May 4th (star Wars Day) Flashcards
Which type of pneumocytes produce more pneumocytes? (Stem cell)
Type 2.
Confidence interval and relative risk
RR=1 = no association. Over/under 1 = association. If it is large enough to fit into 95% confidence interval, it is significant.
Method of action of atrial natriuretic peptide/ANP and BNP
Bind TM protein linked to guanylyl cyclase -> to protein kinase -> dilation.
How to calculate change of child having autosomal recessive disease
(Chance a random kid gets it with carrier parents= 1/4) X (chance a mom is a carrier) X (chance dad is a carrier)
Or
(Chance of dad giving allele = q if gen pop) X (chance of mom giving allele (50% if carrier)
Ankylosing spondylitis
Inflammatory disorder of sacroilliac and axial skeleton (fusion = bamboo spine). Young men with morning stiffness and lower back pain. HLA B27.
Which MHC is associated with class 1
HLA A, B , C
Noncaseating granulomas like in sarcoidosis?
T4 helper cells
Chemo drug for aml agsint CD20?
Rituximab
How to drive denovo mutation of pyrimidines with low folate
Thymidine. Alternate pathway to make dTMP that does not need folate.
Panic disorder criteria and treatment
Recurrent panic attacks w/ 4: chest stuff/dyspnea, dizziness, fear of dying, depersonalization.
Tx: benzodiazepine immeiate. SSRI/SNRI longterm
Adrenal cortex enzymes
5-alpha reductase: testosterone to DHT
21/11: cortisol and aldosterone (11 downstream)
17: Cortisol, testosterone
Function of T tubules in muscle
Transmit depolarization signals in a UNIFORM way
Dogoxin toxicity
Arryhtmias Anorexia GI pain Fatigue/confusion Color vision alterations.
Pancoast tumors
Non-small cell carcinoma (squamous or adeno)
Can invade brachial plexus = ipsilateral shoulder pain
Cervical ganglia: horner’s (ptosis, miosis, anhydrosis)
Function, attachment, origin, iinnervation of infraspinatus
O: infraspinous fossa
A: greater tuberosity
Function: External rotation
Innervation: suprascapular nerve
Rotator cuff muscles
SItS Supraspinatus: abduction Infraspinatus: external rotation Teres minor: adduction/external rotation Subscapularis: adduciton/Internal rotation
Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis
1st line: peniccilin
2nd line: ampicillin
Type 1 diabetes at risk for what?
Other autoimmune
Hashimoto
Addison’s
Increased cortisol causes what?
Insulin resistance (therefore decreased causes insuilin sensitivity)
Addisons affects what part of the adrenals
ALL THREE layers of the cortex. (Aldosterone, androgens, cortisol)
Denge fever infectino and reinfection
First: hemmorhaggic. Myalgias, thromboytopenia, petechiae
Second: worse. Different serotype
How to diagnose congenital lactase deficiency?
Stool pH (down)
Breath hydrogen test (up)
Stool somotic gap (increased)
