What does sensitivity identify about a It identifies the portion of people who HAVE the disease and ARE positive the test
diagnostic? for the disease
A result of a hospital stay, NOT caused by a medical treatment. i.e. think of bed rest,
How is nosocomial pneumonia acquired?
too long or intubation
- proportion of population affected at a fixed point in time
What is prevelence?
- typically clinically scoring data (lameness scoring)
The measure of existing cases divided by Prevelence
the population (per 100 people) is?
Mortality Signifies the number of person who die from a given condition
What levels of intervention prevent further Tertiary
deterioration?
If a patient has a pH lower than 7.35, what Acidosis
does this indicate?
What is a normal pCO2? 35-45 mmHg
What is a normal HCO3? 22-26, remember 2x3=6
What is HCO3 called? Bicarbonate
Diagnosis the following ABGs: 7.50/37/35 Metabolic Alkalosis
Diagnosis the following ABGs: 7.21/50/25 Respiratory Acidosis
Diagnosis and treat the following ABGs: Partially compensated metabolic acidosis; tx w/bicarb
7.29/31/18
How does atrophy effect the cell? It decreases the cell size
Hypoxia is The lack of oxygen to the cell
, Sodium and water move into the cell
The Sodium-Potassium pump has failed to vacuoles form
correct hypoxia. What happens to the cell? cytoplasm swells
cell degenerates and ruptures
Reperfusion injury occurs when oxygen is restored to ischemic tissue
- Hypertrophy
- Atrophy
The five adaptive changes are: - Hyperplasia
- Metaplasia
- Dysplasia
Both parents are dominant/dominant, will NO
their children express recessive traits?
A composition of genes at a given location; it is NOT the potential expression of the
What is the definition of a genotype?
gene
An individual that has the disease-causing allele however is phenotypically normal;
What is a genetic carrier?
they do not express the disease
T/F Women who carry the faulty x-linked False, they may pass it on to either child
gene will not pass it to both sons and
daughters?
Parents are DD and dd, what is the 100%
percentage that their offspring will express
DOMINANT gene characteristics?
Diffusion is an example of what kind of Passive transport
transport?
It is the plasma protein that is primarily responsible for the plasma oncotic pressure
What is Albumin?
as it has the highest concentration
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the
What is the ADH system?
kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced.
How do low and elevated ADH levels A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine. A low level results in
effect the body? greater urine production
Intracellular: Increase in plasma serum osmolality -> ADH is made in the
hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary -> cause thirst -> water
Explain the antidiuretic hormone system: ingestion -> extracellular water volume
Extracellular: Decreased blood volume -> secretion of ADH -> Reabsorption of
water by the kidney -> Extracellular water volume
Increase in plasma osmotic pressure
stimulation of osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus
How does intracellular dehydration work? stimulation of pituitary release of ADH
reabsorption of water in the kidneys
excretion of small volumes of concentrated urine
Decrease in plasma volume and BP
stimulation of specialized volume receptors
increase in blood levels of angiotensin II
How does extracellular dehydration work? stimulation of aldosterone release
stimulation of thirst
reabsorption of sodium in the kidney (water follows sodium!)
excretion of small volumes of concentrated urine
