(PO 1, 4) Discussion Discussion Part One (graded) NR 507 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY WEEK 1 TD1 John is a 19-year-old college football player who presents with sneezing, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion that worsens at night. He states that he has a history of asthma, eczema and allergies to pollen. There is also one other person on the football team that has similar symptoms. His vitals are BP 110/70, P 84, R 18, T 100 F. Write a differential of at least five (5) possible items from the most likely to less likely. For each disease include information about the epidemiology, pathophysiology and briefly argue why this disease fits the presentation and why it might not fit the presentation. Responses Rechel DelAntar 4/26/2016 7:11:48 PM Introduction Hello Professor and Class, I would like to greet everyone a warm Hello and hope everyone is doing great. My name is Rechel Delantar and I have been a nurse for what seems like ages (graduated 1990). I have been in critical care and recovery room for most of my nursing career. The last 12 years I have specialized in Cardiovascular Recovery Room caring for post Heart Assist device, ECMOs, open hearts and organ transplant patients among others before moving to my current position as a Heart transplant coordinator. I have always wanted to pursue my masters degree but found it difficult with time and family and later on going back to school online became a little intimidating. When my parents died I then decided to pursue my dream of obtaining my APN. I have been blessed to have good instructors and classmates and I'm getting comfortable with school. It is a pleasure to meet everyone and good luck with class. Rochelle Elayda 4/26/2016 9:49:02 PM Discussion part 1 Allergic rhinitis Epidemiology: Allergic rhinitis is a common chronic disease with a prevalence between five and twenty-two percent in the United States (Khan, 2014). Many patients who have asthma also have allergic rhinitis. Rhinitis is most common in patients ages 15-25, and it affects more boys than girls (Batt, 2014). Allergic rhinitis is usually diagnosed before asthma and sensitization occurs at a very young age when the immune system is still immature (Batt, 2014). Symptoms include sneezing, itching, nasal irritation, and rhinorrhea. The symptoms occur when the patient breathes in allergens such as pollen, dust, food, and pet dander. Pathophysiology: When the patient is exposed to an allergen, the allergen-specific T cells is activated and causes the production of allergen-specific IgE (Batt, 2014). The IgE binds to receptors on mast cells and basophils. The allergen causes cell degranulation and releases mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins which causes the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (Batt, 2014). Argument: I think that John could be suffering from allergic rhinitis. With his history of asthma and pollen allergy as well as his symptoms of sneezing and nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis would be a perfect fit. Rhinosinusitis Epidemiology: Rhinosinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa. About 31 million people are affected by sinusitis in the United States and is the fifth most common diagnosis in which antibiotics are prescribed (Shoup, 2011). About $3-$5 billion dollars of healthcare costs are due to patients with sinusitis. Pathophysiology: Rhinosinusitis is either acute or chronic. Acute rhinosinusitis can be either bacterial or viral. Viral rhinosinusitis is caused by exposure to viruses such as the rhinovirus, influenza A and B, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and enterovirus (Shoup, 2011). When viruses enter the nasal passage, they attach to cell walls and activate several inflammatory pathways which causes an excess of turbinate vasculature, intercellular leakage, and seromucinous discharge (Shoup, 2011). Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzaie, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Stapholocoous aureus (Shoup, 2011). Chronic rhinosinusitis is caused by infection, allergies, genetics, or systemic disorders. The inflammatory cells that are triggered are eosinophils (Shoup, 2011). Argument: Symptoms of rhinosinusitis are cough, sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure headache, and sore throat (Shoup, 2011). John has some of these symptoms but does not have a headache or facial pain which is a significant feature of rhinosinusitis. There is really no connection between rhinosinusitis and asthma or allergies to pollen. Rochelle Reference: Batt, R. (2014). Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis and impact on the adolescent.

