UNIT 8 CH 34 – STI Neisseria Gonorrhea Patho o Gram neg diplococcus N. Gonorrhea o Attach and penetrate columnar epithelium o Can occur/spread through lymphatic system Etiology o Contact w/ mucous membranes of infected person o Females🡪 found in cervix, urethra, skene, Bartholin glands o Skene gland🡪 causes scarring in urethra, oviducts, epididymis DX o Urine culture, discharge sample CM o Discharge, dysuria (inflammatory response in columnar epithelium), infertility o Females🡪 asymptomatic, but may have ↑ o Males🡪 urethritis, redness, swelling Nongonococcal C. trachomatis/Chlamydia Patho o C. trachomatis act on columnar epithelium similar to gonorrhea DX o Screening for sexually active patients CM o s/s less severe than gonorrhea Syphilis Patho o Systemic infection of vascular system o Changes in vascular system o Inflammatory response causes infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells o Terminal arterioles and small arteries are obliterated and no longer functional o Long term inflammation results in fibrous thickening in blood vessels🡪 eventually tissue necrosis Etiology o Caused by Treponema pallidum o Penetrates intact mucous membranes during sex o Pathogens migrate to regional lymph nodes w/in hours o During incubation🡪 T. pallidum is disseminated throughout body and can invade/multiply in any organ system DX o Serologic screening, rapid plasma test CM o Incubation 10-90 days o Primary🡪 painless chancre ▪ Untreated resolves 3-6 weeks o Secondary🡪 untreated chancres resolve, followed by cutaneous rash, flu-like s/s ▪ Spreads throughout bloodstream and lymphatic system o Latent🡪 no s/s present, early latent = contagious, lasts up to 40 yrs o Tertiary🡪 cardiovascular and nervous systems at risk ▪ Aortic necrosis and aortic insufficiency ▪ Damage to CNS🡪 paresis, blindness, mental deterioration Genital Herpes Patho o Virus in ganglion neurons Etiology o Self-limiting infection o Virus stored in ganglion neurons🡪 stress triggers reactivation DX o Cell culture CM o Fluid filled vesicles after 3-7 day

heart muscle fibers, capacity, stroke volume, baroreceptor sensitivity Tissue calcifies, venous stasis occurs due to vascular fragility Respiratory ↓ cough reflex, elasticity Enlarged alveoli🡪 ↓ alveolar fx and service area Costal cartilage calcifies🡪 ↓ capacity Renal/Urinary ↓ glomerular filtration, ability to concentrate urine, excretion of hydrogen ions Fx nephrons ↓, less renal reserve o more susceptible to fluid/electrolyte imbalances and renal damage o very susceptible to kidney damage, drug toxicity o run BUN and creatinine labs during drug therapy ↓ sphincter tone and bladder capacity o Causes residual volume and difficulty starting urinary stream Nocturia GI ↓ contraction strength, peristalsis, enzyme secretion, ability to maintain mucosal integrity, absorption of lipids, aa, glucose, calcium, iron Neuro Atrophy and degeneration of nerves and neurons ↓ neurotransmitters, nerve impulse conduction, reaction time (myelin sheath ↓) Brain atrophy and ↓ in brain weight Hearing Ankylosis of ossicles🡪 ↓ sound to inner ear Hair cells deteriorate🡪 ↓ pitch discrimination (can’t hear high tones) Musculoskeletal ↓ mass, ↓ estrogen leads to osteoporosis, risk for fractures, unsteady gait Intervertebral cartilage disks dehydrate and ↓ height ↑ joint degeneration Immune ↓ inflammatory response Integumentary ↓ subq fat, elasticity, temp regulation, circulation, vascularity (↑ vascular fragility) CH 6 – CONCEPTS OF GENETICS Phenotypes- physical traits Genotypes- genetic makeup Chromosomes- 23 pairs o 22 homologous autosomes o 1 pair sex hormones Mitosis- one cell into 2 cells Meiosis- cell division results in haploid germ cells; ½ the normal # of chromosomes Crossing over- in