Study Notes
- Text is about cell injury, diagnosis of disease, mechanisms of cell injury, and epidemiology
- Diagnosis of disease:
- Clinic history and examining the patient
- Performing diagnostic laboratory tests
- Serum insulin level test, cervical epithelial cells (slide)
- Epidemiological approach for disease identification
- Cell injury and death:
- Normal cells adapt to challenges, but if demands are too great, cells show signs of injury
- Reversible or irreversible injury
- Irreversible cell injury: necrosis, apoptosis
- Mechanisms of cell injury: oxygen deprivation, physical agents, chemical agents, infections, nutritional imbalances, genetic derangements
- Epidemiology:
- Study of disease in populations and distribution in relation to place and time
- Identification of possible causes and modes of acquisition
- Aims: providing aetiological clues, planning preventive measures, provision of adequate medical facilities, population screening
- Cell injury and mechanisms:
- Oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) damage cells
- Lipid peroxidation, oxidative modification of proteins, DNA damage
- Autopsies:
- May be performed for legal or medical purposes
- Information used for clinical audit, education, medical research
- Diagnostic discrepancies revealed in ~30% of cases
- Medicolegal autopsies determine cause of death, collect evidence; performed by state forensic pathologists
- Clinical autopsies gather information from patients who die in hospitals; useful but limited information.
