CHAPTER 25
STUDY GUIDE
| WORD | Definition |
|---|---|
| ANTIGEN | SUBSTANCE THAT IS CAPABLE OF STIMULATING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE |
| HISTAMINE | PRODUCES AN ALLERGIC REACTION |
| NSAID | NONSTEROIDAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS |
| STEROIDS | CHEMICALS PRODUCED BY THE BODY THAT HELPS FIGHT INFLAMMATION AND PAIN |
| VASODILATION | WIDENING OF THE BLOOD VESSELS |
| COX-1 | TAKES CARE OF PROCESSES WHEN PAIN AND DISCOMFORT ARE PRESENT |
| "MOON FACE" | CUSHING'S DISEASE |
| ALPHA-RECEPTORS | LOCATED IN THE SMOOTH MUSCLES OF THE LUNGS |
| BETA-RECEPTORS | LOCATED IN THE HEART |
| LEUKOTRIENES | SUBSTANCES THAT CAUSE THE SMOOTH MUSCLE OF THE BRONCHI TO CONTRACT, CAUSING LABORED BREATHING |
| ANTIHISTAMINE | USED TO DECREASE INFLAMMATION AND IRRITATION FROM ALLERGENS |
| HISTAMINE-1 | FOUND IN THE LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND SKIN |
| HISTAMINE-2 | LOCATED IN THE GI TRACT |
| ALLERGIC REACTION | COUGHING, SNEEZING, WHEEZING, AND RASH |
| LEUKOCYTES | WHITE BLOOD CELL |
| ANTIBODIES | PRODUCED BY B LYMPHOCYTES |
| FIBROGEN | GLOBULIN FOUND IN BLOOD PLASMA |
| CYCLOOXGENASE | PRODUCE AN ENZYME CALLED PROSTAGLANDINS |
| PROSTAGLANDINS | RESPONSIBLE FOR CHEMICAL REACTION THAT CAUSE INFLAMMATION, PAIN, & INCREASE TEMPATURE |
| CHRONIC INFLAMMATION | CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO TEH AFFECTED SITES OR INTERNAL ORGANS |
| ACUTE INFLAMMATION | ONLY LASTS A FEW DAYS |
| CHRONIC PAIN | LASTS FOR 3 MONTHS OR LONGER |
| ACUTE PAIN | PAIN IS SEVERE |
| HENRI LEROUX | FRENCH CHEMIST |
| SALICIN | BITTER GLYCOSIDE FOUND IN THE BARK'S MEDICINAL PROPERTIES |
| REYE'S SYNDROME | CHILDHOOD DISEASE THAT CAUSES VOMITING, LETHARGY, & ENCEPHALOPTHY |
| ANTIINFLAMMATORY | A DRUG THAT REDUCES SWELLING, REDNESS, AND PAIN, & PROMOTES HEALING |
| ANALGESIC | A DRUG THAT RELIEVES PAIN BY REDUCING THE PERCEPTION OF PAIN |
| ANTIPYRETIC | SUBSTANCE THAT REDUCES FEVER |
| GLUCOCORTICOIDS | ESSENTIAL TO THE WELLNESS OF THE BODY |
| BETA-ADRENERGICS | TO DILATE THE BRONCHIAL AIRWAYS |
| SYMPATHOMIMETICS | REDUCE INFLAMMATION OF THE BRONCHI BUT ALSO RELIEVE SPASMS WITH IN THE SMOOTH MUSCLE OF THE AIRWAY |
| CROMOLYN SODIUM | ONLY AGENT CONSIDERED AN ANTIASTHMATIC & ANTIALLERGIC AGENT DF: INHALE SOLUTION, AEROSOL SPRAY, NASAL SOLUTION |
| AERO CHAMBER OR SPACERS | FIT OVER THE END OF THE MOUTH PIECE OF THE INHALER |
| DRUGS USED IN NEBULIZER MACHINE | METAPROTERENOL & ALBUTEROL |
| MEDS. USED TO STABILIZE MAST CELL MEMBRANES | CROMOLYN, ZYRTEC, & ALLEGRA |
| B: ENEADRYL | GN: DIPHENHYDRAMINE (ANTIHISTAMINE) |
| B: CHLOR-TRIMETON | GN: CHLORPHENIRAMINE (ANTIHISTAMINE) |
| B: TAVIST | GN: CLEMASTINE (ANTIHISTAMINE) |
| B: ZYRTEC | GN: CETIRIZINE ( 2ND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINE) |
| B: BAYER | GN: ASPIRIN (NSAID DRUG) |
| B: MOTRIN | GN: IBUPROFEN (NSAID DRUG) |
| B: ALEVE | GN: NAPROXEN (NSAID DRUG) |
| B: CELEBREX | GN: CELECOXIB (COX-2 INHIBITORS) |
| B: VIOXX | GN: ROFECOXIB (COX-2 INHIBITORS) |
| B: ALUVENT | GN: METAPROTERENOL (ASTHMA AGENT) |
| B: AERO BID | GN: FLUNISOLIDE (ASTHMA AGENT) |
| B: FLOVENT | GN: FLUTICASONE (ASTHMA AGENT) |
| B: DELTASONE | GN: PREDNISONE (STEROID AGENT) |
| HYDROCORTISONE | STEROID |
| TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE | STEROID |
| GN: THEOPHYLLINE | ANTIASTHMATICS |
| GN: AMINOPHYLLINE | ANTIASTHMATICS |
| MAST CELLS | CELLS THAT CONTAIN HISTAMINE |
| ANTIHISTAMINES | 2 GENERATIONS OF ANTIHISTAMINES |
| 1ST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINE | CONSIDERED NONSPECIFIC ANTIHISTAMINES; CAN CAUSE SEDATION BECAUSE THE EFFECT ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) IF USED IN HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS; ALSO DECREASE NAUSEA, VOMITION, & MOTION SICKNESS; BIND TO BOTH HISTAMINE 1 & 2 RECEPTDORS |
| 2ND GEMERATOPM ANTDIHISTAMINE | AFFECT HISTAMINE-1 RECEPTORS SPECIFICALLY, THUS SO NOT CAUSE THE SAMAE AMOUT OF SEDATION |
| EPINEPHRINE | SEVERE REACTION THIS DRUG IS GIVEN IN INJECTION OR INHALATION FORM; SIDE AFFECTS INCLUDE: DROWSINESS, DRY MOUTH, SONSTIPATION, URINARY RETENTION, SEDATION & INCREASE IN INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE |
| ALLERGIC REACTION | ANTIHISTAMINES DECREASE THE RELEASE OF HISTAMINES BY BINDING THE ANTIGEN TO THE MAST CELLS |
| 2 WAYS TO BLOCK ALLERGIC REACTION | 1. MAST CELLS ARE PREVENTED FROM RELEASING HISTAMINE 2. HISTAMINE-1 RECEPTORS ARE BLOCKED FROM INTERACTING WITH HISTAMINE |
