,Acute bacterial conjunctivitis highly contagious; often caused by gram-positive
("pinkeye") bacteria (Staphylococcus, Haemophilus, Proteus);
children ages 6 and under à Haemophilus may lead
to otitis media
a. onset is acute; disease is often self-limiting,
resolving spontaneously in 10-14 day
b. S/S: mucopurulent drainage from one or both
eyes
c. Tx: preventing spread of organism with
handwashing and use of separate towels;
Allergic conjunctivitis associated with a variety of antigens (pollens)
a. S/S: Ocular itching, photophobia, burning/gritty
feel in eye
b. Tx: antihistamines, low-dose corticosteroids, mast
cell stabilizers, and vasoconstrictors.
Areflexic:
,Associational neurons:
Cancer pain can be attributed to disease progression, r/t
treatment, or attributed to a coexisting disease
Central Neuropathic Pain caused by a lesion in or neuroplastic changes in the
brain or spinal column
i.e. brain/spinal cord trauma, tumors, vascular lesions,
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, postherpetic
neuralgia, phantom limb pain
, Characteristics of Alzheimer's Amnesia (loss of memory) (p518), inability to form
concepts and generalizations or to reason (image
processing) (p519), aphasia (difficulty finding words)
(p523), most common cause of dementia (p527).
Leading cause of severe cognitive and behavioral
dysfunction in older adults. 6.2million American, 2/3
are women (p527). Pathophysiology is unknown.
Progresses from mild short-term memory deficits to
total loss of cognition and executive functions. Can
be misdiagnosed easily in the early stage as
forgetfulness or from an emotional cause
· Memory loss increases as progresses. Judgement
and problem solving deteriorate along with loss of
mathematic calculation ability, language, and
visuospatial orientation. Mood changes common.
· Diagnosis by elimination, only made definitive in
autopsy.
