Chapter 9 Flashcards
What is GBD?
global burden disease is the burden caused by environmental diseases has on us , like communicable and nutrional diseases
What is DALY
disability adjusted life year
the sum of years of life lost d/t premature mortality and disease
What global health trend do we see with AIDS from 1990-2010
increase in the mortalitiy d/t AIDS and HIV.
maybe because people do not see them as a disease killing illness
what is health loss
what is the single leading cause of health loss
health loss => morbidity and premature death
undernutrition
What are the leading causes of death in developed countries?
Ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease
Postnatally, what are the 3 conditions that are preventable that cause deaths in children under 5 y/o?
1) Pneumonia
2) Diarrheal diseases
3) Malaria
In developing nations, 5/10 leading causes of death are due to what?
What are they?
infectious diseases
- Respiratory diseases
- HIV/AIDS
- Diearrheal disease
- Tb
- Maleria
We are seeing a increase in lifes lost due to what dieases
Cardiovascular
HIV/AIDS/TB
Cancer
We are seeing a decrease in lifes lost due to what dieases
Neonatal conditions
Diarrheal, lower respiratory infections and other common infectious diseases
What emerging infectious diseases are coming up?
- New strains and organisms (multi-drug resistant TB)
- Diseases that previously affected other species but now affect humans (HIV)
- Diseases caused by an increase in pathogens (dengue fever related to climate change)
what is poised to be the global leading cause of environmental disease?
why
climate change
it is increasing diseases
what diseases are being worsened by heat and air pollution?
- Cardiovascular
- cerebrovascular
- respiratory diseases
what disease are being worsened by rising sea levels that are increasing flood and contaminating our waters
GI problems: gastroentertitis, cholera, food/waterborn infectious diseases
What diseases are being caused by increased temperature, crop failures and extreme weather variation?
give 2 examples
vector-born illnesses (maleria and dengue fever)
What is being caused by changed in local climate that disrupt crop production?
malnutrition
What is toxicology
distribution, effects and MOA of toxins
poisons
all substances are poisons; dose dependent
what are xenobiotics?
exogenous substances (food, air, water soil) taken in via inhaling, ingesting, skin contact that can be detoxified and excreted from the body OR nmetabolized into reactive metabolites that cause damage via CYP P450
how does xenobiotics make ROS
by both detoxing and metabolizing them into reactive metobolites
What are the phases of detoxification of xenobiotics
- Phase I: chemicals undergo hydrolysis, oxidation, or reduction (by CYP 450)
Phase II: often metabolized to WATER SOLUBE compounds through glucuronidation, sulfation, methylation, and conjugation w/ glutathione
Xenobiotics are metabolized by what?
Cause what?
- CYP-450 system in ER of liver
- Either detoxification or conversion into active compounds that cause cell injury –> ROS
What are the inducers of CYP? (mnemonic)
SHADE
Smoking
Hormones
Alcohol
Drugs
Enviornmental chemicals
What decreases CYP activity?
Fasting and/or starvation
detoxification involves metabolism that forms what?
inactive water-soluble substances
