Introduction to General & Systemic Pathology Flashcards
An abnormal condition that may impair bodily function, cause discomfort, social problems, death:
disease
The cause of the disease process:
etiology
The mechanism of disease development (how it develops):
pathogenesis
Objective, something you see:
sign
Subjective, something the patient tells you:
symptom
A sign whose presence means that a particular disease is present beyond any doubt:
pathognomonic
The disease state of an individual; incidence (number) of illness in a population:
morbidity
Incidence (number) of death in a population:
mortality
Any type of clinical or molecular abnormality:
lesion
The biochemical and structural changes induced in cells and organs:
molecular and morphologic changes
The functional consequences of morphologic changes:
clinical manifestations
Irritation by biting cheek/tongue, a sharp tooth, etc. :
traumatic ulcer
White lesion that is irregular and thickened- can’t find a cause for it:
leukoplakia
lesion on tooth that may be xerostomia related:
carious lesion
Pigmented lesion, irregular in shape:
melanoma
The most common intraoral melanoma sites in adults is on the:
palate
- traumatic ulcer
- leukoplakia
- carious lesion
- melanoma
These are all types of:
lesions
A lesion may be invisible because it is:
- located deep within the body
- has molecular basis
Examples of invisible lesions due to have a molecular basis (biochemical lesions): (3)
- Diabetes melitus
- Schizophrenia
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PKU is an example of a ___ lesion
“invisible” biochemical lesion
- an autosomal recessive disorder of phenylalanine metabolism- a developmental disease
- caused by a mutation in the enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine (phenylalanine hydroxylase)
- Phenylalanine is toxic to developing brain and causes profound, irreaerisdlbe mental retardation (cognitive disorder)
Phenylketonuria
List the 6 categories of diseases:
- developmental
- infectious
- neoplastic
- metabolic
- immune-mediated
- reactive
What category of disease can be described as genetic or environmental?
developmental
What category of disease can be described as bacteria, fungal, or virus?
infectious
What category of disease can be described as beginning or malignant?
neoplastic
What category of disease can be described as endocrine?
metabolic
What category of disease can be described as allergy, hypersensitivity, or autoimmunity?
immune-mediated
What category of disease can be described as physical, chemical, factorial, or iatrogenic injuries?
reactive
Cherubism is an example of a ____ disease
developmental
- Autosomal dominant disease
- puffy appearance causing expansion of jaws (maxilla)
- multiloculated and giant cell lesions (will resolve)
- palatal tori
Cherubism
Gardner syndrome is an example of a ____ disease
developmental
Amelogenesis imperfecta is an example of a ___ disease
developmental
- autosomal dominant
- chalky white teeth due to mutation in enamel protein
- enamel flakes off of the teeth
amelogenesis imperfecta
Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis 18F is an example of a ___ disease
infectious
- Inflammation of the oral mucosa and gingiva caused by herpes virus
- all of us carry this
primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
Acromegaly (growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma) is an example of a ____ disease
metabolic
- growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (neoplasm)
- excessive GH from pituitary usually tumor cause
-mandible continues to grow creating a prognathic appearance - this occurs after growth plates have fused
acromegaly
Hypothyroidism 18F is an example of a ___ disease
metabolic
- short stature
- delayed dental eruption
- metabolic disease
hypothyroidism 18F
