Q

Coleey’s anemia
Autosomal recessive disorder
Characterized by reduced production of one of the globin chains in the synthesis of hemoglobin
Incidence highest in Mediterranean descent
Treatment is supportive and the goal of the therapy is to maintain normal hemoglobin levels by the administration of blood transfusion.

Causative factor-unknown; classified as primary (idiopathic) or Secondary (known cause)
Refers to an increase volume of RBC’s
Hematocrit is elevated to more than 55%

Q

Malignant disorders of blood forming cells characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of white blood cells in the bone marrow-replacing marrow elements. WBC can also proliferate in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes.
Affects the bone marrow, causing anemia from decreased RBC’s WBC’s and platelet,
The cause is unknown

17
Q

4 phases of Chemotherapy

A

RADIATION THERAPY
GRANULOCYTE COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR (G-CSF)
STEM CELL TRANSPLANT
MULTIPLE MYELOMA

18
Q

Involves treating cancer with
Beams of high-energy particles, or waves (radiation), such as gamma rays.

A

RADIATION THERAPY

19
Q

A drug stimulates the bone marrow to make more WBC, thereby preventing the consequences of neutropenia

A

GRANULOCYTE COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR (G-CSF)

20
Q

Is similar to BMT except the cells are collected from stem cells that circulate in the bloodstream (peripheral blood)

A

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT

21
Q

Most common neoplastic disorder of the plasma cell within the bone
Bone marrow malignancy
An excessive number of abnormal plasma cells invading the bone marrow and ultimately destroy bone, invasion of the Lymph nodes, spleen and liver occurs.
Causes decreased production of immunoglobulin and antibodies and increased levels of Uric acid and calcium which can lead to renal failure.
Develops slowly and cause is unknown
At risk for pathological fractures.

A

MULTIPLE MYELOMA

22
Q

Hodgkin’s & Non-Hodgkin’s disease
Lymphosarcoma
Burkitt’s lymphoma
Malignancy of the lymph nodes that originates in a single lymph nodes or a chain of nodes

A

LYMPHOMA

23
Q

Aka: glandular/ kissing disease

A

INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS

24
Q

Increased destruction of platelets with platelet count less than 100,000/mm3 characterized by petechiae and ecchymosis of skin.
Exact mechanism unknown
Often preceded by a viral illness
Spleen not enlarged

A

IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA

25
Q

X-linked recessive trait: deficit in one of the clotting factors.

A

HEMOPHILIA

26
Q

Chronic inflammatory disease of connective tissue (autoimmune)
Systemic inflammation with periods of remission and exacerbation
Connective tissue and fibrin deposits collect in blood vessels on collagen fibers and on organs
The deposits lead to necrosis and inflammation in blood vessels, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract and pleura

A

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
