Men are more likely to die than women ➢ Types of TBI: ▪ Severity ▪ Location ▪ Mechanisms of injury ➢ Severity of TBI is classified by Glasgow coma scale (CGS) (standardized tool developed for the purpose assessing the LOC in acutely brain-injured patients. To evaluate patient with an altered LO ➢ Glasgow coma scale: Mild score (13-15), Moderate (9-12), severe (8 – below) ➢ Primary injury- initial trauma injury on brain cells - Focal injuries (coup) - Polar injuries (coup contrecoup) - Diffuse injury In addition, as location, Primary Injury can also differentiated by Mechanism of injury - Concussion - Contusion - Intracranial hematoma. Concussion also known as Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) most common for military and athletes. Alterations or LOC≤30 mn but no evidence of brain damage on CT. Symptoms: Headache, n/v, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, cognitive, emotional disturbances Contusion CT or MRI reveals area of Brain Tissue damage (necrosis, laceration, bruising) Intracranial hematoma: Localized collection of blood within the cranium. Three types; Epidural, subdural, subachnoid. Secondary Injury : Body’s response to initial injury may cause more harm than the initial injury. Can cause: Ischemia, hypoxic events, vasogenic/neurogenic edema, and other processes that leads to brain swelling and increased ICP. Treatment: Cardiopulmonary stabilization. Radiologic screening, maintenance of normal body temperature or mild hypothermia, normal PaCO2, normal glucose level and noema intravascular volume recommended. Acutely elevated ICP, mannitol(osmotic diuretic) sedation, hypothermia and mild hyperventilation. ▪ Reperfusion Injury- Definition Reperfusion injury is the secondary injury that occurs after reestablishing blood flow ▪ Increased Cranial Pressure- ICP ▪ ICP is the pressure exerted by the contents of the cranium and normal ranges from 0-15 mmhg The volume of the cranium nerve is made up 3 parts: brain tissue, cerebrospinal, blood Monroe-kellie hypothesis – the relationship between the 3 components of cranium Compliance – the ability to accommodate changes in volume w/o sign. Increase in pressure The most common causes of ICP: stroke, trauma and tumors ▪ Most sensitive indicator of altered brain function? A change in Level of consciousness LOC is one of the most sensitive indicators of altered brain function ▪ Assessment of the brainstem function- How do you assess it?

Lewy bodies are cytoplasmic inclusions are found in the surviving neurons. ▪ GERD signs and symptoms Heartburn Chest pain Regurgitation Epigastric pain Dry cough Hoarseness in the morning Esapheogeal strictures with Gerd ▪ Multiple Sclerosis- Structures effected by the demyelination? Chronic demyelinating disease of the CNS – sign disability in young adults Autoimmune disorder that results in inflammation and scarring of the myelin sheaths covering nerves. Age onset (20-50 yr) 2 -3x more common in women vs men In MS, the demyelination of nerves can happen anwhere in the CNS. Structures most frequently affected are the optic nerves, the oculomotor nerves, the corticospinal, cerebellar, and posterior column system. Myelin facilitates nerve conduction. So the inflammation with MS slow or interrupt the conduction of nerve impulses. ▪ Spinal Cord Injuries- major mechanisms of injury? A problem of the young Male 3-4x risk – weekends/summer months Motor vehicle crashes- highest number of sci 2) violent gun shot wounds, falls, recreational accident The major Mechanisms of injury are hyperflexion, hyperextension and compression Flexion injury with tearing of the posterior ligaments and dislocation is the most unstable injury and is aften associated with severe neurologic deficits Hyperextension injury is the most common S/S complete loss of function below the level of injury , Spinal shock (a few hrs) Flaccid paralysis of all skeletal muscles. Loss of all spinal reflexes, loss of pain, proprioception and other sensations, bowel and bladder dysfunction with paralytic ileus, loss of thermoregulation.

