64
types of hernias
Hiatal, Inguinal, Umbilical, Omphalocele, Rectocele, Cystocele
65
hiatal hernia
portion of the stomach periodically (if sliding) pushing up through space in diaphragm into the thoracic cavity and return to abdominal cavity
66
why are hiatal hernias bad?
pain to pt, reflux
67
inguinal hernia
defect in inguinal canal(where spermatic cord enters into scrotum) - part of bowel protrudes through defect
68
pt complaints of inguinal hernia
lower abd pain, testicular pain (test by having pt bend over/cough - provider feels for hernia push against hand)
69
umbilical hernia
in developing baby contents pass through umbilical space (usually with defect or weakness)
70
ophalocele
most/all of abd contents have protrudes through opening and living outside baby's abdomen. must be surgically corrected
71
cystocele
protrusion of bladder onto the urinary area and pushing onto urethra. Causes pressure onto vaginal canal. Pt complaints of incomplete emptying of bladder, leakage. Can be corrected
72
rectocele
rectum is protruding and putting pressure on vaginal canal. Pt complaints of constipation
73
amniocentesis
amniotic fluid is removed with a needle from the sac, analyzed for karyotyping/genetic abnormalities/infection/defects. Early as 10 wks of pregnancy.
74
amnion sac
sac that surrounds the embryo
75
risk of amniocentesis
loss of pregnancy
76
steps to get to amniocentesis
pt gets a US (family history suggests as well)
## Footnote
Needle passed through cavity into amniotic sac, fluid is withdrawn, fluid is tested
77
Corionic Villus Sampling
aspiration of a small amount of tissue from the chorion of the placenta. (done at 8 weeks). Less invasive. faster results
78
reasons to get amniocentesis
preparation, know for risks/defects/type of delivery/etc.
79
streptococcus
berry shaped bacterium, grows in twisted chains
80
staphylococci
berry shaped bacterium, grow in small clusters like grapes
81
diplococci
berry shaped bacterium, organized into pairs
82
Neisseria Gonorrhea
type of diplococci
## Footnote
causes gonorrhea -- an STI
83
morphology of Neisseria Gonorrhea
gram negative diplococci with adjacent side concave or pear shaped - seen intracellularly
84
Erthrocytes
red blood cells - made in bone marrow
## Footnote
carry oxygen to tissues - contains hemoglobin
85
anemia S/S
SOB w Exertion
86
leukocytes
WBC, many types
87
eosinophils
granulocyte
## Footnote
stain red - most active in allergic or parasite disorders, 3% total leukocytes
88
basophils
granulocyte
## Footnote
stain blue, help with inflammation, rare
89
neutrophil
granulocyte
## Footnote
stain blue and red, phagocyte - engulf/eat bad stuff, 60% leukocytes, polys/polynucular cells
90
lymphocytes
agranulocyte
## Footnote
make Ab - attach to foreign cells, B/T Cells
91
Monocytes
agranulocyte
## Footnote
destroy cell debris, become macrophage
92
platelet (thrombocyte)
clotting
93
CBC
blood test via venipuncture
## Footnote
assess all cell types, can be done with differential (more info)
94
leukocytosis
abnormal condition of an increase in number of WBC
## Footnote
not a disease - SIGN of illness, occurs in MANY conditions (viral/bact/parasitic/fungal infxn, cancer, hemorrhage, exposure to Rx)
95
Leukemia
abnormal increase in cancerous WBC (different from leukocytosis)
## Footnote
pt present with sudden acute illness
96
chronic leukemia
pt asymptomatic for month-year
97
chronic leukemia S/S
fever, chills, extreme weakness/fatigue, infxn
98
Anemia
"no blood"
## Footnote
Reduction in # of RBC
99
types of anemia
Sickle cell, iron deficiency, autoimmune, etc (all have different Tx)
100
Aplastic Anemia
bone marrow fails to produce erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes
## Footnote
50% idiopathic, can be from toxic exposure, radiation, drugs, virus
101
anemia categorization
MCV (mean corpuscular volume)
102
MCV
tells you size of the cell
103
normocytic
normal size of cell (test for anemia) - chronic disease, Early IDA, hemoglobinopathies, primary marrow disease, deficiencies,
104
microcytic
iron deficient, chronic infxns, thalassemias, hemoglobinopathies, sideroblastic anemia
105
macrocytic
megaloblastic, liver disease/alcohol/hemoglobinopathies, metabolic disease,
106
ischemia
holding back of blood from portion of body
107
cause of ischemia
mechanical injury to blood vessel, blood clots, gradual occlusion (2nd to atherosclerosis)
108
common type of ischemia
myocardial ischemia (secondary to atherosclerosis)
109
splenomegaly
organ in LUQ, made of lymph/bl vessels
## Footnote
disposes of dying RBC and manufactures WBC, can be enlarged with infection and other medical conditions
110
splenectomy
spleen removal
## Footnote
more susceptible to illness due to decreased WBC, recommend specific vaccines for these pts
111
important about spleen
LARGE blood supply - don't want to injure this
112
cause of splenomegaly
mononucleosis, leukemia, cancer
113
Achondroplasia
Inherited disorder
bones of arms and legs fail to grow to a normal size secondary to a defect in cartilage and bone
type of dwarfism
pts will have short limbs, typical size head and body - typical intelligence
114
how is achondroplasia dx
in utero by ultrasound
115
ptosis
eyelid muscles are weak, pt cannot keep eye open
blepharoptosis
116
laparoscopy
minimally invasive
telescope inserted into abd for surgery
abd distended with CO2
other small incisions are made in abd for insertion of other instruments
117
indications for laparoscopy
cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, appendectomy, tubal ligation, nissen fundoplication, exploratory surg
118
other names for laparoscopy
peritoneoscopy, minimally invasive surg
119
tracheotomy
incision (to cut into) into the trachea
120
tracheostomy
opening the trachea, indwelling tube placed
121
tonsillitis
inflammation of tonsils
