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.