Asthma is a lung disease characterized by: - airway obstruction that is reversible (to some patients) - airway inflammation - increased airway reactivity to a variety of stimuli Mast cell release are IgE (immunoglobin E) mediated for both extrinsic and intrinsic asthma. Extrinsic Asthma: Allergies, family hx of the disease. Positive reaction to environmental triggers. Intrinsic Asthma: Respiratory Tract infections and psychological factors(harder to treat) ▪ Exercise-Induced Asthma is due to? Exercise-induced asthma is due to Running, jogging, bicycling. Bronchospasm occurs within 3 min after exercise and usually resolve in 60 minute. ▪ Acute and Chronic Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the trachea and bronchi . 80% of the 12 mil cases per yr in UD. o Influenza Virus A or B o Parainfluenza Virus o respiratory syncytial virus o Coronavirus o Rhinovirus o Coxsackie virus o Adenovirus o Streptococcus pneumoniae o Hemophilus influenza o Mycoplasma o Moraxella o Chlamydia pneumoniae (heat, smoke inhalation, inhalation of irritant chemicals) Risk factors: smokers, young children, elderly -winter months) Pathogenesis: The airways become inflamed and narrowed from capillary dilation, swelling from exudation of fluid, infiltration with inflammatory cells. S/S mild and self-limiting: - low-grade fever - substernal chest discomfort - sore throat - postnasal drip - fatigue Associated inflammation of the larynx and trachea produces croup syndrome Diagnosis: Clinical presentation- onset of the cough. Treatment: Antibiotic therapy for bacterial infection Viral infection resolved spontaneously in most normal healthy person Primary goal is symptom management with antitussive agents – beta-2 agonists and bronchodilatoes Codeine-containing medication are helpful Non-pharmacologic: increase fluid intake, avoid smoke, use vaporizer in bedroom Chronic Bronchitis: Major causes of chronic bronchitis are: - Cigarette smoking (90 %) - Repeated airway infections - Genetic predisposition - Inhalation of physical or chemical irritants Chronic Bronchitis: Type B COPD Diagnosed: Symptomatically by hypersecretion of bronchial mucus and a chronic or recurrent productive cough of more than 3 months duration and occurring each year for 2 or more successice yes in patient. Airway obstruction is persistent and irreversible in patients with chronic brochitis and emphysema. 3:1 ratio of annual cases of chronic bronchitis to emphysema. Pathogenesis: Chronic inflammation and swelling of the bronchial mucosa resulting in scarring, increased fibrosis of the mucous membrane, hyperplasia of bronchial mucous glands and globet cells, hypertrophy of bronchial wall thickness which cause (potentiates) obstruction to airways. Neutrophil activity cause inflammation. Interleukin-8 levels are elevated. CD8 T-lymphocyte levels are elevated. Two bacteria is involved with chronic bronchitis: H. influenza and S.Pneumoniae The chronic bronchitis patient appear as the blue bloater: Oxygen desaturation (cyanosis) and edmea associated with right-sided heart failure. S/S of Chronic Bronchitis: - Overweight (1:2 male to female ratio) - 30s and 40s - SOB (shortness of breath) on exertion - Excessive amounts of sputum (mixture of saliva and mucus) most severe in the am - Chronic cough - Excess of body fluids( edema, pypervolemia) - Hx of smoking - Complaints of chills - Malaise - Muscle aches - Fatigue - Loss of libido - Insomnia End-stage of Chronic Bronchitis, Patient has - Right-side heart failure - Distended neck veins - Right ventricular heave - Right ventricular gallop - Peripheral edema - Hypoxia- pulmonary hypertension - Cyanosis Diagnosis: Chest radiography, pulmonary functions tests, Elevated PaCO2 and decreased PaO2 (below 65 mmhg) Severe Chronic Bronchitis: Physical Exam: Scattered crackles, rhonchi, wheezes, jugular vein distension, clubbing, pedal and ankle edema Treatment: Because Bronchitis and Emphysema has similar therapy 1- Block the progression of the disease 2- Return the patient to optimal respiratory function 3- Return the patient to usual activities of daily living Inhaled B-2 agonists Inhaled anticholinergic brichodilatoes Cough suppressants Antimicrobial agents for infection Inhaled or oral cortisosteroids for acute exacerbations Low-dose of Oxygen therapy for patient with Pao2 less than 55 mmhg Mechanical ventilation Home oxygen therapy Smoking cessation Emphysema 1 Type A COPD – destructive changes of the alveolar walls and abnormal enlargement of the distal air sacs. Causes: smoking, air pollution, occupations (Welding, mining, working with asbestos), ∞-1 antitrypsin deficiency (1%). Develop over a long period Person over 50 Cigarette smoking in excess of 70 pack -years Pathogenesis: Pathologic changes leading to alveolar destruction are associated with the released of proteolytic enxymes from inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. How does smoking causes alveolar damages? 2 ways: - Leads to inflammation in the lung tissue (parenchyma) - It inactivates ∞-1 antitrypsin which would usually protect the lunc parenchyma. S/S of patients with emphysema - Exertional dyspnea - Thin person over 55 years - Increased SOB for past 3+4 yrs - Increase with women who smoke - Use of accessory muscles to breathe - Progressive dyspnea - Pursed-lip breathing - Minimal Cough - Barrel chest -Overinflation – increase lung volume - Digital clubbing - At RISK: Pneumothorax, chest pain on the affected side, dyspnea Late: Major symptom is dyspnea on exertion.

