The study of functional or physiologic
changes in the body that happen as a
result of disease processes

4. Homeostasis
• Homeostasis—the maintenance of a
relatively stable internal environment
regardless of external changes
• When homeostasis is maintained,
good health is generally maintained.
• When homeostasis is not maintained,
disease may develop.

Has become a primary focus in health care

13. Characteristics of Disease
• Subclinical state
• Pathologic changes, no obvious manifestations
• Latent state
• No symptoms or clinical signs evident
• In infectious diseases: incubation period
• Prodromal period
• Early development of the disease
• Signs are nonspecific or absent
• Manifestations
• Clinical evidence with signs and symptoms
• Local: at site of the problem
• Systemic: general indicators of illness, i.e. fever

18. Disease
Prognosis
•Occurrence of disease
•Incidence
•Number of new cases in a given
population within a given time
period
•Prevalence
•Number of new, old, or existing
cases within a given population
and time period
•Epidemics
•A higher number of expected cases
of an infectious disease occur
within an area
•Pandemic
•Involve a higher number of
infectious diseases in many regions
of the globe

19. Disease Prognosis
Communicable diseases
Infectious disease that can spread from one
person to another
Notifiable or reportable diseases
Must be reported by the physician to
designated authorities
Authority varies with local jurisdiction.
Required diseases to be reported may
change over time
Reporting is intended to prevent further
spread of the disease.

20. Medical
Interventions
• Interventions that a
physician may do, or
order that will help to
diagnose and treat
the condition
• Medical interventions
NEED a doctor's order
• Ex: Blood tests,
medications,
diagnostic imaging,
and physiotherapy.
• (Gould & Dyer, 2011)
Nursing
Interventions
• Nursing interventions do
not need a physician's
order
• These interventions meet
the unmet needs of the
patient
• Nursing interventions are
patient focused
• Use the nursing process
to guide interventions
• Holistic and comfort
needs

• Decrease in the size of
cells
• Results in reduced
tissue mass.

• Increase in cell size
• Results in
enlarged tissue
mass.

cells
• Results in
enlarged tissue
mass.

◦ Chemicals
◦ Microorganisms: bacteria /
viruses / parasites
◦ Abnormal metabolites
◦ Nutritional deficits
◦ Imbalance of fluids and
electrolytes
25. Cell

• Normal occurrence in the body
Apoptosis
• Deficit of oxygen in the cells
Ischemia
• Reduced oxygen in tissues
• Nutritional deficits

• Results in lysis causing nearby
inflammation.
Pyroptosis

27. Cell Damage
Microorganisms
Bacteria and viruses, for
example
Abnormal metabolites
Genetic disorders

Altered metabolism
Imbalance of fluids or electrolytes

28. Ischemia
●Decreased blood supply
to an organ or tissue
causes insufficient
oxygen to the cells which
interferes with cellular
metabolism.
●What cells have higher
demands for oxygen?
29. Hypoxia
Reduced oxygen
in the tissue
Interferes with
energy (ATP)
production in the
cell
Loss of cell
functions
Anaerobic
metabolism
Deficit of other
essential
nutrients
30. Necrosis
30
Copyright © 2019 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Necrosis: Dying cells cause further cell damage
due to cellular disintegration
Liquefaction necrosis
•Dead cells liquefy because of release of cell enzymes
Coagulative necrosis
•Cell proteins are altered or denatured―coagulation
Fat necrosis
•Fatty tissue broken down into fatty acids
Caseous necrosis
•Form of coagulation necrosis
•Thick, yellowish, “cheesy” substance forms
31. Necrosis
