Pathology at First Glance
Homeostasis: internal stability of the body
Pathology: abnormal condition causing measurable changes in structure and function
Pathogenesis: development of disease in stages

Pathology at First Glance (cont’d.)
Systemic health: Internal equilibrium
Disease state: Inability to adapt to internal/external stressors or challenges
Syndrome: Defined collection of signs and symptoms that characterize a condition

Pathology at First Glance (cont’d.)
Signs• Abnormal objective findings• Examples: redness, swelling, purulent discharge,
fever
Symptoms• Subjective patient reports• Examples: difficulty swallowing, pain, fatigue,
headache

Pathology at First Glance (cont’d.)
Acute Illness• onset is usually abrupt • symptoms present themselves over hours to days• duration brief (<6 months)
Chronic Illness• onset is slower• symptoms persist from acute/subacute phases• duration indefinite (> 6 months)

Mechanisms of Disease
Genetic Diseases
Genetic mutations: changes in the genetic code that:– are passed from one generation to the next– may occur spontaneously– may be caused by agents that disrupt the normal
DNA sequence

Developmental Characteristics
• Developmental Process– Fertilization and Conception– Prenatal stages • embryonic – initial 2 months of gestation• fetal – remainder of gestation until birth
Perinatal: during the birth processPostnatal (neonatal): up to one month after
birth

Congenital Anomalies
• Abnormal developmental process– Causes: genetic, non-genetic, or both– Results: physical or mental defects– May be present at birth, diagnosed later– Often occur in multiple

Methods of Prenatal Diagnosis
Amniocentesis– Take amniotic fluid sample between 15 and 18
weeks gestation.– Test cells for chromosomal abnormalities or
presence of abnormal substances.
Ultrasound– Identify spine and skull abnormalities in early
pregnancy.

Prematurity• Birth before 37 weeks gestation• Low weight (less than 5 pounds, 8
ounces)• Incomplete development of organ
systems • Leading cause of death in neonatal
period • High-risk infants
Case Study• Sarah, age 68, was recently widowed after 40
years of marriage. She reports that since her husband died she has started to smoke again. She also reports difficulty sleeping, more pain from her rheumatoid arthritis, and episodes of shortness of breath. She begins to cry when asked about her usual daily activities and hobbies. She has stopped taking her blood pressure medication over the last month and avoids discussing her financial status. What risk factors are present that may predispose her to an altered health status?

Case Study• The physician has just given Linda a new
prescription for relief of her arthritis pain. She has many questions about the medication and how it may affect her. What information should be included in her patient teaching and who should conduct the patient teaching?

Case Study• Advances in technology may help infants
with early gestational age and/or low birth weight survive. Good prenatal care improves their chances, but there are still risks for infants born prematurely. How would you describe, under the direction of the physician, the health risks and special care ‑challenges preterm infants face that would help expectant parents understand the importance of good prenatal care?

Case Study• • You have never been immunized for varicella
(chickenpox), and you cannot remember having the disease as a child. You are assigned to work in a pediatric clinic today and have been asked to take a 6 year old to ‑ ‑an examination room. The child has had fever, headache, and chest rash for two days. What should you do?

Case Study• You are asked to place an HIV
positive patient in an exam room and obtain vital signs. The patient brings into the exam room a requested urine specimen. What infection control precautions should you be using in this situation?
