Gigantism. 2

Study These Flashcards
A

hyperfunction of pituitary gland pre puberty

25
Acromegaly. 2
hyperfunction of pituitary gland post puberty
26
Hep A. 3
* from feces, oral transmission =\> incubation 2-6 wks
27
TB
infectious lung disease
28
Systemic lupus erythematosis. 7
* immune system attacking own cells * butterfly rash present * blood work and symptoms (painful urination etc) * antinuclear antibodies (ANA) * wbc eating nucleus of protein * attacks vital organs * find ANA =\> wbc with blood over teeth and protein hanging out
29
flaring of alae
pneumonia or asthma
30
Pulmonary hypertension. 8
* over 30 mmHg/10 mm Hg * mitral stenosis * blood backs up into lung * enlargement of right ventricle * ischemia occurs * results right side dheart failure * caused by chronic lung disease * cor pulmonale * right ventricular hypertrophy due to lung problem
31
Hodgkins
primary cancer of lymph nodes
32
lymph gland enlargment
TB or carcinoma
33
Asthma. 4
COPD Characterized by airway inflammation, result form airway hyperactivity, triggered by allergen, anxiety, upper respiratory infections, cigarettes
34
Cor pulmonale. 4
right ventricular hypertrophy, due to pulmonary pathology, chronic condition, involves right side heart failure
35
Thyroid gland hyperfunction
graves disease
36
5 percussive nodes
* resonant * heard over normal lung * dull * heard over organ (liver, spleen, heart, kidney) * hyperresonant * more than resonant heard over hyperinflated lung (emphysema\_ * flat * heard over muscle or bone * tympanic * heard over air in stomach * gastric air bubble
37
sputum green, yellow, brown
bacterial infection
38
Hepatitis. 4
* inflammation of liver * bacterial or chemical agents * viral hepatitis -\> A, B, C * types -\> obstructive, hemolytic, hepatic
39
TB
bacterial infection of lungs
40
sputum mucopurulent (yellowish, scrambled eggs)
emphysema or bronchitis
41
bronchitis
inflammation of bronchi
42
Kaposi sarcoma. 2
occurs in HIV/AIDS pts, black-blue lesion
43
SBE. 2
subacute bacterial endocarditis,inflammation of endocardium around valve or scar tissue
44
Squamous cell carcinoma. 4
less aggressive than melanoma, late blood spread, early lymphatic spread, creates cauliflower lesion
45
Jaundice. 4
* Hep B =\> yellowish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes * excess bilirubin =\> bile pigment in blood
46
**Cholecystitis. 6**
* inflammation of gallbladder * primary symptom of acute cholecystitis * pain in right upper quadrant * radiating through right scapula * murphy's sign =\> acute cholecystitis * tenderness and reflex apnea =\> inspiratory arrest
47
Adrenal gland hypofunction
addison's disease
48
Hypofunction of the thyroid gland
addison's disease
49
Basal cell carcinoma. 3
AKA rodent ulcer, LEAST AGGRESSIVE, Locally malignant
50
Benign lupus
butterfly rash on face only
51
Ascites. 4
1. free fluid in peritoneal cavity 2. bad if from liver 3. can be terminal 4. portal hypertension 1. advanced lever cirrhosis or caput medusa
52
Fallot's tetrology. 5
* cyanotic heart disease * ventricular septal defect =\> hole between ventricles =\>close within 2 years * overriding of aorta on both ventricles =\> right and left blood in aorta * pulmonary stenosis =\> valve not working so blood flows back into right ventricle * right ventricular hypertrophy
53
Koilonychia. 4
aka spoon nail, iron deficiency, anemia, fungus infection
54
signs and symptoms of TB. 6
* chronic cough * lymph node swelling * low grade fever * night fever * night sweats * shivering * hemoptysis * coughing blood * weight loss
55
Heart Sounds. S1-S4
* S1 - sudden closing of mitral (primarily) and tricuspid valves * S2 - sudden closing of pulmonic and aortic valves after passage of blood through great vessels * S3 - diastolic phase relaxation of ventricles after passage gush of blood around 70% from atrium to ventricle * S4 - followed by atrial contraction to squeeze last 30% actively prior to next ventricular contraction
56
Malignant melanoma. 2
most aggressive, early blood spread
57
Hep C. 2
* longer incubation * MOST COMMON
