LESSON № 1

 

Theme 1. General illness development conformities to natural laws. Etiology and pathogenesis.

Theme 2. Heredity role in human pathology

 

Aim: To be able analyse lawfullness arise, development and diseases consequences. To study in the experiment action of decreased atmospheric pressure upon organism. To get acquainted with study and diagnostic methods of hereditary diseases.

 

Professional orientation of students. In everyday practical activity doctor always takes into account of illness nature and peculiarities of it course. This important for planning of prophylactic arrangements, diagnosis raising, selection of medical drugs. In illness is distinguished two process : а) damage property illness; b) physiological measure against illness, that is complex of protective compensatory-adaptation reactions. The protective reactions perform with nervous, endocrine, immune and other systems. With their help an organism resists to pathogenic factors and restores broken functions. We can train, to heighten these reactions, to make them more powerful and firm. For this make use of special loadings, tempering, physiotherapy procedures. By protective reactions one can be governed also by the medium of medical drugs. Aim of such arrangements – to raise individual organism resistance to action of harmful agents. During continuous evolution organism has adapted to normal atmospheric pressure. But in conditions of modern life man more often encounters with action of changed atmospheric pressure. This is related to production activity (fliers, cosmonauts, divers), sport (mountaineering). Action of changed atmospheric pressure upon organism is used in medicine for treatment (barotherapy). It is important to know, that durin rapid changing of atmospheric pressure complicated symptomocomplex occurs which is called barotrauma. In modern of contemporary war barotrauma can have wide spread owing to influence of shock wave.

Hereditary factors play an essential role in human pathology. Now is known about 2000 diverse hereditary diseases are known. 4 % of new-born suffer from these or other genetically conditioned defects. This testifies importance of ability to participate in exposure methods of hereditary diseases, study ways of their prophylaxіs and cure principles. Heredity pathology plays an important role in development mechanisms of such hereditary conditioned diseases, as atherosclerosis, essential hypertension, rheumatism, diabetes mellitus, gout.

Pulse rate achieved to 100 beats for a minute. Dizziness, headache lowering of mood and appetite, meteorism were observed.

Barr body in cells of mouth mucous membrane was not determined. For what disease is it typical?        A. Klinefelter’s syndrome B. Turner’s syndrome C. Х-trisomy syndrome D. Down’s illness Е. Pathau’s syndrome
