9Cerebrovascular Disease Stroke
- Abrupt onset with focal neurologic deficit
- Usually mini-event or warning signs
- 5-20 transient ischemic attacks
- Reversible ischemia
- Some lasting 24-72 hours
- Completed stroke
- Maximal deficit within hours
- Often patient awakens with completed stroke
- Usually preceded by TIA Progressive stroke
- Ischemia worsens min. to min. or hour to hour
10Cerebrovascular Disease Pathogenesis
- Causes of stroke
- Blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked
- Thrombosis (clot in vessel)
- Embolism (clot breaks off and lodges in blood
vessel in brain) - Vasoconstriction or spasm
- Venous collapse
11Cerebrovascular Disease Diagnosis
- History
- Exam
- Imaging

- Aspirin
13Cancer, Ages 45-59
- Cancer kills 1.5 million people aged 45-59 each
year throughout the world each year - Lung cancer
- 263,000/year deaths in this age group
- Stomach cancer
- 185,000 deaths/year
- Liver cancer
- 179,000 deaths/year
- Breast cancer
- 148,000 deaths/year
14Cancer
- Tumor
- Abnormal mass of tissue
- Growth exceeds that of normal tissue
- Purposeless and preys on host
- Types of Tumors
- Benign
- Malignant
- Only malignant tumors can spread (Metastasize)

17Differentiation and Anaplasia
- Benign tumors
- Well differentiated
- Malignant tumors
- Range from well to poorly differentiated
- Hallmarks of anaplasia
- Cells and nuclei show pleomorphism
- Cells contain abundant DNA, coarse, clumped
chromatin - Large NC ratio (11) rather than (14)
- Large nucleoli
- Large of mitoses
- Dysplasia
- Precancerous condition in epithelial tissue
- Anaplastic cells in epithelium
- Dysplasia does not always progress to cancer
18Carcinogensis
- Carcinogenesis
- Result of non-lethal genetic damage
- Tumor masses result from the clonal expansion of
a single progenitor cell that has incurred
genetic damage
19Biology of Tumor Growth
- Natural hx of most cancers has 4 phases
- Malignant transformation in target cell
- Growth of transformed cells
- Local invasion
- Distant metastases
20Fig 7.33 The Metastatic cascade Neoplasia
21Tissue Invasion
- Metastasis causes 90 of cancer death
- How do tumors invade
- Detach from primary tumor
- Degrade surrounding matrix
- Migrate
22Importance of Cancer Screening
23Lung Cancer Epidemiology
- United States
- 99,000 males die per year
- 78,000 females die per year
- Five year survival 14
- Only 15 of patients are diagnosed with localized
disease - Risk factors
- Smoking
- Actively increases relative risk 13X
- Passively increases relative risk 1.5X
24Lung Cancer Clinical Manifestations
- Signs and symptoms
- Coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing,
recurrent pneumonia - Diagnosis
- Screening
- Trials of CXR, sputum cytology, NOT SUCCESSFUL
- Diagnostic
- CXR
- CT directed biopsy
- Bronchoscopically directed biopsy
- Staging concept of localized vs. distant disease
25Lung Cancer Treatment
- Localized
- Small Possibly surgery
- Large Chemo or XRT surgery
- Metastatic
- Chemo XRT
26Digestive Diseases
- Worldwide, 456,000 people aged 45-59 die each
year from digestive diseases - Cirrhosis of the liver
- Kills 250,000 people each year between the ages
of 45 and 59
27Liver
- Largest organ in the body
- Metabolizes fat and glucose
- Helps remove toxic substances from blood
Produces - Bile to help absorb fats
- Proteins that regulate blood clotting
- Immune agents
- Loss of liver function can produce severe disease
and death
28Liver Microscopic Organization
29Cirrhosis
- Normal liver is replaced with scar tissue as a
result of chronic injury, interfering with liver
function - Causes of cirrhosis
- Chronic alcoholism
- Viral hepatitis infection
- Symptoms of cirrhosis
- Exhaustion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting
blood, weakness, weight loss, and abdominal pain.
- Patients bruise and bleed easily and become
highly sensitive to medicines with increasing
loss of liver functions.

35New World of Global Health
- Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
- Pledged 6 billion since 1999 to global health
issues - Roughly the same as the WHO budget during the
same time - Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria
- 8.6 billion to 128 countries launched in 2002
- Presidents Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief,
2004 - 15 billion
36Challenges Faced
- Countries struggle with procurement policies,
hard to convert to drugs - Shortages of trained health care workers
- http//www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story
Id4987628 - Corruption
- Lack of coherent approach
37What is a grand challenge?
- Scientific or technical innovation that
- Removes a critical barrier to solving an
important health problem in developing world - High likelihood of global impact and feasibility
- Different than

health - HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, lack of access to medical
care, lack of resources - Meant to
- Direct investigators to specific breakthrough
that provides solution to a significant health
problem(s)
