: Cellular Adaptations & Injury – Case Study Cell Adaptation 1. (a) State at least one type of cellular adaptation Joseph’s decreasing muscle leg mass may represent and (b) explain why it is occurring (based on his data). 2. Joseph asks you to explain why his urination pattern has changed. Describe the cellular adaptation associated with his benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). (a) Explain first what hyperplasia is, and then (b) explain what has caused his urination pattern to change. 3. If you examined laboratory results of Joseph’s prostate tissue that showed the presence of dysplasia, would you be concerned? If yes, explain why. 4. Joseph’s initial injury to his foot (glass shard) is an example of what type of cell injury? Be specific
Cell Injury and Death 5. Has Joseph developed wet (moist) gangrene, dry gangrene, or gas gangrene? Which of Joseph’s clinical manifestation support your choice of types? 6. Based only on what you know about Joseph, what is the pathophysiologic basis that would support a problem with each of these factors? If there is no evidence in his data, write “No Evidence”. Factor Supportive Evidence/Pathophysiology Malnutrition Blood Flow & 02 Delivery Impaired Inflammatory & Immune Response Infection, wound separation &/or presence of foreign bodies
