Questions and Step-by-Step Verified
Answers / Fully Solved
1: Pathology
the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs,
tissues, cells, and bodily fluids.
1: Etiology
the study of the causes of diseases
1: risk factor
Something which increases risk or susceptibility.
1: pathogenesis
the development or evolution of a disease, from initial stimulus to
the ultimate expression of the manifestations
1: signs of disease
manifestations of disease that are observed
1: symptoms
subjective feelings of an abnormality in the body
1: syndrome
etiology of a particular set of signs and symptoms has not yet been
determined
1: latent period
interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the
first appearance of signs and symptoms
1: prodromal period
,refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating
the onset of a disease
1: Stage of manifest illness/acute phase
disease reaches its full intensity, and signs and symptoms attain
their greatest severity
1: latent/ silent period
signs and symptoms may become mild or disappear for a time
1: acute condition
relatively severe manifestations but runs a short coarse measured
in hours, days, or a few weeks
1: chronic condition
can begin in the acute phase and become prolonged when the
body's defenses are insufficient to overcome the causative agent
and can last for months
1: exacerbation
sudden increase in the severity of a disease
1: remission
an abatement or decline in severity of the signs and symptoms of a
disease
1: convalescence
stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation
1: sequela (sequelae)
subsequent pathologic condition produced by a disease
1: validity/accuracy
the degree to which a measurement reflects the true value of the
object it is intended to measure
1: reliability/precision
the ability of a test to give the same result in repeated
measurements
1: predictive value
the extent to which a test can differentiate between the presence or
absence of a condition in an individual
1: positive predictive value
, estimate of the probability that disease is present if the test is
positive
1: negative predictive value
an estimate of the probability that disease is absent if the test is
negative
1: Sensitivity
probability that a test will be positive when applied to a person with
the condition
1: Specificity
probability that a test will be negative when applied to a person
who does not have a given condition
1: influencers of physiologic parameters?
Age, gender, genetic and ethnic background, geographic area, and
time of day
1: acclimatization
a normal adaptive response
1: epidemiology
study of patterns of a disease
1: endemic disease
disease that is native to a local region (a town or county)
1: epidemic
disease is disseminated to many people at the same time (a
country)
1: pandemic
disease that spreads widely across a large area (the world)
1: principal factors affecting patterns of disease in human
populations?
age, ethnic group, gender, socioeconomic factors and lifestyle
considerations, and geographic location
1: developmental process
changes in function that occur during the early years of life
2: homeostasis
