Test 2 Flashcards
humoral imune response vs. cell mediated response
Humoral: comprised of B cells, plasma cells are produced and secrete antigen-specific antibodies, memory cells
Cell-Mediated: comprised of a variety of T cells, Th (Helper T)
categories of insulin
- Rapid acting: lispro, aspart (w/i 10-15 min)
- Short acting: regular (w/i 30 min)
- Intermediate acting: NPH
- Premixed insulins: 70% NPH/30% regular
- 70% NPL/30% regular
- 50% NPL/50% regular
- Long acting: glargine, determir
S/S:
- normal or elevated BS at bedtime
- decreased BS at 2-3 am to hypoglycemic levels
- increased BS in AM caused by production of counter-regulatory hormones
Somogyi effect
somogyi effect treatment
decrease evening dose of intermediate-acting insulin or increase bedtime snack
S/S:
- relatively normal BS until about 3-4 AM, then glucose levels begin to rise
- nocturnal surge of growth hormone
dawn phenomenon
treatment of dawn phenomenon
change time of evening intermediate-acting insulin from dinnertime to bedtime
how to differentiate somogyi effect from dawn phenomenon
measure BS at 3am, if rising BS levels, then dawn phenomenon, if decreased BS: Somogyi
agent: Paramyxovirus
incubation: 14-21 days
communicable: immediately before and after parotid gland swelling
source: saliva of infected persons, possible urine
transmission: direct contact with droplet
assessment: jaw or ear pain, parotid glandular swelling, may cause orchitis and encephalitis
precautions: droplet
Mumps
type of hypersensitivity response:
immediate: IgE mediated
ex: rhinitis/anaphylaxis
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
type of hypersensitivity response:
cytotoxic: antibody-mediated
- ex: transfusion reaction
Type 2 hypersensitivity reaction
type of hypersensitivity response:
mediated: Immune complex
- ex: Rheumatoid arthritis
Type 3 hypersensitivity reaction
type of hypersensitivity response:
delayed: t-cell mediated
- ex: poison ivy, PPD
Type 4 hypersensitivity reaction
phase 1 type hypersensitivity reactions (2)
Initial or early response:
- 5-30 minutes
- vasodilation, vascular leakage and smooth muscle spasm
Secondary response:
- 2-8 hours after exposure
- swelling of mucosal tissues, mucous production, leukocyte infiltration and bronchospasm
- Reaction of humoral response system
- Occurs within 15-30 minutes of exposure
- Examples: Transfusion reactions, drug reactions, myasthenia gravis, thyroiditis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Type II Hypersensitivity
- AKA tissue specific reactions
- IgG or IgM antibodies bind with cells or tissue specific antigens
- cell/tissue destruction
- Activation of compliment: cell lysis, phagocytosis
- Antibody mediated: target
Type II- antibody mediated cytotoxic disorders
- antibody binding to surgace antigens on cell
- C 5-9 complex with the antibody to form membrane attack complex
- resulting in cell lysis
- example: ABO blood type incompatibility
activation of complement cell lysis
- antibody binding to surgace antigens on cell
- tissue macrophages bind to the cell surface by opsonization
- cell is destroyed by?
activation compliment phagocytosis
-antigens on the cell surface bind with antibodies
-natural killer T cells bind with the antibodies and kill the cell
-
antibody mediated cell lysis
In ________ clinical manifestations are dependent upon the specific tissue?
type II disorders
- reaction of the humoral response system
- failure to remove antigen-antibody complexes from the circulation and tissues
- longer response time
- Examples: glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid arthritis
type III hypersensitivity
- circulating antigens
- formation of insoluble antigen-antibody (A-A) complexes
- A-A deposition in vessel walls and tissues–>compliment activation
- Acute inflammation
- tissue damage
type III immune complex disorders
_______ & _______ can cause type III reactions along with IV, drugs, foods, and some insect bites
viruses and bacteria
serum sickness
- serum acts as foreign body or antigen
- symptoms of serum sickness include: rash, lymphadenopathy, arthralgia
- symptoms develop 7 days post exposure
- delayed hypersensitivity
- cell-mediated response
- tissue is damaged as a result of a delayed T-cell reaction to an antigen
- normally occurs within 1-14 days after exposure
- ex: contact dermatitis from latex allergy, tuberculin reactions, transplant rejections
type IV hypersensitivity
