Mesothelioma
malignant tumor in serous membranes, 90% are pleural, exposure to asbestos; spread to pericardium and diaphragm; results in thickening
CC16
clara cells protein is marker of bronchiole damage (COPD/asthma); secretion of protein decreases; serum levels increase because leakage across blood-air barrier
Bronchiectasis
permanent dilation of bronchi, destruction of cartilage and elastic tissue, caused by CF,TV,carcinoma,primary ciliary dyskinesia; in lower lobes
A1-antitrypsin deficiency leading to emphysema
emphysema=permanent enlargement of air spaces distal to terminal bronchiole, narrowing of bronchioles, alveolar macrophages in air spaces; this deficiency causes severe emphysema; from liver, degrades elastin and replaced by CT
artherosclerosis
large and muscular (medium) arteries; accumulation in intima with sm muscle, lipits, CT; fatty streak-macrophages with lipid, T-lymphocytes; fibrofatty plaque-thick fibrous CT
marfan syndrome
death-aortic dissection; fibrillin disorder; faulty tunica media, mitral valve, changes in chordae tendinae
vessel aneurysms
dilation of artery by 50%, weakened vessel wall, artherosclerosis or bacterial/fungal infection; men>55 have abdominal; syphilitic-T.pallidum obliterated vaso vasorum
thrombosis
intravascular mass attached to vessel wall; coagulation factors, rbc, platelets; endothelial cell injury
embolism
detached mass carried by blood
hypertension
multiplication of sm muscle, tunica media increase in thickness, sm m accumulate lipid (narrow lumen), hyperplasia
Aschoff body
lesion of rheumatic myocarditis: degenerated collagen surrounded by lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes; Anitschkow-histiocyte, multinucleated (ribbon), CT of myocardium
Raynaud's phenomenon
reversible ischemia of peripheral arterioles involving fingers and toes; vasospasm; associated with another illness (autoimmune)
Lymphedema
defect in lymph transport bc abnormal/damaged; accumulation of fluid and proteins in ECM; chylothorax (accum of fat); chyle accumulate 75-200 ml/hr
giant cell arteritis (GCA)
inflamm vasculitis affecting med and large arteries; visual loss; inflam of aortic arch; segmental or patchy; related to internal elastic lamina; inflam infiltrate in media of arterial wall; extracranial vertebral, superficial temporal, ophthalmic
high levels of ET-1 (endothelin) gene expression
endothelium-induced vasoconstriction (bc decrease NO); endothelial and sm muscle cells; systemic hypertension
Peptic ulcer
open sores in stomach, sm intestine, esophagus; internal bleeding, peritonitis if penetrates organ wall, worse with empty stomach; bacterial infection or medication; treat with antibiotics/proton-pump inhibitors
pernicious anemia
disruption of RBC in bone marrow bc deficiency in Vit B12; antibodies against H/K ATPase so decrease HCl and lack of intrinsic factor
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
gastrin tumors of pancreatic islets or sm intestine; hyperplasia/hypertrophy; high acid secretion (HCl by parietal); proton-pump inhibitors
gastric reflux
