A

can cause serum sickness-like syndrome

28
Q

Ribivirin

A

MOA is multifactorial & includes:
inducing lethal hypermutation
inhibiting RNA polymerase & inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (deplete GTP)
causing defective 5’ cap formation on viral RNA transcripts, and modulating a more effective immune response

29
Q

Hirschprungs disease

A

is a result of abnormal migration of neural crest cells during embryogenesis, rectum is always affected

30
Q

Short gastric veins

A

drain blood from fundus into splenic vein

pancreatic inflammation can cause blood clot in splenic vein causing varices in only the fundus

A

most often caused by gallstones

34
Q

parietal cells are primarily found

A

in the superficial region of the gastric glands

35
Q

what colors with PAS in T. whippeli

A

the glycoprotein in the cell walls

it is disease resistant

36
Q

Bioavailability

A

(AUCoral*dose IV)/(AUCiv * dose oral)

37
Q

What immuno factors in crohns?

A

TH-1, IL-2, INF-y, TNF

38
Q

IL-10

A

important for inhibiting Th1

39
Q

CMV esophagitis

A

occurs in transplant patients, typically presents with odynophagia or dysphagia that can be accompanied by fever or burning chest pain
enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions

40
Q

Achalasia

A

Chagas disease is complicated by myocarditis, DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY, megaesophagus, megacolon, and arrhythmia
Romana’s sign (edema of face and eyelid)
hepatosplenomegaly

41
Q

Patient has not had stool in the first few days after birth.

A

Meconium Ileus -> can be associated with CF
CF can affect the pancrease
Pancreatic insufficiency (treat with oral enzyme supplementation)

42
Q

Spinal levels of branches off aorta

A
T12 = Celiac trunk
L1 = Superior mesenteric, left renal
L2 = Testicular/ovarian artery
L3 = inferior mesenteric
L4 = Bifurcation of aorta
43
Q

Glucagonomas

A

Cause necrolytic migratory erythema (affects groin, and other mucous membranes leading to glossitis, angular cheilitis, and stomatitis)

A

MALToma
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma
t(11;18)

45
Q

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor

A

painless bleeding
histo used to distinguish from adenocarcinoma
stains positive for c-kit (which encodes a tyrosine kinase that is involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation)

46
Q

Damage to the vagus nerve

A

Can be caused from Nissan Fundoplication, Billroth II gastrectomy, heart transplant, and lung transplant
cause symptoms of delayed gastric empyting: N/V, bloating, weight-loss
