Q

what are the effects of vipoma,on HCL, B12 malabsorption, and glucose

A

This results in excess fluid and electrolyte secretion into the lumen, leading to secretory diarrhea and hypokalemia. VIP also inhibits gastric acid secretion, leading to achlorhydria. Reduced gastric acid can lead to iron and vitamin B12 malabsorption, which can result in anemia, as seen in this patient. The hyperglycemia often noted in patients with WDHA syndrome is secondary to enhanced glycogenolysis caused by the effect of high portal vein VIP signaling on the liver.

Q

pathophys of chemical gastropathy

A

Acute erosive gastropathy is characterized by ischemia of the mucosa due to hypovolemia (e.g., sepsis) and exposure to injurious substances (e.g., smoking, cocaine use). In acute erosive gastropathy, hemorrhage and loss of the superficial epithelium occur, further compromising the normal protective barrier of the stomach and allowing acid to penetrate through the mucosa, which directly damages the vasculature

translocation in lung adenocarcnimoa
Chromosomal translocation of the ALK gene results in the fusion oncogene EML4-ALK, which leads to lung adenocarcinoma. This translocation occurs more frequently in nonsmokers and patients younger than 65 years of age. In addition, signet ring cells are more likely to be seen in lung adenocarcinomas with the EML4-ALK oncogene than those without it. Activating mutations in the EGFR gene and KRAS gene can also cause lung adenocarcinoma. Testing the biopsy specimen for acti

72
effects of tnf alpha
TNF-α in particular is known to stimulate muscle catabolism via the alteration of hormone levels that regulate muscle growth (i.e., IGF-1, GH). Furthermore, TNF-α-mediated suppression of appetite in the hypothalamus, as well as peripheral activation of lipases, leads to the reduction of body fat. Cachexia occurs not only in the setting of cancer but also in conditions such as AIDS, COPD, heart failure, or end-stage renal disease.

dna polymerase for eukaryotes
The eukaryotic equivalents of DNA polymerase III are DNA polymerase δ and DNA polymerase ε.
86
how does ergosterol cause hypomagnese
This side effect can occur in renal tubular cells, with a resulting increase in membrane permeability that leads to increased diffusion of H+ ions from the urine back into the cells. This H+ ion movement creates a favorable concentration gradient for diffusion of magnesium from the renal tubular cells to the tubular lumen, thereby leading to increased magnesium excretion in the urine.

talk abt splitting of bronchus
The trachea divides into the left main bronchus and the right main bronchus at the carina. The right main bronchus then splits into the upper lobe bronchus, as well as the intermediate bronchus (bronchus intermedius), which subsequently splits into the right middle and lower lobe bronchi. Because the right main bronchus is orientated more vertically than the left, the majority of aspirated foreign bodies are found in the right lung airways; more than half of these bodies are localized in the intermediate bronchus.

113
type 2 pneumocytes injured in
Alveoli consist of type I pneumocytes, which are thin, squamous cells that form the majority of the alveolar surface, and type II pneumocytes, which are cuboidal cells that form clusters in alveolar tissue. Type II pneumocytes proliferate in response to lung damage (e.g., from influenza infection) and can differentiate into type I pneumocytes, which are unable to replicate. Type II pneumocytes also secrete surfactant, which decreases surface tension and prevents alveolar collapse.
