Vitamins, Mineral & General Principal Flashcards
(51 cards)
What electrolytes does the low volume state have?
Increased total Na+ (NET) Decreased serum Na (dilution effect) Decreased serum K+ Increased serum pH
What serum pH does the low volume state have?
Alkalotic (due to H+/K+ exchanger)
What serum pH does emesis have?
Alkalotic because you vomit out HCl-
What serum pH does diarrhea have?
Acidosis because stool has bicarb
What is a possible cause if pulse rises more than 10 bpm in repositioning from lying to sitting?
Hypervolemia
What happened if your pulse drops more than 10 bpm on standing?
Autonomic dysfunction
What are the symptoms of a Low Energy State?
CNS: Mental retardation, dementia CV: heart failure, pericardial effusion Muscle: weakness, SOB, vasodilation, impotence, urinary retention, constipation
What are the Rapidly Dividing Cells of the Energy State?
Skin: dry Nails: Brittle Hair: Alopecia Low Bone Marrow: Suppressed Vasculature: Endothelium breaks down Lungs: Infection / SOB Kidney: PCT effecfted first GI: N/V/D Bladder: Decreased tone Sperm: Decreased Germ Cells: Predisposed to cancer Breasts: Atrophic Endometrium: Amenorrhea
What are the most common signs of the Low Energy State?
Tachypnea and Dyspnea
What are the most common symptoms of the Low Energy State?
Weakness and SOB
What are the most common infections of the Low Energy State?
UTI and respiratory infections
What is the most common cause of death in the Low Energy State?
Heart Failure
Explain Restrictive Lung Disease:
- Restrictive:
- Interstitial problem that causes trouble breathing in (small stiff lungs)
- Most common cause of death is Cor-pulmonale
- Pulmonary Function Test’s:
- FEV1/FVC greater than 0.8
- decrease vital capacity
- ABG:
- decreased pH
- decreased PO2
- decreased PcO2 (increased respiratory rate)
- Chest X-Ray:
- reticulonodular pattern
- ground glass appearance
- Treatment:
- PEEP ventilator
- increased O2
- increased respiratory time
Explain Obstructive Lung Disease:
- Obstructive:
- Airway structure problem that causes trouble breathing out (mucus filled lungs)
- Most common cause of Death is Bronchiectasis
- PFT’s:
- FEV/FVC is less than 0.8
- increased RV
- Reid index increased (thick airway)
- ABD:
- decreased pH
- normal to low PO2
- increased PCO2
- Treatment:
- ventilator to increase respiratory rate and expiratory time
- increase oxygen only if needed
What symptoms does a “more likely to depolarize” state have?
- Brain:
- Psychosis, seizures, jitteriness
- Skeletal Muscle:
- muscle spasms, tetany
- Smooth Muscle:
- diarrhea, then constipation
- Cardiac:
- tachycardia, arrhythmia
What symptoms does a “less likely to depolarize” state have?
- Brain:
- lethargic, mental status changes, depression
- Skeletal Muscle:
- weakness, SOB
- Smooth Muscle:
- constipation then diarrhea
- Cardiac:
- hypotension, bradycardia
What is the humoral immune response?
B-cells and PMN’s patrol the blood looking for bacteria
What is the cell-mediated immune response?
T-cells and Macrophages patrol the tissues looking for non-bacteria
What are the Macrophages called in areas of the body?
- Blood: Monocytes
- Brain: Microglia
- Lung: Type 1 Pneumocytes
- Liver: Kupffer cells
- Spleen: RES cells
- Lymph: Dendritic cells
- Kidney: Mesangial cells
- Peyer’s Patch: M cells
- Skin: Langerhan cells
- Bone: Osteoclast cells
- Connective Tissue: Histiocytes, Giant cells, Epithelioid cells
What is the CBC for every basculitis?
- Decreased: RBC and platelets
- Increased: WBC, T-Cells, Monocytes, Schistocytes, ESR
What is the time course of the inflammatory response?
- 1 hour: swelling
- Day 1: PMN’s show up
- Day 3: PMN’s peak
- Day 4: Monocytes/Macrophages and T-cells show up
- Day 7: Monocytes/ Macrophages and T-cells peak, Fibroblasts arrive
- Day 30: Fibroblasts peak
- Month 3-6: Fibroblasts complete scar formation
What state does Estrogen mimic?
The Neuromuscular disease state Estrogen is a muscle relaxant
What do high GABA levels lead to?
Bradycardia, lethargy, constipation, impotence, memory loss
What determines the prognosis of Cancer?
Depth of invasion, any choice that has to do with depth - the deeper it is= the worse the prognosis
