Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

      For this week’s discussion post, we will discuss the maladaptive and physiological responses of HIV and Lupus.  We will first discuss the pathophysiology of each and then further break the disorders down.  We will review how the gender factor might impact the pathophysiology of the disease.

Pathophysiology of HIV

     Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the viral infection that leads to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).    HIV is a blood-borne pathogen.  Modes of transmission for HIV are IV drug abuse, blood product transfusion or transmission, maternal-child transmission, and both homosexual and heterosexual populations can be affected.  HIV seeks and destroys the CD-4+ Th cells.  CD-4+ cells are essential or the cytotoxic T cell and plasma cell development.  Because of the CD-4+ destruction, there is a suppressed immune response which leads to AIDS (Huether & McCance, 2017). 

Maladaptive Response and the Female Factor

     Maladaptive responses to HIV are anxiety, disturbed thought processes, imbalanced nutrition, infective coping, social isolation, this is just a few.  Women make up more than half the cases worldwide.  Approximately 50,000 new cases of HIV present each year in the United States, 25% of these new cases are from heterosexual relationships with two-thirds of that percentage being women, highest among black women (Huether & McCance, 2017).

Pathophysiology of Lupus

     Autoantibodies target specific self-antigens known as the initiation phase.  Environmental factors, such as sunlight, may be the cause for these triggers or viral infections like Epstein-Barr. SLE has long been thought to have an active genetic link.  In an average individual, apoptotic cells self destruct but for individuals with systemic lupus erythema (SLE) effectively immunize themselves with bad cells from their tissue.  The body fights itself instead of excreting the bad cells.  Propagation is the second phase of SLE; this phase involves the inflammatory response and tissue damage and can affect the heart, kidneys, brain, skin, and joints.  Thirdly is the flare stage and includes a quicker and more vigorous immune response; this stage may provoke disease flares (Hammer & McPhee, 2019).

Maladaptive Response and the Female Factor

     Maladaptive responses to SLE might be altered image issues, fatigue related to chronic inflammation, and impaired skin integrity related to skin rash.  Women are ten times more likely to develop SLE than men.  African Americans have the highest risk, followed by Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.  The primary age to develop SLE is between 20-40 years old (the childbearing years) with the most prevalent age being around 30 (Lewis, Bucher, Heitkemper, & Harding, 2017).

Mental health problems involve significant dysfunction in the areas of behavior or personality that interferes with the person’s ability to function.  While there appears to be a genetic component with some disorders, structural and especially biochemical abnormalities contribute to their pathologies.  Though this is similar to other disorders affecting the human body, mental illness is still highly stigmatized.  Perhaps one of the most so, is schizophrenia.  It is far easier for the average person, and health professional alike, to cope with the idea of diabetes than it is to deal with hallucinations, and strange behaviors that besiege the person living with schizophrenia.

After watching the following video, reflect on the challenges facing those with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia.  Describe relevant pathology (i.e., functional and structural changes characterizing the disease), signs and symptoms, and provide suggestions for reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. Posts should be thoughtful, insightful, and 250-500 words.  These posts should add significant substance to the conversation and clearly reference (i.e. cite) information from current chapter readings/lectures (please follow current APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references).

Introduction

Quantitative research design provides an approach to finding scholarly evidence.  There are a variety of philosophical considerations, strategies of inquiry, and methods of data collection and analysis based on the study question and the types and numbers of variables.  For example, having one or more dependent and/or independent variables is what prescribes the statistical tests needed to answer the study question(s).  It is important for nurse researchers, leaders, educators, and practitioners to know how to select the correct statistical analysis for a study.

Upon successful completion of this assignment you should be able to:

  • Select a data analysis method / tests appropriate for a potential research study.
  • Expound on interpretation of data for a quantitative study.

The treatment of patients using telecommunications technology best describes telemedicine. The new ways of health care practices show the benefits realized.  Telemedicine may involve the use of telehealth equipment such as video components in health care. The virtual health components include chatbots, apps in improving patient care. Virtual health may involve the use of videos to enhance their health condition. Telemedicine in health care aims to improve the population health and reduce costs incurred during treatment. Besides, telemedicine in health care has proved to enhance patient experience and offer patient satisfaction through treatment approaches (Butcher, 2015).  The choice of this topic is to create awareness of how telecommunications technology can be used to improve health care.  Thus, clinical healthcare from a distance is managed as there is access to medical services that are unavailable among the people.
