Body mass index

a measure of body weight relative to height

Type I diabetic patients

cannot produce adequate insulin, less common (5%)

What is ACVD?

an inflammatory disease where coronary arteries thicken in response to chronic injury (not fats and lipids)

An inflammatory thickening of the blood vessel wall triggered by injured endothelial cells is called a/an

atheroma

Coronary heart disease is also called

atherosclerosis

Type II diabetic patients

cannot use the insulin they produce, common, (90-95%)

The entry and presence of bacteria in the bloodstream, a common occurrence in patients with periodontitis, is called

bacteremia

bacteremia

Diabetes and Perio have a

bidirectional relationship

Preterm birth

birth of an infant less than 37 weeks after conception

C-reactive protein (CRP)

blood test used to measure the level of inflammation in the body; may indicate conditions that lead to cardiovascular disease

Aspiration pneumonias may develop when

both A and B. Metabolic control of diabetes is unrelated to aspiration of oral fluids.

aspiration pneumonia

caused by foreign matter that is inhaled into the lungs like saliva; common in nursing homes and those who have difficulty swallowing

CAP

community acquired pneumonia

The presence of infection increases the risk of

delivering a preterm low-birth weight baby

Injured endothelial cells trigger inflammation of the blood vessel wall that leaders to the

development of an atheroma (internal thickening of vessel wall)

Injury of endothelial cells may be caused by all of the following EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?

drinking bottled water

Indirect pathway

in which inflammatory mediators from the periodontal tissues or liver travel via the bloodstream to the fetal-placental unit. Examples of these mediators include prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).

Direct Pathway

in which oral bacteria reach the fetal-placental unit via the bloodstream or via an ascending infection from the vagina. This infection leads to an immune or inflammatory response, resulting in APOs.

Periodontitis-associated atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels are characterized by vascular

inflammation

Periodontal bacteria produce

inflammatory mediators: cytotoxins, proteases and others that migrate

Invasion of blood-born bacteria result in

injury single layer of endothelial cells

Preclampsia

is a pregnancy complication in which the mother experiences high blood pressure, in addition to signs of damage to other organs—often to the kidneys or liver.

The "blood-brain barrier" refers to

junctions between the choroids plexus and capillary endothelial cells in the brain.

Low birth weight

less than 5.5 pounds

Ventilator-associated pneumonias

most often long-term ICU patients, increases in patients who are intubated and get pneumonia in 48 hours or longer after intubation

seven; prostaglandin

Thickening may totally occlude blocking blood supply to a portion of the heart leading to

stroke, MI, disability, or death

What does the presence of bleeding strongly suggest?

sufficient gingival inflammation to cause pocket wall ulcerations that lead to repeated episodes of bacteremia throughout the day
