-
Hyponatremia
too little Na+
-
Causes of edema (4 main)
- 1. increase hypostatic pressure
- 2. decrease capillary osmotic
- 3. increased interstitial osmotic pressure
- 4. decreased protein in the plasma
-
What can hypokalemia cause?
muscle problems=heart problems
-
What is the major problem with decreased Mg?
decreased Mg leads to decreased K. Must fix decreased Mg first or K will never fix
-
what does increased CO2 lead to?
decreased pH of blood
-
How does the body get rid of acid?
Acid is turned into H2CO3 (bicarb) and converted into C02. C02 is only let out thru lungs.
-
What happens with untreated type 1 diabetes?
ketoacidosis. The body produces more acid. Not necessarily acidemia but a change in the pH of blood...which is very bad
-
skeletal muscles in GI
Sphincters in upper GI.
-
Agenesis
didn't happen. Just didn't grow an arm
-
Aplasia
started but then stopped before done. Arm stopped growing at elbow
-
Atrophy
Reaches fully developed but then shrinks.
-
hypertrophy
increase in cell size
-
hyperplasia
increase in cell number.Normally occurs in breast and calluses
-
Metaplasia
cells begin to change and act like other cells
-
Neoplasia
New cell growth. Can be CA but maybe not. describes as abnormal cell growth or tumors.
-
tumors
growths, lumps, or swelling. sign of inflammation. don't have to be cancerous, and cancer doesn't have to have tumors
-
What is cancer
abnormal, unregulated cell growth
-
What do cancers arise from? in most cases
breakdown in control of cellular growth.
-
Benign
not necessarily dangerous. used more in the predicted outcome. don't spread to different areas. inclosed.
-
carcinoma
cancer in epithilioid cells
-
sarcoma
cancer in cell from supporting tissues. muscles, bone and other connective tissue
-
most (90%) of cancers are...
carcinomas- epithelial cells constantly have to be replaced, makes it much easier for CA
-
Malignant cancer
have a much higher tendency to spread.
-
Metastasize
move to a secondary location and cause tumors to grow
-
good thing about primary tumor
keeps secondary tumors from growing. if cut out may cause a bunch of other tumors to suddenly pop up
-
if primary tumor in leg, secondary goes where
lungs
-
if primary in lymph where secondary
lymphnodes
-
primary in GI secondary where
liver
-
carinogenesis
development of CA. Has to do with cellular replication
-
proto-oncogene
normal gene that might become cancer. very good at telling cells to grow.
-
tumor suppressor gene
keeps cells from growing too much
-
oncogenes
protooncogenes gone bad. something damaged the gene.
-
oncogenes occur from 4 main mechanisms
- 1. point mutations
- 2. gene amplification (too many genes being produced)
- 3. chromosomal rearrangements (chunks of chromos getting stuck together)-might be CA or fetal death
- 4. insertion of viral genomes
-
Rb
tumor suppressor gene. codes for a protein which soaks up transcription factors. keeps transcription from happening too much
-
p53
tumor suppressor gene. very common gene defect in CA normally inhibits cells from going through cell cycle
-
BRCA1 and BRCA2
breast CA. women with one or both have much higher probability of breast and ovarian CA
-
DNA repair genes
making millions of copies each day. fix errors, when there is a problem with these genes the errors never get fixed.
-
best thing about CA
cancer cells look different than other cells makes it easier to detect
-
Type 1 hypersensitivity
way too much. doesnt just go to place needed goes to whole body.
-
IgE
antibodies involved in most allergic reactions. binds to antigen and stimulates others to come
-
-
-
deep breathing by asthmatics causes what over time
hyperinflated chest
-
possible that what is impaired in asthmatics
B-adrenergic innervation of bronchioles. (receptors in flight/fight response) this is why b-agonist are helpful in some pt.
-
asthma tx
- 1. b-agonist inhalants
- 2. drugs that prevent mast cells from releasing histamine
- 3. blockers of acetylcholine receptors
- 4. leukotriene
-
atopic
person has a type I response (lotsa IgE) and has symptoms in other areas of the body
-
serum sickness
illness due to circulation immune complexes. occurs when lotsa ag introduced. ab sticks to and deposits somewhere (kidneys, blood vessel walls, etc.)
-
Main targets of HIV
CD4 cell (t helper cell), makes immune response not very helpful cells appear to commit suicide when infected with HIV. therefore no immune system
-
when is HIV AIDS?
