Q

Patho of emphysema

A

Emphysema is a pathologic diagnosis defined by permanent destruction of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles. This leads to a dramatic decline in the alveolar surface area available for gas exchange. Furthermore, loss of alveoli leads to airflow limitation by 2 mechanisms. First, loss of the alveolar walls results in a decrease in elastic recoil, which leads to airflow limitation. Second, the loss of the alveolar supporting structure leads to airway narrowing, which further limits airflow. Caused by smoking and air pollution

Q

Path of Chronic Bronchitis

A

Inflammation of the central airways is a prominent feature in subjects with chronic bronchitis. The pathology of chronic bronchitis includes an inflammatory cell infiltrate in the airway wall and a neutrophil influx into the airway lumen. The molecular events that produce the inflammation-causing mucus hypersecretion The inflammatory cell recruitment to the airways likely involve chemotactic agents derived not only from tissue fluid. synthesize neutrophils and lymphocytes.

Q

Patho of Croup

A

Croup causes swelling of the larynx, trachea, and large bronchi due to the infiltration of white blood cells. Swelling results in partial airway obstruction which, when significant, results in dramatically increased work of breathing, and the characteristic turbulent, noisy airflow known as stridor due to the infiltration of white blood cells. The parainfluenza virus typically causes croup, but a bacterial infection can also cause it.

Q

Patho of Bronchilitis

A

Bronchiolitis is inflammation of the bronchioles usually caused by an acute viral illness. It is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in children younger than 2 years of age. Bronchiolitis occurs as a result of the inflammation of the lining of the epithelial cells of the small airways in the lungs causing mucus production, inflammation, and cellular necrosis of those cells. It is the inflammation of these cells that can obstruct the airway and ultimately result in wheezing.

Q

Patho of ACS

A

decreased blood flow to part of heart musculature which is usually secondary to plaque rupture and formation of thrombus. Sometimes ACS can be secondary to vasospasm with or without underlying atherosclerosis. The result is decreased blood flow to a part of heart musculature resulting first in ischemia and then infarction of that part of the heart.

20
Q

Path of Cardiogenic

A

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion due to cardiac dysfunction, and it is often caused by acute myocardial infarction. ischemia causes myocardial dysfunction Myocardial stunning. Low perfusion pressures with global ischemia lead to multiorgan dysfunction. E.g Hypotension+ tachycardia

21

Cholecystitis -occurs when the gall bladder becomes inflamed. Obstruction usually occurs in the cystic duct. has fever

• Signs and Symptoms of pain under the rib cage  Description. Murphy's sign is elicited in patients with acute cholecystitis by asking the patient to take in and hold a deep breath while palpating the right subcostal area.
• Shoulder tip pain
22
Q

Patho of pancreatitis

A

obstruction( gall stones, alcohol use ) of pancreatic secretory transport and by an activation of pancreatic enzymes. In biliary acute pancreatitis, outflow obstruction with pancreatic duct hypertension and a toxic effect of bile salts contribute to disruption of pancreatic ductules, with subsequent loss of extracellular compartmentation. Alcohol induces functional alterations of plasma membranes and alters the balance between proteolytic enzymes and protease inhibitors, thus triggering enzyme activation, autodigestion and cell destruction.

23
Q

Patho of upper/lower GI

A

Oesophageal varices -Develop through portal hypertension and dilates veins causing to rupture causing bleeds. Varices are pooling of blood . The veins drain blood, although if bleeding endo tube can see if bleeding occure
Mallory Weiss syndrome
A tears end of oesophagus that are superficial caused by alcohol and smoking , chronic vomit and straining .
Erosive gastric erosions in the stomach of the mucus defence. Bleed can be present and treated by H2 blocked and caused from alcohol ,stress and NSAIDS
Mass lesions are cancer or build up of mass in the stomach that burst
Angiodysplasia are vascular abnormality causes colon that elastic is dilated are weak .

Lower GI
Diverticular usually in the descending colon causing bleeding and constipation
Angiodysplasia weak vascular in the colon
Colitis
• ischemic affects blood flow to colon and reduces circulation of areas .
• Inflammortory have ulcers in lower colon .
• Infectious caused by bacteria and effects colon.

24
Q

A
  • Infection of urinary tract
    • Poor hygiene , surgery ,urine compromise , autoimmune disease Pyelonephritis is upper kidney infection that could lead to kidney failure
    • Women more at risk
    • Can be bacteria cause by E coli and introduce to the tract
    • Colonisation starts
    • Neutrophils are recruited in the area
    • Bacteria multiple and evade neutrophils
    • When progresses it reaches to kidneys and colonise causing kidney failure or sepsis
25
Q

Patho of Diabetes

A

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by the imbalance of insulin supply and demand. It leads to hyperglycemia and abnormal carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Alpha glucose and bets are insulin
• Type I diabetes mellitus is caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, which leads to an absolute insulin deficiency (birth)
• Born with a genetic condition which is caused by the environment
• T cells attack beta cells
• Symptoms develop through brain, muscles, and liver
• Insulin is present so liver releases glucose in response acting like its starving to take up in adipose fatty tissue that digests it for further energy causing lethargy and fatigue
• Glucose overwhelm kidneys infiltration and draws more water through urine

* Type II diabetes mellitus has a gradual onset of hyperglycemia and is the result of the development of resistance to the action of insulin and insufficient insulin secretion(age)
* Dysfunction of beta cells responding to high glucose
* Insulin resistance 
* Genetic hx can be caused but also hypertension , overweight and age 
* Obesity over time the receptors become desynthesises over time as it becomes used at high amounts .
26
Q

Patho of gastroenteritis

A

he 2 primary mechanisms responsible for acute gastroenteritis are (1) damage to the villous brush border of the intestine, causing malabsorption of intestinal contents and leading to an osmotic diarrhea, and (2) the release of toxins that bind to specific enterocyte receptors and cause the release of chloride ions into the intestinal lumen, leading to secretory diarrhea.

