intro & cellular damage Flashcards
quiz 1
what is the quest for complete and thorough understanding of a disease process?
pathology
what is the observables tissue change associated with a disease ?
lesion
what is the mechanism of how a disease develops from its initiation to its morphologic manifestation?
pathogenesis
what is the process by which lesion lead to clinical signs?
pathophysiology
what are the set of symptoms or clinical signs, characteristics of medical conditions & exhibited by patient?
symptomatology
What does lesion have to correlate with to be able to understand pathogenesis?
symptomatology
what is the expected out come of conditions ?
prognosis
what is the additional diagnostic tests that are performed to reach definitive diagnosis or etiologic diagnosis?
ancillary testing
what is a lesion that is a characteristic of specific disease beyond any doubt?
pathognomonic lesion
what is based on case history ,clinical signs & physical exam findings?
clinical diagnosis
what is a list of diseases that could account for the clinical findings &/or lesions of a case ?
differential diagnosis
what is based on changes observed in biochemistry, hematology & cytology?
clinical pathologic diagnosis
what is based on predominant lesion or pattern of lesions; maybe macroscopic or microscopic ?
Morphologic diagnosis (lesion diagnosis)
what is based on the conclusive evidence that confirms the cause of a diseases; usually pertaining to infectious agents & often requires ancillary testing?
Etiologic diagnosis
what is based on conclusive evidence from clinical data & observed lesion?
Definitive diagnosis
what are the 5 components of Morphologic diagnosis ?
- severity 2. duration 3. distribution 4. location 5. nature of lesion
what are the different variation for severity in morphologic diagnosis ?
- Mild 2. moderate 3. severe
what are the different variation for duration in morphologic diagnosis?
- Peracute 2. acute 3. subacute 4. Chronic
what are the different variation for nature of lesion in Morphologic diagnosis?
- Inflammatory 2. degenerative 3. Neoplastic
what are the different variation of distribution in Morphologic diagnosis?
- focal 2. multifocal 3. coalescing 4. diffuse
what are the causes for cellular injury ?
- Hypoxia 2. oxidative stress( free radial) 3. physical agents
What are the 2 events that can result in Hypoxia ?
- reduce blood flow 2. Reduced oxygen saturation of the blood
What are some examples of diseases that will cause reduced blood flow?
- heart disease 2. shunting 3. hypovolemia 4. congestion 5. vessel obstruction 6. infaction 7. ischemia
what are some examples of diseases that will cause reduced oxygen saturation of blood?
- respiratory disease 2. anemia 3. methoglobinemia 4. erythrocyte abnormalities
