Patho 6030: Exam 1 (final) Cell Biology, Fluid/Electrolytes,
and Genetics, 6030 Questions With Complete Solutions
iatrogenic disease
a condition that is caused by a medical treatment.
Acidosis
If your patient has decreased respirations, is this respiratory
acidosis or alkalosis?
Osmosis is a movement of water from low to high
Diffusion is a movement of solutes from high to low
What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?
iatrogenic
Name the disease:
someone develops a blood clot after a bowel resection.
iatrogenic
"I have been going through radiation therapy and my skin is
burned on my chest area." What is the term called that caused
this?
ADH
,helps control serum osmolality
ADH
Released by the hypothalamus and regulates osmolality
concentration of solutes
What is osmolality?
7.35-7.45
Normal pH level
Acquired Infections
- Herpes Zoster Oticus (Chicken Pox)
- Mumps
Syphilis.
Note: hospital acquired infections are also termed nosocomial
infections. These terms can be used interchangeably.
Idiopathic
An infection of an "unknown" cause.
Idiopathic
A patient diagnosed with pancreatitis but can not find the cause
has what type of infection?
Idiopathic
A patient with pulmonary fibrosis with a UNKNOWN cause.
,nosocomial
A disease or infection acquired in a hospital or clinical setting.
nosocomial
A hospitalized patient contracts respiratory MRSA. This is also
called an acquired infection.
genetic
inherited disease
Sensitivity, Specificity
In medical diagnosis, test sensitivity is the ability of a test to
correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate),
whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly
identify those without the disease (true negative rate). See
picture
predictive value positive
The probability that a person with a positive test result has the
disease in question. I am 98% positive that my positive strep test
is accurate.
predictive value negative
, The probability that a person with a negative test result does not
have the disease in question. I am 90% positive my
mammogram was an accurate negative (normal) results. There is
a 10% chance I could have an abnormal mammogram.
incidence rate
The number of people contracting a disease during a time
period. E.g. What is the risk of my friend contracting diabetes at
any given time.
prevelance rate
The number of individuals/unit who have disease at any one
time. The total number of cases. E.g. How many cases of
diabetes are there in the United States. That is the prevelance.
Depolarization: The process during the action potential when
sodium is rushing into the cell causing the interior to become
more positive. From negative to positive
This action potential is when the resting negative moves to a
positive.
Repolarization refers to the change in membrane potential that
returns it to a negative value just after the depolarization phase
of an action potential.
This action potential is the relaxation portion changing from a
positive back to a negative value.
