FINAL PATHO EXAM
Turner syndrome A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an X chromosome is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted. Patients with suspected Turner syndrome require genetic testing and hormone level evaluation. Echocardiogram, bone density, and bone age testing are necessary. Treatment involves estrogen therapy and growth hormone administration. The patient should be treated symptomatically for all other effects of the disease. -Underde...

Pathology - Burns
PopularBURNS Introduction • Burns are a form of traumatic injury caused by thermal, electrical, chemical, or radioactive agents. –50% to 60% of fire deaths are due to inhalation injury. Pathophysiology • Burn Injury • Physiologic reaction to a burn is similar to the inflammatory process. –Adjacent intact vessels dilate, causing redness and blanching with pressure. –Platelets and leukocytes begin to adhere to the vascular endothelium as an early event in the inflammatory process. Pa...

Biology of cancers and tumors
BIOLOGY OF CANCER AND TUMOR SPREAD INTRODUCTION • Cancer is a disease process that begins when an abnormal cell is transformed by the genetic mutation of the cellular DNA. • This abnormal cell forms a clone and begins to proliferate abnormally, ignoring growth-regulating signals in the environment surrounding the cell. INTRODUCTION • The cells acquire invasive characteristics, and changes occur in surrounding tissues. • The cells infiltrate these tissues and gain access to lymph ...

Altered cellular tissue biology
Introduction • Knowledge of structural and functional reactions of cells & tissues to injurious agents - key in understanding of disease processes • Altered cellular & tissue biology can result from adaptation, injury, neoplasia, aging or death CELLULAR ADAPTATION • An alteration that enables the cell to maintain a steady state despite adverse conditions • Adapted cell is neither normal nor injured –Condition – in between the two states • Forms – atrophy, hypertroph...

pathological calcification
PATHOLOGIC CALCIFICATION Definition – Abnormal deposition of calcium salts in the tissue other than osteoid or enamel. Along with calcium salts, small amounts of Magnesium, iron, and other mineral salts are also deposited Two types of pathologic calcifications are- 1. Dystrophic calcification 2. Metastatic calcification Dystrophic calcification Calcification occurs in dead and degenerated tissues Plasma calcium levels and Phosphate levels are normal Pathogenesis Deposition of calcium...

Wound Healing
The stages of wound healing proceed in an organized way and follow four processes: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and maturation. Although the stages of wound healing are linear, wounds can progress backward or forward depending on internal and external patient conditions. The four stages of wound healing are: Hemostasis Phase Hemostasis is the process of the wound being closed by clotting. Hemostasis starts when blood leaks out of the body. The first step of hemostasis is when blood ...

Types of human cells
Introduction • Cells in the human body may be based on –tissue formation –on their function Human body cells based on tissue formation • 1.Bone cells (Osteocytes) -toughest body Cell since they are bound together by calcium and phosphate • They give strength, support and frame-work to the body by enclosing organs in skeletal system i.e bones. • 2.Cartilage cells (chondrocytes)– similar to bone cells but the surrounding material is just loose and flexible ...

PATHOLOGY - INFLAMMATION
Introduction • Inflammation is a defensive reaction intended to neutralize, control, or eliminate the offending agent and to prepare the site for repair. • Meant to serve a protective function. • Occurs in cell injury events, such as strokes and myocardial infarctions. Introduction • Inflammation is an adaptive response to noxious conditions-an attempt to restore homeostasis • Inflammation can be induced by immune recognition that is hypersensitive to environmental components...

Pathology - haemorrhage
Introduction • Hemorrhage is extravasation of blood outside the blood vessel. • Hematoma-Hemorrhage enclosed within a tissue or a cavity • Exsanguination- total loss of blood • Desanguination- major loss • Hemorrhage is one of the basic problems and considerations in surgery • From trivial trauma or major abdominal organ injuries- congenital and acquired coagulation disorders • A wide spectrum of problems involves hemorrhage Classification of hemorrhage According t...

introduction to fluids and electrolytes
BODY FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES • Body fluids and electrolytes play an important role in maintaining homeostasis of the body • Body fluids transport nutrients, electrolytes, and oxygen to cells and carrying waste products away from cells. • Many diseases and their treatments can affect fluid and electrolyte balance. • E.g a patient with metastatic breast or lung cancer may develop hypercalcemia because of bone destruction from tumor invasion. • Chemotherapy prescribed to treat the...
