Is disease sensitive finding present (chances of it being positive in those with disease).
interpersonal variation in the symptom presentation by patient or observation by physician.
Sureity of diagnosis (specific finding-chances of it being negative in those without disease)pathognomic is not found in any other disease.interpersonal variation in a observers specificity
also matters.
Vomiting is sensitive but not specific to detect meningitis.
Not to miss- use sensitive test.
Not to overdiagnose- use specific finding
If a process is to be measured use a valid measure-ex rr is a valid measure lung damage.
Reliable measure- same on repetation.
gcs is valid but may not be reliable.
Single findings increase the sensitivity. Group of findings,sequence- pattern increse specificity.
A disease more prevelant in the settings considered-positive finding-increase likelyhood of
disease
More prevelance- finding negative more likely to be false negative-so value of negative test
saying that disease absent decreases with prevalence.
Clinical Availability, sensitivity, specificity of a finding- decide chance and confidence of
diagnosis.
Hidden, deep structures not visible, felt late
Degree/ease- of Availability of a finding-ex redness of colon is specific to colitis-but not available
easily.
Clinician has to depend on the available findings use the ones sensitive or specific according to
the purpose of evaluation.
early in course of signs are not specific-clinical diagnosis can be made after specif ic signs
appear or by following a pattern.Specfic lab test turnaround time
Waiting for confirmed clinical finding/specific lab test may result in irreversible damage /serious
sequlae,treatment on presumptive diagnosis is necessary.
Risk of waiting for diagnosis,risk of rx,community implications decide approachpossibilistic,probabilistic,

pragmatic(directed at the diseases which can cause damage and for which a remedy is
available).
Disease life cycle- non specific findings(discomfort),structural functional changes(mid
life),response-compensated/decompensated-mortality.
Point of presentation vs point of origin of disease same or different.
If different the relation between two should be deduced.

chemical, alteration of molecular structure,loss/excess/change in proportion or change in location
of molecules.
Temp-coag cold-crystal vasoconstriction. Radical/hypoxia/calcium=damagers
chemical change causes alteration in micro and macro structure.Chemical/structural change
causes problem with function.
b)physical change
1)Loss of functioning units ex bleeding causing reduced number of red blood cells
available
2)Block of luminal passage of nutrients-food, gases,excretory or secretory organs.

The distribution can help the localization of the lesion.
Chance of functional change is proportional to the importance of point of damage in the
overall function.
Can the deficit be compensated-the liver, lung have independent functioning units-the loss
of few units can be compensated by others .loss of part of lung could be compensated by
the remaining.
Neurological cells have designated functions and are clustered according to function
Loss of particular subset of neurons cause loss of function specific to them.
Amount of tissue damage and the functional loss.
Damage should overcome the reserve capacity for the functional loss to perceived.Stress
requiring the escalation of the function in question unfolds the functional loss.
Smaller lesions can cause a significant change in the function
1. if the cells result in a endocrine/paracrine effect.
2. Cause a obstruction to the lumen
3. Dense population of a functionall important tissue.
The time over which the functional loss develops depends on the
amount of tissue damaged
cause and mechanism of damage affect the rate at which tissue change occurs.Hence the
time over which the symptom occur and the severity give a idea of the cause and
mechanism.
Chemical/physical/type 1 hypersensitivity can cause immediate symptoms.
type of tissue affected.
Nervous tissue- more perceptible functional loss-followed by muscle-epithelial-connective
tissue.
This occurs as epithelial and muscle tissue can compensate.

While the perciptable change in the connective tissue function occurs late in the course.
