Q

During hemostasis, what is the fibrin clot?

A

A stable matrix of fibrinogen that serves as a structure for other cells during the wound healing process (platelets are reabsorbed into bloodstream)

Q

What cells are present during the inflammation stage?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Mast cells (histamine)
  • Neutrophils – “fight infection”
  • Macrophages – converted from monoctyes; perform phagocytosis
  • Lymphoctyes
17
Q

What happens during the repair stage?

Study These Flashcards
A

Granulation
Wound Contraction (around day 4)
Epithelialization

18
Q

When does the remodeling stage occur?

Study These Flashcards
A

Day 8 through 1 year

19
Q

Identify the positive or negative LOCAL factors that affect healing

Study These Flashcards
A 
	pH (incontinence  potential acidity)
	Local ischemia
	Moisture
	Repeated trauma
	Infection
20
Q

Identify SYSTEMIC factors that affect healing

Study These Flashcards
A

 Age
 Comorbidities
 Medications
• Steroids, anticoagulants, immunosuppression
 Blood flow (perfusion & oxygenation)  bad for smokers!
 Infection
 Nutrition – need protein, vitamin C (critical for collagen cross-linkage & tensile strength), zinc, and iron
 Stress

21
Q

Describe the following anatomy of the normal artery: trilaminar structures, tunica intima, media and adventitia

Study These Flashcards
A

o Tri-laminar structures
o Tunica intima – endothelial cells, which maintain blood in liquid state
o Tunica media – contribute to structural integrity
o Tunica adventitia – outermost layer, which contains collagen fibrils that contribute to the strength of an artery

22
Q

Discuss the physiology of large, medium and small arteries

Study These Flashcards
A

This is an objective, but no relevant answer persists in the slideshow

23
Q

Discuss the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis

Study These Flashcards
A

o Proliferative disease affecting cells that make up the intima
o Associated with LDLs and thrombi
o Occurs in large/midsize arteries at certain points in the arterial tree
o Now thought of as a series of progressive acute events
o Smooth muscle proliferation

24
Q

What are the risk factors for PAD?

Study These Flashcards
A 
o	Cigarette smoking
o	DM
o	Hypertension
o	Hypercholesterolemia
o	Hyperhomocysteinemia
o	Chronic kidney disease
o	Insulin resistance
o	C-reactive protein
o	More prevalent in men than in women
25
Intermittent claudication is the cardinal sign of what?
PAD
26
A patient with critical leg ischemia will tell you what during Hx?
- Leg pain worsens with elevation - Paresthesia - Sleeps with legs over the side of the bed
27
How do you document pulse?
``` 0 = absent 1+ = faint 2+ = diminished 3+ = normal 4+ = bounding ```
28
An ABI below what number is indicative of MODERATE arterial disease?
0.8
29
Where do venous skin ulcers most commonly occur?
- malleolar area
30
What are some useful imaging techniques for PAD?
o Bilateral Lower Extremity Duplex Ultrasound | o MRI Angiography
31
What is the #1 suggestion for management of PAD?
Stop smoking, you asshole
32
Define DM Type 1 and 2
o Type I = typically juvenile onset; you do not produce insulin thus you HAVE to take insulin o Type II = insulin-resistance à you MAKE insulin but you’re body doesn’t use it. NOT due to a lack of insulin
33
What are some prevention strategies for Typed 2 diabetes?
``` Physical activity Nutrition/ Diet Weight Management Control Stress AVOID USING TOBACCO (causes insulin resistance) ```
34
5 most common meds for DM
```  Biguanides (Metformin)  Insulin secretagogues  Thiazolidinediones  DPPIV inhibitors  α-Glucosidase inhibitors ```
35
For diagnosis of diabetes, a fasting glucose level has to be ...
≥ 7.0 mM (126 mg/dL)
36
Describe complications of DM including: nephropathy, retinopathy & neuropathy
o Nephropathy - Renal dysfunction/renal failure o Retinopathy - Impaired/absent vision o Neuropathy - Impaired/absent sensation
37
Outline factors leading to the development of diabetic/neuropathic ulcers
o Poor sensation/neuropathy | o Poor wound healing
38
Discuss how exercise impacts insulin action/blood glucose concentrations
o Increases insulin sensitivity | o Stimulates glucose uptake in skeletal muscle
39
Discuss the interplay of mood/mental health and diabetic incidence and outcomes
``` Mood spectrum disorders are associated with serious endocrine/metabolic co-morbidities such as  Bipolar disorder  Schizophrenia  Depression  PTSD  Anxiety ```
