Disease prevention: tertiary prevention
Give this one a try later!
After diagnoses, clinical intervention to reduce complications and/or
deterioration = healthcare setting w/professionals (clinical course)
(Ex: prescribing meds after heartattack to prevent another)
What are the 3 categories for development of disease?
Give this one a try later!
, Acute = somewhat severe but self-limiting
Chronic = longterm, normally continuous, exacerbation of symptoms and
remission
Subacute = between the above 2, but not as severe/prolonged
Define case control studies
Give this one a try later!
Comparing those who have who have outcome of interest vs w10 outcome
of interest
Name 3 primary structures of cell
Give this one a try later!
Nucleus cytoplasm, plasma membrane
7 stages of disease development
Give this one a try later!
, Define pathology
Give this one a try later!
Studying structural and functional changes that occur in cells, tissues and
organs b/c of disease
Define cross sectional studies
Give this one a try later!
Comparing prevalence of disease to exposure to etiologic factors (vs non
exposure to same factor) ex: prevalence of CHD in smokers vs nonsmokers
What is morphology?
Give this one a try later!
Structure of cells or tissues- morphologic changes can be microscopic
