Q

What two agents are important for NAD production? Qid 1064

A

Niacin + tryptophan; in pellagra can use tryptophan to make NAD; niacin can be consumed or made endogenously through tryptophan

Q

Where does angiotensinogen, ang I, ang II come from?

A

Angiotensinogen = liver; Ang I = converted from angiotensinogen in systemic circulation by renin; Ang II = converted from Ang I by endothelial bound ACE in pulmonary vessels

What is most common cause of viral meningitis?

A

Enteroviruses

18
Q

What are possible causes of hyperosmotic volume contraction?

A

Diabetes insipidus (vassopressin doesn’t lose NaCl like aldosterone), dehydration,, profuse sweating (due to hypotonic nature of sweat)

19
Q

Second hand smoke increases chances of what in kid?

A

Sudden infant death syndrome, otitis media, asthma, other resp illnesses

20
Q

Symptoms of PKU? Inheritance?

A

Intellectual disability, gait/ postural abnormality, eczema, musty body odor; auto recessive

21
Q

Carcinoembryonic antigen is elevated in what?

A

Colorectal cancer

22
Q

In complete mole, what does microscopy, immunochemistry, blood show?

A

Micro = large, edematous hydropic villi; Immuno = negative P57 (absent maternal genome); Blood = elevated b-HCG

23
Q

In what condition do you see decreased ADAMST13?

A

Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura: normally degrades vWF&raquo_space; clotting

24
Q

What muscles are used for shoulder abduction?

A

Supra + deltoid to horizontal; Traps + serratus anterior rotate glenoid superiorly after that

25
What compounds are triggered by insulins tyrosine kinase?
Phosphorylates IRS1 (insulin receptor substrate) > PI3K (metabolic: more GLUT4, glycogen & fat synth) + RAS/ MAP kinase (mitogenic: DNA synth & cell growth)
26
What acetylcholinesterase inhibitor crosses BBB?
Physostigmine
27
What is bosentan used for?
Pulmonary arteriole hypertension: endothelin-1 receptor antagonist (vasodilation)
28
Chiari I vs Chiari II congenital malformations?
I = benign, low lyring cerebell tonsils, paroxysmal HA in early adulthood, dizziness, ataxia; II = more severe and in young kids, vermis, tonsils, and medulla through foramen magnum, non communicating hydroceph, medulla problems (dysphagia, stridor, apnea), lumbar myelomeningocele
29
Characteristics and findings of Pick disease?
Frontotemporal dementia - changes in behavior, slurred speech; frontotemp atrophy, Pick bodies (aggregates of cytoplasmic tau protein seen in silver stain)
30
Trosseau sign?
Carpal spasms with inflation of blood pressure cuff- hypocalcemia… DiGeorge?
31
What cells are in ovary?
Simply cuboidal that divide and proliferate rapidly to repair
32
Characteristics of Wiskott Aldrich? Whats wrong?
Eczema, recurrent infections, thrombocytopenia (WATER); X linked mutation with thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency: combined B cell (incr pyogenic infections- capsule) & T cell (incr opportunistic)
33
Which UV rays absorb in upper dermis and cause sunburn and malignancy?
UVB
34
Which UV rays penetrate deeper and causes photaging? How?
UVA; ROS activate receptors & TF's to DECREASE COLLAGEN FIBRIL PRODUCTION and increased MMP degradation
35
What makes you think SCID? Labs? Tx?
Defective T cell development & B cell dysfunction; Risk for infections of virus, fungi, protozoa, sinopulmonary bacteria; LABS: lymphopenia & hypogammaglobinulinemia; Tx: stem cell transplant
36
What is Tx from defect in ornithine transport?
(Urea cycle) = limit protein consumption - no excess amino acids being converted to urea (which can't be excreted)
37
What ribs overlie the spleen? The kidney?
Spleen = 9, 10, 11; Kidney = 12
38
If a patient has general malabsorption with normal labs & exams, what is best next test?
Stool microscopy with Sudan III stain - looks for fats in stool (first nutrients to not be absorbed well)
39
What other condition should you expect with endocarditis w strep gallolyticus aka bovis (group D)?
Associated with colon cancer
40
In global ischemia of brain (cardiac arrest) what are most vulnerable areas to go first?
Hippocampus (pyramidal cells); also vulnerable = purkinje cells of cerebell & neocortex
