49
is the study(logos) of suffering(pathos)
PATHOLOGY
50
It is a discipline that bridges clinical practice and basic
science
PATHOLOGY
51
is scientific study of disease. More specifically, may be defined as the “scientific study of the molecular, cellular, tissue, or organ system in response to injurious agents or adverse influences.”
PATHOLOGY
52
is defined as any disturbance of the structure and/or
function of the body or any of its constituent parts outside the normal range, especially one that produces specific clinical signs.
DISEASE
53
Involves the investigation of the causes (etiology,
disease as well as the underlying mechanisms
(pathogenesis) that result in the presenting signs and
symptoms of the patient.)
Pathologic Study of Disease
54
Characteristics of disease
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Morphology
Clinical Significance
55
This involves the study of pathogens that
cause disease
Etiology
56
the mechanism causing the disease.
This answers the question of why a certain pathogen
causes disease in a certain individual. The sequence
of events in the response of cells or tissues to an
etiological agent, starting from the initial stimulus to
the ultimate expression of disease, without any
treatment.
Pathogenesis
57
the structural features of the disease
Morphology
58
the functional features of the disease
Clinical significance
59
Any indication of disease perceived by the
patient, eg. Pain, nausea, headache, colic, etc… (“mga
nararamdaman ng mga patients”
Symptoms
60
Objective findings noticed by the
doctor on examination of the patient, eg. Murmur of the
heart, swelling of the feet, jaundice, etc… (“mga signs and
syndromes na makikita ng physicians”)
Signs
61
Start of the disease; might be sudden (acute) or
gradual (chronic)
ONSET
62
Prediction of the outcome of the disease; can
be good or bad.
PROGNOSIS
63
Outcome of the disease
FATE
64
New disease conditions which might
occur during or after the usual course of the original
disease. (“From original disease, nadagdagan ng
secondary disease, katulad ng multiple organ failures”)
COMPLICATIONS
65
Refer to the structural alterations in cells or tissues that occur following the pathogenetic mechanisms. (“pagkakaroon ng pagbabago sa size and shape ng tissues natin”)
Morphologic changes
66
The morphologic changes in the organ influence the
normal function of the organ. By doing so, they determine
the clinical features (signs & symptoms), course and
prognosis of the disease. (“Dahil nagkaroon ng morphologic changes, for example lumaki ang thyroid, what will happen? Maeexcite yung sa pagproduce ng hormones leading to increase in oxygen level.”)
Functional derangements and clinical significance
67
Postmortem examination of a human body. It
includes both gross and microscopic examinations
AUTOPSY
68
Removal and pathological examination of
tissues or organ from the living body; e.g. surgical biopsy,
Tru-cut needle biopsy and endoscopic biopsy
BIOPSY
69
Study of individual cells in detail, e.g.
exfoliative cytology (urine, sputum, cervical smear) and
fine-needle aspiration.
CYTOLOGY
70
What is being described?
o End results of genetic, biochemical, and
structural changes in cells and tissues
o Lead to the clinical manifestations (signs &
symptoms)
o Lead to the progression of disease (clinical
course and outcome)
Functional Abnormalities
71
an unhealthy state caused by the effect of
injury
Disease
72
arises rapidly, lasts a short time
ACUTE DISEASE
73
What kind of disease is being described?
o Usually begins slowly
o Has sings & symptoms
o Persists for a long time
o Cannot be cured by medication
Chronic Disease
74
If etiology is unknown the disease is said to be
idiopathic. (“could be genetic, or caused by chemical agents
that we don’t know”)
Idiopathic
75
If the disease is a byproduct of medical diagnosis
or treatment *iatros = for physician. (“Meaning you have
identified the final diagnosis of the patient”)
Iatrogenic

Morbidity
81
What is being described?
* The designation as the nature or cause of a health
problem
* Requires history and physical examination
DIAGNOSIS
82
What is being described?
* A systematic method used to identify unknowns (“start
from scratch, you have to investigate and ask how
and whys”)
* This method is essentially a process of elimination

83
FACTORS OF DIAGNOSIS
Normality
Within Normal Range
Reliability
Validity
Sensitivity
Specificity
84
An important factor when interpreting
diagnostic test results is the determination of whether
they are normal or abnormal
Normality
85
Not always accurate or appropriate factor of diagnosis
Within Normal Range
86
The extent to which an observation is
repeatable
Reliability
87
The extent to which a measurement tool
measures what is intended to measure
Validity
88

who are positive for that disease on a given test or
observation (e.g., Patient is 99% positive for the
disease)
Sensitivity
(“nimemeasure ito kung sino ang totoong may sakit
through positives of the disease”)
89
The proportion of people without the
disease who are negative on a given test or
observation 95% accurate v. 100%
Specificity
(“Nimemeasure naman ito those people without the
disease, yung mga true negative”)
90

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
91

risk factors
PRIMARY PREVENTION
92
o Detect disease early when it is still asymptomatic
o Pap smears
SECONDARY PREVENTION
93
Implement clinical interventions that prevent
further deterioration or reduces the
complication of a disease once it is
diagnosed
TERTIARY PREVENTION
94
Deals with general principle of
disease, covers basic mechanisms of diseases, E.g
inflammation, cancer, ageing, cell injury, healing,

Immunopathology, metabolic diseases, & selected
infectious diseases.
