26
Q

other effects of ketamine?

A

-increases HR, myocardial contractility and cerebral blood flow

27
Q

how may the distribution of a drug differ in neonates?

A

-they have more total body water compared to adults so water soluble drugs have greater volumes of distribution and may need different dosing to be as effective

28
Q

name two types of water soluble antibiotics?

A

vancomycin, aminoglycosides

29
Q

how do neonates differ in their level of plasma proteins compared to adults?

A

they have LESS plasma proteins, thus protein bound drugs may have an increased effect leading to toxicity

30
Q

treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome?

A
  • dantrolene or bromocriptine

- stop antipsychotics + supportive care

31
Q

normal LV pressures?

A

120/10

32
Q

normal aortic pressures?

A

120/80

33
Q

which type of muscle fibers are postural muscles?

A

type I - slow twitch

34
Q

how can you identify pseudogout on fluid aspiration?

A

RHOMBOID shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate

35
Q

when copper leaks from the liver in wilsons disease, where will it deposit?

A

basal ganglia and the cornea

36
Q

does diabetes mellitus commonly occur in wilsons disease?

A

NO - thats associated with hemochromatosis

37
Q

epithelium of the ovary?

A

simple cuboidal

38
Q

A

simple squamous

39
Q

treatment of orotic aciduria?

A

uridine

40
Q

<18.5

41
Q

saw tooth rete ridges are characteristic of…

A

lichen planus

42
Q

5 P’s of lichen planus

A

Pruritic
Purple/pink
Polygonal papules
Plaques

43
Q

where does the greatest airway resistance occur in the lower respiratory tract?

A

medium-sized bronchioles

44
Q

how is oxalate eliminated in a healthy bowel?

A

-dietary calcium binds to dietary oxalate producing an insoluble complex that is excreted in the feces

45
Q

why is there an increased risk of oxalate kidney stones in crohns diseaes?

A

-calcium forms soap complexes with the excecss fat in the intestine, and thus cannot complex with oxalate. More oxalate is reabsorbed instead leading to an increased risk for oxalate stones

46
Q

why are non-selective beta blockers (propranolol not used for MI)?

A

they can cause bronchospasm in patients with underlying lung disease

47
Q

in watery diarhea (non-inflammatory diarrhea) what will be found in the stool?

A

NO rbcs and NO leukocytes

48
Q

in dysentary (inflammatory diarhhea) what will be found in the stool?

A

Fecal polymorphonuclear leukocytes, with our without RBCs

49

  • uncontrollable jerking movements
  • dementia
  • hallucinations
  • facial movements
  • speech impairment
  • mood changes
51
Q

presentation of parkinsons disease?

A

Muscle rigidity
bradykinesia
resting tremor
postural instability

52
Q

what is the most common arythmia in someone with an infeior wall MI?

A

53
Q

If a patient with an MI develops bradycardia what can you give them?

- RBCs

56
Q

can the brain use ketones?

A

yes

57
Q

how does ionizing radiation cause cell death to cancer cells?

A
  • DNA double stranded breaks

Q

histopathology of kidneys with malignant nephrosclerosis?

A
  • Fibrinoid necrosis-cell death and fibrin deposition in the arteriolar cell walls
  • hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis-onion skin appearance -activated platelets and injured cells release growth factors leading to concentric hyperplasia and intimal thickening
