MSN570 SCRIPT 2026 FULL CORRECT
ANSWER SET
◉Anemia of Chronic Disease/Inflammation (ACD). Answer: The
second most common anemia, after iron deficiency anemia. The
anemia is caused by many different chronic diseases or
inflammation (e.g., cancer, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart
failure, and infections).
◉Aplastic Anemia. Answer: A rare but serious type of anemia that is
a result of the bone marrow failing to produce multipotent
hematopoietic stem cell precursors. This leads to a lack of
erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets, which is referred to as
pancytopenia.
◉B12. Answer: Requisite for RBC production. Low levels: deficiency.
High levels: liver disease; myeloproliferative disorders.
◉Basophil. Answer: Granulocyte, polymorphonuclear. Description:
Slightly smaller than neutrophil; contains large, purple cytoplasmic
granules; bilobed nucleus
Concentration (number of cells/mm): 20-50
, Life span: A few hours to a few days
Function: Releases histamine during inflammation.
◉Blood. Answer: Both a viscous fluid and a connective tissue. It
accomplishes its functions through its various components—the
plasma (liquid protein), leukocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes
(red blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets).
◉Burkitt Lymphoma. Answer: Type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Origin: B lymphocytes. Most linked to EBV.
Epidemiology, U.S.: 40%; More common in males; Age 5-10 years;
peak 4-6 years
Common clinical presentation: Abdominal mass, pain, nausea,
vomiting, & change in bowel patterns. Rapid growing head and neck
lymphadenopathy
Special notes: One of the most aggressive fast-growing cancers.
Cases in Africa account for almost all NHL. Over 50% of childhood
cancers develop in the jaw or other facial bones.
◉Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). Answer: Complex,
acquired disorder in which clotting and hemorrhage simultaneously
occur
