CV: elevated creatine kinase post extraction of thrombus
reperfusion injury
– when cells within heart, brain or skeletal muscles are injured, enzyme creatine kinase leaks across damaged cell membrane and into circulation.
what events occur during reperfusion injury and in what situation does it happen
oxygen free radical generation, mitochondrial damage, inflammation
post thrombolytic therapy
how does furosemide become ototoxic?
inhibition of similar symporters (Na/K/Cl in the ascending loop of Henle) in the inner ear
what would be the predominant cell type found in bronchoalveolar lavage in a patient with Sarcoidosis?
lymphocytic predominance: high CD4/CD8 ratio.
because Sarcoidosis is a CD4 T cell mediateed disease.
CD 4 T cells release interferon gamma and TNF alpha to activate macrophage and granulation formation.