Retrieved from Rochelle Elayda reply to Rochelle Elayda 5/2/2016 4:32:42 PM RE: Discussion part 1 Continuation of original post: The Common Cold (Rhinovirus Infection): The common cold was discovered in 1956 by Dr. Winston Price where he was able to isolate the rhinovirus (Kennedy, Turner, Braciale, Heymann, & Borish, 2012). Adults experience two to three colds per year and children experience an average of eight to twelve per year. The virus affects the upper and lower airways. There is no cure for the common cold, but palliative relief help with symptoms. The common cold is largely responsible to loss of productivity, high healthcare costs, and triggering other illnesses (Witek, Ramsey, Carr, & Riker, 2014). Pathophysiology: The rhinovirus, which is the main virus that causes symptoms of the common cold, is a single-stranded non-enveloped RNA virus that has over 100 serotypes (Kennedy et al., 2012). When the RV enters the cell, the viral genome is translated into a polyprotein, which goes through a process called proteolytic cleavage which produces the structural and non-structural gene products (Kennedy et al., 2012). Argument: Symptoms of the common cold are sneezing, headache, malaise, chilliness, nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, sore throat, and cough. Although this diagnosis could be a possibility, John does not have many of those symptoms and does not feel malaise. Seasonal allergy: Epidemiology: Allergies affect approximately 15-20 percent of the population and has increased dramatically in the last 20-30 years. It is a huge hindrance for those affected by it. The most common cause of allergy symptoms is pollen, molds, and fungi(Middleton, 2016). Pathophysiology: When an allergen enters the body and invades the immune system, T helper cells and their mediators begin to respond by attacking this invader (Middleton, 2016). Antigen-presenting cells detect the allergen and then the allergen is absorbed, processed, and displayed on its surface. The invaded antigen-presenting cell migrates to the T-lymphocyte which stimulates the B-cell to produce the antibody, IgE. The IgE attaches itself on the surfaces of mast cells causing an inflammatory mediator such as histamine (Middleton, 2016). Argument: John is allergic to pollen which could trigger the symptoms described in the scenario. Seasonal Influenza: Epidemiology: Seasonal outbreaks for influenza in the United States occurs in the winter months. Globally, this illness has caused about half a million deaths each year (Goodband, Oakley, Rayner, Toms, & Brostoff, 2014). Influenza causes approximately 7.6 million working days a year (Goodband et al., 2014). One of the most important steps in the prevention of influenza is vaccination. Despite the well-known benefits of vaccination, many people continue to refuse to get vaccinated. Pathophysiology: The influenza virus is an RNA virus which is surrounded by a viral envelope containing glycoproteins (Goodband et al., 2014). Because this is an RNA virus (and not a DNA virus), the influenza genome is susceptible to spontaneous genetic mutations. These mutations may effect the genes that encode the H and N antibodybinding sites which in turn reduce the binding of existing antibodies. New viral strains tend to spread more rapidly. Argument: Although the influenza virus causes the symptoms that John currently has, this would be the last diagnosis I feel he would have. The flu causes fever, malaise, and body aches. John is still playing football, and if he had the flu, he would not feel well enough to play. Reference: Goodband, A., Oakley, S., Rayner, J., Toms, J., & Brostoff, J. (2014).

to pollen. There is also one other person on the football team that has similar symptoms. His
vitals are BP 110/70, P 84, R 18, T 100 F.

Write a differential of at least five (5) possible items from the most likely to less likely. For
each disease include information about the epidemiology, pathophysiology and briefly
argue why this disease fits the presentation and why it might not fit the presentation.

Introduction

Hello Professor and Class,
I would like to greet everyone a warm Hello and hope everyone is doing great. My name is
Rechel Delantar and I have been a nurse for what seems like ages (graduated 1990). I have
been in critical care and recovery room for most of my nursing career. The last 12 years I have
specialized in Cardiovascular Recovery Room caring for post Heart Assist device, ECMOs, open
hearts and organ transplant patients among others before moving to my current position as a
Heart transplant coordinator. I have always wanted to pursue my masters degree but found it
difficult with time and family and later on going back to school online became a little
intimidating. When my parents died I then decided to pursue my dream of obtaining my APN. I
have been blessed to have good instructors and classmates and I'm getting comfortable with
school.
It is a pleasure to meet everyone and good luck with class.

Discussion part 1

Allergic rhinitis
Epidemiology: Allergic rhinitis is a common chronic disease with a prevalence between five and
twenty-two percent in the United States (Khan, 2014). Many patients who have asthma also
have allergic rhinitis. Rhinitis is most common in patients ages 15-25, and it affects more boys
than girls (Batt, 2014). Allergic rhinitis is usually diagnosed before asthma and sensitization
occurs at a very young age when the immune system is still immature (Batt, 2014). Symptoms
include sneezing, itching, nasal irritation, and rhinorrhea. The symptoms occur when the patient
breathes in allergens such as pollen, dust, food, and pet dander.
Pathophysiology:
When the patient is exposed to an allergen, the allergen-specific T cells is activated and causes
the production of allergen-specific IgE (Batt, 2014). The IgE binds to receptors on mast cells
and basophils. The allergen causes cell degranulation and releases mediators such as histamine,
leukotrienes, and prostaglandins which causes the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis
(Batt, 2014).
Argument:
I think that John could be suffering from allergic rhinitis. With his history of asthma and pollen
allergy as well as his symptoms of sneezing and nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis would be a
perfect fit.
Rhinosinusitis
Epidemiology: Rhinosinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal mucosa.
About 31 million people are affected by sinusitis in the United States and is the fifth most
common diagnosis in which antibiotics are prescribed (Shoup, 2011). About $3-$5 billion dollars
of healthcare costs are due to patients with sinusitis.

