
- hiv, cancer, galucoma, ptsd
medicinal use of cannabis
- pain: antiinflammatory
- anorexia: increase in appetite and symptosm of cancer
- reduces nausea and vomiting from chemo
- relaxes muscles in MS
- less seizures
legal stats of cannabis
- legal in 37 states, 4 territories and district of columbia
- requires doctor, id card and age
rec use of cannabis
- legal in 18 states, 2 territories
- 21 years +
symptoms of cannabis
- altered sense and time, mood change, body movement, more hunger, thinking, hallucinations, psychosis
signs of cannbis use
- dizzy, being silly, bloodshot eyes, hard time remembering, tiredness
long term cannabis effect
- brain dev, breathing, high heart rate (vasodilation and ischemia), hyperemesis syndrome (nausea, vomiting, dehydration), mental illness
cannabis and hr
cb1 activates brain, increase in pulse, increase in bp
is cannabis addictive
- can lead to substance disordeer, 9-30% develop a disorder, if use before 18 then 4-7x more likely to get disorder
oral health and cannabis
- poor oral health, incresed risk of infxn, xerostomia, periodontitis
- changes in the epithelium: candidiasis, cannabis stomatitis (leukoedema of buccal mucosa, causes irritation, blocked salivary gland, leads to neoplasia (abnormal cell growth))
oral cancer and cannabis
- acts as a carcinogen
- asspcoated wotj lesions
- leukoplatia (whie lesions)
- tumors on anterior floor of mouth or tongue
periodontitis and cannabis
- bacterial inflammation that goes deep into tissues, causing loss of bone and tissue
- loose teeth
- get gingivitis that is red and fiery
- treat with scaling (removing tartar and bac from under gumline), root planing (smooth root surface so gums can attach, remove bac), antiobiotics (inhibit bac)
- if advanced then do dental surgery
cannabis and dental treatment
- cannabis lasts 2-3 hours
- increases likelihood of patients getting anxious and paranoid
- tachycardia then give epi
- need 220% higher dose of sedation
can’t use this for weed patients
sedatives: ambien, lunesta, benadryl
- anxiety: xanax, valium, librium
anti dep: zoloft, prozac, lexapro
- pain meds: codeine, percocet, vicodin
- seizure: tegretol, topamax, depakene
blood thinners: coumadin, plavix and heparin
xerostomia and weed
- dose dependent
- give sugar free gu, saliva substitute, low cariogenic diet
how do dentists talk to weed users
- theraphy
- give rewards to patients who are drug free
- tell them the effects
- gie topical fluorides
- importance of regular dental visit
renal cortex
- located between renal corpuscule and renal medulla. contains blood vessels that connect to nephrons, also makes erythropoeietin
renal medulla
- innermost region that contains builk of nephrons and is arranged in pyramid like structure
renal pelvis
- contains a hilum, where renal artery, vein, and nerves enter kidney and where ureter leaves kidney, connects kidney with circulatory and ns system
external kidney regions
- renal fascia, perinatal fat capsule, renal capsule
nephron
- part of kidney that makes urine while removing wastes and substances from blood
- surrounded by vasa recta: capillaries that supply the nephron with nutrients and oxygen and incorporate reabsorbed materials back into blood
cortical nephrons
- originate from glomeruli and have short loop of henle and more superficial (80%)
juxtamedullary nephrons
- less prevalent type, located deeper in the cortex, have long loop of henle and form the papillae (20%)
kidney function fluid and electrolyte balance
- kidney regullates extracell fluid via control of rebabsorption and excretion of Nacl and water. responsible for the regulation of ions such as na, cl, hco3
filtration kidney function
- filters fluids and solutes from plasma into nephrons
reabsorption of kidney
- reabsorbs fluids and solutes out of the renal tubules (nephron) into circulation
secretion of kidney
- after entering the peritubular capillaries, certain substances will be secreted into tubular fluid. this excretes substances such as potassium and acetylcholine (endogenous) and penicillin and salicylic acid (exogenous)
erythropoetin
-stimulates rbc blood cell production in marrow
renin
- converts angioteninogen into angiotensin I
kidney and vit d
convert it from 25 hydroxy to 1,25 hydroxy which is active
- used to regulate calcium levels and maintain homeostasis
ultrafiltrate flow ( not afferent efferent)
- filtered fluid from glomerula capillaries flow into bowman’s capsule and eventually into the proximal tubule
- fluid then flows into the loop of henle; fluid travels through the loop of henle and reaches the thick portion closer to the cortex, travels past the macula densa and into the distal tubule
- from the distal tubule, the fluid enters the connecting tubule and the cortical collecting tubule, which ultimately leads to the cortical collecting duct
- ducts merge and become large, empty into renal pelvis
FILTRATION PROCESS
- glomerulus, capillaries collecting oxygenated, nutrient blood to be filtered. blood enters through the afferent arteriole is filtered through fenestrations in the endothelium, then exits via the efferent arteriole.
- about 20% plasma volume is filtered, 180 L of filtrate per day
- podocytes sit on the surface of glomerular capillaries in fenestrated fashion. they selectively filter the filtrate (water glucose, sodium) to pass through them into the bowman’s capsule space
- protein can’t pass through the fenestrations
