What is the main cell infiltrate in Arthur reaction (type III hypersensitivity)?
- Neutrophils
What action of inhaled corticosteroid?
- Inhibit IgE synthesis
Asthmatic lady with bout of coughing, she develops chest pain what best diagnostic method for pain?
- Urgent CT scan
Table with low PaCO2 and at pure oxygen PaO2 is low?
- Abnormal shunt
What’s influence static compliance?
- Lung volume
- Ppl
- Frequencyofbreath
- Lung volume
What Decreases dynamic compliance?
- deep breath
- Exercise
- Increase of Raw
- Increase of Raw
Tb Drug not given to female on oral contraceptives? -
Rifampin
*Rifampin is a strong inducer of cyt P450, hence rapid inactivation of oral contraceptives, warfarin, and oral antidiabetics.

In which condition the DLCO will increase?
Lefttorightshunt
What increases DLCO?
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Concentric layers of hyalinized fibrotic?
- Foci in the lung
What is the mechanism in the smooth muscles of the pulmonary vessels that links hypoxia and vasoconstriction?
- Reduced uptake of Ca+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum
- Hypoxia –> increased AMP –> activation ofAMPK –> phosphorylation of K+ channels and partial depolarization –> opening of Ca2+ channels. AMPK also phosphorylates cADPR which allow mobilization of Ca2+ into cytoplasm through RyR receptors
What Ig is involved in allergic Reaction?
IgE
What is the most common cause of URTIs in Kuwait?
- Viral
A child presented with fever, dyspnea, tachypnea, she didn’t have all her childhood vaccination?
- Epiglottitis

- Costotransverse joint (at ribs 7-10)
- Costotransverse joint (at ribs 7-10)
What is the cause of damage in AAT deficiency when a pathogen is introduced?

What is the mechanism of alpha1anti-trypsin?
- Suicide substrate
What would happen if SP-D was deficient?
- Impaired innate immunity
What is effect of polyhydrocarbons?
- Formation of DNA adducts
How do nitrogen base analogs cause mutations?
- Mismatch pair
- Mismatch pair
What is the hyaline membrane of ARDS patient composed of?
Fibrin and necrotic epithelial cells
Immediate effector cells in allergic reaction?
- mast cells
Late effector cells in allergic reactions?
Eosinophils
What is the effect of 2,3BGP?
Decrease affinity of hemoglobin to O2
How does RBC’s react in hypoxia?

- FEV1 & FVC & their ratios
female non-smoker, fever, cough with rusty sputum, normal lung expansion, dullness in infra-scuplar area, bronchial breathing, fine crackles during inspiration & expiration?
