Q

which vitamin deficiency from isoniazid?

A

vit 6- pyroxidine

chemically similar so compete in NT synthesis –> less NTs–> peripheral neuropathy

22
Q

which cells stain for GFAP

A

glial origin: astrocytomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas

23
Q

which cells stain for synaptophysin

A

neurons
neuroendocrine
neuroectodermal

24
Q

protein M functions in step pyogenes

A

inhibits phagocytosis and complement

mediates adherence

25
Q

enhancer sequences

A

Bind activator proteins that bend DNA to interact with transcription factors to increase rate of txn

can be located downstream or upstream or within gene

26
Q

diphenoxylate MOA

A

antidiarrheal drug that binds mu opiate receptors in gut to slow motility

27
Q

leptin functions

A

decrease food intake-

  • decrease Neuropeptide Y, appetite stimulant
  • stimulate POMC –> alphaMSH–> inhibit food intake
28
Q

what differentiates absolute versus relative polycythemia?

A

absolute- increased RBC mass

relative- normal RBC mass

29
Q

AV fistula has what effects on cardiac forces?

A

increased CO
decreased TPR
increased sympathetics
Increased VR

30
Q

where do physicians access the saphenous vein for a graft?

A

medial leg

or femoral triangle in upper thigh

31
Q

what indicates a severe mitral regurgitation?

A

left sided S3 gallop

32
Q

if ST elevation is in lateral leads (I, aVL), which artery has the occlusion?

A

left circumflex artery

33
Q

if ST elevation in inferior leads (II,III,aVF), which artery has occlusion?

A

right coronary artery

34
Q

which leads are occluded in proximal vs distal left anterior descending artery?

A

proximal- V1-V4

distal- V3-V4

35
Q

subclavian steal syndrome

A

stenosis of subclavian artery (from atherosclerosis, takayasu….)

causes reversal of flow of vertebral artery away from carotid

symtpms: arm ischemia (fatigue, pain, tingle), vertebrobasilar insufficiency (dizzy, vertigo)

36
Q

most common GI abnormality in Down’s syndrome

A

duodenal atresia

37
Q

total peripheral resistance formula when in parallel

A

1/TPR = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

dont forget to invert the total!

38
Q

Etoposide MOA

A

topo II inhibitor

39
Q

do patients have a right to refuse medical info?

A

yes ya dummy

40
Q

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

A

decreased ADAMTS13 level –> uncleaved vWF –> platelet trapping and activation

Hemolytic anemia with schistocytes
thrombocytopenia

41
Q

damage to dorsal pons can cause

A

internuclear opthalmoplegia

42
Q

prenatal screening of what detects neural tube defects?

A

AFP and AChE in amniotic fluid

because if neuropore doesnt fuse, they can leak out

43
Q

standard deviation percentages in normal distribution

A

1- 68%

2- 95%

3- 99.7%

44
Q

benign vs malignant acanthosis nigricans associations

A

benign- insulin resistance

malignant- neoplasms of GU or GI

45

eosinophils normally kill…

A

parasites (helminths)

47
Q

complications of varicose veins

A
painful thromboses
stasis dermatitis
skin ulcerations
poor wound healing
superficial infections
48
Q

serotonin syndrome symptoms

A

confusion, agitation
tremor, hyperreflexia, clonus
tachycardia, hypertension
hyperthermia, diaphoresis

49
Q

what drug can help treat serotonin syndrome

A

cyproheptadine- serotinin rec antagonist

50
Q

corticosteroids effect on WBC count

A

decreased lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils

increased neutrophils but have “demargination” from previously attached vessel walls (so cant help with infection because cant be recruited)

51
Q

what’s a complication to CREST?

A

pulmonary hypertension

52
Q
