Anatomy and Physiology 2 Flashcards
IBS - 2 dz’s
crohns and ulcerative colitis
What is the classic triad of reactive arthritis
conjunctivitis and anterior uveitis, urethritis and arthritis
What are the common perpetrating infections for Reiters syndrome
Post GI infxn or chlamydia
epi of SLE
female between 14 and 45, mostly black
What are the most common symtpoms of SLE
fever, fatigue, weight loss, nonbacterial verruucous (Liebman-Sacks) endocarditis, hilar adenopathy, Raynauds
What are common features of lupus
wire-loop lesions in kidney with immune complex deposition, death from renal failure and infxns
What do lupus pts falsely test positive for syphillis
false positives on syphillis test (RPR/VRDL) due to antiphospholipid antibodies - cross react with cardiolipin
What is the primary screening test for lupus
ANA - sensitive but not specific
What is a very specific test for lupus
Anti ds DNA - poor prognosis
What test if specific for lupus but doesn’t indicate prognosis
Anti Smith
What is the test for drug induced lupus
anti-histone
What does I’M DAMN SHARP stand for
immunoglobulins, malar rash, discoid rash, ANA, mucositis (oropharyngeal ulcers), neurologic disorders, serositis (pleuritis, pericarditis), hematologic disorders, arthritis, renal, photosensitivity
immune mediated, widespread, non-caseating granulomas - dz, affected population and elevated serum level
sarcoidosis, black females, ACE
What associations go along with sarcoidosis
restrictive lung disease, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, erythema nodosum, Bell’s palsy
What is contained within epithelial granulomas of pts with sarcoid
schaumann (calcium and protein inclusions inside Langhans giant cells) and asteroid bodies
What causes hypercalcemia in pts with sarcoid
elevated 1 alpha hydroxylase mediated vit D activation in epithloid macrophages
Sarcoid TX
steroids
Pain and stiffness in shoulders and hips, fever malaise and weight loss - no weakness, pts over 50, associated with HA and jaw pain
polymyaglia rheumatica associated with temporal (giant cell) arteritis
What are defining lab findings for polymyalgia rheumatica and what is the TX
elevated ESR and nl CK - prednisone
progressive symmetric proximal muscle weakness cause by CD8+ T cell induced injury to myofibers - dz, most common area of involvement and pathgnomonic histological finding
polymyositis - shoulders, perifasicular inflammation
heliotrope rash “shawl and face” rash, Gotton’s papules, “mechanic’s hands”
dermatomyositis
What are the lab findings and TX in dermatomyositis
inc CK, inc aldolase, and positive ANA and anti Jo-1 - steroids
Dermatomyositis places the pt at inc risk for what malignancy in particular
lung
What is the most common NMJ disorder, what causes it and what are common symptoms
Myasthenia gravis, autoAb against ACH receptors causing ptosis, diplopia, general weakness,
MG is associated with what neoplasm
thymoma
What causes the symptoms of MG to worsen, and what is used to diagnose
muslce use, nerve stim/compound muscle test
Administration of what kind of compound causes reversal of symptoms and what is used to distringuish under from over dosing
ACH esterase inhibitors, edrophonium test - improvement of sx after edro means the patient is underdosed
What syndrome of the NMJ is a paraneoplastic syndrome and what are the antibodies directed against
lamber eaton, presynaptic Ca channels, dec ACH release leading to proximal muscle weakness
What cancer in particular are associated with LE syndrome, what happens to symptoms with muscle use or ACH esterase inhibs
small cell cancer of the lung, improve with muscle use, no change with ACHE inhibs
excessive fibrosis and collagen deposition throughout the body, common in skin manifesting as puffy taut skin with absence of wrinkles
scleroderma
Besides the skin, what other organ systems are commonly affected by scleroderma and who is primarily affected
renal, pulm, CV, GI - 75% female
How is diffuse scleroderma characterized
widespread skin involvment, rapid progression, early visceral involvement
What antibodies is diffuse scleroderma associated with
Anti Scl70, anti DNA topoisomerase I antibody
What is CREST syndrome and what antibody is it associated with
calcinosis, raynauds, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia - anti centromere antibody
Flat discloration <1cm seen in tinea versicolor
macule
Macule greater than 1cm
patch
elevated skin lesion <1cm seen in acne vulgaris
papule
