ARDS is an acronym for this condition in which fluid collects in the lungs' air sacs, depriving organs of oxygen
What is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?
Periods with no breathing that typically last 10-60 seconds is known as this
What is apnea?
Cheyne-Stokes, sometimes called "agonal breathing," is the term for this breathing pattern
What is very irregular?
This is the number one risk factor for developing COPD
What is smoking?
In type 1 diabetes there is almost complete destruction of beta cells. The alpha cells are present in normal numbers but their function is impaired
TRUE
This is a type of neurological degenerative disease in which alpha synuclein forms clumps
What is dementia with Lewy Bodies?
The reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm caused by genetic (hundreds of genes linked) and environmental (thaletes- building products, environmental pollutants, tobacco (primary or secondary), allergens, and obesity is known as this
What is asthma?
These cells are in the middle of the islets of Langerhans and secrete insulin
What are beta cells?
Slow respirations are known by this term
What is Bradypnea?
Atherosclerosis often has no symptoms until a plaque ruptures or the buildup is severe enough to block blood flow
TRUE
This is the name for an endocrine disorder that occurs because of adrenal insufficiency
What is Addison's Disease?
The function of this hormone is to insert aquaporins (Aquaporin 2 specifically) into the tubular luminal membrane in the kidneys
What is the antidiuretic hormone?
This irregular, often uncomfortable-to-watch, pattern of breathing is often seen in the last days and hours of life but may also be seen in some people with congestive heart failure
What is Cheyne-Stokes?
Hormone secreting adenomas can cause this condition from over secretion of cortisol
What is Cushing's Syndrome?
Asthma can be treated by decreasing the number of triggers, injected steroids and bronchodilators
FALSE - inhaled steroids
Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) result from an acute, diffuse injury to the alveolocapillary membrane and decreased production of this substance
What is surfactant (increases membrane permeability and causes edema, atelectasis, and hypoxemia)
Addison's Disease causes symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, hypotension, hypoglycemia and this pigmented skin condition
What is vitiligo?
Alveolar macrophages and neutrophils start to accumulate in the alveoli in order to attack the antigen in this illness
What is pneumonia?
Arteriosclerosis is a buildup of this in the walls of arteries causing obstruction of blood flow
What is cholesterol plaque?
Testing the Cingulate Gyrus for CIS helps to differentiate whether a patient has Dementia with Lewy Bodies (positive test) or Alzheimer’s disease (negative test).
TRUE
Addison's Disease is caused by this adrenal impediment
What is adrenal dysgenesis (adrenal glands don't form properly, or impaired steroidal genesis, autoimmune adrenal dysfunction, unable to synthesize cholesterol)?
Alpha cells, located on the periphery of the islets of Langerhans, secrete this
What is glucagon?
Alveolar macrophages stimulate these proteins, which induce the symptoms of fever, chills, myalgia, and fatigue
What are cytokines?
Genetic factors can cause COPD, specifically, a defect in this (produced in liver and helps protect from protase called neutrophil elastase - breaks down elastin), making lungs less compliant
What is alpha 1 antitrypsin?
Congestive Heart Failure is often caused by hypotension, myocardial infarction, alcohol abuse, myocarditis
FALSE - hypertension
