,Etiology - ANS cause & reason behind the disease
Idiopathic - ANS cause is unknown
Iatrogenic - ANS medically induced
-cause results from unintended or unwanted medical treatment
-results from an infection while in hospital
-can be caused by medication
K
Risk factor - ANS A factor that when present increases the likelihood of disease
Pathogenesis - ANS Development or evolution of disease from initial stimulus to ultimate
C
expression of manifesting of disease
Symptoms - ANS subjective feeling of abnormality in the body
LO
Signs - ANS Objective or observed manifestation of disease
Syndrome - ANS a set of signs and symptoms not yet determined to delineate a disease and
occur together
YC
Latent period - ANS time between exposure of tissue to injurious agent and FIRST
appearance of signs/or symptoms
Prodomal period - ANS time during which first signs and/or symptoms appear or onset of
disease occurs
D
Latent period (2) - ANS Also refers to a period during an illness when signs/symptoms
temporarily become mild or silent
U
Subclinical stage - ANS patient functions normally; disease processes are well established.
ST
Acute clinical course - ANS short-lived; may have severe manifestation
Chronic clinical course - ANS may last months to years, sometimes following an acute course
Illness and disease do not? - ANS Always coexist. Illness is the symptomatic and debilitating
stage of a disease.
-Lytic - ANS break down of the clot.
Syphilis - ANS Can occur between latent & prodromal period and between prodromal and
latent period.
, Remission - ANS decrease in severity, signs, or symptoms; may indicate disease is cured.
Exacerbation - ANS increase in severity,signs, or symptoms
Sequela - ANS Subsequent pathologic condition resulting from an acute illness.
EX: placing a cast on someone then removing it and results in joint stiffness
Statistical normality - ANS estimate of diseases in a normal population, based on bell shape
curve
K
Reliability - ANS Test's ability to give the same results in repeated measurements
C
Validity - ANS degree to which a measurement reflects the true value of what it intends to
measure
LO
Predictive value - ANS -Extent to which a test can differentiate between presence or absence
of a persons condition.
-A test.
Sensitivity - ANS probability that a test will be positive when applied to a person with a
YC
particular condition.
-A true positive
Specificity - ANS Probability that a test will be negative when applied to a person without a
particular condition
-A true negative
D
Gender differences - ANS relevant in both in health and disease
EX: hemoglobin, sex & growth hormones
U
Situational differences - ANS determine whether a derivation from normal should be
considered abnormal or an adaptation mechanism.
ST
EX: RBC's count increases when a person moves to a high altitude.
Time variations - ANS may impact how the body responds from day to night or at varying
times.
EX: hormones & body temp are higher in the AM
Growth hormones released while sleeping
Epidemiology - ANS study of the patterns of disease involving populations
Endemic disease - ANS native to a local region
