problem with coronary arteries

(angina, myocardial infarction, primary cardiac arrest)

Coronary Heart Disease

Pain, inadequate blood flow to the heart. Muscle strains to work due to no oxygen and hurts.

Coronary Heart Disease

Blockage of one of the arteries, damage to heart

"heart attack"

death to cells, part of heart dies

Coronary Heart Disease

Overall critical shortage of blood, massive damage, loss of consciousness

Fatal

Brain, circulatory problem

leads to stroke

Cerbrovascular Disease

disruption in blood flow to the brain, not steady

no damage

causes dizziness

Cerebrovascular Disease

blood vessel balloons out

presses on nerves/brain structures

Cerebrovascular Disease

fragment of plaque in blood vessels gets stuck in lungs, can be fatal or it can flow to the brain

"pulmonary embolism"

affects periphery (ex. feet)

blood not flowing well, slighest injury doesn't heal and can become infection (related to diabetes)

16.5 million

350 per 100,00 die each year

- NICOTINE elevates heart rate, lipid abnormalities, insulin resistance, endothelial dsyfunction

- CARBON MONOXIDE reduces haemoglobin, which leads to coagulation of blood

- OXIDANT GASES reduce antioxidants, cause lipid abnormalities, inflammation, platelet activation, and endothelial dysfunction

- increases triglycerides

MECHANICAL THEORY : vasoconstriction in peripheral areas of heart, accelerates HR (more blood trying to get in smaller space)

HORMONAL REACTION : catecholamines affect BP, SNS arousal increases lipids in the bloodstream

80% of storkes

caused by atherosclerosis

(secondary to medical disease)

some medical disease responsible for high BP (common in kidney disease)

no known cause/disease

80-85% are essential

systolic BP

diastolic BP

max Hg when left ventricle contracts

min Hg as left ventricle relieves

cancer of the epithelial tissue or cells covering internal + external SURFACES of the body. Also lining of organs

(skin cancer, breast cancer)

cancer of connective tissue

(cartiledge/muscles)

cancer of lymphatic vessels

(underarm groin)

10 million living with cancer

500,000 died from cancer in past year

LUNG CANCER kills most

15% have 5 year survival rate

nausea/vomitting in 70% cases

25% have anticipatory nausea/vomitting

(80% success rate with systematic desensitization ex. "imagine it's the night of chemo")

- significant loss of T-helper lymphocytes

(normal: 1000, AIDS: 200)

- reversal ratio of the T4 helper cells (or CD4) to T8 suppressor cells (or CD8)

(normal 2:1 T4 to T8

AIDS: 1:2 T4 to T8)

"scavenger" immune cells

Helper T Cells

(T4 or CD4)

t=thalamus gland

"military intelligence" analogy

gather information about pathogen

Subsarharan Africa - 22.5 million (pop 200 million)

HIGHEST

Oceania - 15,000 (pop 27 million)

LOWEST

OOI - Viral Infection

GI problems, inflamed esophagus, stomach pain

inflamed retina

(could be responsible for T4/T8 reversal)

OOI - Viral Infection

chronic fatigue, "mono", swollen glands

OOI - Fungal Infection

yeast found in people with "thursh"

can spread all the way to the mouth from original location

OOI - Protozoan Infections

in all drinking water

infects small intestine, GI tract

OOI - Protozoan Infection

goes to brain, dilerium, confusion

rampant in cat feces

OOI - Malignancies

almost always in men

cancer

Syphilis - 60%

Gonnorhea - 50%

Hepatitis B - 25%

HIV - 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000

- after open trial, death rates in both groups were the same (follow up important)

- placebo patients could find out what they were taking and could cause depression in placebo patients

- wasn't double blind, researchers saw the results of blood work
