June 2nd Examm Flashcards
Noncommunicative Hydrocephalus, obstruction (aqueduct stenosis, Arnold Chiari) ventricles proximal to obstruction are enlarged
Normal Pressure HYdrocephalus (communicating hydrocephalus = X CSF absorption)
Hydrocephalus Ex-vacuo (AIDS or dementia) cortical atrophy causing this
Hydrocephalus Ex-vacuo
Pseudotumor cerebri
Intracranial HTN with no ventricular enlargement (young females)
3 things reducing liver gluconeogenesis
- Sepsis chronic inflammation
- BB
- Heavy alcohol
Achondroplasia
- Inheritance ‘
- Mutation in
- Sx
- AD, homozygous is leathal, Heterozygous live
- FGFR3 mutation
- Short limbs , dwarfism
Neurofibromatosis
1, inheritance
2. Gene mutation
3. Cells its made of and embryo logic origin
- AD
2 . NF1 TSG - Schwann cells = NCC
NCC origin
- Skull bones
- Schwann cells
- Septum aorticpulmonary
- Melanocytes
- Bone/cartilage
- Adrenal Medualla
NT origins
- Retina
- Brain / spinal cord
- Pineal gland
- PP gland
Mesoderm origin
- Muscles , bone cartilage
- Heart , lymph
- Spleen, kidney , ureter
- Adrenal Cortex
Endoderm origin
- GI, bladder, urethra, liver. Pancreas
- Lungs
- Thyroid, parathyroid, thymus
- Middle ear
Injury to 1 eye can cause
T- cells that attack that cell due to injury and clearing infections , some can start attacking the other eye = bilateral blindness
(Same in testes) = immune privilege (have self antigens)
Vesicoureteral Reflux what happens and location and what can happen as a result
Ureter enters bladder in perpendicular way (instead of oblique) allowing urine back up to ureter = chronic pylo (lower and upper lobes due to compound papillae-open- are found) = renal scarring/atrophy and dilation = Secondary HTN
Middle kidney = simple papillae : closed
Multicystic dysplastic kidney
Many non-communicating cysts and if bilateral causing renal insufficiency due to no normal kidney tissue
Posterior Urethral Valves
Valve forms from Wolffian duct malformation in urethra = urine back up into bladder up to kidney = hydronephrosis (bilaterally)
Lesion in
- Midbrain
- Pons
- Medulla
- Dilated down and out pupil (CN3) = PCA infarct
- Nystagmus (CN4/CN5/6,CN7/CN8) , facial weakness, spacial hearing and seeing loss, vertigo
- Tongue deviation to effected side
Nystagmus due to what CN
CN8
Inferior cerebellar peduncle
Ataxia
TLC increases then what has to increase
RV
Restrictive
Obstructive
- R : low TLC/RV, + low FVC, low FEV1, HIGH -normal FEV1/FVC,
- O : high TLC/RV , low FEV1, normal FVC, low FEV1/FVC
Homocysteinuria
- SX, casue of death
- What is the cause + inheritance
- What to give them
- Lens dislocation , intellectual probs, MARFAN sx , HIGH THROMBOEMBOLIC events
(Cause of death) - AR X cystathionine B-synthase (NEEDS vit B6) [homocysteine —x—> Cysteine]
- Don’t eat Methionine, give VIT B6
