5/8 Flashcards
caterpillar cells
in aschoff bodies during myocarditis of acute Rhemuatic fever (most likely way dying)
bacterial endocarditis signs/symptoms
FROM JANE
Fever
Roth spots- hemorrhage in the retina
Osler nodes- painful
Murmur
Janeway lesions- microthrombi
Anemia
Nail bed hemorrhage
Emboli
bacteria that cause endocarditis
S aureus- high virulence- large veg
Strep viridans- low virulence- small veg
S epidermidis- prosthetic valves
S bovis- colon cancer
culture negative- HACEK (haemophilus, aggregatibacter, coxiella, eiknella, kingella)
dilated cardiomyopathy causes
Alcohol Beriberi (wet) Coxsackie myocarditis cocaine chagas doxorubicin
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causes
aut dom sarcomere mutatio in beta myosin heavy chain
HOCM histo
myofibrillar disarray and fibrosis
restrictive cardiomyopathy causes
sarcoid
amyloidosis
endocardial fibroelastosis (young kids)
Loffler sydrome- fibrosis with eosinophilic infiltrate
restrictive cardiomyopathy on EKG
low voltage- low amplitudes
cardiac tamponade findings
electrical alternans
pulsus paradoxus- systolic Bp decreas on inspiration
Beck triad- hypotension, distended neck veins, distant heart sounds
causes of hyaline vs hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
hyaline- benign HTN, diabetes
hyperplastic- malignant HTN
osteocytes connected to each other through…
gap junctions
which fungus can survive intracellularly (inside macrophages)?
histoplasma
pancreatic iselt amyloid formation in DM1 or 2?
DM2
which monosaccharide metabolized the fastest?
fructose (bypasses PFK-1)
azole MOA
inhibit ergosterol synthesis
inhibit cyp p450
Meniere disease triad
tinnitus
vertigo
sensorineural hearing loss
methylphenidate MOA
increase NE and DA release and inhibit reuptake
hospice requirement
prognosis <6 months
which chamber is most posterior in the heart
left atrium
splitting as a defense mechanism
seeing others as all good or all bad
