PATHO 370 (QUIZ 1) COMPLETE SET OF CURRENT EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Definition of aetiology
investigation of the causes or explanations of phenomena
Idiopathic
The cause is not known.
Iatrogenic
Unwanted or inadvertent medical therapy is the cause.
A risk factor
Factors that, when present, raise the risk of illness; both modifiable and non-
modifiable
Definition of pathogenesis
The onset of an illness and the series of events that precede it
Clinical signs and symptoms
Symptoms, signs, and syndrome
Indications
A disease's objective or observed manifestation
Signs and symptoms
subjective perception of a physical anomaly
,Syndrome
comparable to signs and symptoms, however the cause of the former has not yet
been identified.
Phases and clinical trajectory
Acute and chronic clinical courses, prodromal, subclinical, latent, exacerbation,
remission, convalescence, and sequela
Latent time frame
The interval between the tissue's exposure to the harmful chemical and the onset
of symptoms (which may momentarily subside or become mild—remission)
Remission
reduction in intensity, symptoms, or indicators; this could mean the illness has
been treated.
Prodromal phase
The period of time that the disease's initial symptoms and/or indicators occur
Subclinical
The patient is functioning properly, and the disease processes are fully
understood.
Clinical acute course
brief; severe manifestations are possible
Prolonged clinical progression
can occasionally follow an acute course and last anywhere from months to
years.
escalation
, An abrupt worsening of the illness or its symptoms
Recuperation
Phase of recuperation following an illness, trauma, or operation
A sequel
A pathologic condition that develops after an illness
Implications for treatment
Normalcy Concepts
Normality in Statistics
Dependability
Validity
Value Predictiveness
Sensitivity
Particulars
Sensitivity
The likelihood that an individual with a specific disease will test positive (True
Positive)
Particulars
The likelihood that a test will yield a negative result when administered to an
individual who does not have a specific ailment (True Negative)
unique elements influencing illness and therapy
Age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle and socioeconomic characteristics, and
geographic location
Additional elements influencing illness and therapy
Situational and temporal differences
