22
Q

pathogenesis of polymyositis

A

over-expression of MHC class I on sarcolemma–> CD8 infiltration —> damage

23
Q

what do you need to know to amplify segment in PCR?

A

primers of areas flanking target region

24
Q

malignant hyperthermia

A

hypersensitivity of skeletal muscles to inahled anesthetics and succinylcholine (think: fever and rigid after surgery)

due to aut dom defect of Ryr- release abnormal large amounts of Ca

treat: dantrolene- muscle relaxant that acts on Ryr

25
Q

NK1 antagonists examples and Rx

A

Rx: chemo-induced vomiting (postrema)

aprepitant, fosaprepitant

26
Q

chronic lymphedema is a risk factor for…

A

cutaneous angiosarcoma (Stewart-Treves syndrome)

27
Q

what type of microscopy do you need to see minimal change disease

A

electron microscopy

28
Q

how does Mg affect PTH secretion

A

low Mg –> high PTH

low low Mg –> low PTH

causes of low Mg- diarrhea, aminoglycosides, diuretics, alcohol abuse

29
Q

which hormones use cAMP signaling

A

FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH, CRH, hCG, ADH (V2), MSH, PTH, calcitonin, GHRH, glucagon

FLAT ChAMP GG

30
Q

which hormones use cGMP

A

ANP, BNP, EDRF (NO) - vasodilators

31
Q

which hormones use IP3

A

GnRH, oxytocin, ADH (V1), TRH, Histamine (H1), Angiotensin II, Gastrin

GOAT HAG

32
Q

which hormones use receptor tyrosine kinase

A

insulin, IGF-1, FGF, PDGF, EGF

growth factors

33
Q

which hormones use nonreceptor tyrosine kinase

A

GH, Erythropoietin, Thrombopoietin
Prolactin, Immunomodulators (cytokines), GM-CSF

GET PIG

34
Q

what does cortisol inhibit immunologically?

A

phospholipase A2
IL-2
histamine release
WBC adhesion

35
Q

metyrapone stimulation test

A

normally, metyapone blocks last step of cortisol synthesis (11-deoxycortisol to cortisol) so decreased cortisol and increased compensatory ACTH and 11 deoxycortisol response

in primary adrenal insuff: high ACTH but low 11-deoxy

in 2/3 adrenal insuff- both decreased

36
Q

neuroblastoma

A

common neural crest tumor of adrenal medulla in kids but can happen anywhere along sympathetic chain

firm, irregular

opsoclonus-myoclonus

high HVA, VMA; N myc
homer wright rosettes

37
Q

scalloped colloid

A

graves disease

38
Q

4 carcinomas that spread hematogenously

A

renal
hepatocellular
follicular thryoid carcinoma
choriocarcinomas

39

indomethacin
amilioride

40
Q

what is most likely to be injured in a hysterectomy

A

ureter

41
Q

varenicline MOA and Rx

A

MOA: partial agnost of nicotinic Ach receptors

Rx: reduce smoking cravings and attenuates pleasurable effects of smoking

42
Q

layers that have edema in urticaria vs angioedema
