HF

19
Q

Explain all restrictive lung diseases

A

Restrictive: interstitial problem (non-bacterial)

20
Q

Explain all obstructive lung diseases

A

Obstructive: airway problem (bacterial)
Big mucus-filled lungs (high RV, high Reid)

index = thickness/ airway lumen)

21
Q

What symptoms does a “more likely to depolarize” state have?

A

Brain: psychosis, seizures, jitteriness Skeletal muscle: muscle spasms, cramps
SM: diarrhea
Cardiac: tachycardia, arrhythmia

22
Q

What symptoms does a “less likely to depolarize” state have?

A

Brain: lethargy, mental status changes, depression Skeletal muscle: weakness, SOB
SM: constipation
Cardiac: hypotension, bradycardia

23
Q

What is the humoral immune response?

A

B cells and PMNs patrol the blood looking for bacteria

24
Q

What is the cell-mediated immune response?

A

T cells and Macrophages patrol the tissues looking for non-bacteria

25
Q

What are macrophages called in each area of the body?

A

Blood = Monocytes
Brain = Microglia
Lung = T1 pneumocytes
Liver = Kupffer cells
Spleen = RES cells
Lymph = Dendritic cells
Kidney = Mesangial cells
Payers patches = M cells
Skin = Langerhans cells
Bone = Osteoclasts CT:

26
Q

What is the CBC for every vasculitis?

A

low RBC, platelets,
high WBC, T cells, MP, ESR
schistocytes

27
Q

What is the time course of the inflammatory response?

A

1 hr: Swelling
Day 1: PMNs show up at 4
½ hours, predominate at 24 hours
Day 3: PMNs peak
Day 4: MP/T cells shows up
Day 7: MP/T cells peak, Fibroblasts arrive
Day 30: Fibroblasts peak
Month 3-6: Fibroblasts complete fibrosis

28

What is Necrosis?

A

Non-programmed cell death = noisy, inflammation, nucleus destroyed first

What is Apoptosis?

A

Programmed cell death = quiet, no inflammation, nucleus guides it =>

32
Q

What is Apoptosis?

A

Programmed cell death = quiet, no inflammation, nucleus guides it =>

33
Q

What is Pyknosis?

A

Nucleus turns into blobs “pink blobs”
