Q

M3R in endothelial surface (muscarinic toxicity)

A

Q

M2 receptors (mostly in cardiac muscle)

A

G-protein decrease intracellular cAMP–>opens potassium channels to slow depolarization. Descreased inotropy (contractility) and chronotropy (HR)

16
Q

occurs w/ repetitive activity; reproducible pain w/ palpation and worse with movement

A

costosternal syndrome (costochondritis)

17
Q

siezures in patient from rural or central south america

A

neurocysticercosis (Taenia solium - pork tape worm)

18
Q

Screening test for T.Pallidum

A

Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test and VDRL

19
Q

Confirmatory test for T.Pallidum

20
Q

TTP (FAT-RN)…Differs from DIC because TTP has

A

NORMAL PT and aPTT

21
Q

Most common cause of coronary sinus dilation (know your anatomy fool)

A

elevated right-sided heart pressure secondary to PHTN (pulmonary hypertension)

22
Q

Low frequency sound commonly associated with increased left ventricular end-systolic volume (left ventricular systolic failure)

23
Q

When is S3 best heard

A

Place bell over apex (midclavicular 5th intercostal space) with patient lateral decubitus position

24
Q

When do you hear an S3

A

Heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, mitral regurg.

25
Cough reflex (afferent limb): can be damaged when sharpe shit (like fish bone) gets lodged in piriform recess
Internal laryngeal nerve (sensory and autonomic fibers)
26
Gag reflex
Afferent: CN IX Efferent: CN X
27
KIT receptor tyrosine mutation (CD117)
systemic mastocytosis (expression of mast cell tryptase)
28
Histamine mediated via degranulation of mast cells: syncope, flushing, hypotension, pruritis, urticaria, gastric acid secretion (phys.pic), diarrhea
Systemic mastocytosis (abnormal proliferation of mast cells and increased histamine release)
29
Chronic lithium toxicity (confusion, ataxia, neuromuscular excitability) can be precipitated by volume depletion and drug interactions
thiazides, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDS
30
How do human cell resist chemo therapy
MDR1 gene--> P-glycoprotein (prototype gene product)
31
What is p-glycoprotein (product of MDR1 gene)
Transmembrane pump that functions at an ATP-dependent efflux pump. Normally expressed in intestinal and renal cells for elimination.
32
What drugs have been shown to fuck w/ this lil shit head p-glycoprotein?
verapamil, diltiazam, and ketoconazole (all reduce the action of this multi-drug resistance protein
33
Musculocutaneous nerve injury causes
trauma (shoulder dislocation) and strenuous upper extremity activity (baseball pitching)
34
Where is the musculocutaneous nerve derived from? Innervations? Sensory?
C5-C7 of the lateral cord of brachial plexus...it innervates forearm flexors (biceps, brachialis) and coracobrachialis (flexes and adducts the arm). Sensory of skin of lateral forearm
35
First dose hypotension (esp. in patients with volume depletion from diuretic, HF, etc)
ACE inhibitors (titrate up dose to prevent) *note also no beuno in BILATERAL renal artery stenosis Uni is "okay"
36
Mucocutaneous canidiasis (and other infections), persistent diarrhea, failure to thrive, thymic hypoplasia or aplasia, low or absent CD3+ T-cells and hypogammaglobulinemia
SCID
37
Brutons is a T or B issue?
B ONLY
38
Most common disorder of heme synthesis?
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) due to deficient Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase
