All together Flashcards
Plavix mechanism of action
Irreversible binding to the P2Y12 ADP receptor on the platelet. This reduces platelet aggregation.
Toxic metabolite in cyclophosphamide
Acrolein
Zones of liver
Oxidation = 1
Detoxification with glucoronidation = 3
What falsely increases total t4 in hypothyroid dogs?
Anti-t4 antibody cross-react.
Main nutrient for enterocytes?
Glutamine
Environmental factors causing lymphoma?
Urban environment, paints, solvents, magnetic fields (?)
What are lymphoglandular bodies?
Cytoplasmic fragments commonly observed in fine-needle aspiration cytology of lymphoid tissue, frequently associated with lymphoid malignancies. Less frequently reported in bone marrow aspirates.
Ricketsial disease that mimic lymphoma?
Erlichia canis
Vincristine toxicity?
GI ileus, neurotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy (?)
Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) side effect + tx
Sterile hemorrhagic cystitis, treat with furosemide, mesna (mercoptan) is antidote
Doxorubicin cardio toxicity? Dose
180-240 mg/m2
Odds ratio?
Probability of having the disease (gold standard positive = prevalence)/probability of not having the disease (gold standard negative)
Odds of exposed group/odds of unexposed group (a/c)/(b/d)
*All you need to remember is the equation (AxD)/(BxC) and plug in the numbers
What bacteria is consistent with oropharyngeal contamination on airway cytology
Simonsiella
What cell makes surfactant?
Type II alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes)
What percentage of CO2 is transported as bicarbonate in blood?
70%
Carprofen
COX2 selectivity
Differences between oxygen and CO2 central vs peripheral?
Central respiratory rate controls - more CO2
Peripheral chemoreceptors - more O2
What medication increases drug concentrations and side effects of theophylline?
Enrofloxacin
Results of low O2 in peripheral vs pulmonary circulation?
Peripheral - vasodilator
Pulmonary - vasoconstricts
