LATEST UPDATED VERSION QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
CORRECT
Marasmus - <<<Answer>>>Severe protein and calorie deficiency characterized by low
heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, dull hair, and emaciated appearance.
Kwashiorkor - <<<Answer>>>Severe protein deficiency characterized by hair
discoloration, enlarged liver, and pitting edema.
Protein-calorie malnutrition - <<<Answer>>>Loss of lean tissues and muscle mass
caused by inadequate protein and calorie intake, resulting in skeletal muscle loss and
diarrhea.
Right-sided heart failure - <<<Answer>>>Peripheral edema, jugular vein distention, and
hepatomegaly due to the inability of the right ventricle to adequately pump blood.
Left-sided heart failure - <<<Answer>>>Pulmonary congestion, dyspnea, and
decreased cardiac output due to the inability of the left ventricle to adequately pump
blood.
Diastolic dysfunction - <<<Answer>>>Reduced ability of the heart to fill during diastole,
leading to heart failure; often caused by conditions such as myocardial hypertrophy and
hypertension.
Esophageal varices - <<<Answer>>>Dilated veins in the esophagus due to portal
hypertension, which can lead to life-threatening bleeding.
Thyroid storm - <<<Answer>>>Extreme and life-threatening form of thyrotoxicosis,
characterized by high fever, tachycardia, and severe CNS effects.
Glucocorticoid - <<<Answer>>>Steroid hormone that regulates glucose metabolism and
suppresses the immune response.
Adrenal insufficiency - <<<Answer>>>Condition characterized by decreased production
of adrenal hormones, leading to fatigue, weight loss, and hypoglycemia.
CD4+ TH1 cells - <<<Answer>>>T cells that control and coordinate host defenses
against intracellular pathogens.
Intracellular pathogen infection - <<<Answer>>>Infection caused by pathogens that
reside and replicate within host cells, such as viruses and certain bacteria.
