Disease
Aspects of the Disease Process
*Etiology
*Pathogenesis
* Morphologic changes
*Clinical __________
*Diagnosis
*Clinical course
manifestations
Pathophysiology is the study of the body’s response to dysfunction or disease. It’s not just the disease process but its how the body responds to that issue. Ex:tuberculosis
Tuberculosis itself isn’t doing that much to the body but the body has a really hard time getting rid of it and it goes into overdrive and most of the damage you see that occurs because of the tuberculosis is because the body is responding so forcefully and its hitting it with so many antibodies and cytokines and such a strong immune response that it damages the system
We need to not only consider what the disease is but how the body is responding to it and how the body is changing to it (Sometimes you will hear about symptomatic treatment where your treating the side effects maybe the symptoms that may not actually be the root cause of the disease and we want to know what the root cause is and deal with it. Sometimes we have to deal with what the body is doing because its sick so we will lower the fever but that doesn’t change anything makes you feel better maybe but you have a fever for a reason and we got to treat both. It’s not only the disease but it’s the bodies response that we have to look at
Etiologic Factors
*Causes of Disease –
__________(e.g., bacteria, viruses),
Physical forces (e.g., trauma,burns, radiation)
__________ (e.g., poisons, alcohol)
– Nutritional excesses or deficits (ex:anemia)
-Prescriptions or over the counter drugs can cause a problem
Biologic agents, chemical agents
Factors Affecting Adaptation to Stressors
* _______
* _______ status
* Psychosocial resources
* The ______with which the need to
adapt occurs
* The availability of adaptive responses
and the ability of the body to select
the most appropriate response
Age, Health,speed
Factors affecting adaptation to stressors:
_______-Young people have a better immune system and respond to stress better as opposed to an infant or an elderly person.
Health status-Are you generally healthy or does your body have any comorbidities that you have to deal with and overcome
__________ resources-Do you have friends/family you can lean on; are you by yourself; is there anyone you can turn to for help it can make all the difference in a stressful situation
The speed with which the need to adapt occurs (is it an emergency or is it slow; sometimes we can deal with things better if we have a little time to prepare or understand
The availability of adaptive responses and the ability of the body to select the most appropriate response
Age,psychosocial
Factors Derived Using Epidemiologic Methods:
How the disease is ________
How to ________ disease
How to prevent disease
How to eliminate disease
spread, control
How does a disease spread?
Through ___________ or direct contact, airborne disease, vectors, _________ like blood, or sexual contact, blood transmitted or sexually transmitted diseases
physical, bodily fluids
How to control and prevent disease?
Reduce contact by ________, glove, hygiene, personal protective equipment, distancing, __________, vaccinations, medications, education
mask,quarantines
How to eliminate disease?
-___________
-isolation
-quarantine
Medication
_________=designation of the nature or cause of a health problem
Diagnosis
_____=the extent to which an observation, when repeated, gives the same results (If I do the test do I get the same results, Doesn’t say if it’s the right result though)
Reliability
____= will tell you whether its actually correct or not, how valid is that result; the extent to which a measurement tool measures what it is intended to measure
Validity
