Goljan High Yield 36 General EC Flashcards
Physiologic effects of hemorrhage
drop in diastolic blood pressure, activation of RAA system from decreased renal blood flow and catecholamine stimulation, catecholamine release from the high pressure baroreceptors, increased reabsorption of sodium from the kidneys, release of ANP, release of ADH
Opportunistic infections in AIDS
Pneumocystis CMV Cryptococcus MAI TB Herpes (esophagitis) Candida (thrush, esophagitis) Cryptosporidium (acid fast; diarrhea)
Decreased uptake of DOPA and NOR
Cocaine
Produces thymidine dimers
UVB light
If thymidine dimers not replaced with normal DNA by DNA repair enzymes, may result in cancer
ESR increase with age
Probably abnormal and indicates a disease process rather than being an age-related finding
Key elements in wound healing
Granulation Tissue and fibronectin
MCC of death in 15-25 age bracket
Motor vehicle
Homicide for black male
AR disease with absent DNA repair enzymes and increased incidence of UVB related skin cancer
Xeroderma pigmentosum
Inhibited by CO and cyanide
Cytochrome oxidase
XR disease with absent NADPH oxidase, absent respiratory burst, cannot kill catalase + S. aureus but can kill catalase negative strep
Chonic granulomatous disease
Type of necrosis in acute MI
Coagulation necrosis
Cause of atrophy in muslce
In a cast
Lack of muscle stimulation
Non-disjunction in somatic cells
Mosaicism
Mother gives disease to all her kids but son to none of his kids
Mitochondrial inheritance
MC vitamin deficiency in alcoholics
folate
MC metal deficiency in alcoholics
Magnesium
Vitamin associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase
Thiamin (required to make ATP)
NADPH oxidase conversion of molecular oxygen into superoxide free radicals. PMNs and monocytes only (no macrophages)
Respiratory burst
In Caisson disease, what is decreased when a diver comes up too quickly
pressure of N2 in blood since it forms bubbles in the vessels and moves into tissue
DES exposure, vaginal adenosis precursor
Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina
What happens to the other kidney if one is damaged
It undergoes hypertrophy
Decreases the levels of vit K dependent factors, increased incidence of hemorrhagic strokes, potentiates the action of warfarin
Vit E toxicity
Required for carboxylase reaction in the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate
Biotin
Involved in transamination reactions involving AST and ALT
Pyridoxine (B6)
