Q

loss of iron in blood, most common form of anemia that results from blood loss, poor nutrition, ulcers, malignant tumors, intestinal parasites, or menorrhagia

A

iron deficiency anemia

18
Q

caused by an underlying condition that shortens the life span of the red blood cell, hemoglobin spills out into the plasma

A

hemolytic anemia

19
Q

hemolytic anemia where RBCs rupture easily

A

spherocytosis

20
Q

hemolytic anemia where abnormal hemoglobin molecule and RBCs are irregular shaped causing rupture

A

sickle cell anemia

21
Q

hemolytic anemia with defective hemoglobin, afflicts persons from Mediterranean heritage

A

Thalassemia

22
Q

radiographically the nature of the disease will result in widening of medullary spaces and thinning of cortices, as bone cells are destroyed and reabsorbed new bone grows over area

A

hemolytic anemia

23
Q

radiographically vertebral bodies concave as a result of pressure

A

sickle cell anemia

24
Q

deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acids leading to defective DNA caused by poor diet, strict vegetarian diet, and alcoholism

A

megaloblastic anemia

25
most common form of megaloblastic anemia leading to insufficient secretions of gastric mucosa and malabsorptions of foods
pernicious anemia
26
generalized failure of bone marrow to produce enough RBCs, leukocytes, and platelets, cannot fight infections and has tendency to bleed
aplastic anemia
27
infiltration of bone marrow by tumor cells or corticoid thickening, Gaucher's disease and chronic osteopetrosis
myelophthisic anemia
28
hyperplasia of bone marrow resulting in increased production of RBCs, granulocytes, and platelets, causes increase in blood volume and viscosity
polycythemia
29
may cause increased incidences of cerebral thrombis, peptic ulcer disease, and increased acids in the blood causing gout
polycythemia
30
neoplastic proliferation of WBCs
leukemia
31
cancer of the bone marrow
myelolytic leukemia
32
malignancy in the lymph nodes causing a proliferation of lymphicytes
lymphatic leukemia
33
early radiographic sign in children is transverse radiolucent bands at the metaphyseal ends of long bones, knees, ankles, and wrists
leukemia
34
neoplasms of the lymphoreticular system: lymph nodes, spleen, and lymphoid tissue of GI tract, lung, and skin
lymphoma
35
makes up 90% of lymphoma and originates in the lymph nodes
Hodgkin's lymphoma
36
viral disease characterized by high fever, fatigue, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands where Epstein Barr may be a cause
infectious mononeucleosis
37
patient may present with enlarged spleen, lymph nodes, hilar node masses, and elevated WBC count with abnormally high count of atypical lymphocytes
infectious mononeucleosis
38
inherited recessive anticoagulative disorder characterized by decreased serum concentration of globulin, suffer tendency to bleed and spontaneous hemorrhage
hemophilia
39
radiographically characterized by bleeding into joint spaces (knees, elbows, ankles) and chronically subchronal cysts
hemophilia
40
deficiency in the number of platelets resulting in spontaneous bleeding under the skin, mucous membranes in the mouth and internal organs
purpura (thrombocytopenia)
41
radiographically characterized by thickening of the mucosal folds of the small intestines due to chronic hemorrhage
purpura (thrombocytopenia)
