Q

Q 13. What is role of carnitine in beta- oxidation? what are phenotypes for carnitine deficiency?

A

to shuttle long chain (over 14 carbons) fatty acyl-coA into mitochondria, where further steps in beta oxidation occurs

with carnitine deficiency, hypoketotic hypoglycemia after fasting

22
Q

Q 14. How are PaO2 and PaCO2 during exercise in healthy people?

A

generally well maintained due to adjusted ventilation, V/Q

23
Q

Q 15. Define nature of mutation in factorV laiden.

coagulability state? inheritance pattern?

A

resistance against protein C -> hypercoagulable state

gain of function so autosomal dominant

24
Q

Q 16. How diet should be modified in celiac disease?

A

no grains (wheat, barly, rye)

25
Q

Q 16. How diet should be modified in lactose intolerancE?

A

no dairy

26
Q

Q 16. Describe histologic finding of duodenal biopsy in celiac

A

loss of villi
crypt hyperplasia

  • check image FA 358
27
Q

Q 16. Which parts of GI (2) are most susceptible to damage by gliadin mediated inflammation in celiac?

A

distal duodenum and proximal jejunum

28
Q

Q 20. Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug

  • mechanism of action
  • examples
  • explain physiology of train of four (TOF) stimulation
A
  • Ach receptor antagonist, compete with Ach
  • tubocurarine, atracurium (-cur-)
  • gradual decrease with each stimulation as further decrease in Ach release (it also acts on presynaptic Ach receptor)
29
Q

Q 20. Depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug

  • mechanism of action
  • example (1)
  • explain physiology of train of four (TOF) stimulation
A
  • Ach receptor agonist, generates weaker response with sustained contraction
  • succinylcholine

deposustained constant but much weaker response followed by gradual decrease due to desensitization

30
Q

Q 21. Mechanism of action of alcohol as antiseptic agent? Can it also kill bacterial spore?

A

disruption of cell membrane -> leakage

alcohols can NOT kill bacterial spore

31
Q

Q 22. What is Tzanck test? What does it look for? What infections are indicated?

A

smear of scrap of ulcered skin

multinuclear giant cells will be seen with infected HSV-1 &2, VZV

32
Q

Q 22. Difference: primary HSV infection vs. reactivation of HSV

A

primary HSV infection shows some systemetic symptoms including fever, malaise,
while reactivation of HSV results in vesicles around lips/eyes

33
Q

Q 23. What additional contact precautions (2) are required for enteric bacteria (C. Diff)?

A
  • NONSTERILE gloves (sterile gloves are only required during surgery)
  • gown
34
Q

Q 24. Major sites (2) for iron absorption?

A

duodenum and proximal jejunum

35
Q

Q 24. What is common complication of gastrojejunostomy?

A

iron deficiency anemia

36
Q

Q 25. Pathophysiology of ataxia in Ataxia-Telangiectasia?

A

cerebellar atrophy

37
Q

Q 26. Describe pathophysiology of low body weight induced secondary amenorrhea

A

low body weight

  • > decreased leptin (leptin is released from adipose tissue)

A

testosterone: internal genitalia

DHT: external genitalia

39
Q

Q 29. Dantrolene

  • mechanism of action

  • block ryanodine receptor in SR

- neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia

40
Q

Q 30. List 4 clinical symptoms/ findings in NMS (neuroleptic malignant syndrome)

41
Q

Q 30. serotonin syndrome vs. NMS: What is major difference in terms of clinical symptom

A

serotonin syndrome is more like clonus movement of ankle, while NMS is diffuse muscle rigidity

42
Q

Q 30. Why ACEI (or ARB) is used for diabetic nephropathy?

A

ACEI (or ARB if patient is not compliant with massive cough from ACEI) is used to slow progression of chronic renal failure by reducing GFR
: GFR reduction diminishes hyperfiltration induced glomerular injury

43
Q

Q 30. What is mechanism of cough production by ACEI?

A

ACE breaks down bradykinin and substance P

Elevated bradykinin and substance P by ACEI produces cough. Patients non-compatible with cough can use ARB instead

44
Q

Q 31. Explain physiology of GI stress induced vomiting

A

GI stress -> SEROTONIN release -> stimulation of afferent vagus -> vomiting center in medulla

45
Q

Q 32. Jaw deviation to left side

  • what CN is injured?
  • This CN passes exits through what skull structure?
A
  • CN 5-III ( mandibular branch)

- foramen ovale

46
Q

Q 35. What is serum calcium level in patient with calcium kidney stone? why?

A

normocalcemic

vitamin D and PTH are intact to regulate Ca2+

47
Q

Which step in collagen synthesis is impaired with vitamin C deficiency?

A

hydroxylation

48
Q

Which step in collagen synthesis is impaired with Ethlers-Danlos syndrome?

A

cross linking

49
Q

Q 37. Craniopharyngioma

  • adult or kid?
  • origin of tumor
  • gross appearance/ MRI finding
  • symptoms
A
  • kid
  • remnant cells f Rathke’s pouch
  • cystic, calcified tumor
  • visual field defects, headache
50
Q

Q 38. Axonal reaction

  • what is it?
  • microscopic changes (2)?
  • what is fancy word for this?
A
  • axon’s response to damage to increase protein synthesis
  1. dispersed Nissl substance (rough ER) within cytoplasm
  2. peripheral displacement of nucleus within cytoplasm
  • chromatolysis

make sure to check figure in FA220

51
Q

Q 39. What are clinical presentations (3) of superior vena cava syndrome?
