Q

what is case finding

A

an example of SECONDARY PREVENTION

LOOKING for DISEASE that may be PRESENT BUT ASYMPTOMATIC in patients receiving medical care (age- and gender-appropriate screening)

community screening is an analogous intervention at the community level (state fair BP screenings)

Q

what is health risk assessment

A

rely on questionnaires that use demographic, medical, lifestyle, and family history information or calculate the patients “risk age”

if your risk age is higher than actual age then you are at a higher risk of death than the average individual of your age

Q

older person (79) comes in sick and wife is concerned about hearth b/c of multiple hospitalizations and stuff should you make sure is addressed during the rest of the admission process

A

make sure that there is an ADVANCE DIRECTIVES and the PATENTS wishes for END-of-LIFE care are known

this should IDEALLY be done during OUTPATIENTS VISITS with the PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER but make sure to readdress these decisions during the hospital readmission process to ensure that medical personnel adhere to the patient’s specific wishes

Q

what is conjugation

77
what is the mechanism of normal pressure hydrocephalus causing urinary incontinence
expanded ventricle place traction on cortical efferent and afferent fibers (corona radiata) this traction disrupts the periventricular pathways that transmit impulses form the cortex to the sacral micturition center later on in disease lack of inhibition form cerebral cortex leads to frequent and uncontrolled micturition, or urge incontinence bladder fills with urine and empties reflexively when full but patient has no sensation of fullness and no control over bladder function voluntary relaxation of the urethral sphincter remains intact

found at base of intestinal crypts phagocytic and secretory provide first-line immune defense against microorganisms secret lysozyme (decreases cell walls of any bacteria) and defensins (polypeptides with antimicrobial properties)

when does one test stool for fecal leukocytes (PMNs)
when it is unclear if the cause of diarrhea is inflammatory or not

81
what does IgA protease do in NEISSERIA
cleave IgA at its hing region causing Fc and Fab portions and decreasing the effectiveness of the IgA this allows the BACTERIA to ADHERE to the MUCOSA

GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL
83
what nerve senses information form the aortic arch baroreceptors and aortic arch chemoreceptors
VAGUS NERVE
84
what is HIV-associated dementia
features of SUBCORTICAL DEMENTIA (attention/working memory problems, executive dysfunction, slow information processing) as HIV affects primarily the subcortical/deep gray matter structures pathogenesis: INFLAMMATORY ACTIVATION OF MICROGLIAL CELLS which form groups of MICROGLIAL NODULES around small areas of necrosis and may fuse to form multinucleate giant cells neuronal damage is believed to be due to cytokine relate by macrophages/microglial cells and the direct toxic effect of HIV-derived proteins