,Pathophysiology:
Rhinosinusitis is either acute or chronic. Acute rhinosinusitis can be either bacterial or viral.
Viral rhinosinusitis is caused by exposure to viruses such as the rhinovirus, influenza A and B,
parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and enterovirus (Shoup, 2011). When
viruses enter the nasal passage, they attach to cell walls and activate several inflammatory
pathways which causes an excess of turbinate vasculature, intercellular leakage, and
seromucinous discharge (Shoup, 2011). Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is commonly caused by
Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzaie, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Stapholocoous
aureus (Shoup, 2011). Chronic rhinosinusitis is caused by infection, allergies, genetics, or
systemic disorders. The inflammatory cells that are triggered are eosinophils (Shoup, 2011).
Argument:
Symptoms of rhinosinusitis are cough, sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, facial pain or
pressure headache, and sore throat (Shoup, 2011). John has some of these symptoms but does
not have a headache or facial pain which is a significant feature of rhinosinusitis. There is really
no connection between rhinosinusitis and asthma or allergies to pollen.

RE: Discussion part 1

Continuation of original post:


The Common Cold (Rhinovirus Infection): The common cold was discovered in 1956
by Dr. Winston Price where he was able to isolate the rhinovirus (Kennedy, Turner,
Braciale, Heymann, & Borish, 2012). Adults experience two to three colds per year and
children experience an average of eight to twelve per year. The virus affects the upper and
lower airways. There is no cure for the common cold, but palliative relief help with
symptoms. The common cold is largely responsible to loss of productivity, high healthcare
costs, and triggering other illnesses (Witek, Ramsey, Carr, & Riker, 2014).
Pathophysiology: The rhinovirus, which is the main virus that causes symptoms of the
common cold, is a single-stranded non-enveloped RNA virus that has over 100 serotypes
(Kennedy et al., 2012). When the RV enters the cell, the viral genome is translated into a
polyprotein, which goes through a process called proteolytic cleavage which produces the
structural and non-structural gene products (Kennedy et al., 2012).
Argument: Symptoms of the common cold are sneezing, headache, malaise, chilliness,
nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, sore throat, and cough. Although this diagnosis could
be a possibility, John does not have many of those symptoms and does not feel malaise.
Seasonal allergy:
Epidemiology: Allergies affect approximately 15-20 percent of the population and has

, increased dramatically in the last 20-30 years. It is a huge hindrance for those affected by
it. The most common cause of allergy symptoms is pollen, molds, and fungi(Middleton,
2016).
Pathophysiology: When an allergen enters the body and invades the immune system, T
helper cells and their mediators begin to respond by attacking this invader (Middleton,
2016). Antigen-presenting cells detect the allergen and then the allergen is absorbed,
processed, and displayed on its surface. The invaded antigen-presenting cell migrates to
the T-lymphocyte which stimulates the B-cell to produce the antibody, IgE. The IgE
attaches itself on the surfaces of mast cells causing an inflammatory mediator such as
histamine (Middleton, 2016).
Argument: John is allergic to pollen which could trigger the symptoms described in the
scenario.
Seasonal Influenza:
Epidemiology: Seasonal outbreaks for influenza in the United States occurs in the winter
months. Globally, this illness has caused about half a million deaths each year (Goodband,
Oakley, Rayner, Toms, & Brostoff, 2014). Influenza causes approximately 7.6 million
working days a year (Goodband et al., 2014). One of the most important steps in the
prevention of influenza is vaccination. Despite the well-known benefits of vaccination,
many people continue to refuse to get vaccinated.
Pathophysiology: The influenza virus is an RNA virus which is surrounded by a viral
envelope containing glycoproteins (Goodband et al., 2014). Because this is an RNA virus
(and not a DNA virus), the influenza genome is susceptible to spontaneous genetic
mutations. These mutations may effect the genes that encode the H and N antibody-
binding sites which in turn reduce the binding of existing antibodies. New viral strains tend
to spread more rapidly.
Argument: Although the influenza virus causes the symptoms that John currently has, this
would be the last diagnosis I feel he would have. The flu causes fever, malaise, and body
aches. John is still playing football, and if he had the flu, he would not feel well enough to
play.