Norovirus

  • Rotavirus
  • Astrovirus
  • Enteric Adenovirus
27
Q

Path of Pulmonary embolism

A
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).Most times, a pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel from the legs, or rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis or DVT).
Symptoms include shortness of breath ,pleuritic  chest pain and cough up of blood sputum. Worsening chest pain when lying supine .Obstruction of the pulmonary arteries creates dead space ventilation as alveolar ventilation exceeds pulmonary capillary blood flow.This contributes to ventilation-perfusion mismatch, with vascular occlusion of the arteries increasing pulmonary vascular resistance
28
Q

MND /ALS

A

motor neuron disease (MND) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder that mainly attacks the human motor system, leading to significant disability and ultimately
death, usually within 3 years.Genetic .These factors include early management of respiratory dysfunction with non-invasive ventilation, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents 70% of cases.3,6 ALS classically begins in the limb and exhibits a combination of upper and lower motor neuron signs.3,6 In about 20% of patients, the weakness starts in the bulbar region.
Upper motor -stiffness ,slow ,spasm, hyperflexia
Lower motor -fluctuations, weakness and spasm

29
Q

MS

A

• De-myelinating disease
• Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves.
• In MS, resulting nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body.
• Reduce velocity of communication
• Immune system sneaks inti nerves and sees myelin as foreign
• This is autoimmune disease degraders white matter ( myelin ) causing damaged or lesions to the brain .
• Causes plaques and lesions in the brain having damaged immune system causing neuroinflammation .
• T cells mistakes myelin and attacks its attached proteins and promote degradation ,recuit immune cells( b cell)and macrophages
• Multiple sclerosis is multiple plaques
• Physiotherapy and medication that suppress the immune system can help with symptoms, and slow disease progression.
Multiple sclerosis causes many different symptoms, including vision loss, pain, fatigue and impaired coordination

30
Q

DKA/ HHS

A

Diabetic ketone acidosis and hypergylcemic and hyperpolar nonkenotic coma occurs when the body starts breaking down fat at a rate that is much too fast. The liver processes the fat into a fuel called ketones, which causes the blood to become acidic
elevated levels of counter regulatory hormones: glucagon (16,17), catecholamines (16,18), cortisol (16), and growth hormone (19,20), resulting in increased hepatic glucose production and impaired glucose utilization in peripheral tissues, and 3) dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities, mainly due to osmotic diuresis caused by glycosuria (21) (Figure 3). Diabetic ketoacidosis is also characterized by increased gluconeogenesis,

31
Q

Patho Parkinson’s

A

These include paucity and slowness of movement (akinesia, bradykinesia), muscle stiffness (rigidity), and tremor at rest. In large part, these problems result from the prominent degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, and the consequent deficiency of dopamine in brain areas that receive dopaminergic inputs from those neurons, specifically the post-commissural putamen and other basal ganglia regions.

32
Q

what is Hematochezia

A

Hematochezia is the passage of fresh blood per anus, usually in or with stools.

33
Q

Melena

A

Dark tarry stool with or without visible blood.

34
Q

oesphageal varcies

A

Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus. They’re often due to obstructed blood flow through the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestine, pancreas and spleen to the liver.

35
Q

volvus

A

A volvulus is when a loop of intestine twists around itself and the mesentery that supports it, resulting in a bowel obstruction.

36
Q

ascities

A

Ascites is the abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Technically, it is more than 25 ml of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Symptoms may include increased abdominal size, increased weight, abdominal discomfort, and shortness of breath. Complications can include spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.caused by liver scarring, otherwise known as cirrhosis. Scarring increases pressure inside the liver’s blood vessels. The increased pressure can force fluid into the abdominal cavity, resulting in ascites.

37
Q

CHF and pulmonary odema

A

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an imbalance in pump function in which the heart fails to maintain the circulation of blood adequately. The most severe manifestation of CHF, pulmonary edema, develops when this imbalance causes an increase in lung fluid secondary to leakage from pulmonary capillaries into the interstitium and alveoli of the lung.

Meso - The NAC has neuron transmission of dopamine although releasing a large amount to cause binding on receptors to experience positive symptoms of delusion and hallucinations
Mesolimbic - In the frontal cortex also cause low dopamine amount that cant bind to all receptors developing negative symptoms which are decrease in social anilities- sadness

46
Q

Inflammatory cascade

A

Reddness, swelling , heat and pain

Chemical release of chinkine release and mast cells activated by virus /bacteria , mast cell release histamine and leukyrites
Histamine stimulate endothelial cells to spereates and starts to vasodilates, pooling blood and WBC in injury sites
Responders of neutrohphils and macrophages
And respond to chemicals
B cells and T cell recuitment
Heat 1.Cell are damaged or killed by physical injury of invading organisms.
2. Chemicals are released by granulocytes (e.g. histamines) which promote vasodilation around the damaged area.
3. More blood flow occurs to this area, and in the blood are cells and chemicals to help stop an infection from occurring. This increased blood flow results in redness, swelling and warmth around the area.
4. Due to the histamines making the blood vessels
