✓ ~: explains how the disease process evolves. Sequence of cellular and tissue events that
take place from the time of initial contact with an etiologic agent until the ultimate
expression of a disease.
Morphology
✓ ~: Refers to the fundamental structure or form of cells or tissues. Changes are concerned
with both the gross anatomic and microscopic changes that are characteristic of a
disease.
Histology
✓ ~: Deals with the study of the cells and extracellular matrix of body tissues. Sections play
an important role in the diagnosis of many types of cancers.
Clinical Manifestation
✓ ~: make it evident that the person is sick (fever)
Diagnosis
✓ ~: Designation as to the nature or cause of a health problem. Requires a careful history,
physical examination, and diagnostic tests.
Clinical Course
, <<<<< Elscores <<<<<>>>>> 19/08/2024 20:17>>>>>
✓ ~: Describes the evolution of a disease. A disease can have an acute, subacute, or
chronic course. Acute disorder is relatively severe, but self-limiting. Chronic disease
implies a continuous, long-term process. Subacute disease is an intermediate or between
acute and chronic; not as severe as an acute disease and not as prolonged as a chronic
disease.
Primary Prevention
✓ ~: directed at keeping disease from occurring by removing risk factors (vaccination)
Secondary Prevention
✓ ~: detects disease early when it is still asymptomatic and treatment measures can effect
a cure or stop the disease from progressing (pap smear)
Reliability
✓ ~: the extent to which an observation, when repeated, gives the same result
Validity
✓ ~: the extent to which a measurement tool measures what it is intended to measure
Sensitivity
✓ ~: determining the likelihood or how well the test or observation identifies people with a
disease
Specificity
✓ ~: determining the likelihood or how well the test or observation identifies people without
a disease

Predictive value
✓ ~: the extent to which an observation or test result is able to predict the presence of a
given disease or condition
Incidence
✓ ~: the number of new cases arising in a population at risk during a specified time
Prevalence
✓ ~: a measure of existing disease in a population at a given point in time
Morbidity
✓ ~: describes the effects an illness has on a person's life
Mortality
✓ ~: pertains to the causes of death in a given population
Tertiary Prevention
✓ ~: directed at clinical interventions that prevent further deterioration or reduce the
complications of a disease that is already present (antibiotic)
Hyperplasia
✓ ~: refers to an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue. It occurs in tissues
with cells that are capable of mitotic division, such as the epidermis, intestinal epithelium,
and glandular tissue.

Physiologic Hyperplasia
✓ ~: hormonal (pregnancy) and compensatory (partial removal of organ)
Hormonal Physiologic Hyperplasia
✓ ~: breast and uterine enlargement during pregnancy
Compensatory Physiologic Hyperplasia
✓ ~: regeneration of liver after partial hepatectomy
nonphysiologic (pathologic) hyperplasia
✓ ~: due to excessive hormonal stimulation or the effects of growth factors on target
tissues. Example: excessive estrogen production can cause endometrial hyperplasia and
abnormal menstrual bleeding; benign prostatic hyperplasia is related to the action of
androgens.
Metaplasia
✓ ~: represents a reversible change in which one adult cell type (epithelial or
mesenchymal) is replaced by another adult cell type
Dysplasia
✓ ~: is characterized by deranged cell growth of a specific tissue that results in cells that
vary in size, shape, and organization, strongly implicated as a precursor of cancer
Necrosis
✓ ~: refers to cell death in an organ or tissue that is still part of a living organism