meiosis, homologous chromosomes form a pair and exchange sections of DNA Alleles- 2 alleles for each gene o 2 different = heterozygous (Aa) = dominant gene ▪ carriers of recessive o Both alleles are recessive = homozygous o Codominant- not clearly dominant or recessive (blood types) Polygenic- heritable traits, affected by environmental factors o Multifactorial- height, weight, BP, heart disease, asthma, DM, cancer Mutagens- mutations occur by exposure to radiation, chemicals, viruses GENETIC ASSESSMENT PRENATAL DX AND COUNSELING Maternal age >35 Chromosomal disorder in previous pregnancy Known family hx of x-linked or inborn errors of metabolism Known carrier of recessive genetic disorder GENETIC AND CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS Aneuploidy- abnormal number of chromosomes caused by nondisjunction Nondisjunction- chromosomes fail to separate normally o Trisomy 21 Duplication- extra copies Polysomy- too many Monosomy- not enough Translocation- abnormal gametes AUTOSOMAL Trisomy 21 o Extra copies of 21 o RF🡪 AMA Trisomy 18 (Edwards) and Trisomy 13 (patau) o Less common than trisomy 21 o Most pregnancies lost before term, infants don’t survive long Cri du Chat o Deletion of part of short arm chromosome 5 o Severe mental retardation, round face, congenital heart abnormalities o Laryngeal malformation causing cat-like cry o Some live to adulthood, thrive better than those w/ trisomies SEX CHROMOSOME DISORDERS Klinefelter Syndrome o Male has extra copies of X chromosome o Dx in puberty o Low testosterone, hypogonadism, infertility o Feminine hair distribution, gynecomastia o Tall stature, long arms and legs Turner’s o Monosomy X (paternal) o Only one normal X, no Y o Female phenotype o Ovaries fail to develop, short stature, webbed neck, wide chest Multiple X Females, Double Y Males o Extra X in females o Extra Y in males o Appear normal, few physical probs Mendelian Single Gene Disorder o Mutations in single genes AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT DISORDERS Males and females equally affected Affected person usually has affected parent Offspring of one affected parent have 50% chance of inheriting disease Marfan Syndrome o Disorder of connective tissues o Tall, slender, long/thin arms and legs🡪 spider fingers o Cardiovascular lesions *most life threatening* o Dysfunction of heart valves Huntington Disease o Affects neuro fx o Mental deterioration and involuntary arms/legs movements o Appears >40 yo o Degeneration of nerve cells AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE DISORDERS Both alleles are mutated Associated w/ consanguinity (mating of related individuals) 2 carriers = 25% of affected offspring and 50% chance of offspring who carries disease Albinism o Lack of pigmentation o Disruption of melanin synthesis o Risk for sunburn and skin cancer PKU o Unable to metabolize phenylalanine o Overly irritable, phenyl ketones in urine, infants have musty odor o Cannot bf baby w/ PKU bc bm contains phenylalanine o Managed w/ low-phenylalanine diet ▪ Very early tx to prevent mental retardation Cystic Fibrosis o Defect in chloride ions being transported o Lung bronchioles and pancreatic ducts affected ▪ Causes thick secretions, coughing o Newborn screening for early management SEX-LINKED DISORDER Hemophilia A o Bleeding disorder🡪 factor VIII (necessary for clotting) o Mom is carrier, expressed only by males NON-MENDELIAN SINGLE GENE DISORDERS o Triplet repeat mutations🡪 Fragile X o Mitochondrial DNA mutations o Genomic imprinting Triple Repeat Mutations o Fragile X o Long repeating sequence of 3 nucleotides on X chromosome o More than 200 to >2000 (normal is 29) o Mental retardation o Males more severely affected Mitochondrial Gene
