Where does cancer originate from in leukemia?
bone marrow
CD4 cells
Helper T cells that mature in thymus that active B cells to create immunity
Hodgkin's lymphoma
distinguished from other lymphomas by the presence of large, cancerous lymphocytes
known as Reed-Sternberg cells
Lymphocytosis
abnormal increase in lymphocytes, asymptomatic
Stable angina
predictable and consistent pain that occurs on exertion and is relieved by rest and/or
nitroglycerin
Upper respiratory tract infection
common cold, laryngitis, croup, pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, and tonsillitis
lower respiratory tract infection
,pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis
conditions that lead to COPD
smoking, asthma, dust, chemicals, genetics
pnemonia
an inflammation in the lung caused by infection from bacteria, viruses, fungi, or
parasites, or resulting from aspiration of chemicals. Hear crackles and rhonchi.
Asthma
treatment resistant bronchospasm, same category of COPD
pneumothorax
air in the pleural cavity caused by a puncture of the lung or chest wall
cor pulmonale
right-sided heart failure arising from chronic lung disease
Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis
Carbon dust, seen in coal miners. Massive exposure leads to diffuse fibrosis('black
lung')
common characteristics of chronic digestive system disorders
, (Celiac, Chron's, Colitis...) Abdominal pain, weight loss, changes in urination/bowel
movements, bleeding, diarrhea, n/v....
common characteristics of acute digestive system disorders
(GERD, IBS, Hiatal hernia...) Abd pain, bleeding, bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, n/v
pyelonephritis
Inflammation of the renal pelvis and kidney; caused by bacterial infection (commonly
E. Coli)
glomerulonephritis
inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys from injury or illness
renal calculi (kidney stones)
-Minerals in urine crystallize
-Most can pass, but some become too big and obstruct a ureter
renal cell carcinoma
cancerous tumor that arises from kidney tubule cells; flank pain, hematuria, abd
lump
end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
any type of kidney disease in which there is little or no remaining kidney function,
requiring the patient to undergo dialysis or kidney transplant for survival. Symptoms:
n/v, fatigue, change in urination, chest pain, HTN, AMS
