 Fundamentals of Pathology aims at providing general principles of pathology and its associated disciplines and is not intended as a working guide to patient care, drug administration or treatment. Medicine is a constantly evolving field and changes in practice regularly occur. It is the responsibility of the treating practitioner, relying on independent expertise and knowledge of the patient, to determine the best treatment and method of application.

Author:

The author of this book Husain A. Sattar, MD recommends using Fundamentals of Pathology Pathoma 2018 PDF alongside the Pathoma video lectures. As the preface of the book indicates, the publishers have provided ample space for note-taking/writing so that when exam time comes around, these notes would turn out to be very beneficial to the readers.

Contents:

CHAPTER 1: Growth adaptations, cellular injury, and cell death

CHAPTER 2: Inflammation, inflammatory disorders, and wound healing

CHAPTER 3: Principles of Neoplasia

CHAPTER 4: Hemostasis and related disorders

CHAPTER 5: Red blood cell disorders

CHAPTER 6: White blood cell disorders

CHAPTER 7: Vascular Pathology

CHAPTER 8: Cardiac Pathology

CHAPTER 9: Respiratory Tract Pathology

CHAPTER 10: Gastrointestinal Pathology

CHAPTER 11: Exocrine pancreas, gallbladder, and liver pathology

CHAPTER 12: Kidney and urinary tract pathology

CHAPTER 13: Female genital system and gestational pathology

CHAPTER 14: Male genital system pathology

CHAPTER 15: Endocrine Pathology

CHAPTER 16: Breast Pathology

CHAPTER 17: Central Nervous System Pathology

CHAPTER 18: Musculoskeletal Pathology

CHAPTER 19: Skin Pathology

Videos:

The best way to use this book, according to Husain A. Sattar, MD, is to read the book first, then do the Pathoma video lectures and then reread the material. This method would help students building very firm concepts and reinforce whatever is learned.

Cholinergic Antagonist:

These bind to cholinergic receptors and block them. They are also called parasympatholytics, cholinergic blockers or anticholinergic drugs'

Classification:

ATROPINE:

It is a tertiary amine extracted from belladonna alkaloid. It has a high affinity for muscarinic receptors binds competitively to prevent acetylcholine from binding. Half-life is 4 hours.

ACTIONS:

EYE:

Atropine causes dilation of pupil called mydriasis, unresponsiveness to light and cycloplegia. It increases intraocular pressure.

GIT:

It is antispasmodic to reduce the activity of the GIT. It reduces secretions and relieves intestinal and biliary colics.

CNS:

It causes excitement, hallucinations and delirium.

URINARY SYSTEM;

It decreases the tone of the smooth muscle of the bladder and causes urinary retention.

CVS:

It has a divergent effect on the heart. At a low dose, it decreases heart rate. At a high dose, it increases heart rate.

SECRETIONS:

It blocks the salivary glands causing xerostomia. It also decreases sweat and lacrimal glandular secretion.

Therapeutic uses:

Ophthalmic:

It causes both mydriatic and cycloplegic effects. It is used in the measurement of refractive errors.

Antispasmodic

Bradycardia

Anti secretory

Anti dote for cholinergic agonist

Adverse effects:

Dry mouth

Blurred vision

Tachycardia

Urinary retention

Constipation

Restlessness

Confusion

Hallucinations

Signs of atropine toxicity:

Hot as a hare ( hyperthermia)

Dry as bone( dry skin)

Red as a beat(flushed)

Blind as a bat(mydriasis)

Mad as a hatter(delirium)

The antidote of atropine:

Physostigmine

                      

                                     Scopolamine

It is also a tertiary amine produces similar effects to those of atropine but has greater effects on CNS.

Clinical uses:

Scopolamine is used to prevent motion sickness, postoperative nausea and vomiting.
