Heroin
Associated with Granulomatous inflammation in the lungs
Heroin
Release dopamine.
Amphetamines
MDMA also known as
Ecstasy
Serotonin release. Hallucinogen like feeling. Mydriasis and hyperpyrexia
MDMA
MDMA pupil findings similar to

Tissue bridging
Laceration
Incision does not have
Tissue bridging
Limited to epidermis. Painful. Like a sunburn
Superficial first degree burn
Involves dermis. Blisters and is painful
Partial thickness (second degree burn)
Involves subcutaneous or deeper tissue. Charring of tissue. Not painful because nerves are destroyed
Full-thickness (third degree) burn

Psuedomonas
Hypovolemic beyond capacity of cardiovascular system to compensate
Hyperthermia
Core temp > 40C. Vasodilation. Hyperkalemia. Tachycardia and arrhythmias
Hyperthermia
UV, infrared, microwave
Non-ionizing
X-rays, gamma rays, high energy neutrons, alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons)
Ionizing
Energy absorbed per unit mass
Grays
Measurement of damage from an absorbed dose
Sievert
Sympathomimetic on cardiovascular system. Net large amount of Epi and NE in synapse > prevents reuptake and release NE. Blocks reuptake of dopamine
Cocaine
