3/30 Flashcards
blood pressure med causing peripheral edema
CCB (only one that is not a diuretic)
IbK kinase
activated during TLR binding, leading to ubiquitination of IkB, release of NFkB, leading to activation of immune cell
prolactin is activated by…
TRH and VIP (can occur in autoimmune thyroiditis
levels increased in menopause
FSH
more severe illness in Dengue is related to…
infection with different serotype
most important part of diptheria treatment
antitoxin (then antibiotics and vaccine)

sarcomere proteins (beta-myosin heavy chain and myosin binding protein G)
mutation in muscular dystrophy
dystrophin
doxorubicin causes
dilated cardiomyopathy
submucosal gland in GI tract
in esophagus and duodenum
differential in dexamethasone suppression
ACTH can’t be suppressed = ectopic source
- can be suppressed = pituitary adenoma

right ventricle (left sternal border in fourth intercostal space)
stages of lobar pneumonia

antibiotic with increase in CK and myopathy
daptomycin
MOA of daptomycin
similar to vanco, creates membrane channels in cell wall
vitamin deficiency similar to B12
vitamin E (also folate)
type of gene VHL
ubiquitin ligase
type of gene BRCA
DNA repair
blood pressure med causing pulmonary edema
mannitol (used with caution in patients with heart failure and pulmonary edema)
somatic symptom disorder
anxiety or preoccupation with one symptom
red pulp in spleen
removal of defective RBCs
cord factor
in TB, leads to high virulence and serpentine growth
hydroxylation of vitamin D
25 in the liver, 1 in the kidney
