What are complications from myocardial infarction?
About 90% of cases are related to smoking
What is lung cancer?
Gut wall - mucosa, submucosa, circular smooth muscle layer, longitudinal smooth muscle layer, serosa
What are some of the different structures of the digestive tract?
Glomeruli, tubules, or blood vessels of the nephrons
What does kidney disease typically effect?
Should be treated quickly to prevent ischemic damage
What is torsion of the testis?
Deviations from normal cardiac rate or rhythm, reduction of the efficiency of the hearts pumping cycle
What is a cardiac dysrhythmia?
Most common type of primary malignant lung tumor
What is bronchogenic carcinoma?
- Radiography
- Ultrasound
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance (MRI)
- CT and MRI may use radioactive tracers
What are the basic diagnostic tests for digestive system disorders?
Can interfere with the essential organization of the nephrons within the kidney
What is scar tissue?
Can be associated with UTIs and STDs
What is prostatitis?
Bundle branch block, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)
What are ventricular conduction abnormalities?
- Meconium ileus newborns
- Blockage of pancreatic ducts
- Obstruction of bile ducts
- Salivary glands often mildly affected
What ways does cystic fibrosis affect the digestive tract?
- Dietary modifications
- Stress reduction techniques
- Drugs: antacids, antiemetics, laxatives or enemas, antidiarrheals
What are common therapies/prevention for digestive system disorders?
Infection of the bladder, can ascend along the continuous mucosa to cause pyelonephritis
What is cystitis?
Serious bacterial infection caused by microbes such as chlamydia ascending into the fallopian tubes and entering the peritoneal cavity to cause peritonitis and later, strictures, adhesions, and infertility
What is pelvic inflammatory disorder?
- Less blood reaches the various organs
- Decreased cell function
- Fatigue and lethargy
- Mild acidosis develops
What occurs when cardiac output or stroke volume decreases?
- Obstruction of airflow into bronchus
- inflammation and bleeding
- Pleural effusion, hemothorax, pneumothorax
- Paraneoplastic syndrome
- Systemic issues
What are effects of lung tumors?
Associated with severe trauma or systemic problems, rapid onset
What is a stress ulcer?
Can cause leakage of erythrocytes and protein into the filtrate
What is mild glomerular inflammation?
Can be androgen dependent, usually metastasizes to bone at an early stage
What is cancer of the prostate?
- Increased incidence with diabetes
- Most common in; abdominal aorta, carotid arteries, femoral and iliac arteries
- Group of chronic respiratory disorders
- Causes irreversible and progressive damage to lungs
- Debilitating conditions that may affect individual's ability to work
- May lead to the development of corpulmonale
- Respiratory failure may occur
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
- Called delta virus
- Incomplete RNA virus
- Transmitted by blood
What is Hepatitis D?
- Is indicated by sudden oliguria, increased serum urea, and acidosis
What is acute renal failure?
Causes can be based in the male or female or in a combination of factors related to production of ova or sperm, structural deficits, or hormone imbalances
What is infertility?
