Applied Pathophysiology with correct answers A+ score guaranteed. What is the difference between pathophysiology and pathology? - correct answers.Pathophysiology: the study of the functional bodily changes that occur as a result of an injury, disorder, or disease (the mechanisms of disease) Pathology: the study of changes in cells and tissues as a result of injury or disease (studying a disease) What is a syndrome? - correct answers.a specific condition with a recognizable, predictable pattern Define pathogenesis. - correct disease beginning; when the disease process begins until symptom onset (chemically, genetically, any mechanisms up until when the disease is recognized) Think: Pathogenesis and disease Process begin with a "P" What does nosocomial mean? iatrogenic? - correct tal acquired infection (contracting COVID in the hospital); infection as a result of treatment (e.g. urinary catheter infection) what is the time when a disease is active and flaring? - correct rbation what is a prodrome? - correct period in the lifespan of an infectious disease where it's unclear what the disease is, given the symptoms (patient presents symptoms of achiness and lethargy; nonspecific) What is etiology? What is it termed when the cause of disease is unknown? - correct precise cause of disease; idiopathic What is the difference between risk factors and precipitating factors? - correct answers.Risk factors: vulnerabilities (elevated BP increasing risk for heart attack) Precipitating factors: triggers that promote the onset of clinical manifestations (dust triggering asthma) What is the difference between objective and subjective clinical manifestations? - correct tive: seen and measured by practitioner (signs) subjective: not directly observable by practitioner (symptoms) What is the difference between acute and chronic? - correct : begin abruptly and last a few days to few months chronic: gradual (insidious) onset and lasting longer than 6 months what is the difference between diagnosis and prognosis? - correct osis is a label (colon cancer) while prognosis is a prediction of how the individual will proceed through the disease (predicting patient will live 15 more years) What is the difference between morbidity and mortality? - correct dity: negative outcome with disease complications that impact the quality of life mortality: death What are the advantages of studying epidemiology? - correct , who, why, how 1. recognizing where disease is most widespread 2. recognizing who's most affected by the disease 3. discovering why disease is presenting in a certain population 4. discovering how to reduce spread or eradicate disease What is the difference between incidence and prevalence? - correct answers.Incidence: the rate of occurrence of a disease at any given time (what is the probability of someone DEVELOPING a disease?) Prevalence: the number of people that is affected by a disease at a specific time (what are the current DEMOGRAPHICS of a disease?) think: INcidence = 1 IN 1000 What is the difference between endemic, epidemic, and pandemic? - correct ic: the incidence and prevalence of a disease are predictable and stable epidemic: a dramatic increase in disease incidence pandemic: when an epidemic spreads across continents What are potential causes of atrophy? Hypertrophy? Hyperplasia? - correct answers.Atrophy: decrease in functional demand of a cell, lack of muscle movement, ischemia (decreased oxygen supply to cell), removal of hormonal or neural signals contributing to cell growth or muscle use hypertrophy and hyperplasia: increase in growth/trophic signals, increased demand/exercise, increase in demand of lymph tissue filtering (adenoid hypertrophy)
