horomone
what is a major problem for patients with type 1 diabetes?
controlling blood glucose levels… glucose is controlled by multiple injections of insulin
this type of hemophelia is less severe bleeding with defect in factor IX… risk of post op bleeding, bleeding and PT are normal.. PTT is prolonged
Hemophelia
what is the most common cause of hyperparathyroidism?
parathyroid adenoma which is a benign tumor of parathyroid gland
this is protrusion of the eyeballs
exopthalmus
this is the production of ketone acid from the breakdown of fatty tissues and is life threatening
diabetes mellitus
autoimmunity of type 1 diabetes leads to the destruction of insulin producing beta cells which leads to
insulin deficiency
what disease is associated with as a result of decreased production of adrenal steroids, the pituitary gland increases its production of adrenocorticotopic hormone (ACTH)
addison’s disease
decreased number of neutrophils in blood
neutropenia
this is thickening of the blood vessel wall from fibrofatty plaques and is associated with diabetes
atherosclerosis
what is type 1 diabetes?
insulin dependent
what are the causes of hyperthyroidism?
hyperplasia of the gland
benign and malignant tumor of thyroid
pituitary gland disease
metastic tumor
marked reduction in circulating neutrophils
agranulocytosis
what are the causes of relative polycythemia?
diuretic use, vomiting, diarrhea or excessive sweating
what bones does polyostatic fibrous dysplasia involve?
bones of the face, skull, clavicles and long bones
these types of hemophelia are linked diseases and are transmitted through an unaffected daughter or grandson
types A and B- inherited X
this type of hemophelia is most common and is caused by a deficiency of plasma thromboplastinogen (factor VIII)
type A
characterized by severe hemorrhage
what are the types of polycythemia?
polycythemia vera (primary)
secondary polycythemia
relative polycythemia
malignant neoplasms of the hematopoitic stem cells (blood forming cells) or disorder in bone marrow/ excessive number of abnormal WBC in circulating blood
leukemia
what is folic acid essential for?
DNA synthesis
what is the cause of primary aplastic anemia?
unknown cause
insoluble protein that is essential to the clotting of blood
fibrin
this is also known as primary adrenal cortical insufficiency
addison’s disease
what’s necessary for fibrinogen to be converted to fibrin?
11 clotting factors
what are the clinical manifestations of chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
gingival bleeding and periodontal disease
WBC count can increase 50,000 cells
treat with chemo and bone marrow transplants
abnormal rarefaction of bone
osteoporosis
difficulty swallowing.. atrophy of the upper alimentary tract and predisposition to development of oral cancer
dysphagia
what are the clinical signs of iron deficiency anemia?
angular chellits, pallor of oral tissues or erythematous, smooth, painful tongue
who is hyperthyroidism more common in?
women
accumulation of acid in the body resulting from the accumulation of ketone bodies
ketacidosis
release of hemoglobin from RBC by destruction of the cells
hemolysis
excessive apatite.. associated with type 1 diabetes
polyphagia
how is paget’s disease diagnosed and treated?
lab tests of elevated serum alkaline phosphates level
no treatment. still experimenting
what does acute leukemia do orally?
causes bleeding gums, petchiae and ecchymoses present
treat with bone marrow transplant
this is when hypothyroidism is present during infancy and childhood
cretinism
this is an excessive production of thyroid hormone
hyperthyroidism
reduction of the number of red blood cells, quantities of hemoglobin, or volume of packed RBC
anemia
what is it called when patients have a thickened tongue?
macroglossia
abnormally large blood cells
megaloblastic anemia
this is an inherited disorder of platelet function
von willebrands disease
how is pernicious anemia diagnosed and treated?
lab test of low serum vitamin b12 levels, gastric achlorydia and megalobalastic anemia
treat with injection of b 12
what percent of patients are type II and when is the onset?
90% of patients
usually in their 40’s
this type of leukemia is a slow onset affecting adults?
chronic leukemia
this causes menses, pubic hair and breast development by the age of 2
precocious puberty
what is an increase in growth horomone production associated with hyperpituitarism?
gigantism
what is associated with the development of aplastic anemia?
chenotherapgy, radioactive isotopes, radium, or radiant energy
excess of glucose in blood
hyperglycemia
what is the normal platelet count?
150,000-400,000 mm cube
this is a chronic metronomic disease characterized by resorption, osteoblastic repair, demineralization of the involved bone… occurs in older men and in the maxilla
paget’s disease
these are skin lesions associated with polyoststic fibrous dysplasia
cafe au lait spots
this is an increase in blood cells caused by a physiologic response to decreased oxygen
secondary polycythemia
this provided assessment of the adequacy of platelet function not platelet number and tests measures how long it takes to standardized skin incision to stop bleeding by the formation of temporary hemostasis clot
bleeding time
what are the factors causing a decrease in oxygen with secondary polycythemia?
pulmonary disease, heart disease, living in high altitudes and increase in carbon monoxide
what is thrombocytopenia?
a count of platelets less than 100,000
this is a complex process when blood vessels are damaged/ vasoconstriction occurs in an attempt to stop blood flow then platelets (thrombocytes) adhere to the damaged surface to form a temporary clot to stop bleeding permantley- fibrin must be produced
hemostasis
who does polycythemia vera occur in and what are the symptoms?
usually men 40-60 years of age.
symptoms: headache, dizziness, pruritis
increase in rbc/impaired blood flow, vascular stasis and poor circulation(thrombi can lead to death)
