Cos’è una zoonosi
Con il termine zoonosi si intende una qualsiasi malattia infettiva che può essere trasmessa dagli animali (escluso l’uomo) all’uomo, direttamente o indirettamente
il vettore della Leishmania donovani
Flebotomo
tattamento della dissenteria amebica
metronidazolo
Quale test diagnostico conferma il tifo addominale
Reazione di widal
Corretta profilassi malarica con clorochina
2 settimane prima della partenza per la zona malarica e protraendolo per 4-6 settimane dopo l’arrivo
Quale esame fareste eseguire nel sospetto di teniasi
esame coproparassitologico
How long does the colera vaccination last
6 months
Antibiotici di prima scelta nella brucellosi
tetracicline
Terapia del Morbo di Hansen forma tubercoloide
dapsone + rifampicina
Corretta profilassi malarica con meflochina
1 settimana prima della partenza per la zona malarica e per 4 settimane dopo l’arrivo
Cosa sono i dermatofagoidi
Principali costituenti allergenici della polvere domestica
What class of drug is divided into ergot and not ergot derived?
dopamino-agonisti
Bioavailaibility
Fraction of administered drug reaching systemic circulation unchanged. For an i.v. dose, F = 100%.
Orally: F typically < 100% due to incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism.
Volume di distribuzione
Theoretical volume occupied by the total amount of drug in the body relative to its plasma concentration.
Vd =amount of drug in the body/plasma drug concentration
Half-life t1/2
The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1⁄2 during elimination.
In first-order kinetics, a drug infused at a constant rate takes 4–5 half-lives to reach steady state. It takes 3.3 half-lives to reach 90% of the steady-state level.
t1/2 =(0.7 × Vd)/CL in first-order elimination
Zero order drug elimination
rate of elimination is constant regardless of Cp. Cp decreases LINEARLY with time. examples of drugs (Phenytoin, Ethanol, and Aspirin).
[PEA (a pea is round, shaped like the “0” in
zero-order)]
First order elimination
Rate of First-order elimination is directly proportional to the drug concentration. Cp decreases EXPONENTIALLY with time.
Metabolism first order reactions
Reduction, Oxidation, Hydrolysis with cytochrome p-450.
R-OH
Metabolism second order reactions
conjugation (Methylation, Glucuronidation, Acetylation, Sulfation).
usually yields very polar, inactive metabolites (renally excreted).

Whipple desease most important symptoms
Cardiac symptoms, Arthralgias, and Neurologic symptoms are common. Diarrhea/steatorrhea occur later.
FOAMY Whipped cream in a CAN
REYE syndrome features
[REYE of sunSHINE]
Steatosis of liver/hepatocytes Hypoglycemia/Hepatomegaly Infection (VZV, influenza) Not awake (coma) Encephalopathy
Avoid aspirin in children except in those with kawasaki disease
Terapia clostridium (posologia)
Vancomicina 2 g (500 mg ogni 6 ore)
Most specific antibody in rheumatoid arthritis
anti cyclic cytrullinated peptide antibody
Differences between artrosi e artrite reumatoide clinicamente
Artrosi: Pain in weight-bearing joints after use (eg,
at the end of the day), improving with REST.
Asymmetric joint involvement.
Artrite Reumatoide: pain, swelling and morning stiffness > 1 hour, improving with USE. Symmetric joint involvement.
Joint findings and joint involvement in artrosi
Osteophytes (bone spurs),
joint space narrowing,
subchondral sclerosis and cysts.
DIP (distal interphalangeal joint)-(Heberden nodes B ) PIP (proximal interphalangeal joint)-(Bouchard nodes) 1st CMC (carpometacarapal joint) not MCP (metacarpophlangeal)
Joint involvement in rheumatoid arthritis
MCP (metacarpophlangeal) PIP (proximal interphalangeal joint) wrist not DIP (distal interphalangeal joint) not 1st CMC (carpometacarapal joint)
