Lecture 51+52+DLA Flashcards
Physical Child Abuse (PCA)
Acts of violence by adults against children. Can include a range of acts, and types of injuries; allowance for reasonable corporal punishment by parents
Child Sexual Abuse
Contacts or interactions between a child
and an adult when the child is being used for the sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person
under 18
much older than the victim
Child Neglect
Failure to provide basic physical health care,
supervision, nutrition, personal hygiene, emotional nurturing, education, and safe housing.
psychological maltreatment
A repeated pattern of damaging interactions between parent(s) and child that becomes typical of the relationship
the pattern can be chronic and pervasive
occurs with potentiating factors (alcohol)
Intimate partner violence (IPV)
is abuse or aggression that occurs in a romantic relationship. “Intimate partner” refers to both current and former spouses and dating partners.
can be: verbal psychological sexual mild/severe physical battering
elder abuse
An Intentional aggressive or invasive behavior/action or threat of same, inflicted on an older adult and resulting in harmful effects for the older adult

DIKW hierarchy model
data- raw; unorganized facts
information - processed organized data
knowledge - application of info
wisdom - evaluated understanding
information system vs information technology
IS: incorporates technology, people, and processes
IT: falls under the umbrella of IS
involves design, implementation, maintenance of the technology
biomedical informatic vs health informatic
Health informatics is applied research and
practice of clinical medicine and public health.
Biomedical informatics is the core scientific
discipline as it is applicable across basic human
biology and the broad spectrum of health
biomedical informatic vs bioinformatics
Bioinformatics combines biology, computer science, and information technology to further the knowledge of biological genomic and conduct research to discover cures
Biomedical informatics analyzes bioinformatic data sets to customize cures for patients and streamline care processes in healthcare facilities
types of transplants
auto, iso, allo, and xeno
Autograft – grafts from yourself ▪ Isograft – grafts from an identical twin ▪ Allograft – grafts from the human species ▪ Xenograft – grafts from a different species
barriers to transplantation
supply and immune rejection
allograft rejection
first-set rejection
primary immune response
leukocytes take 3-7 days
full rejection by 10-14 days
second set rejection
due to immunologic memory
takes 3-4 days (start)
full rejection (5-6 days)
stages of the allograft rejection
- sensitization stage:
Lymphocytes (T cells) of the recipient proliferate in response to antigens on the graft - effector stage
host immune system will attack the graft
Th cells
direct vs indirect allorecognition
direct: T cells will recognize unprocessed allogenic MHC molecule on graft APC
indirect: the T cell will recognize the processed peptide of allogenic MHC molecule on host APC
