Study Notes
Noninfectious Diseases
- Not transmitted by pathogens or personal contact.
- Often caused by lifestyle choices or poor hygiene.
Chronic Lung Disease
- Dyspnea: Persistent breathlessness, limiting mobility and sleep.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Encompasses asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
Allergic Reactions
- Hypersensitive response to specific antigens leading to excessive antibody production.
- Worsens over time with increased allergen exposure.
Hay Fever
- Chronic respiratory disorder triggered by pollen during specific flowering seasons.
- Symptoms include sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose; often hereditary.
- Relief can be obtained through antihistamines and injections.
Asthma
- Characterized by wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing spasms.
- Triggers include pollutants, allergens, and stress from exercise.
- Management involves avoiding triggers and using effective medications.
Emphysema
- Gradual destruction of alveoli, reducing lung function.
- Strongly linked to smoking and pollution exposure.
- This disease leads to inadequate oxygen supply and can result in early death.
Bronchitis
- Inflammation of bronchial tubes, causing reduced air passage and mucus production.
- Commonly caused by smoking, pollution, and occupational dust exposure.
Headaches
- Symptoms include sensitivity to light/sound, nausea, and throbbing pain.
- Tension Headache: Resulting from muscle tension in the neck/head.
- Migraine: Localized headaches often linked to blood vessel changes, typically on one side of the head.
- Secondary Headaches: Caused by other conditions like hypertension, allergies, or sinus issues.
Seizures & Epilepsy
- Epilepsy results from abnormal brain activity, leading to altered consciousness or convulsions.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- Physical and emotional symptoms occurring in women prior to menstruation.
- Symptoms include depression, irritability, and abdominal discomfort.
- Treatment includes hormonal therapy, pain management, and dietary changes.
Endometriosis
- Abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
- Symptoms include severe cramping, irregular periods, fatigue, and infertility.
Diabetes
- Caused by insufficient insulin production or ineffective insulin use.
- Symptoms: high blood sugar, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and visual changes.
- Management includes insulin therapy, dietary control, and regular exercise.
Lactose Intolerance
- Inability to produce lactase, resulting in digestive distress after consuming dairy.
- Symptoms: cramping, diarrhea, and nausea; managed through lactose-free diets.
Colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Ulcerative Colitis: Inflammation of the large intestine leading to bloody diarrhea.
- IBS: Characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits due to food or stress.
Peptic Ulcers
- Wounds in stomach or intestinal lining caused by digestive juices or Helicobacter pylori.
- Symptoms include pain that subsides after eating but recurs later; treated with antibiotics.
Arthritis
- Inflammatory condition of joints causing pain and stiffness.
- Osteoarthritis: Progressive joint deterioration; managed with pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Fibromyalgia
- Chronic pain condition often misdiagnosed; includes symptoms like headaches and joint pain.
- Treatment: rest, stress management, and pain medication.
Lupus
- Autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks organs.
- Symptoms include a distinctive butterfly rash, joint pain, and inflammation.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
- Extreme fatigue not linked to activity levels combined with other symptoms like headaches and depression.
- Treatment focuses on nutrition, rest, and support.
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
- Result from repetitive motion, affecting nerves and soft tissue.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Irritation of the median nerve in the wrist, causing pain and numbness in hands.
