Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Signs and Symps
Nontender gallbladder, weight loss, obstructive jaundice (pale stool, dark urine, puritis)
Chlorenphenicol: Side Effect
Grey baby
Uncal herniation: Signs and Symps
Ipsilateral occulomotor nerve palsy (fixed dilated pupil)
TE fistula/esophageal atresia vs Posterior nasal obstruction
Both: Cough, cyanosis
TE Only: Drooling
Osteocyte communications
Gap Junctions
Stop Codons
UAA
UAG
UGA
Leukotriene B4: function
Most potent chemotaxis agent
Lac Operon: Components
Single Promoter/repressor set, Single mRNA, multiple products
IgA: Function
Inhibition of mucosal colonization due to attack of membrane or structural proteins
Heparin MoA
Heparin binds Antithrombin, increasing Xa binding,
Bound Xa decreases prothrombin to thrombin conversion, leading to anticoag
Radial vs Ulnar vs Medial nerve damage
Radial
Sign: wrist drop,
Sensory loss: posterior forearm, dosalateral hand
Weakness: Finger extensors
Ulnar:
Sensory: 1st and half of 2nd digit (medial side)
Motor: flexion of 4th/5th + wrist
Median:
Sensory: 1st 3 digits
Motor: thumb flexion/opposition, 1st/2nd digit flexion, wrist flexion, abduction
Transesophageal echocardiogram: Heart positions
LA: Post posterior
LV: Lateral
RA: Anterior
RV: Lateral
N. Gonorrhea: Immunity issues
Antigenic variability
MS: bladder
Loss of inhibitory signaling > uncontrolled contraction of bladder
Bosentan: MoA
Blocks endothelin (pulmonary vaso constrictors) leading to pulomonary vasodilation
