    Study Notes

    Chapter 01: Introduction to Pathophysiology

    • Iatrogenic Disease: An unwanted effect of a prescribed drug is the most likely cause of an iatrogenic disease.
    • Disease Manifestations: Signs and symptoms of a disease.
    • Prognosis: The predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from a disease.
    • Systemic Sign of Disease: Fever is a systemic sign of disease.
    • Etiology: The study of the causes of a disease.
    • Cellular Adaptation - Atrophy: A decrease in cell size.
    • Cellular Adaptation - Dysplasia: A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in size and shape, and show increased mitotic figures.
    • Ischemia: A deficit of oxygen in the cells, usually due to respiratory or circulatory problems.
    • Necrosis: The death of a group of cells.
    • Hypertrophy: An increase in cell size.
    • Malignant Neoplasm: Cancer.
    • Apoptosis: Preprogrammed cell self-destruction.
    • Homeostasis: The maintenance of a stable internal environment.
    • Complication: A secondary problem that arises after the original disease is established.
    • Pathophysiology: The study of functional or structural changes resulting from disease processes.
    • Epidemiology: The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of diseases.
    • Causes of Cell Injury/Death: Hypoxia, exposure to excessive cold, excessive pressure, and chemical toxins.
    • Seven Steps to Health (Except): Participating in strenuous exercise daily is not part of the Seven Steps to Health.
    • Disease: A deviation from the normal state of health and function.
    • Syndrome: A collection of signs and symptoms that usually occur together in response to a certain condition.
    • Cell Damage: Initial cell damage alters metabolic reactions. If the damaging factor is removed quickly, the cell often recovers. If the factor is prolonged, damage becomes irreversible and the cell dies.
    • Double-Blind Studies: Neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the experimental therapy or placebo.
    • Prognosis (Again): The expected outcome or the course of a disease.
    • Acute Illness: A short-term illness that develops rapidly, often with high fever or severe pain.
    • Pandemic: An infectious disease that affects a large number of people over wide regions of the globe.
    • Necrosis (Types): Coagulative necrosis involves the alteration/denaturation of cell proteins.
