Slide Content

MEDICAL PRACTICE
Fundamentals of Medical Practice is a comprehensive introduction to the core
principles and concepts that underlie the practice of medicine. It covers the
essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to become a competent and
compassionate healthcare professional.

BLOOD DISTURBANCES
Blood disturbances:
Refer to any abnormalities or disorders affecting the blood or
blood-forming organs. These disturbances can affect the:
Blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets)
Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
Blood clotting mechanisms
Blood proteins and enzymes

TYPESOFBLOODDISTURBANCES :
Anemia(lowredbloodcellcountorhemoglobin)
Bleedingdisorders(hemophilia,vonWillebranddisease)
Bloodclottingdisorders(thrombophilia,deepveinthrombosis)
Leukemia(cancerofthebloodorbonemarrow)
Lymphoma(canceroftheimmunesystem)
Myeloproliferativedisorders(overproductionofbloodcells)
Myelodysplasticsyndromes(abnormalbonemarrowfunction)
Plateletdisorders(thrombocytopenia,thrombocytosis)
Sicklecelldisease(abnormalhemoglobin)
Thalassemia(inheritedhemoglobindisorder)

CAUSESOFBLOODDISTURBANCES :
Genetics
Infections
Inflammation
Injury or trauma
Cancer
Nutritional deficiencies
Environmental factors
Medications
Autoimmune disorders

SYMPTOMS OFBLOODDISTURBANCES :
Fatigue
Weakness
Pale skin
Shortness of breath
Easy bruising or bleeding
Swollen lymph nodes
Recurring infections
Abdominal pain
Joint pain
Weight loss

DIAGNOSISANDTREATMENT OFBLOODDISTURBANCES
INVOLVE:
Blood tests (complete blood count, blood chemistry)
Bone marrow biopsy
Imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans)
Genetic testing
Medications (blood transfusions, chemotherapy)
Surgery
Lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise)

DISTURBANCES IN BLOOD
FLOW
Disturbances in blood flow refer to abnormalities in
the circulation of blood through the body.
These disturbances can affect the:
1. Velocity (speed) of blood flow
2. Volume of blood flow
3. Direction of blood flow
4. Pressure of blood flow

TYPESDISTURBANCESINBLOODFLOW
Arterial insufficiency (reduced blood flow to
organs/tissues)
Venous insufficiency (reduced blood flow back to
the heart)
Thrombosis (blood clot formation)
Embolism (blood clot or debris blockage)
Vasospasm (blood vessel constriction)
Atherosclerosis (blood vessel narrowing)
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Shock (inadequate blood flow to organs/tissues)

CAUSESOFDISTURBANCES INBLOODFLOW
Atherosclerosis
Bloodclots
Inflammation
Injuryortrauma
Infection
Dehydration
Medications
Heartconditions(heartfailure,arrhythmias)
Vascularconditions(varicoseveins,aneurysms)
Symptomsofblooddisturbancesinbloodflow:
Painorcramping
Weaknessorfatigue
Numbnessortingling
Coolnessorpalenessofskin
Swellingoredema
Shortnessofbreath
Dizzinessorlightheadedness
Confusionoralteredmentalstate
