| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the mechanisms of asthma bronchospasm? | allergen introduced-->mast cells release bronchoconstrictor substances & inflammatory mediators-->degranulation of mast cells-->histamine release-->inflammatory mediators released (example: prostaglandin, leukotriene)-->cytokine production (interleukins) |
| What are the two net effects of asthma? | bronchoconstriction, inflammation & swelling of airway |
| What are some characteristics of asthma? | effort to force air through= wheezing; exhalation difficult leading to decrease in fresh air; high concentration of CO2 in lungs may lead to blood becoming acidic |
| What are the ways to treat asthma? | bronchodilators (treat primary symptoms of asthma, bronchoconstriction) + anti-inflammatory agents (reduce level of hyper-responsiveness) |
| What are three types of bronchodilators used to treat asthma? | methylxanthines; anticholinergics; beta2-adrenergic agonists |
| What are the characteristics of methylxanthines? | caffeine included here, phosphodiesterase inhibitor, relaxes smooth muscle |
| What are the characteristics of anticholinergics used to treat asthma? | ipatropium bromide (Atrovent); relaxes smooth muscle; sympathetic component dominating, so do not help |
| What are the characteristics of beta2-adrenergic agonists? | Albuterol (Ventolin/Proventil); most widely prescribed & most effective agents for treatment of bronchoconstriction, relaxes smooth muscle |
| What should not be used to treat asthmatics? | beta blockers for cardiovascular disease |
| What are three anti-inflammatory agents used to treat asthma? | Cromolyn Sodium; Prednisone (Deltasone); Montelukast (Singulair)/Zarfirlukast (Accolate) |
| What are the characteristics of Cromolyn Sodium? | prevents mast cell activation, inhibits histamine release; blocks inflammation & constriction |
| What are the characteristics of Prednisone (Deltasone) related to asthma? | glucocorticoid; inhibits production of inflammatory mediators; reduces smooth muscle hyper-reactivity & decreases constriction; inhaled steroids are most effective & prescribed for inflammation; drug of choice in newly diagnosed asthma |
| What are the characteristics of Montelukast (Singulair) & Zarfirlukast (Accolate)? | leukotriene receptor antagonist; decrease inflammation & bronchoconstriction; asprin-induced asthma |
| What are the characteristics of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)? | bronchospasm often present (chronic bronchitis, emphysema); use beta2-agonists/anticholinergics; corticosteroids do not show clear therapeutic benefit |
| What are some characteristics of Cystic fibrosis? | thick, viscous secretions in major exocrine glands; mucolytic drugs & corticosteroids often given in combo with respiratory hygeine |
| What are some respiratory concerns in rehabilitation patients? | proper respiratory hygeine; coordinate respiratory therapy with chest PT; exercise may trigger bronchospastic attacks; bronchodilators may cause arrythmias; corticosteroid treatment=weakened musculotendinous structures |
| What are some characteristics of the alimentary tract? | food moves through, secretion of digestive juices & digestion of food, absorption of water & electrolytes, neural & hormonal control |
| What are some characteristics of the GI | smooth muscle layers responsible for motor function, enteric nervous system |
| What are some characteristics of enteric neural control? | myenteric & submucosal plexus: receive sensory input from within gut wall; parasympathetic control enhances GI activity (NT: ACh); sympathetic control decreases GI activity (NT: NE) |
| What is the responsibility of enteric hormone cholecystokinin? | slows emptying of stomach to allow for fat digestion |
| What is the responsibility of the enteric hormone gastrin? | acid secretion |
| What are the steps in stomach acid secretion? | food stimulates gastrin secretion-->gastrin stimulates enterochromaffin like cells (ECL) for histamine release & parasympathetic also increases histamine-->histamine activates acid-producing parietal cells-->gastrin leads to stimulation of the parietal ce |
| What are three possible consequences of excess acid secretion in the GI tract? | Ulcers; GERD; Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (pancreatic tumor that increases gastrin secretion) |
| What are some factors that increase one's risk for gastric ulcers? | caffiene; smoking; asprin-like drugs; Helicobacter pylori |
| What are two K+/H+ ATPase inhibitors used to treat excess GI acid? | used to treat GERD; Omeprazole (Prilosec) & Lansoprazole (Prevacid) |
| What is an example antibiotic used to treat excess GI acid? | Clarithromycin removes H.pylori |
| What is a bismuth compound + antibiotic that treats excess GI acid? | Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol): forms protective barrier; removes H.pylori |
| What are three histamine H2 receptor antagonists used to treat excess GI acid? | Cimetidine (Tagament, P450 inhibitor); Ranitidine (Zantac); Famotidine (Pepcid) |
| What is a prostaglandin agonist that is used to treat excess GI acid? | Misoprostol (Cytotec): helpful in preventing ulcers in patients on NSAIDS (side effect: stimulates abortion) |
| When NSAIDS inhibit COX, they also inhibit protective prostaglandins which: | inhibit acid secretion; stimulate mucous & bicarb production |
| What are some characteristics of antacids used to treat excess GI acid? | neutralize HCl, immediate relief, short duration of action (examples: Aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, maalox) |
| What is the best antacid to use for excess GI acid? | maalox: combo magnesium & aluminum hydroxide so no side effect |
| What are some characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease? | difficult to treat, ulcerative colitis & Crohn's disease, not same as irritable bowel syndrome which has large psych component |
| What is the main corticosteroid treatment for IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)? | prednisone (Deltasone): drug of choice for acute attacks, inhibits inflammatory mediators, side effect include ulcers |
| What are some salicylate derivatives (NSAIDS) used to treat IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)? | Olsalazine (Dipentum): drug of choice for reoccuring IBD; Mesalamine; Sulfasalzine |
| What are the characteristics & possible causes of diarrhea? | production of watery stool; causes: motility disturbances, drug-induced, psychological, bacterial toxins |
| What is the best OTC agent for treating diarrhea? | Loperamide (Immodium) (Other agents: Bismuth Subsalicylate-Pepto Bismol, Octreotide-Sandostatin which is used to treat carcinoid syndrome) |
| What are some uses for anti-emetics? | chemotherapy, toxic response, infection, motion sickness, anxiety |
