Study Notes
Hereditary Diseases
- Hereditary diseases can be classified based on: single gene abnormalities, abnormalities of multiple genes, chromosome abnormalities (including absence or excess of chromosomes).
- All classifications are covered under hereditary diseases.
Congenital Definitions
- "Congenital" refers to conditions that are "born with."
Congenital Diseases
- Examples of congenital diseases include cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
Trauma Classifications
- Trauma can be classified into various types: motor vehicle accidents, falls, burns, covering all categories under trauma.
Triage in Healthcare
- Triage involves prioritizing care for patients based on severity; for example, a patient experiencing crushing, radiating chest pain receives immediate attention.
Signs of Inflammation
- Key signs of inflammation are redness, warmth, and pain, all indicative of an inflammatory response.
Enteral Nutrition
- Nutrition administered via the enteral route includes methods such as gastrostomy, which involves feeding directly into the stomach.
Cachexia
- Cachexia describes a state of being ill and excessively thin, often associated with underlying health conditions.
Healthy Lifestyle Guidelines
- Key elements of a healthy lifestyle exclude excessive alcohol consumption, emphasizing moderation and balance.
Aging Factors
- The aging process is influenced by multiple factors including lifestyle choices, heredity, and stress, all contributing to overall health.
Brain Death Criteria
- Criteria for determining brain death include the absence of response to stimuli, crucial for medical and legal decisions.
Neoplasm Examples
- Neoplasms encompass a variety of tumors including adenomas, lipomas, and melanomas, covering both benign and malignant categories.
Malignant Neoplasms
- Among the listed neoplasms, lipoma is identified as benign, not malignant, distinguishing it from more aggressive tumor types.
Impact of Obesity
