Exam 1 Flashcards
How does cells response to injury ?
- Atrophy: decrease in size
- Hypertrophy: Increase in size
- Hyperplasia: Increase in #’s
- Metaplasia: Replacement in cell type thats more durable
- Dysplasia: abnormal dividing of cells
- Neoplasia: No longer function/appear like normal
What are the Diagnostic Process?
Subjective
Objective
Assessment
Plan
What is the subjective phase?
- Gather information from the PT and history.
Example: - Discomfort: pain, dull ache/numbness/tingling
- Function: Difficulty swallowing/opening chewing
- Textural Changes: Dry/rough/swelling
- Location: Where
- Periodocity : association: constant/intermittent
What is the objective phase ?
- observerable and measureable by palpation/visusal/ percussion
Example:
- Soft tissue changes: color/ consistency/ size
- Hard tissue changes: Size and shape
What are the characteristics to describe lesions?
- Location
- Size and shape
- Color
- Description
- Duration/history
What is pathology?
The study of the nature of disease.
Which includes: etiology
Pathogenesis
Phathophysiology
Prognosis
What is disease?
Injury that results in structural or functional changes
Assessment phase is ?
It develops a DIFFERENTIAL diagnosis
Determine a DEFINITIVE diagnosis
What are the biopsy PROCEDURES?
Incisional - take a part of lesion for diagnosis
Excisional- take the entire lesion, for diagnosis and treatment
Needle- insert needle and aspirate some cells done with deeper tissue like organs
Cytological smear- takes sloughed or scraped surface epithelium
Brush biopsy- takes just the epithelium
Planning phase
- Treatment provided based on diagnosis
- Treatment strategies: no treatment
Surgical removal
Pharmacological agents
Behavioral modification
Psychiatric therapy
Referral to specialist or others
What is injury ?
Alteration causing tissue damage
What are the protection measures for injury?
- Physical barrier
- Antibacterial activity of enzymes
- flushing action of saliva
- stomach acid
- cilla and mucous defends airway
What are the different types of inflammatory response ?
- Acute and chronic
- local and systemic
- nonspecific response
What are the clinical signs of inflammation?
- redness
- swelling
- heat
- loss of function
- pain
What are the microscopic events of inflammation?
- Injury
- Constriction of microcirculation
- Dilation of microcirculation
- Increase in permeability of the microcirculation
- Transudate
- increase blood viscosity
- Decreased blodd flow through the microcirculation
- Margination
- Emigration
- WBC ingest foreign and dead material
- Exudate formation
What is exudate?
Fluid, protein, and dead or injuried cells.
What are the 4 types of exudate?
- Serous
- Purulent
- Mucinous
- Fibrinous
What is serous exudate?
- it is plasma and proteins
- It is associated with mild injury
- What is purulent exudate ?
- It is WBCs, tissue, debris
- associated with acute inflammation
- found in abcess and fistulas
What is chemical mediators?
Amplify inflammatory response
What are some systemic manifestations of inflammation?
- Fever
- Leukocystis (increase in WBC count)
- Lymphadenopathy
- Elevated C-reactive protein
What are the types of chemical mediators?
- Histamine- Mast cells
- Serotonin- act like histamine released from platelets
- kinin System- Bradykinin acts like histamine, causes pain
- Fibrinolytic system- plasmin activates clotting and kinin system
- Prostaglandis and leukotrienes- Dilation, pain and produces mmps ( breaks down collagen)
- Cytokines- 1,6,8 TNA (continue movement of WBC)
what is actue inflammation made up of?
- neutrophils (effective against bacteria and fungi)
- Eosinophis (hypersensitivity)
What is chronic inflammation made up of?
- Macrophages
- Lymphocytes
- Fibroblasts
- Endothelial cells
