Q

What is the difference between immune and non-immune hydrops?

A

Immune: this is mediated by Rh antigen exposure to a Rh- mother. in the first pregnancy she is sensitized and makes IgM antibodies to the Rh antigen. Then in the next pregnancy, she makes IgG antibodies that cross the placenta which cause hemolysis of the fetal RBCs.

Non-immune: Causes include cardiovascular, chromosomal (turner’s/trisomies), fetal anemia, infections

Q

Who gets immune hydrops? How would you prevent it from happening

A

O mothers with A/B infants

Tx: Rhig at 28 weeks and w/in 72 hours of delivery to those Rh- moms

Q

What is phenylketonuria (PKU) and what is the most common cause?

A

Can’t convert phenylalanine to tyrosine (wah)

This is mostly (98% of the time) due to your enzyme (PAH), and rarely due to synthesis or recycling problems.

Q

What is the clinical course of PKU?

A

At birth the little baby will be fiiiiiiine but then as phenylalanine levels accumulate causing problems in brain development. This causes mental retardation, microcephaly and CHD.

To make this problem less severe in the kid, control PKU in the mom so kid doesn’t drown in phenylalanine.

Q

Galactosemia. Vat iz it.

A

ABSOLUTELY NO galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) which usually converts galactose-1-phosphase to glucose-1-phosphate. You end up with a shit tone of galactose-1-phosphate which accumulates in the liver, sleep, eyes, kidney, heart, brain, RBC (EVERYWHERE) which causes problems in all of those areas.

The mental retardation is not as bad as in PKU (yay)

Q

Cystic Fibrosis (Mucoviscidosis). Describe the genetics involved here.

A

This is an AR defect in the CFTR gene (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) which codes for a AMC/ATPase used for mucus, sweat, salvia, tears and digestive enzymes.

Q

Cystic Fibrosis (Mucoviscidosis). Describe the path involved here.

A

There is a block of the Cl- channel, so there is less Cl- and H2O being secreted into whatever fluid we’re talking about. Na+ gets absorbed more too (Na+ follows its buddy Cl=) making a thick secretion that gets stuck in all the wrong places.

Q

What will you see on histology for medulloblastoma?

A
  1. Round blue cells

2. Homer-Wright rosettes

44
Q

What’s the prognosis for medulloblastoma?

A

Bad. It rapidly grows and spreads via the CSF with mets to the caudal equine (Drop metastasis)
