Thrombocytopenia
Give this one a try later!
a condition in which there is an abnormally small number of platelets
circulating in the blood
-less than 100,000, normal is 150-450K.
-excessive pooling of platelets in spleen, reduced lifespan of platelets
caused by immune or non immune mechanisms, risk-radiation, chemo, HIV
-symptoms: petechiae, easy bruising
-treatment: platelet transfusions, corticosteroids, splenectomy
Type 3 hypersensitivity reaction
Give this one a try later!
Immune antigen/antibody complex, can be systemic or local
(SLE, RA)
Protozoa
Give this one a try later!
, parasite causes WNV, malaria
aplastic anemia
Give this one a try later!
failure of blood cell production in the bone marrow, destruction of all cell
lines
-etiology: radiation, chemicals, toxins that suppress hematopoiesis, but
most causes unknown
-symptoms: bleeding, bruising-ecchymosis, petechiae, increased infections
-treatment: bone marrow transplant, treat the cause
Labs to diagnose infection
Give this one a try later!
-CBC: bacterial infection, kind of cells, number of cells
-Urinalysis: presence of WBC or others, appearance, content,
concentration
-blood (serology): titer-presence of antibodies against a specific pathogen,
tentative dx
-other specimen cultures-blood, wounds, urine, etc. determine presence
and type of specific pathogen, what type of treatment
Dysplasia
Give this one a try later!
, abnormal development or growth of cells, tissues, or organs
Stages of Alzheimer's
Give this one a try later!
-Early: short term memory loss, denial, mild personality, random detail
forgetfulness (2-4 yrs)
-Moderate: broader cognitive and higher cortical impairment, language
deficit, struggle with spatial relationships and problem solving, depression,
mostly unable to care for selves (2-10 yrs)
-Severe: loss of ability to respond to environment, need total care,
bedridden, death (1-3 yrs)
Tonic seizure
Give this one a try later!
-Stiffening & extension of limbs
-(less commonly) flexion/upper and extension/lower
