Study Notes
Parkinson's Disease
- Parkinson's Disease (PD) involves dopamine issues affecting muscular neurotransmitter functions.
- Tremors are a manifestation of PD, increasing fall risk.
- PD is linked to concussion due to the risk of falls.
Goodpasture's Syndrome
- Antibodies attack the lung's basement membrane.
- Blood enters the bronchial tree.
Metabolic Syndrome
- Shared risk factors include high LDL, hypertension (HTN), large waist circumference, high blood pressure (BP), high blood glucose (BG) levels, and high triglycerides
- Increased chance of stroke (CVA)
Influenza
- Viral infections such as influenza and vaccines can trigger Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS)
- Besides infections, other triggers can be food poisoning and surgery
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
- GBS is triggered by viral infections (influenza, vaccines), food poisoning, and surgery.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- MS and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) share smoking and sedentary lifestyles as risk factors.
Neuromyelitis Optica
- Antibodies attack optic nerves in the brain and the hypothalamus.
- The hypothalamus produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
- Antibody attack stops ADH production, causing diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes Insipidus
- Neuromyelitis Optica causes antibodies to attack hypothalamus, halting ADH production.
- The result is diabetes insipidus.
Pernicious Anemia
- Anti-intrinsic factor antibodies attack vitamin B12 absorption.
- This poor absorption leads to myelin damage (peripheral neuropathy).
Peripheral Neuropathy
- Pernicious anemia antibodies target B12 absorption, causing myelin damage.
Left-Sided Heart Failure
- Causes blood oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) in the kidneys
- Potential for shortness of breath (SOB) and renal issues.
Right-Sided Heart Failure
- Blood flow to the kidneys reduces.
- Fluid build-up in the abdomen (ascites).
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
- Crowded bone marrow reduces platelet production.
- Nosebleeds (epistaxis) are a result.
Common Cold
- Viral infection causes inflammation and necrosis in throat tissues.
- Bacteria then colonizes the necrotic tissue.
Chronic Bronchitis
- Inflammation of the bronchioles leads to impaired ventilation and perfusion.
- Vessels constrict (pulmonary hypertension), leading to peripheral edema.
