CVS 13 Flashcards
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is linked to
AIRE gene
needed in T cell maturation (IL 2)
IL2 gamma chain defect
SCID Cytosine receptor defect RAG gene mutation Adenosine deaminase def MHC II def
causes of livedo reticularis
atheroembolic diseases
after coronary angiography/ angioplasty
small athero embolus can affect which organs
Brain —- AM PM
kidney —- PCT medulla and thick asc limb
colon — splenic flexure
liver —- zone III (pericentral)
what is the significance of zone III liver
metabolises
alcohol/ CCL4/ drugs/
highest conc of CYP450 here
specific drugs metabolized in zone iii of liver
sodium valproate
halothane
rifampin
smooth endo function
steroid synthesis
detox —– metabolism drugs (xenobiotics)
glucose 6 phosphatase —– glycogenolysis
which enzyme is def in von gierke and where is it present
glucose 6 phosphatase
presnt in smoooth ER
debranching enzyme vs branching enzyme
Anderson —- branching
Cori —— debranchin
which part of brain damaged due to ischemia
- hippocampus
2. purkinje axons ( leaving cerebellum)
any fibers LEAVING the cerebellum are ??
INHIBITORY
SCP —- superior cerebellar peduncle
Inferior cerebellar peduncle and Middle cerebellar peduncle
ICP —- medulla
MCP —- pons
afferent (excitatory)
mcc of acute messenteric ischemia
SMA
sudden onset of pain —– currant jelly stools
chronic mesenteric ischemia
post prandial pain
how are the pulses in blue toe sydnrome
occurs due to dislodging of cholestrol micro embolus
blocks small vessels so pulse = NORMAL
how are cholestrol crystals seen under microscope
needle shaped clefts
mechanism of cylophosphamide
alkylating agent bings the guanine N 7
KAWASAKI
<4 yrs asian CRASH Conjunctival injection Rash involving palms n soles (desquamating) Adenopathy --- cervical Strawberry tongue Hand foot changes + fever
which other condition can present with strawberry tongue
scarlet fever
GABS
erythrogenic EXOTOXIN A
sandpaper like rash/ blanching pharyngitis/ strawberry tongue
exotoxin A also produced by?
pseudomonas
most common and severe comp of kawasaki
coronary artery aneurysm
increase risk of rupture thrombosis
txt for kawasaki
aspirin
IV immunoglobulins
when to avoid givin aspirin
in viral infections — VZV / influenza
can cause REYES syndrome
how does aspirin cause reyes
aspirin metabolites inhibit B oxidation mitochondria
mitoch abnormality —–> fatty liver micro vesicular fatty change / hypoglycemia/ hepatomegaly/ vomiting / coma death
