25
Defibrillator
device placed under the skin that monitors your heart rhythm, if an irregular rhythm is detected it delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm
26
Electrocardioversion
electrodes placed on chest that deliver electrical shocks to restore normal heart rhythm
27
Polycythemia
"absolute polycythemia" increase in red blood cells, commonly seen in men between ages 40-50 ss: dizziness, headache, visual disturbance, hypertension.
28
Thalassemia
Most common genetic disorders in the world | inherited blood disorder which there is deficient synthesis of protein chains required for normal function of hemoglobin
29
Sickle cell anemia
"sickle" shaped hemoglobin, genetic disorder, if one gene is inherited heterozygous it is considered sickle cell trait. If inherited two genes one from each parent then it is called sickle cell anemia. 10% of african americans have sickle cell trait. Sickle cell crisis are painful episodes.
30
Thrombocytopenia
abnormally small amount of circulating platelets, most common bleeding problem among hospitalized patients. impaired production or increased destruction of platelets. Caused by chemotherapy or radiation which suppresses platelet formation by destroying bone marrow. Causes prolonged bleeding. Can usually be corrected
31
Clotting cascade
platelets initially plug the broken vessel, then fibrin come and help. You have fibrinogen circulating in blood, when you are injured then your body triggers prothrombin converts to thrombin, which help convert fibrinogen to fibrin. Intrinsic (workhorse) and extrinsic (spark) pathway
32
Clotting factors
Thrombin activates factor 5, 7,8,11,13 Factor 12 is not really needed in intrinsic pathway. Extrinsic factor 3,7,10
33
Hemophilia
Love to bleed Hemophilia A = Factor 8 deficiency Hemophilia B= Factor 9 deficiency Hemophilia C= Factor 11 deficiency
34
Oxygen Saturation rates
Normal rates are 90% or above, levels below 90% signify decreased lung function
35
Rapid Strep test, throat culture
used to diagnose tonsillitis
36
Pneumonia
is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can cause pneumonia
37
Digestive process
Begins in the mouth with break down of food, saliva moistens the food and releases an enzyme to help break down starch, food then passes through the pharynx (throat) and down the esophagus to the stomach. chyme then passes through the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine, most digestion happens in the duodenum. Peristalsis propels food down the digestive track.
38
volvulus
twisted intestine
39
adhesion
sticking together
40
intussusceptions
intestine telescopes into itself, usually in first 3-6 months of life
41
hiatal and inguinal hernia
hiatal hernia: part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm Inguinal hernia:A condition in which soft tissue bulges through a weak point in the abdominal muscles.
42
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and Aldosterone
regulate water and salt in the body. ADH from posterior pituitary acts on kidney and promotes water reabsorption. Aldosterone from the adrenal gland acts on the kidney to promote sodium reabsorption
43
Polyuria
abnormally large amount of urine production
44
Dysuria
painful urination
45
oliguria
low urine output
46
pyelonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney due to a bacterial infection.
47
glomuerulonephritis
s inflammation of the tiny filters in your kidneys (glomeruli). Glomeruli remove excess fluid, electrolytes and waste from your bloodstream and pass them into your urine. Glomerulonephritis can come on suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic
48
urethritis
inflammation of the urethra
49
cystitis
An infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra.
50
Symptoms of kidney disease
oliguria, anuria, low urine volume, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, odor of ammonia on breath due to accumulation of nitrogen in the blood.
51
GFR & Creatinine
Doctors measure the blood creatinine level as a test of kidney function. The kidneys' ability to handle creatinine is called the creatinine clearance rate, which helps to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -- the rate of blood flow through the kidneys.
52
RAAS
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a signaling pathway responsible for regulating the body's blood pressure. Stimulated by low blood pressure or certain nerve impulses (e.g. in stressful situations), the kidneys release an enzyme called renin.
53
Nephritic syndrome
there will be development of kidney lesions
54
Chronic glomerulonephritis what does a CT and US reveal?
size, shape, location as well as related structures such as ureters and bladder. tumors, abscesses, fluid collection and infection
55
Parathyroid gland regulates what?
Calcium and phosphate
56
What is the Pancreas associated with?
Somatostatin, glucagon, and insulin
57
What disease is the most common form of hypothyroidism?
Graves Disease
58
In hyperthyroidism as calcium levels rise what levels fall?
Phosphate
59
Occipital lobe is responsible for?
visual input
60
Autonomic nervous system include?
enteric, sympathetic, and parasympathetic
61
Bells Palsy
paralysis of facial muscles and is caused by inflammation of the facial nerve
62
What is affected in meningitis?
Pia mater and arachnoid mater
63
What can neutralize the toxin of tetanus?
immunoglobulin
64
Parkinson's disease is related to reduced levels of?
neurotransmitter: dopamine and norepinephrine
65
What does an Otoscope allow visualization of?
auditory canal and tympanic membrane
66
Swelling of the Otitis may perforate what?
Tympanic membrane
67
Age hearing loss is realted to
Presbycusis and need for hearing aides
