Q

Doe Hep b cause chronic infection?

Q

How does CFTR work in the lungs and sweat in cystic fibrosis?

A

25
What has microabscesses at tips of papillae?
Dermatitis herpetiformis
26
What is the mutation in the inherited form of pulm. HTN?

Too much glucose from mom crosses to the baby and it causes fetal beta cell hyperplasia. The glucose gets absorbed and deposited (responsible for macrosomia and big baby). After detachment from mother, the hyperinsulinemia in baby continues transiently causing baby to be hypoglycemic

What disease does the pathogenesis of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) resemble?
Trousseau NBTE often involves hypercoagule state. When hypercoagulable state from procoagulant effects of circulating cancer products then vegetations on valve may be called marantic. Migratory thrombophlebitis (trosseau) is also from release of procoagulants of cancer.
34
Why do you see urinary incontinence with normal pressure hydrocephalus?
Because the enlarged ventricles mess up the corona radiata (cortical afferent/efferent fibers) so the cortex cannot inhibit the sacral micturition reflex (s2-s4 stimualte bladder wall)

60 seconds! After 30 minutes it is irreversible.
36
What is likely the cause of SCD if soon after an MI or CAD event?

48
If someone presents with vit A deficiency what is a possible cause?
Biliary obstruction! (fat soluble malabsorption)
49
What is aspirated in aspiration pneumonia?
Oropharyngeal contents | Anaerobic bacteria in oral cavity or S. aureus causes the lung abscess
50
What happens if maxillary prominences fail to properly fuse with intermaxillary segment?
Cleft lip
51
What happens if palatine shelves of maxillary prominence don't fuse with one another?
Cleft palate
52
What cells line the walls of a cyst in the brain after months/years after ischemic event?
Astrocytes! They are what make up the glial scar
53
What do you use for diagnosing toxic megacolon from UC?
X-ray
54
Is PBC of PSC a complication of UC?
PSC
55
What is heliotrope?
Erythematous periorbital rash Aw/ dermatomyositis
56
What has precipitated hemoglobin?
Heinz
57
What has precipitated nuclear fragments?
Howell Jolly
58
What presents with non rhythmic conjugate eye movements, myoclonus, hypotonia?
Neuroblastoma
59
What is a cell with bilobed nucleus and a lot o granules?
Eosinophil Neutro have multilobed nuclei but no granules
60
What can induce mania in susceptible patients (like those with unrecognized bipolar)?
Antidepressants
61
What has cavernous blood filled vascular spaces lined by single epithelial layer?
Cavernous hemangioma MC benign liver tumor
62
What is the cosyntropin stimulation test used for?
Adrenocortical insufficiency
63
What is the high dose dexamethasone suppression test used for?
To determine if it is a pituitary adenoma (will suppress) or ectopic ACTH (like small cell) Can also do a CRH stimulation test (inc ACTH if pituitary adenoma but no inc if ectopic)
64
What is low dose dexamethasone suppression test for?
To determine if its a adrenal tumor (dec ACTH) or a pituitary adenoma/ectopic ACTH (inc ACTH)
65
What does PBC resemble?
GVHD because they both have granulomatous bile duct destruction and lymphocyte infiltrate
66
What has florid duct lesions?
PBC
67
What causes autosplenectomy in sickle cell patients?
Vaso occlusive crises causes repetitive infarcts of the spleen leading to it become shrunken and fibrotic over time.
68
Diagnosis: bleeding from venupuncture sites, immature myeloid cells with giant cytoplasmic granules, and bruising?
APL Granules = auer rods Infection and coagulopathy causing hemorrhagic signs (remember they get DIC)
69
What do you think if multiple cysts in liver with only mildly elevated liver enzymes?
Metastaes to liver (won't really mess up enzymes until later, tends to multiple, and MC than hepatocellular carcinoma)
70
What happens to aldosterone levels with ARB?
They DECREASE! ARB inhibits Angiotensin II receptors so ang II can't stimulate aldosterone release from the adrenal glands
71

Smooth muscle cells (they cause intimal hyperplasia, fibrosis, ECM deposition) lading to fibrou atheroma formation
77
What type of fluid loss do you get with hemorrhaging?
Isotonic ECF loss (no effect on ICF)
