Open (Compound) Fracture
skin is broken
Closed Fracture
skin is not broken
Simple Fracture
single break, maintaining alignment and position
Comminuted Fracture
multiple fractures and bone fragments
Compression Fracture
bone is crushed or collapsesd into small pieces
Compartment Syndrome
edema within one area of compartment of the limb that is between layers of dense connective tissue(fascia)
Sprain
a tear in a ligament
Strain
a tear in a tendon
Lordosis
swayback;curvin inward at the lower back
Kyphosis
hunchback or humpback; abnormally rounded upper back
Scoliosis
s- or c- shaped; sideways curve to the spine; affecting thoracic or lumbar area or both, may crompress heart, lungs, or both
Hemiplegia
paralysis on one side of the body
Paraplegia
paralysis of the lower body half
Quadriplegia
paralysis of trunk and all four limbs
Diplegia
Symmetrical paralysis in any area of the body
SARS
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome; acute respiratory infection, droplet transmission, associated with Covid
Types of Cancer Treatments
radiofrequency ablation (RFA), surgical resection or lobectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, photodynamic therapy
characteristics of thyroid
2 hormones-T3/T4, hormones are released in response to TSH, disorders result from pituitary or thyroid gland dysfunction, Goiter, hyperthyroidism(Graves Disease) , hypothyroidism,
Sliding Hernia
common, portions of stomach and gastroesophageal junction slide up above the diaphragm
Rolling Hernia
aka Paraesophageal Hernia; part of the funus of the stomach moves up through an enlarged or weak hiatus in the diaphragm and may become trapped
Cholelithiasis
formation of gallstones; solid material(calculi) that form in bile
Cholecystitis (bladder)
inflammation of gallbladder and cystic duct
Cholangitis
inflammation usually related to infection of bile ducts
Choledocholithiasis
obstruction of the biliary tract by gallstones
Diverticulum
herniation of mucosa through the muscular layer of colon
Diverticulosis
asymptomatic diverticular disease
Diverticulitis
inflammation of the diverticula
Colorectal Cancer
most malignancies develop from adenomatous polyps, primarily in age 50+,early diagnosis is essential,
Aging on Urinary System
size of kidneys and number of nephrons decrease, GFR and reserve capacity decrease, responsiveness to ADH is decreased 80% of elderly men experience benign prostatic hyperplasia, elderly women often experience incontinence
Cystoscopy
visualizes lower urinary tract; used to perform biopsy or remove kidney stones
Epispadias
urethral opening on ventral or upper surgace of the penis
Hypospadias
urethral opening on dorsal (underside) of the penis
Hydrocele
excessive fluid collects in space between layers of the tunica vaginalis of the scrotum
Torsion of the Testes
testes rotate on teh spermatic cord, compressing arteries and veins; spontaneous or following trauma
Teratogen
any substance or situation that causes a developmental abnormality;virus, smoking, alcohol, radiation, herbal medicaiton
Systolic Pressure
exerted when blood is ejected from ventricles (high); bottom number
Diastolic Pressure
pressure when ventricles relax, BP is altered by cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral resistance to blood flow
Arteriosclerosis
arterial changes, loss of elasticity, lumen gradually narrows, cause of increased BP
Atherosclerosis
atheromas in large arteries; plaques consisting of lipids, calcium, and possible clots
Angina Pectoris
deficit of oxygen to meet myocardial needs; chest pain may occur in different patterns
Myocardia Infraction
heart attack; coronary artery is totally obstructed
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
most common congenital heart defect; opening in the interventricular septum, may very in size and location
Anemia
hemoglobin (protein and iron) deficit; causes a reduction in oxygen trasport
Primary Polycythemia
pylycythemia vera; increased production of erythrocytes and other cells in the bone marrow, neoplastic disorder
Secondary Polycythemia
erythrocytosis; increase in RBCs in response to prolonged hypoxia
Leukemias
group of neoplastic disorders involving WBCs, uncontrolled WBC production in bone or lymph nodes
Cellular Immunity
T-cytotoxic cells directly kill cells w/foreign antigens, both types of specific immunity require T-helper cells to recognize it is forgeign, involves the realease of interleukin-1
Humoral Immunity
antibody mediated; B-cells producing antibodies, T-helper cells activate B-cells by releasing interleukin-2, stimuated B-cells differentiate into plasma cells and memory B-cells
Aging on Lymphatic System
ability to move fluid between the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems does not decrease, number of B-cells in lymphoid tissue will remain relatively stable, number of T-cells decreases, thymus gland shrinks
Hodgkin Lymphoma
initially involves a single lymph node, spreads to adjacent nodes, presence of Reed-Sternberg cells
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
partially caused by HIV infection, multiple node involvement, nonorganized with widespread metastases
Gliding
synovial joint; allow for slinding only ( carpals and tarsals)
Ellipsoid
synovial joint; allow for side to side and back and forth movement (wrist and heal)
Pivot
synovial joint; rotation (Atlas and Axis)
