No changes in size or shape, hemoglobin levels are normal (normocytic-normochromic), but erythrocytes are insufficient in #
-
What is Infectious mononucleosis?
Acute infection of B lymphocytes with Epstein-Barr virus (EBF). B lymphocytes have receptors for EBV.
-
What is Leukemia?
Uncontrolled proliferation of leukocytes, causing an overcrowding of bone marrow and decreased production and function of normal hematopoietic cells.
-
What are the types of leukemia?
based on either myeloid or lymphoid origin, and the degree of differentiation before the cell became malignant
-
What are the 4 types of Leukemia?
Acute Lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), Acute Myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
-
What is Myelocytic leukemia?
Mutation of myeloid cell line, overproduction of moncytes or granulocytes, decrease in production of other cell types.
-
What is Lymphadenopathy?
Enlarged lymph nodes occur that are palpable and tender due to an increase in size and number of germinal centers
-
What is Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP)?
IgG antibody that targets platelet glycoproteins; antibody-coated platelets are sequestered and removed from circulation
-
What is anemia?
Reduction in the total number of erythrocytes in the circulating blood or in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin
-
What are the compensation causes of anemia?
tachycardia and palpitations, murmur
-
What are signs of hemolytic anemias?
jaundice, ↑bilirubin
-
What are the signs of aplastic anemias?
petechiae and purpura
-
What is Thalassemia?
is a defect in the alpha or beta chains
-
What is Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
Acquired clinical disorder in which clotting and hemorrhage occur simultaneously.
-
What chain does sickle cell effect?
Beta chains
-
What population is at greatest risk for pernicious anemia?
- People at the greatest risk for pernicious
- anemia are people over the age of 30 who are of northern European descent, and also blacks and Hispanics.
-
Why is oral B12 ineffective for treating pernicious anemia?
Oral B12 administration is ineffective because the person has an intrinsic factor (IF) deficiency, which is required for B12 absorption.
-
Howard, a 56-year-old smoker, has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He arrives at the clinic for a regular follow-up visit. His erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit are all elevated. What is the name of this type of disorder, and what is the likely cause?
Polycythemia Vera (PV) is most likely caused by an acquired genetic stem cell alteration of the erythropoietin receptor causing abnormal proliferation of cells.
-
Olivia is a 3-year-old recently diagnosed
with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) found during her annual physical examination.
What are the signs and symptoms of ALL?
Chromosomal abnormalities, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes most diagnosed during peak growth periods
-
What are the clinical manifestations Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura?
Bruising and generalized petechial rash often occur with acute onset…Hemorrhagic bullae of the gums, lips and other mucous membranes
-
What causes Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura?
1. IgG antibody that targets platelet glycoproteins
2. Antibody-coated platelets are sequestered and removed from circulation
- 3. The acute form of ITP often develops after
- viral infection is one of the most common childhood bleeding disorders
-
What particular conditions would you tell the parents are associated with increased sickling?
“The general manifestations of hemolytic anemia-pallor, fatigue, jaundice, and irritability-sometimes accompanied by…”
1.vaso-occlusive crisis
2. Sequestration crisis
3.Aplastic crisis
4. Hyperhemolytic crisis
-
What education would you provide to a mother who has prescribed RhoGAM?
RhoGAM stops antibodies to her Rh (+) blood from harming her infant’s blood type
-
You suspect that Paul has an acute inflammatory response. List three observations that would confirm this suspicion.
Edema, pain, erythema, heat
-
Describe the clinical and cellular components
that produce the signs and symptoms (redness, heat, swelling, pain, loss of function) that occur with this injury
- -Vasodilation
- -Increased vascular permeability and leakage of
- fluid out of vessel
- -Vascular changes deliver leukocytes, plasma
- proteins and biochemical mediators
-
What cells need to be present for Hodgkin disease?
Reed-Sternburg cell
-
How long does it take for HIV to show up in a blood test?
It takes at least two weeks, generally longer, for the body to produce enough antibodies against the HIV viral coat and proteins to show up on a blood test.
-
Why would one get a vaccine?
- Vaccines are helpful because they help our
- bodies develop immunity to communicable diseases
-
Describe the difference between active and passive immunity?
Active immunity occurs when the body fights off antigen through humoral and cellular immune response and creates memory for that antigen. This can occur naturally, from contracting the illness and fighting it off or it can occur artificially, from receiving an immunization and in response, the body creates memory cells from an adaptive immune response against the injected virus.
Passive immunity occurs when the body is not exposed to antigen but instead is administered antibodies from another body or source. Examples of this include naturally, through the passing on of antibodies from mother to child through breast milk and placenta and, artificially, by being injected immunoglobulins or antibodies for illnesses. For passive immunity, protection ceases when the antibodies degrade, whereas active immunity stores a memory.
-
What is Angiogenesis?
- the process in which the body grows new blood
- vessels
