Allostatic overload theory
each individual has a given threshold for stress tolerance, once a certain
threshold is exceeded, negative consequences ensue
-"cost" of body's organs and tissues for an excessive or ineffectively
regulated allostatic response
,Status asthmaticus
a prolonged, extremely severe, life-threatening asthma attack
symptoms of right sided heart failure
Awakening at night with shortness of breath
Shortness of breath during exercise or when lying flat
Coughing
Wheezing
Difficulty concentrating
Dizziness
Fatigue
Fluid retention causing swelling in the ankles, legs, feet and/or abdomen
Increased urge to urinate
Lack of appetite and nausea
Difficulty exercising
Sudden weight gain
intracellular accumulations
, buildup of substances that cells cannot immediately use or
eliminate
-Excess accumulations of substances in cells. Abnormal
endogenous or exogenous particles indicate a disorder of
cellular metabolism. Result of; Toxicity, Immune Response,
Taking up cellular space, Things normally in cell.
1.) excessive amounts of normal intracellular substances
such as fat. 2.) accumulation or abnormal substances
produced by the cell b/c of faulty metabolism or synthesis.
3.) accumulation of pigments & particles that the cell is
unable to degrade.
common site of intracellular accumulation is the liver.
GAS resistance stage
adaptation resources are mobilized to combat stressor, and body maintains
a higher level of resistance; get accustomed to stress but it can have
physical effects of your body
-The activity of the nervous and endocrine systems in returning the body to
homeostasis
Blood pressure classification ranges
Category Systolic (upper) Diastolic (lower)
Normal <120 <80
Prehypertension 120-139 80-89
Stage 1 140-159 90-99
, Stage 2 >160 >100
sign for pneumothorax
tracheal shift and respiratory distress
What is associated with allergic form of asthma?
Inflammation, mucosal edema, and bronchoconstriction
Characteristics of asthma
Chronic inflammatory disorder, airway responsiveness, genetic
susceptibility, and airway remodeling
Hypersensitive urgency vs emergency
Give this one a try later!
