Iatrogenic disease - ANSWER-An unwanted effect of a prescribed drug.
Manifestations of a disease - ANSWER-Signs and symptoms of a disease.
Prognosis - ANSWER-Predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from a specific
disease.
Systemic sign of disease - ANSWER-Fever.
Etiology - ANSWER-The study of the causes of a disease.
Atrophy - ANSWER-A type of cellular adaptation in which there is a decrease in
cell size.
,Dysplasia - ANSWER-A change in a tissue marked by cells that vary in size and
shape and show increased mitotic figures.
Ischemia - ANSWER-A deficit of oxygen in the cells usually due to respiratory or
circulatory problems.
Necrosis - ANSWER-When a group of cells in the body dies.
Hypertrophy - ANSWER-Rigorous weightlifting/body building regimens may result
in the skeletal muscle cells undergoing.
Cancer - ANSWER-Malignant neoplasm.
Apoptosis - ANSWER-Preprogrammed cell self-destruction.
Cell repair - ANSWER-Damaged cells may be able to repair themselves.
Caseation necrosis - ANSWER-An area where dead cells form a thick cheesy
substance.
Preventive measure - ANSWER-Routine application of sun block to skin would be
an example of.
,Precipitating factor - ANSWER-A circumstance that causes a sudden acute episode
of a chronic disease to occur.
Homeostasis - ANSWER-Maintenance of a stable internal environment.
Complication - ANSWER-A new and secondary or additional problem that arises
after the original disease has been established.
Pathophysiology - ANSWER-Involves the study of functional or structural changes
resulting from disease processes.
Epidemiology - ANSWER-The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution
of diseases.
Cell Injury Causes - ANSWER-Hypoxia, exposure to excessive cold, excessive
pressure on a tissue, and chemical toxins.
Seven Steps to Health - ANSWER-Participate in strenuous exercise on a regular
daily basis.
Disease - ANSWER-A deviation from the normal state of health and function.
Syndrome - ANSWER-A collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more
than one organ or system, that usually occur together in response to a certain
condition.
, Cell Damage - ANSWER-Initially, cell damage does not change cell metabolism,
structure, or function.
Double Blind Studies - ANSWER-Neither the members of the control group or the
experimental group nor the person administering the treatment knows who is
receiving the experimental therapy.
Evidence-Based Research - ANSWER-If the data collected from the research
process confirm that the new treatment has increased effectiveness and is safe.
Acute Illness - ANSWER-A short-term illness that develops very quickly with
perhaps a high fever or severe pain.
Ischemia Damage - ANSWER-When prolonged ischemia occurs to an area of the
heart, the resulting damage is referred to as infarction.
Double Blind Study Stage - ANSWER-A double blind study may be conducted
during the third stage.
Predisposing Factors - ANSWER-Important to health professionals to develop
preventive measures.
Exogenous Cell Damage - ANSWER-Caused by certain food additives.
