Study Notes
Cardiovascular Conditions
- Arteriosclerosis: Hardening and thickening of artery walls, reducing blood flow.
- Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Blocked blood flow in coronary arteries.
- Cystic Fibrosis: Genetic disorder causing thick mucus blocking lungs and digestive organs.
- Pneumonia: Infection inflaming lung air sacs, often filled with fluid.
- Tuberculosis: Bacterial lung infection, causing coughing and fever.
- Asthma: Condition causing narrowing of airways, leading to breathing difficulty.
- COVID-19: Viral respiratory illness caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Digestive Conditions
- Lactose Intolerance: Inability to digest lactose (milk sugar).
- Celiac Disease: Immune reaction to gluten damaging the small intestine.
- Diabetes: Condition with high blood sugar due to insulin issues.
Diagnostic Tests
- Hydrogen Breath Test: Diagnoses digestive issues like lactose intolerance by measuring breath hydrogen.
Neurological Conditions
- Stroke: Sudden loss of brain function due to blood flow blockage or bleeding.
Imaging Techniques
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Imaging technique using magnetic fields to view inside the body.
- Echocardiogram: Ultrasound of the heart to assess its function.
- Pacemaker: Device regulating heart rhythm.
- X-Ray: Imaging using radiation to view bones and organs.
- Concussion: Brain injury from a head blow causing temporary issues
- Pulmonary Function Testing: Measures lung function and capacity.
Medical Procedures
- CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): Emergency procedure to restart heart and breathing.
- Endoscopy: Tool to view inside the body (e.g., digestive tract).
- AED (Automated External Defibrillator): Device used to restart the heart via electric shock.
Neurological Diseases
- Multiple Sclerosis: Immune system attacks nerves, leading to muscle control loss.
