Osteoarthritis

Most common form arthritis


Disease that affects the joint as a whole because of biological chemical and viscoelastic changes within the joint

Osteoarthritis

Risk facrors: age, female, obesity, genetics, sports, history

Osteoarthritis

Pain, decreased range of motion, tenderness over joint, bony swelling, soft tissue swelling, defkrmitu, instability, crepitus

Osteoarthritis

Lab testing not necessary to confirm diagnosis, may outrule others though


Radiographs, history and physical exam, presence of osteophytes

Osteophytes

Projections of nee cartilage and bone growth that form along joint lines (decreases range of motion and causes pain)

Radiographs

Used to diagnose osteoarthritis (hands, hips, knees, spine) evidence of joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, or cysts and presence of osteocytes means osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis

Goals to decrease pain, improve or maintain joint mobility and avoid toxic drug effects

Osteoarthritis

Nonphamalogical therapy: weight loss, aerobic exercise, physical therapy, muscle strengthen, appropriate footwear


Pharmaolgical therapy: acetaminophen, nsaids, opiod alalgesics


Surgical intervetion: synovectomy

Synovectomy

Used to remove excessive growth of synovical membrane to reduce joint inflammation

Rheumatoid arthritis

Chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by inflammatory process that affects diarthrodial or freely moving joints causing pain and swelling

Rheumatoid arthritis

Joint pain, joint swelling, erythema, morning stiffness and fatigue, synovitis, rheumatoid nodules


Osteopenia, muscle weakness, episcleritis, scleritis, pleuritis, pleural effusion, pericarditis

Rheumatoid nodules

May be formed in subcutaneous tissue are mobile and nontender

Rheumatoid arthritis

Lab testing alone not enough (crp and esr) radiographs, signs and symptoms

Rheumatoid arthritis

Nonphamalogical: education about disease, range of motion exercises, aerobic exercises, physical and occupational therapy, proper nutrition


Pharmaolgical: control inflammation and decrese stiffness, joint pain, synovitis and stiffness


Analgesics, nsaids, glucocorticoids, dmards, biologics


Surgical: joint replacement or fusiom, removal of nodules

Scleroderma

Localized or systemic

Scleroderma

Skin, lungs, heart, kidneys and musculoskeletal


Patches thick skin, itching, dyspnea, cough, pulmonary fibrosis, pericarditis, pericardial effusion, myocardial fibrosis, heart failure, swelling hands, joint pain, muscle pain, fatigue


Raynauds phenomenon, scleroderma renal crisis, pulmonary artery hypertension

Raynauds phenomenon

Vassospasm of small vessles in hands caused by exposure to cold

Scleroderma

Presence of symptoms and serum antibodies

Scleroderma

No single treatment, focus on specific organs involved and symptoms


Systemic steroids (prednisome),immunosuppressants (methotrexate) antihistamines (loratadone),vasodialators (norvasc)

Lupus

Chronic inflammatory disease that can affect virtually any organ system

Lupus

Risk factors: pregnancy, exposure to sun, illness, major surgery, medications, allergies

Lupus

Symptoms are diverse, no pattern, varies greatly


Possible: joint pain, rash, photosensitivy, oral ulcers, dry eyes, dry mouth, hypertension, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, alopecia, chest pain

Lupus

Evidence of symptoms and lab findings (bun, creatine, cbc, crp/esr) four of eleven criteria must be present, lab presense ana: autoimmune no neccessarily this diseade

Lupus

Nonphamalogical: avoid prolonged sun, use sunscreen 50spf, well balanced diet, rest periods, sleep schedule, exercise


Pharmaolgical: based on symptoms, antimalarial (hydroxychloroquine), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants


Surgical: renal transplant or joint replacement

Gout

Monosodium uratic crystals are drposited in joints bone, and soft tissues accompanied by inflammation (hyperuricemia: elevated uric acid level in blood presence prior)

Acute Gout

involves one joint, acufe onset pain, redness swelling

Gout three phases

Acute, intercritical, chronic

Intercritical Gout

Asymptomatic period between attacks

Chronic tophalceous Gout

Repeated attacks of many years leading to production of tophi (uric acid deposits or nodules in joints)

Gout

Combine subjective data and lab data (observing crystals in synovial fluid) podagra

Podagra

Term used to identify gout in furst metatarsophalangeal joint

Gout

Nonphamalogical: weight management, avoid alcohol (beer), splinting of affevted joint


Pharmacological: depends on stage acute: pain relief and reduce inflammation nsaids: indometracin, glucocorticoids intercritical: nsaids and colchicine chronic: uric acid lowering agents allopurinol or febuxostat


Surgical:

Gout

Intense joint pain, tenderness of joint, swelling or redness of joint, warmth over joint, decreased rabge kf motion, presence of tophi

Fibromyalgia

Chronic pain disorder of soft connective tissues characterized by widespread pain and insomnia, fatigue, stiffness, cognitive dysfunction

Fibromyalgia

Fatigue, arthralgia and myalgia, headache, abdomen pain, nonrestorative sleep, anxiety

Fibromyalgia

Labs not necessary

Fibromyalgia

Nonphamalogical: physical therapy, strength training, aerobic exercises, cognitive therapy, self managment, heating pads


Pharmacological: medications alter chemicals in brain, analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, antidepressants, anti seizure


Opioid analgesics not recommended


Secondary immune dysfunction

Acquired immune deficiency occurs when damage is caused by an extrinsic or external environmental factor or agent (hiv, radiation, chemotherapy, malnutrition, burns)

Secondary immune dysfunction

Fever, cough, cloudy urine, hypotension, tachycardia, decreased breath sounds, skin rashes

Secondary immune dysfunction

Prevention, good hand washing, avoid contact people with infection, assess infection

Secondary immune dysfunction

Infection treat with antibiotics, antivirals

Type 1 hypersensitivity

Immunoglobulin e (ige)


First: ige produced attatch mast cels


Second: allergen binds to ige antibodies on mast cell causing degranulation releasing histamine leukotrienes and prostaglandins
