Medical Concepts: Immunity, Shock, Sinus, Fistula, Ulcer, Fluids, Hemorrhage

• Immunity is the body's defense system against infectious diseases, with three types: innate, adaptive, and passive.
• Innate immunity involves barriers that prevent harmful materials from entering the body.
• Adaptive immunity involves specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy foreign invaders and remember them for future immune responses.
• Passive immunity is provided when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through their own immune system.
• Shock is a systemic state of low tissue perfusion, which can lead to cell death, organ damage, multi-system organ failure, and death.
• Inadequate tissue perfusion can result in generalized cellular hypoxia, widespread impairment of cellular metabolism, tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
• Sinus and fistula are abnormal passages in the body, with sinus being a blind ending tract and fistula being an abnormal communication between two epithelium-lined surfaces.
• Sinus and fistula can be congenital or acquired, and their persistence can be caused by foreign bodies, necrotic tissue, epithelialization, malignancy, irradiation, malnutrition, specific causes, ischemia, or drugs.
• Ulcer is a dissolution of the continuity of an epithelium and can be classified into traumatic, vascular, neoplastic, due to malnutrition, inflammatory, or infective ulcers.
• The examination of an ulcer includes assessing its depth, base, discharge, and edge.
• Fluids can be classified into isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic, and can be used to treat fluids imbalances, dehydration, and low blood sugar, among others.
• Hemorrhage is the loss of blood or blood escape from the circulatory system, and can be revealed, concealed, or obvious external hemorrhage within the body. Control methods include pressure and packing, position and rest, operation, angioembolization, and endoscopic control.
