The difference between aerobic and anaerobic metabolic processes is the presence of:
water
glucose
carbon dioxide.
oxygen
•Iatrogenic----
ID of a specific disease by evaluating symptoms and conducting lab tests.
•Cause of disease (genetic, infection, dysfunction, etc.)
cause is unknown
–results from a treatment, procedure, or medical error
•Predisposing factors-
age, gender, ethnicity ,occupational exposure
•the development of the disease or the sequence of events involved in the tissue changes related to the specific disease process.
•(flies under the radar), no obvious manifestations are exhibited
•incubation period “silent period”
Most infectious in some viruses
Latent-
age, gender, ethnicity ,occupational exposure
•the development of the disease or the sequence of events involved in the tissue changes related to the specific disease process.
•(flies under the radar), no obvious manifestations are exhibited
•incubation period “silent period”
Most infectious in some viruses
Symptoms
–objective (What the Dr. See’s)-felt, heard or seen
–subjective (what the patient experiences) not visible outwards to others
collection of signs and symptoms
that occur together.
•Morbidity
likelihood of outcome
incidence w/in a group
death rate
study the occurrence of disease
•Epidemics-
# new cases
world-wide
# new + old (total # cases)
many cases in an area
If you observe cells enlarging and becoming too large, what condition is that called?
Atrophy
Hypertrophy
Apoptosis
Hyperplasia
What form of cell death happens primarily in the lungs due to encapsulated bacteria, often cheesy in appearance?
Liquefactive
Coagulative
Caseous
Fat
Gangrenous
What is a sign?
The study of the causes of a disease
Subjective evidence of a disease
Objective evidence of a disease
To identify a disease
What is chronic disease?
when the course of the disease lasts long
a disease that appears suddenly and does not long
a disease caused by a pathogen
a disease not caused by pathogens
Course of Infection
How long the disease is communicable
The process of transferring a pathogen form one host to another
How easily the pathogen is transmitted
Predicted course and outcome of a disease.
Prognosis
Diagnosis
Complication
What is the stage when you feel a bit better and the disappearance of the disease or it is a time the host recovers gradually and returns to baseline?
IllnessStage
convalescence Stage
Incubation Stage
Prodromal Stage
1. This is the interval from the onset of non-specific signs and symptoms to the appearance of more specific symptoms. This is the time when microorganisms grow and multiply and the sick person may be more capable of spreading disease to the others.
Illness stage
Convalescence Stage
Incubation Stage
Prodromal stage
•Epidemics-
# new cases
world-wide
# new + old (total # cases)
many cases in an area
