Pathology I: LP 1 & II Flashcards
A disease of unknown origin
Idiopathic
A subjective experience relating to a disease or disorder
Symptom
Wasting of a tissue or an organ from disure
Atrophy
The 4 Signs of Inflammation
- Heat
- Redness
- Swelling
- Pain
Common Duration of Acute Inflammation
24 to 48 Hours
A Set of Protocols that Limit Medical Professional Contact with Body Fluids
Universal and Standard Precautions
A change from the state of health
Disease
The Study of Disease Causes
Etiology
Determining the name of a disease by the S/S
Diagnosis
The progress of a disease
Prognosis
Has a rapid onset and short duration
Acute
Is long term or recurrent
Chronic
Causes of Cellular Damage
- Chemical and Physical Damage
- Infection
- Immune System Hypersensitivity
- Genetic Factors
- Neoplasm (abnormal growth)
Decreased O2 to Cells Causing them Suffocate
Hypoxia
Infection causing herpes, warts, common cold rabies, hepatitis
Viral
Infection causing pneumonia, strep throat
Bacterial
Infection spread through close contract
(lice, mites, scabies, ringworm, protozoa)
Parasitic
Cellular damage caused by allergies and autoimmune diseases
Immune System Hypersensitivity
Abnormal mass of issue
Growth exceeds normal growth and persists in the same manner after the stimuli has been removee
Neoplasia
Abnormal increase in the number of cells
Hyperplasia
Most dangerous form of cancer
Malignant
Tissue cells change into a type that is abnormal, but does not replicate rapidly
Metaplasia
Change in cell size, shape or oraganization
Dysplasia
Neoplastic Change
- Cells resemble the cells surrounding tissue
- Slow, does not spread
- Causes: inflammation, irritation, idiopathic
- No secondary growths
Benign
Neoplastic Change
- Cells my have unusual nuclei, size, shape
- Growth rate is erratic
- Causes: chronic irritation, carcinogens, idiopathic
- More likely have secondary growth (metastasis)
Malignant
Increase in cell size
Hypertrophy
Cellular repair stage lasting 2 to 3 weeks post the acute stage
Subacute
Massage Therapy Goals in the Healing Process
- Promote strong, mobile scar tissue
- Promote pain free ROM
- Respect healing process
Potential Systemic S/S of Acute Inflammation
- Fever
- Headache
- Tender Lymph Nodes
- General Fatigue
- Loss of Appetite
- High WBCs
Scar tissue is also called…
- Adhesions
- Fibrosis
Inadequate blood supply to a part of the body
Ischemia
3 Forms of Disease Transmission
- Ingestion
- Contact
- Vecotrs
Hand Washing Protocol
- 20 seconds
- Hot Soapy Water
- Before and After Contact
Percentage of Bleach in Solution to Clean Surfaces
10%
4 Functions of Skin
- Protection
- Homeostasis
- Sensory Envelope
- Absorption and Excretion
An infection that affects groups of hair follicles and nearby skin tissue. It is virulent and communicable.
