QuestionAnswer
Cushing's syndrome state of hypercortisolism & hyperaldosterinism caused by exogenous esteroids, & excess ACTH "pituitary tumor" Increased hyperglycemia due to cortisol, S&S of type II diabetes Cushinoid appareance, weigh gain, risk atherosclerosis
Sequela of hypercortisolism Increased glyconolysis & gluconeogenesis Cushinoid apareance Abnormal protein metabolism bone cell break down interruption of arachinoid pathway peptic ulcer ez bleeding vasoconstriction depressed inmunocyte function
Sequelae of hyperaldosteronism Increased H2O retention Hypokalemia hirsutism
Diagnosis of cushing's syndrome draw cortisol levels at different times at day
Treatment of cushing's syndrome withdraw or decrease exogenous esteroids Fix pituitary or adrenal tumor
Addison's disease State of hypocortisolism & hypoaldosteronism Caused by autoinmune attack to adrenal gland or hypopituitarism
sequelae of hypocortisolism hypoglycemia fatigue, anorexia, n,v,d,
Sequelae of hypoaldosteronism increased excretion of Na and H2O, If severe hypotension ADDISONIAN CRISIS
addisonian crisis severe dehydration & hypotension due to hypoaldosteronism
DM Diabetes mellitus Hyperglycemia & glucosuria 3 P's polyurea polydipsia polyphagia two fasting bloww sugar levels above 126 keep A1C less than 7% normal is 4%
Type I diabetes autoantibodies destroy pancreatic tissue NO INSULIN PRODUCTION No cellular energy source metabolic acidosis acetone breath kussmaul respiration diabetic coma is a extreme state "unconcious" Treatment is insulin daily
Type II diabetes Increased fat cell is body cause resistance to insulin hyperinsulinemia b/c pancreas produce more insulin until B-cells run out HHNK: hyperglycemis-hyperosmolar-nonketotic state extreme state is diabetic coma treatment is weigh loss, drugs
Long term problems with diabetes mellitus angiopathy macroangiopathy microangiopathy neuropathy phagocity damage from flucose toxicity
microangiopathy damage to small vessels causes diabetis retinopathy Blurred vission blindess kidney arteriole leading to renal failure ez bruising
macroangiopathy damage to medium and large vessels lead to stroke CAD aneurysm PAD
NEuropathy due to angiopathic ischemia to nerves plus direct toxicity of glucose peripheral neuropathy: lead to high risk of trauma autonomis neuropathy: SILENT MI, gastroparesis bledder control problems
Metabolic syndrome cluster condition that increase risk for heart dz, type II diabetes, high LDL & low HDL, HTN, abdominal obesity
blood sugar levels 70 to 110
Causes of hypoglycemia decreased food intake & other nutritional factors, too much antidiabetic medication
Tx of hypoglycemia orange juice, sugar, IV dextrose, Glucagon
Insulin shock extreme state of hypoglycemia, "hypoglycemic coma" More dangerous than diabetic extreme state
Atherosclerosis fat deposits in blood vessel making plaques
arteriosclerosis stiffen thicken arteries due to HTN
Intermitent caudation ischemic pain in the leg due to bad blood perfusion
Aneurysm outpouching of arterial walls due to stiff non compliant arteries HTN
A-fib chaotic impulses from the atria can produce emboli
Virchow's triad 3 risk factor to get VTE Venous stasis Injury to lining of vein hypercoagulability
Venous disorders produce peripheral edema, DVT and PE
Diagnosis of HF BNP level. The more BNP the more HF there is
Left HF Can't pump high afterload high preload poor perfusion pulmonary edema
Right HF Cant pump high afterload high preload peripheral venous congetion EDEMA
Cor pulmonale right HF that results from increased pulmonary resistance
Cardiogenic shock shock caused by heart problem, Tx decrease afterload, and increase contractility
restrictive lung disease cant get air into blood V cant get blood to alveoli Q Pneumotorax: lung collapse
atelectasis seen in pneumonia and any situation of shallow breathing
Pulmonaru embolus restrictive problem that cant get blood to alveoli resulting in high V/Q ratio
Obstructive dz peak flow test is lower than normal cant get air out of lungs
Asthma & emphysema mild respiratory alkalosis
chronic bronchitis chronic respiratory acidosis
Asthma genetic predisposition allergy to enviromental allergens narrowed airways wheezing upon exhalation
Emphysema COPD cigarette smoke irritants large hyperinflated stiff lungs lost of elastic recoil Pink puffer thin barrel chest resp alkalosis
Chronic Bronchitis COPD cigarette smoke irritants cant get air our of lungs patient stays cyanotic "blue" Cor pulmonae respiratory acidosis

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
