Lesson 3 ( Basic Concept And Cause 1and 2) Flashcards
Refers to a cause is an event, condition, characteristics or a combination of these factors which has a role in producing the health outcome.
Epidemiology
This theory states that being exposed to specific type of microorganisms always lead to the development of the corresponding disease.
Germ Theory of Disease
Who discovered the germ theory of disease?
Robert Koch
Describe that disease occurs as a result of the interaction between the agent,host and the environment.
Epidemiologic Triad
It is the infectious microorganisms or a pathogen that causes the disease.
Agent
Refers to the human who can get the disease.
Host
It is a extrinsic factor that affect the agent and opportunity of exposure were infection happens.
Environment
What do you call the individual factor that are known as __________ and usually risk Factor.
Components Causes
It is known as complete pie.
SUFFICIENT CAUSE
It is a component that appears in every pie.
NECESSARY CAUSE
It is the absence of a medical intervention called?
NATURAL HISTORY OF DISEASE
What are the two stages of natural History of disease?
PRE- PATHOGENESIS PHASE AND PATHOGENESIS PHASE
It is a stage were period prior to exposure of a host to an agent.
PRE- PATHOGENESIS PHASE
It is a stage were once an agent establishes itself to the host it can cause different pathogens it is termed as incubation period as well.
PATHOGENESIS PHASE
It is a pathogenesis phase which refers to the initiation of the disease up to the point of first detection.
LATENCY PERIOD
It a time interval where an infected host is most infections called?
PERIOD OF COMMUNICABILITY
It is refers where a person is already infectious and is capable of transmitting the disease in isolation.
ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIERS
What is the difference between prevention and intervention?
The difference between prevention and intervention, prevention refers to the efforts aimed at thwarting the occurrence of the disease while intervention refers to efforts aimed at thwarting the disease that is already in place in the individual.
It refers to efforts aimed at thwarting the occurrence of the disease.
PREVENTION
Refers to the efforts aimed at thwarting the occurrence of the disease that is already in place of individual.
INTERVENTION
It is an encompassing term for the containment of any disease were both prevention and intervention measure are include.
CONTROL
What are the 3 level of control measures?
Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary
It is aimed at preventing the occurrence of a disease.
Primary Level of Control
It is a delay onset of the disease and minimize severity or damage.
Secondary Level of Control
It is a blocking progression of disease towards disability or death and improving the quality of life.
Tertiary Level of Control
What are the classification of disease in public health?
Communicable Disease
Non-communicable Disease
Acute Diseases
Chronic Diseases
This disease caused by biological agents or by their action to the host which is term in public health.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
What do you call a disease that cannot be transmitted from person to person.
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE
What do you call a diseases whose peak severity of clinical sign or symptoms occurs and subsides with in 3 months.
ACUTE DISEASES
It a disease where a duration persist more than 3 months or remains for a lifetime.
CHRONIC DISEASES
