Study Notes

Adenine and Energy

Adenine, attached to Ribose, forms Adenosine
Adenosine with 1 Phosphate group is Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP)
Adenosine with 2 Phosphate groups is Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
Adenosine with 3 Phosphate groups is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
ATP has a high-energy bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups, which releases energy when broken
Energy from ATP can be used for:
- Creating new bonds and molecules
- Mechanical energy (transporting substances, moving muscle proteins)
- Electrical energy (nerve cells passing electrical impulses)
- Heat energy

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a pyramid showing the order of needs fulfillment
Lower levels of needs must be met before addressing higher levels
The hierarchy consists of:
- Physiological needs (air, water, food, sleep)
- Safety needs (security, protection from harm)
- Love and belonging needs (socializing, forming friendships)
- Esteem needs (respect, self-esteem)
- Self-actualization needs (creativity, intimacy, self-acceptance)
Healthcare professionals prioritize patient needs according to this hierarchy

Cancer and Biopsy

Cancer cells can metastasize to other organs and tissues
Stages of cancer are:
- Stage 0: Carcinoma In Situ (early form)
- Stage I: Localized
- Stage II: Early Locally Advanced
- Stage III: Late Locally Advanced
- Stage IV: Metastasized
A Needle Biopsy is used to examine suspicious cells
Cells can be classified as normal, low-grade dysplasia, moderate-grade dysplasia, or high-grade dysplasia

Psychiatric Disorders and Neurotransmitters

Psychiatric disorders are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain
Neurotransmitters are chemicals used by neurons for communication
Different neurotransmitters produce different effects
Examples of disorders:
- Schizophrenia (excess adrenaline in Cerebral Cortex)
- Depression (deficit of serotonin in Amygdala)
- ADD (deficit of Adrenaline in RAS)

Disease Terminology

Iatrogenic: disease caused by adverse effects of treatment
Communicable disease: transmitted from one person to another
Epidemic: many people acquiring a certain disease at the same time
Pandemic: infectious disease spread over a large region
Nosocomial infections: caused by hospitalization or acquired at clinical institutions
Sign: objective evidence of disease (can be observed by others)
Symptom: subjective evidence of disease (reported by the patient)
