- Pigmentation
- Irregular distribution of pigments
- Infiltration
- The process of substances passing into and being deposited into a cell, which are normally not there.
- Gross Pathology
- Disease which can be seen with the naked eye
- Intoxification ( Intoxicated Disease)
- disease brought about by excessive intake of some sort of substance
- Occupational Disease
- Disease occurs as a RESULT of UNFAVORABLE WORK CONDITIONS (eg: asbestos, mesothelioma, pulmonary anthrax)
- Surgical Pathology
- (think biopsy) Examination of tissues removed from living patients for the purpose of diagnosis of disease.
- Clinical Pathology
- (use of laboratory technology) analyzing secretions, excretions, any bodily fluids for purposes of diagnosis.
- Exogenous pigmentation
- This pigment occurs in naturally in our body, however is present in an increased /abnormal amount
- amyloidosis
- which example of a histological change in a degeneration disease is most commonly found in the KIDNEY, LIVER, and SPLEEN
- Signs
- Objective; observable - can be measured
- NOSCOMIAL DISEASE
- Hospital acquired disease
- Exacerbating
- increases severity disease
- Deficiency Disease
- Disease brought about by ABSENCE / LACK OF ESSENTIAL MINERALS or VITAMINS
- Hereditary Disease
- Ay disease transmitted from parent to offspring - with GENETIC ORIGIN
- Diagnosis
- Determination of a nature and cause of disease
- Syndrome
- Group of symptoms or signs - usually appear together indicating disease
- FUNCTIONAL Disease
- Disease which has NO IDENTIFIABLE CHARACTERISTIC (lesion)
- Epidemic
- The appearance of infectious disease / condition which attacks many people/ same time / same area.
- Steatosis
- This is a histological change in a degeneration disease, where the cell is retaining more lipids than normal. Etiology commonly - alcoholism. Most common organ affected is liver.
- Pathogenesis
- The manner in which disease develops (the course which disease will take )
- Symptoms
- Subjective; Cannot be measured, what is felt by patient.
- Acute Disease
- Rapid onset, short duration
- Remission (abatement)
- cessation of disease
- doctrine of cellular pathology
- dr. rudolph virchow founded the ...
- FULMINATING Disease
- Rapid, sudden onset, acute - usually FATAL disease
- Febrile Disease
- any disease categorized with FEVER
- INFECTIOUS Disease
- any disease capable of CAUSING INFECTION (eg: tb, common cold)
- Pathology
- The study of disease (not including treatment)
- Physiological Pathology
- Changes of the body brought about by disease
- Idiopathic Disease
- Disease with UNKNOWN ORIGIN. (dont know how & dont know why we get it)
- degeneration
- steatosis is a histological change found in _______________ disease.
- Prognosis
- Predicted outcome of disease. The expected course of disease.
- Congenital Disease
- Disease which exists at birth. Can be due to developmental error or maternal infection. *NO GENETIC ORIGIN*
- degeneration
- amyloidosis is a histological change whicu takes place in a ________________ type of disease
- Cloudy Swelling ( Hydropic Swelling)
- This is histological change in a degeneration disease where the cell is retaining more water than it normally should. Most prevalent in the liver, kidney, and heart.
- Endemic
- Disease which occurs continuously in a specific region. Low mortality rate.
- Lesion
- Any recognizable / clearly visible change in our structure caused by disease
- Exogenous Pigmentation
- This pigment enters the body from the outside. A pigment which is not normally in our body.
- CONTAGIOUS Disease
- Disease which is easily transmitted from PERSON to PERSON.
- Dr. Rudolph Virchow
- father of cellular pathology
- Autopsy
- Determines cause of death. also serves to (1) Advances medical knowledge & research (2) Confirm / Alter clinical treatment (3) Assists in identification of deceased.
- Disease
- Anything which alters any of the bodies functions or structures. can also be classed as any damage done to tissues & organs. Any abnormal physiological function of the body
- ALLERGY
- HYPERSENSITIVE RXN to common / harmless ANTIGEN
- Morbidity Rate
- The number of people sick in specific time frame / specific area
- Pandemic
- Disease affecting majority of a population of a large region or one that is an epidemic at same time in many different parts of the world.
- Mortality Rate
- Ratio of total deaths to total population in specific community over a specific period of time.
- Etiology
- The cause of disease
- steatosis
- this form of degeneration disease is most commonly associated with alcoholism, the primary organ involved is the liver.
- degeneration
- Cloudy Swelling (Hydropic Swelling) is a histological change associated with a f __________disease.
- Disease
- Dynamic series of events which can lead to (1) Recovery (2)Disability (3) Death!!
- Chronic Disease
- Slow onset, long duration
- Prevalance
- number of new & old cases during a specific time in a specific region
- amyloidosis
- This form of histological change found in degeneration disease is described by a buildup of GLYCOPROTEINS, and is often seen in the KIDNEY, LIVER, and SPLEEN
- ORGANIC Disease
- Disease which is EASILY /READILY IDENTIFIABLE.
- Degeneration
- regressive tissue change. Normally reversible. (some"thing" is causing tissue change - once "thing" is removed, tissue will go back to normal
- Forensic Pathology (medical legal)
- Branch of pathology which studies diseases for legal purposes, Usually done by medical examiner
- Sporadic
- Disease which occurs occasionally / in a scatter of instances.
- INFESTATION
- infection / disease with PRESENCE of MACROSCOPIC ORGANISM
- Doctrine of Cellular Pathology
- States - "We get sick because our cells get sick"
- Complications
- Any unfavorable conditions that occur during the course of a disease
- Recurrent Disease
- Disease which recurs
- Iatrogenic Disease
- Disease which results from PHYSICIANS MISDIAGNOSIS
- Histo Pathology (micro pathology)
- the study of tissue / disease which involves the use of a microscope
