Eye, Ear, Skin, Cancer (test 5)

abnormal replication of cells causing new growth (benign or malignant)

Arises from bone

Epithelial origin

isotope is a tumor seeking chemical

• maintaining healthy weight

• nitrate and nitrate additives are known to be cancer stimulators

• alcohol moderation

stimulate or suppress immune activity to try and control malignancy without effect on other cells

two types:

• Interleukins = help immune system find and destroy cancer cells

-Interferons= slow division of cancer cells and stimulate natural killer cells

Help immune system find and destroy cancer cells

Slow division of cancer cells and stimulate natural killer cells

Connects middle ear with the throat

tests equilibrium

hyperopia

myopia

• iris does not dilate (falls) -cataracts -dry eye

presbyopia = aging eye

• irrigate with tap water or saline

• patch both eyes

pull down on lower eyelid and put drops into conjunctival sac

apply a thin layer along the entire conjunctival sac

increase IOP causes optic nerve damage

• narrow angle (build up of fluid) (acute) (angle closure)

• open angle/wide angle (chronic) (slow over time)

Narrowing of vision common S/S

most common cause is DM

• S/S common is curtain like vision due to detachment

• most common eye disease

• macula shows colors and central vision

epidermis

dense connective tisssue

squamous epithelium

adipose to cushion bones.

category 1- better

more than 8 seconds = dehydrated

30 ml/hr

lesions on skin and mouth

painful lesions on nerve path

• same bacteria that causes chicken pox (varicella)

• shingles is not contagious but you can get chicken pox

• chicken pox is super dangerous for fetus

• you can get vaccine after having it once!

A-asymmetry B-borders (elevated border?) C-color (changing in color) D-diameter (getting bigger?) E-evolution (changing?)

• most common

• rarely life threatening

• rarely life threatening but more serious than basal cell

• can be treated with topical imiquimod

• deadly

• arises from pigment producing cells
