Pathophysiology Flashcards
Contractures in the heart
Caused by Ca
Adrenogenital syndrome
Female has male secondary sex characteristics
Increase of androgens
Radiation and lymphopenia
1st 8 hrs of radiation exposure = lose a lot of lymphocytes (lymphopenia)
Radiation and leukocytosis
Increased radiation exposure after 10 hrs = neutrophillic leukocytosis
Dystrophy of the heart
Decrease strength of heart contractions
Myogenic dilation
Dystrophy of the heart
Enlargement of heart cavities
No change in outer region of heart
Tonogenic dilation
Dystrophy of the heart
Causes a change in the outer region of the heart
No change in cavities inside the heart
Transmural MI
Infarction throughout all the layers in the heart
Complications associated with Left Ventricular Insufficiency
Congestion of left atria
Edema in lungs (retrograde effect)
Complications associated with Right Ventricular Insufficiency
Lower limb edema
Ascites
Nutmeg liver
ALWAYS pulmonary hypertension
Congestion
Problem receiving blood
Blood remains in blood vessels
Stenosis of renal artery
Increased secretion of renin lead to increased production of angiotensin
Lead to increase in hypertension
2nd alteration/healing
Scar formation is a 2nd alteration/healing event
Appears as an area of necrosis, edema and hyperemia
1st alteration/healing
No scar
1 drumstick
Indicates 1 barr body
XX
E.g. in Klinefelter syndrome
Prolonged expiration whilst choking
Indicates inspiration dyspnoea
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney
Associated with reductions in filtration
Proteinuria will lead to edema formation
Hyperaemia induced during physical activity
Turning of ankle
Inflammation, arterial hyperemia, warmth increased
Obstructive alveolar ventilation disturbance
Asthma
COPD
Restrictive alveolar ventilation disturbance
Fibrosis
Neuromuscular/Dysregulatory alveolar ventilation disturbance
Paralysis of muscles in respiration
Problem with muscles and CNS
Protopathic pain
Acute and dull pain at the same time
E.g. During tooth extraction
Left ventricular failure
Aka acute heart failure
Linked to hypertension
Breathlessness, cyanosis of lips, skin and face
Right ventricular failure
Linked to pulmonary hypertension Lower limb edema and ascites Nutmeg liver Congestion problems Cyanotic induration of the kidneys and spleen
Neuroparalytic
WPW syndrome
Interleukin - 1
Associated with increases in body temperature
Interleukin - 2
Activates B cells and T cells
Interleukin - 3/4
Activates immunoglobulins
CI range
8.5 to 1.15
<0.85 = Iron deficiency anemia (Microcytic/hypochromic anemia)
>1.15 = B12 deficiency anemia (Megalocytic/hyperchromic anemia)
Hyperfunction of medulla region of adrenal gland
Increased adrenaline activity