The concentration of K, Mg, Ca is higher inside cells than fluids outsise of cells. Total calcim ions content concentration is higher inside cells, intracellular calcium is bound to other molecules. The concentration of active ionized Ca ions is higher in the extracellular fluids. The cells and bones are called electrolyte pools as they serve as important reservoir of Ca, K, Mg. Distribution of electrolytes between the extracellular fluid / the electrolyte polls is influenced by hormones (epinephrine – K ions) (Isulin – K and Ph ions) and PTH (calcium ions) PG 531 Electrolyte Distribution ▪ Anemia Anemia is a deficit of red cell ➢ _- Low oxygen-carrying capacity leads to hypoxia. ● Opposite of anemia: polycythemia ➢ Excess of red cells ➢ Increases blood viscosity and volume ● Relative anemia—normal total red cell mass with disturbances in regulation of plasma volume ● Absolute anemia—actual decrease in numbers of red cells ➢ Decreased production ➢ Increased destruction ▪ Hormone that Kidney’s secrete ▪ • The kidney secretes two important endocrine hormones: erythropoietin, a growth factor for red blood cells (RBCs), and active vitamin D, a necessary cofactor for calcium absorption from the intestine. ▪ • In chronic kidney disease, impaired production of these hormones results in anemia and osteodystrophy. ▪ Definition of Polycythemia Red cells are present in excess increasing blood viscosity which turns cause hypertension. 3 Types of polycythemia: - Polycythemia vera- neoplastic transform bones marrow - Secondary Polycythemia – chrnic hypoxemia (over production of erythropoietin) - Relative polycythemia ▪ Thrombocytopenia is caused by - Decreased platelet production o Folate/b12 deficiency o Radiation therapy o Chemotherapy o Drugs (ETOH, Thiazides, phenytoin) o Aplastic anemia o Cancer in bone narrow - Decreased platelet survival o Drugs (Thiazides, digoxin, heparin, furosemide, certain antibiotics o Mechanical prosthetic heart valves o Viral and bacterial infections o Circulating immune complexes o Increased destruction in the spleen o Disseminated intravascular coagulation - Splenic Sequestration (pooling) o Splenomegaly o Hypothermia - Platelet dilution o Massive transfusion with blood stored more than 24 hrs Thronmocytopenia is caused by Generalized bleeding ▪ Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)- What is it? And How to treat it? Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a acquired hemorrhagic syndrome in which both clotting and bleeding occur simultaneously. Treatment: removal or correction of the underlying cause and support of major organ. - Replacement of depleted clotting factors with fresh frozen plasma - Packed red blood cells, platelets - Cryoprecipitate - Antifibrinolytics (aminocaproic acid) may be used if life-theating hemorrhage - Heparin therapy to stop thrombin formation - ▪ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) - diagnosis is by identifying which chromosome abnormality?

