Pancreatitis Pathophysiology p

>>Causes activation of pancreatic enzymes >>Enzymes auto digest and cause fibrosis -Leads to thrombi and necrosis of tissue >Fat necrosis occurs -Fats bind to calcium Results in hypocalcemia >Necrosis of blood vessels -Fibers in blood vessels are dissolved -Vasodilation starts due to vessel damage -Results in bleeding and hemorrhage

Cholecystitis & Cholelithiasis PATHO

>>Cholecystitis: Inflammation of gallbladder >>Cholelithiasis: gall stones -cause stasis of bile and infection takes over -stagnant bacteria sit and multiply

The early manifestations of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and MS are somewhat similar. Which clinical feature of ALS distinguishes it from MS?

Impairment of respiratory musclesIn ALS, there is progressive muscle atrophy until a flaccid quadriplegia develops. Eventually, there is involvement of the respiratory muscles, which leads to respiratory compromise.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD

Inflammatory disorder characterized by nonreversible, , progressive, airflow obstruction emphysema & chronic bronchitis s/s Cough wheezing diminished breath sounds shortness of breath progressive dyspnea

Pancreatitis Pathophysiology

Inflammatory process in which the pancreatic enzymes autodigest the gland. Normally, pancreatic proenzymes become activated upon release within the duodenum. Pancreatitis results from early activation of pancreatic enzymes, producing autodigestion of the pancreas and surrounding tissues Acinar cells release enzymes resulting in proteolysis, lipolysis and hemorrhage Because the pancreas is located in the retroperitoneal space there is no surrounding capsule to confine the inflammation. Peripancreatic fat necrosis occurs Hemorrhage and dysfunction of the gland accompanies the fat necrosis.

How does plasmapheresis treat MS?

It removes the antibodies from the blood serum, that are attacking the neurons.
