Chapter 1
Why do we use the ICF?
Allows for assessment of disability
Define morbidity
disease rates within a group
Define Atrophy
Decrease in cell size
This disease is an autosomal dominant disorder with brain degeneration and develops in mid-life.
Huntington's Disease
This is a normal body defense mechanism that localizes and removes agents harmful to the body.
Inflammation
Name the different sections of the ICF
Health Condition (Disease or Disorder)
Functions - Activities - Participation
Environmental Factors - Personal Factors
define mortality
Define Dysplasia
Cells vary in size and shape
This disease is an autosomal-recessive disease that often causes death early in life. very common...1 in 22 caucasians carry the gene
Cystic Fibrosis
Which of the following is NOT a chemical that is released into the interstitial fluid and blood during inflammation:
- Histamine
- Glucosimine
- Serotonin
- Prostaglandins
- Leukotrienes
Glucosimine
Define Comorbidities
two or more coexisting but unrelated medical conditions
Define pathogenesis
development of a disease
Define hyperplasia
increased number of cells
Most common chromosomal disorder occuring in 1 of 800 births.
Down Syndrome
Name 2 diagnostic tests used to determine the type of infection is present during inflammation.
Leukocytosis
CRP
ESR
Increased plasma proteins and cell enzymes in serum
Define Epidemiology
the science of tracking disease occurences or patterns
define remissions
subsiding disease symptoms
define hypertrophy
increase in cell size
This disease is characterized by the symptoms of blockage in the lungs and cysts in the pancreas.
Cystic Fibrosis
List the various methods of wound healing
Resolution
Regeneration
Replacement
Healing by First/Second Intention
Define etiology
causative factors of a disease
T/F - Predisposing factors help predict the occurrence of a disease (age, gender, environment, heredity, lifestyle, physical activity, socioeconomic status)
False. They do NOT predict...just makes it more likely they may get the disease.
Define Metaplasia
adult tissue changes abnormally into a different kind of tissue
Symptoms include progressive mental deterioration, jerky movements
Huntingtons disease
Phases of Healing
Inflammation
Proliferation
Maturation