CHD cause 1 in 6 death in UD. _ (dysrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure) Ethiology: Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries is the source od nearly all SHD Risk factors: Family Hx, Abd lipid levels, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity) ▪ Definition of Atherosclerotic Plaques They are plaques that are from injury to the coronary artery endothelium and they are filled with large lipid core, fragiles and prone to ruptures. ▪ Myocardial Ischemia- What is it It is when blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery by a buildup of plaques (artherosclerosis) If plaques ruptured, you can have a heart attack (myocardial infarction) ▪ Acute Coronary Syndrome Risk : Smoking, Fam Hx, Obesity, Lifestyle sedentaty, diabetes, poor diets, lipids Up S/S ; MI Chest pain (more severe than typical angina) (patient might say elephant sitting on chest) Chest pain that may radiate to the arm shoulder , jaw and back N/V Diaphoresis (sweating) SOB (dyspnea) Etiology: Plaqu rupture with thrombus development Unstable Angina – Occlusion is partial With MI- Occlusion is complete Treatment: Decrease myocardial oxygen demand – increase myocardial oxygen supply Monitor and manage complications Diagnosis : EKG and Biomakers ▪ Definition of Unstable Angina Pectoris ▪ Chest pain associated with intermittent myocardial ischmia (Burning, crushing, squeezing, choking, or referred pain) - Result from inefficient cardiac pumpin (resultant pulmonary congestion and SOB) ▪ Condition in which your heart doens;t get enough blood flow and oxygen. May lead to an heart attack. Angina is a type of chest discomfoer caused by a poor blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary of the heart muscle (Myocardium) ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ What is reperfusion therapy ▪ Left sided heart failure ▪ Right sided heart failure ▪ Medication management for Systolic Heart Failure ▪ Effects of Right Sided Heart Failure ▪ MI- Signs and symptoms ▪ Shock • Shock represents a diverse group of life-threatening circulatory conditions. The common factor among all types of shock is hypoperfusion and impaired cellular oxygen utilization. Inadequate cellular oxygenation may result from decreased cardiac output, maldistribution of blood flow, or reduced blood oxygen content. • • During the compensatory stage of shock, homeostatic mechanisms are sufficient to maintain adequate tissue perfusion despite a reduction in cardiac output. Manifestations of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation are an elevated heart rate, increased myocardial stimulation, bronchodilation, vasoconstriction, cool clammy skin, dilated pupils, and decreased urine output. Blood pressure is maintained even though cardiac output has fallen. • • During the progressive stage of shock, compensatory mechanisms begin to fail, and hypotension and progressive tissue hypoxia result. Shift of cells to anaerobic metabolism results in lactate production and metabolic acidosis. A lack of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production leads to cellular swelling, dysfunction, and death. Generation of oxygen free radicals, release of inflammatory cytokines, and activation of the clotting cascade lead to further cellular and organ dysfunction. ▪ Cardiogenic Shock ▪ Cardiogenic shock is usually a result of severe ventricular dysfunction associated with myocardial infarction. Other causes include cardiomyopathy, ventricular rupture, and congenital heart defects. ▪ • Diagnostic features of cardiogenic shock include decreased cardiac output as a result of left ventricular dysfunction, along with elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, S3 heart sounds, and pulmonary edema. Sympathetic activation leads to an increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, and a narrow pulse pressure. ▪ • Low cardiac output leads to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Tissues extract a greater percentage of oxygen from the delivered blood, which leads to reduced Svo2. ▪ • Therapy is aimed at improving cardiac output and myocardial oxygen delivery while reducing cardiac workload. Pharmacologic treatment often includes the use of inotropic agents, afterload-reducing agents (e.g., vasodilators), and preload-reducing agents such as nitrates and diuretics. Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation may be used to reduce afterload and improve coronary artery perfusion. