INTRO TO PATHOLOGY
Study of disease from a molecular level to effects on individual
Goal is the identification of causes and prevention and treatment
When cells are exposed to noxious physical, chemical they become injured
cells respond to stimuli by getting bigger, smaller, proliferate or die
CHARACTERISTICS OF DISEASE
AETIOLOGY - cause
PATHOGENISIS - mechanism causing disease
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS - functional feature
COMPLICATIONS/SEQUALE -systemic consequences
PROGNOSIS - anticipated course ie cure or fate
EPIDEMIOLOGY - population distrubution
AETIOLOGY
Genetic abnormalities
Infective agent - bacteria, virus, fungi
Chemicals, Radiation, Mechanical trauma
Multifactorial causes
DISEASE OF UNKNOWN CAUSE
Classified as idiopathic, spontaneous, cryptogenic
Arising from the body its self - process inside the body
HOST PREDISPOSITION
Nutritional status, genetic, pre-existing immunity
PATHOGENISIS
Common pathways:
INFLAMMATION: tissue injury response to harmful stimuli
DEGENERATION:deterioration to cells in response to agents
CARCINOGENISIS:agents resulting in tumour formation
IMMUNE REACTIONS
LATENT INTERVALS AND INCUBATION PERIOD
LATENT: 2/3 decades - carcinogenisis
INCUBATION:days/weeks infectious bacteria or virus
STRUCTURAL/FUNCTIONAL MANIFESTATIONS
Cause of disease produces clinical signs and symptoms
PATHOLOGICAL:are structural abnormalities evident through microscope
STRUCTURAL
TUMOURS:displace and destroy surrounding tissue
DEPOSITION OF ABNORMAL MATERIAL:amylodosis
ABNORMALLY SITED TISSUE: metastasis (spread)
LOSS OF TISSUE: ulcer or in an organ - infarction
OBSTRUCTION:asthma, vessel
RUPTURE OF HOLOW TUBE:aneurysm, perforation
FUNCTIONAL
EXCESSIVE SECRETION:of cell product ie hormone, mucus
INSUFFICIENT SECRETION:diabetes (insulin)
IMPAIRED NERVE FUNCTION:neuropathy
IMPAIRED MUSCLE FUNCTION:myopathy