- 1. when CD4 cells are lower than 200
- 2. or presence of indicator condition (TB, invasive cervial CA, pneumonia (recurrent), or kaposi sarcoma)
-
Macrocytic, normochromic
large RBC's cells supposed to divide and don't still norm Hgb
-
microcytic, hypochromic
small cells with less color (decreased hgb)
-
increased RBC loss
- 1. bleeding
- 2. hemolysis (something causes RBC to die too fast)
- 3. Malaria (infection of RBC's causes them to be cleared by spleen)
-
lack of production of RBC
- 1. leukemias
- 2. lymphomas
- 3. multiple myelomas
- 4. chemicals
- 5. radiation
-
aplastic anemia
stem cells don't work properly not producing enough RBC's
-
polycythemia
too many RBC's, increases blood volume and viscosity. fix by drinking.
-
Lymphomas
lymph cells in the periphery. reproducing away from the bone marrow.
-
two classifications of leukemia
- 1. lymphocytic- malignant transformation of stem cell
- 2. myelocytic- malignant tranformation of granulocyte cell
-
two types of lymphomas
- 1. hodgkin's just know what it's going to do next
- 2. non-hodgkins unpredictable..everything else
-
Renal control of acid-base balance
kidneys can get rid of any acid except carbonic. bicarb goes into urine and h follows. bicarb reabsorbed into blood leaving h to pee. getting rid of acid
-
metabolic acidosis
too much HCO3
-
respiratory acidosis
too much CO2
-
metabolic alkalosis
too little HCO3
-
respiratory alkalosis
too little CO2
-
what happens with metabolic acidosis
ABG show low bicarb, hyperventilation will try to compensate
-
what happens with respiratory acidosis
too much carbonic acid, ABG will have too much CO2 (lungs not doing very good job), compensation via renal excretion of acid
-
what happens with metabolic alkalosis
loss of lots of non-carbonic acid (could be an increase in bicarb or decrease in non-carbonic acid or both; also maybe too much bicarb ingestion i.e. antacids (rolaids--mag), also loss of stomach acid-vomiting); plasma bicarb is increased, hypoventalation will try to compensate, ABG increase CO2 concentration PaCO2
-
what happens with respiratory alkalosis
from hyperventilation PaCO2 will be very low. reduction of bicarb will compensate
-
what is amazing thing about esophagus
relaxation and contraction at same time. just knows what to do.
-
dysphagia
difficulty swallowing
-
-
achalasia
weak and uncoordinated contraction in esophagus..food builds up in lower esophagus
-
diffuse esophageal spasm
contractions good but not coordinated. antacids may help sometimes surgery
-
esophagitis
many times due to acid coming up from esophagus
-
chronic esophagitis
reflux disease. over long period causes Barrett's esophagus (metaplasia-looks like skin)
-
gastrin
hormone produced by g-cells (stomach, pancreas and duodenum)
-
enteric plexus
tells alkaline to come (secretin) when detects acid in the intestine
-
CCK
chole (bile-from cholesterol), cysto (bladder) kinin (activator). causes pancreas to release digestive enzymes and tells nervous system full (satiety sense)
-
peptic ulcer disease-gastric location
20% of all ulcers. weakening of mucosal barrier. from aspirin, ETOH, bacteria, other. tx: coating meds or surgery
-
peptic ulcer disease- duodenal location
80% of all peptic ulcers. increased HCl and pepsins
-
why ulcers bad
risk of hemorrhage, gastric carcinoma increases.
-
celiac disease
a gluten in wheat causes autoimmune responce in mucosa of the sm intestine. only tx is to eliminate gluten from diet
-
peritonitis
inflammation of abdominal lining
-
most cancers in whole GI tract is where?
lower GI- colon and rectum
-
two flavors of ulcerative colitis
- 1. nonspecific ulcerative colitis: involves the whole colon, inflames then goes away then comes back later
- 2. crohn's disease: inflam the entire thickness of the bowel wall appears in discrete places but can be anywhere from mouth to anus
-
risk factors of large bowel CA
colitis, polyps, low fiber, and other things we don't know about
-
conjugation of bilirubin occurs where and why?
liver cells and so bilirubin is soluble in water allows it to be excreted in bile
-
unconjugated bilirubin why bad
not soluble in water means liver cells not working. bili in blood gets big (jaundice, sickle cell, meds)
-
hyperbilirubinemia
excess conjugated bilirubin not secreted in bile, (hep, cirrhosis, gallbladder problems