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) may be used for longer-term circulatory support, whereas heart transplantation provides definitive treatment. ▪ ▪ Obstructive Shock ▪ Obstructive shock results from mechanical obstructions that prevent effective cardiac filling and stroke volume. ▪ • Pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, and tension pneumothorax are common causes of obstructive shock. ▪ • Prompt management of the underlying obstruction is necessary to prevent cardiovascular collapse. ▪ Hypovolemic Shock • Hypovolemic shock results from inadequate circulating blood volume precipitated by hemorrhage, burns, dehydration, or leakage of fluid into interstitial spaces. • • The classic features of hypovolemic shock are the result of low cardiac output and low intracardiac pressures. Manifestations are due primarily to sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation: elevated heart rate, vasoconstriction, and increased myocardial contractility. • • The severity of symptoms of hemorrhagic shock correlates with the amount of blood loss; however, there is significant variation in the clinical presentation of hypovolemic and hemorrhagic shock, and careful assessment is required to diagnose it in the early stages. • • Therapy for hypovolemic shock is aimed at fluid replacement and control of the source of volume loss. Colloids, isotonic crystalloids, and blood products may be used as replacement fluids. ▪ Anaphylactic Shock Anaphylactic shock is a result of excessive mast cell degranulation in response to antigen. Mast cell degranulation usually is mediated by IgE antibodies. Release of vasodilatory mediators, such as histamine, into the circulation by mast cells results in severe hypotension. Urticaria, bronchoconstriction, stridor, wheezing, and itching are usually present. Treatment includes maintenance of airway patency and the use of epinephrine, antihistamines, vasopressors, and fluids to restore blood pressure. ▪ Septic Shock ▪ Septic shock results from a severe systemic inflammatory response to infection. Gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and fungal infections are common causes of septic shock. In gram-negative shock, endotoxins in bacterial cell walls stimulate massive immune system activation. Septic shock from any organism is characterized by release of large numbers of immune mediators (e.g., cytokines) resulting in widespread inflammation. The clotting cascade, complement system, and kinin system are activated as part of the immune response. ▪ • Widespread inflammation leads to profound peripheral vasodilation with hypotension, maldistribution of blood flow with cellular hypoxia, and increased capillary permeability with edema formation. ▪ • Initially, septic shock is characterized by abnormally high cardiac output resulting from immune- mediated vasodilation and sympathetic activation of the heart. The patient is usually febrile, pink, and warm. Even though cardiac output is high, cellular hypoxia is present because of maldistribution of blood flow. Reduced cellular oxygen utilization is manifested as a high Svo2. ▪ ▪ Goal of treating sepsis is Treatment for sepsis is aimed to improve the distribution of blood flow and managing infection with antibiotics. Administration of fluid and drugs to increase cardiac and vascular perfomance to improve blood flow ▪ Cancer and its ability to metastasize unpredictable- does not follow cellular functions rules Malignant cells produced specialized enzymes and receptors to enable them to escape their tissue of origin and metastize. The spread generally occurs by way of bloodstream or lyphatics. Tumor cells lodge in the capillary beds of the organs that drain them Some cancer are prone to metastize: Breast, lung, bone, colon. ▪ CVA ▪ Osteoporosis The most common metabolic bone disease (10 mil 50+ in Us) Happens when rate of bone resorption is greater thatn rate of bone formation and oastoblastic and osteoclastic balance is disrupted Bone mineral density is greater or equal to 2.5 standard Risk factor: age, corticosteroid use, Hx of Rheumatoid arthritis, Fam Hx, estrogen level. Family Hx is a major risk factor After menopause. The rapid of normal bone loss develop rapidly so estrogen deficiency increase the risk of osteoporosis Other risk: Small frame, Caucasian or Asian, high dose of thyroid, diet low on calcium and vitamin D, physical inactivity. Smoking or increase alcohol intake/ Patient with chronic renal function who have abnormal parathyroid function. Cushing syndrome,. Hyperthyroidisms. Anorexia nervosa. COPD, Type 1 diabetes. Celiac disease, lupus. Cancer Rheumatoid Arthritis. S/S: often asymptomatic until bone fracture Shortened stature muscle wasting or spasms of back muscles/difficulty bending Stooped posture Bone that breaks more easily than expected C/O of impaired breathing Complication: Fall risk (spine or hip fractures), disability and increased risk of death Treatment: Good nutrition (Protein) Moderate to regular exercise (walking, riding stationary bicycle) Calcium (1000-1500 mg daily) Vitamin D to maintain bone mass (30 mg/mL dihydroxyvitamin D) Biphosphonates ▪ Passive Immunity ▪ Passive immunity involves the transfer of plasma containing preformed antibodies agains a specific antigen from a protected or immunized person to an unprotected or nonummunized person. ▪ Provide immediate but temporary protection Needs: 1) when B-cell immunodefiency 2) highly susceptive person are exposed to disease without active immunization 3) antibody injection - Mom to fetus (IgG crass the placental barrier) - Newborn receive IgA through Breast milk - Serotherapy ) Immunization of anibodies to unprotected person ▪ Immunoglobulin involved allergic hypersensitivity reactions In the majority of cases the antibody typically responsible is IgE isotype (IgE -Asthma) ▪ Clinical indicator of Acute Blood Loss- Orthostatic hypotension Acute Blood Loss Anemia – present after trauma or secondary to disease.
