Q

What are the 3 P’s of Type 1 DM?

A
  • polyuria: urination (sugar spills into urine and water follows, increased urine output)
  • polydipsia: thirst (body senses hypovolemia, drinking triggers thirst
  • polyphagia: hunger (decreased weight due to fluid loss, fat stores broken down, protein broken down; cells need energy)

Q

pathophysiology of asthma early response

A

inflammation: allergen binds to IgE on mast cells –> degranulate –> mediators released (histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin, TNF, IL-1) –> vasodilation, increased permeability, bronchospasm and edema and mucus secretion

Q

pathophysiology of asthma late response

A

chemotactic recruitment causes latent release of inflammatory mediators –> causes bronchospasms, edema and mucus –> synthesis of leukotrienes (prolonged smooth muscle contraction) –> neuropeptides (increased bronchial hyper responsiveness) and eosinophils (direct tissue injury - impaired mucociliary function) –> accumulation of mucus and cellular debris form plug in airways
