QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔vagal nerve stimulation - ✔✔Treatment for depression that places a small implant
that sends electrical signals to the vagus nerve
✔✔what types of people are at risk for chronic renal failure? - ✔✔
✔✔What causes polyuria during the stage of renal insufficiency? - ✔✔loss of tubule
function
✔✔hirsutism - ✔✔excessive hair growth
✔✔enuresis - ✔✔involuntary urniation
✔✔stress urinary incontinence - ✔✔involuntary discharge of urine during coughing,
straining, or sudden movements
✔✔normal micturition - ✔✔pee
✔✔overflow incontinence - ✔✔involuntary loss of urine associated with overdistention
and overflow of the bladder
✔✔Marfan Syndrome - ✔✔affects connective tissue; tall and thin with long arms, legs,
fingers, and toes
✔✔diabetes insipidus - ✔✔antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or the
kidney is resistant to its effect
-dilute urine, hypernatremia, polyuria, nocturia
✔✔What are some different things that will trigger high blood sugar? - ✔✔pain ->stress-
> increased blood sugar, diet
✔✔polycystic kidney - ✔✔clusters of cysts develop in kidneys cause enlarged kidney
and lose functions over time.
✔✔horseshoe kidney - ✔✔the two kidneys are joined together across the mid line of the
body at the lower ends
✔✔hypoplasia - ✔✔underdevelopment or incomplete development of tissue or organ
✔✔H.pylori - ✔✔causes chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. peptic ulcer disease
, ✔✔oral candidiasis - ✔✔a white deposit on the tongue which is EASILY scraped away,
usually seen in immunocompromised patients
✔✔How do kidney tubules maintain normal ph in body fluids when a person has a
fever? - ✔✔secrete more acids and reabsorb more bicarbonate ions
✔✔How to treat C. diff without medicine? - ✔✔fecal transplant
✔✔How does SIADH cause hyponatremia? - ✔✔If water intake exceeds the reduced
urine output, the ensuing water retention leads to the development of hyponatremia
✔✔What increases glomerular filtration in the body? - ✔✔increased blood volume and
increased blood pressure
✔✔What causes Cushing's syndrome? - ✔✔medication or tumors
✔✔Pseudomembranous colitis - ✔✔swelling or inflammation of large intestine due to C.
diff, causes diarrhea after antibacterial use
✔✔feedback loop of parathyroid - ✔✔PTH increases calcium in blood, calcitonin
decreases blood calcium if it is too high
✔✔acute renal colic - ✔✔pain from obstructed ureter by kidney stone
✔✔Syphilis - ✔✔Treponema pallidum spirochete bacteria, causes mental deterioration
and blindness
✔✔Know the different risk for hepatocellular carcinoma - ✔✔It's also higher if the liver is
scarred by infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Hepatocellular carcinoma is more
common in people who drink large amounts of alcohol and who have an accumulation
of fat in the liver
✔✔What hormone is released by anterior pituitary gland? - ✔✔The anterior pituitary
produces seven hormones. These are the growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating
hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), beta-endorphin, and prolactin.
✔✔What is vagal nerve stimulation? - ✔✔prevent seizures by sending regular, mild
pulses of electrical energy to the brain via the vagus nerve.
✔✔What type of people is at risk for chronic renal failure? - ✔✔being African-American
descent, older age, low birth weight and family history of kidney disease
