Dx VS Disorder
Dx - interruption of normal body function exhibited by a sign or symptom which can be linked to an etiologic agent
Disorder - disturbance of function, structure or both, due to a genetic or embryologic failure or from exogenous factors (poison, trauma)
Infxn VS Infestation
Infection - invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues
Infestation - parasitic attack or subsistence on the skin and its appendages by insects, mites or ticks and invasion of the tissues or organs by helminths and other parasites
SAC
Specific cause
Abnormality
Clinical sign
SHAKD
Syndrome or pattern recognition
Hypothetico-deductive reasoning
Arborization or algorithm
Key abnormality
Data base
previous cases VS current case
dx is quick and accurate
easiest for seasoned practitioners
based on exp
Syndrome or pattern recognition
initially has multiple diagnoses (hypotheses)
clinical exams are based on hypothesis
dependence on a key clinical sign
Hypothetico-deductive reasoning
preplanned program
pass or fail
requires a complete and updated list of diagnoses
does not require memorization of a list of dx and diagnosis test because everything is laid
Arborization or algorithm
requires good knowledge of normal to ID abnormal
helpful for practicing one’s clinical eye
stringent methods
requires uses of many paraphernalia
option for learning
time consuming
Key abnormality
expanded version of hypothetico-deductive method
ideal for teaching
basis is to conduct a complete clinical and clinicopathological exam in order to get a comprehensive database
problems/signs are matched w/ the diagnostic database of signs or syndromes w/c are labeled w/ diagnoses
combi of arborization/algorithm and key abnormality
