Study Notes

Branches of Pathology

  • Specialized Responses: The branch of pathology that examines the responses of specialized organs and tissues to abnormal stimuli is known as general pathology.

Disease Process Studies

  • Etiology: The aspect of the disease process focused on studying the cause of diseases is called etiology. This involves understanding factors that trigger the onset of diseases.

Hospital-Acquired Conditions

  • Nosocomial Diseases: Diseases that develop as a result of being treated in hospitals or other healthcare facilities are referred to as nosocomial infections. These can often be due to improper hygiene practices or unsterilized equipment.

Hereditary Diseases

  • Genetic Disorders: Diseases that are inherited from parents and passed through genes are known as hereditary diseases. These can include conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and certain types of cancer.
