Q

What can cause significant serum creatinine rise in a patient started on ACE inhibitors

A

Increase in creatinine is normal as patient loses efferent constriction to maintain GFR. Caution in patient with bilateral renal stenosis, decompensated heart failure, CKD or volume depletion, as a decrease in RPF also decreases FF, hence acute kidney failure

Q

Thyroid development

A

The phargyngeal membrane epithelium evaginates or out pouches with the thyroid gland itself at the end of that evagination. Remaining evagination forms the thyroglossal duct which extends from the thyroid isthmus superiorly to the dorsal tongue surface,foramen cecum, the thyroid migrates to the lower anterior neck between upper trachea and larynx. Failure of migration leads to formation on the thyroglossal duct..at any point

Q

Lingual thyroid, features of hypothyroidism in children

A

Lingual thyroid forms within the tongue when the thyroid fails to migrate. Can cause airway obstruction. Surgical removal leads to hypothyroidism:- lethargy, feeding problems, hypotonia, macroglossia, large fontanelles, prolonged jaundice, dry skin, umbilical hernia

Q

On schwanommas, where do these arise

A

They belong to the PNS, arise from neural crest cells consequently. They stain for S100. Densely cellular is the antoni a pattern and antoni b pattern is myxoid. Oligodendrocytes, CNS version of these cells transition to Schwann between brain and spinal cord, hence cranial vault and spinal canal have inhabit schwanommas. Cranial nerves are covered by Schwann cells! Most common occurs at the cerebella pontine angle, acoustic neuroma, tinnitus, vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss

Q

Risperidone. MOA and side effects

A

Used for schizophrenia.
Inhibits hypothalamic dopamine, dopamine acts on d2 lactotroph receptors causing decreased synthesis and secretion of prolactin.
Hence, drug causes hyperprolactinemia hence causes breast soreness, amenorrhea and galactorrhea

Q

Name two anticholinergic agents used to counter the effects of vagal stimulation on the pulmonary system

A

Vagal stimulation can lead to increased bronchoconstriction via M3 receptors and increased mucus production leading to increased resistance and work of breathing. Ipratronium and tiotropium counteract these effects

Q

Virulence in Mycobacteria

A

Cord factor a mycoside made of 2 mycolic acid bound to disaccharide trehalose. It prevents neutrophil inhibition and induces TNF release, destroys mitochondria. This allows serpentine pattern growth
Sulfatides inhibit lysosomal fusion to phagosomes hence Mycobacteria remain facultative intracellular within phagocytes

Q

C-difficule, how many toxins? Name them and what they do

A

Two toxins.

  1. Toxin A is an Enterotoxin ANDOs a neutrophil chemoattractant. Hence leads to inflammation, gut water loss and diarrhea and mucosal death
  2. Toxin B is a cytotoxin which de polymerizes actin hence cytoskeletal destruction, mucosal necrosis and death

Q

Which bacterial toxins and/or drugs are associated with the following:-
Mitochondrial energy production, ribosomal protein synthesis, apical ion transport, cell membrane integrity?

A
  1. Mitochondria- NRTI, cyanide
  2. Ribosomal protein- shiga from shigella and shiga like from EHEC and EIEC. Not part of normal gut flora
  3. Apical transport- A part Of AB cholera toxin. Activates AC and G protein leading to increased Na and Cl exit. Water follows hence diarrhea
  4. Cell membrane integrity- alpha toxin lecithinase from c perfringes. Normally causes gas gangrene. Soil contaminant. Can cause transient watery diarrhea.

Q

At what point do other energy sources, than glucose become important. How much energy is gained from those sources.

A

Starvation periods 16-24 hours, ketone bodies and free fatty acids, products of lipid oxidation. With starvation, lipid triglycerides are broken down into free fatty acids., free fatty acids are then beta oxidized to ketone bodies in mitochondria of liver. For 1 fatty acid, you get 1 of NADH, fadh2, acetyl coA. Acetyl coA is oxidized to Co2 and 3 nadh, 1 Fadh and 1 GTP is released. With overwhelming oxidation, acetyl coA is shunted to make ketone bodies.

24
Q

Glycogen storage enzymes and disease states 1, 2 and 5

A

Von Gierke is type 1, due to deficient glucose 6 phosphatase enzyme (note g6p is the end product of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in liver). Cannot make glucose. Hence hypoglycemiam lactic acidosis, stunted growth

25
Q

Detection bias
Lead time bias
Allocation bias

A

Detection is when a risk factor dna lead to more investigation such as smoking
Lead is when a screening test diagnoses a disease earlier without the duration or natural history of the disease changing. It makes it look like a change in survival but there isn’t
Allocation is when there is no random assignment to control and treatment group

Q

Three causes of polyuria and polydipsia

A

Diabetes Mellitus, diabetes insipidus and psychogenic or primary polydipsia

Q

Treatment for nephrogenic polydipsia

28
Q

Neutropenia, platinum and alkylating agents, cardiotoxicity

A

Give Mensa, for cyclophosphamide induced.
Neutropenia give filgastrim, a Gcsf analog
For PLT/Akyl agents give amisfostine, a free radical scavenger to reduce nephrotoxicity,
For cardiotoxicity, give iron chelation agent dexrazoxane, for anthracyclines such as doxorubicin

29
Q

Cardiac action potentials. Pacemaker versus non pacemaker

A

Phase 4 to 0, 3, 4 for pacemaker. 4 is due to Na, then Ca, then K, the. Na
Phase 4,0,1,2,3,4 for non pacemaker cells. 0 is Na, 1 is due to k leaving and 2 is due to Ca entering, 3 due to K

  6. Midgut does not COUNTERCLOCKWISEly rotate as it returns to abdominal cavity in early development. Intestine is abnormally positioned in the cavity and can twist to form a volvulus or loop.
36
Q

When does the omphalomesenteric duct or Vitellinr duct obliterate. Describe what it connects and diseases associated with failed obliteration

A

By 7th week, connects the lumen of mid gut/intestine to the yolk sac cavity..then umbilicus

  1. Persistent Vitelline duct or vitelline fistula; does not close at all.meconium discharge at umbilicus
  2. Meckels; most common. Partial closure with patent part attached to ileum
  3. Vitelline sinus; partial closure with patent part at the umbilicus
  4. Vitelline duct cyst or entero cyst when peripheral portions such as ileum and umbilicus obliterate but central portion stays. Fibrous bands connect the cysts to abdominal wall and ileum

These are incidentally discovered, usually asymptomatic..recall rules of 2’s for meckels.

Q

Common site for aortic rupture from trauma. Compare to that for aneurysms
