May 6 Flashcards
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS)
From diffuse systemic atherosclerosis
Kidney feels hypovulemia, lowers glomerular filtration pressure.
Increased Angiotensin II (predominately. Constricts EFFERENT to restore GFR).
ACE inhibitors
lower angiotensin II (efferent arteriolar dilation).
If they have RAS, GFR drops and renal failure happens
True vs false diverticuli
True: meckel’s, normal appendix
False: zenker’s
MEckel’s diverticuli
Remenant of vitalline duct (young kids).
True so mucosa, subM, muscularis
2%, 2 feet from IC valve. 2 inches, 2% symptomatic. Male 2X>female
Clincal: bleeding, young child, intestinal obstruction. Q
Permissiveness drug action
When one drug does nothing unless coupled with another
May seem like synergy.
Turner syndrome
45, X
Normal fetal ovarian development. Follicles die out by age 2.
Pubic hair but no breast or menses.
Premature ovarian failure (high LH and FSH).
Bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of aorta. (Short brad chest).
Cancer risk in Down syndrome
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
Deficiency in what causes inability to clear Myobacterium tuberculosis
Interferon signaling. Infected Macrophages secrete IL12
IL12 activates T cells and NK cells to produce IFN-y.
Depersonalization/derealization disorder
Persistant depesonalization or derealization
Intact reality testing
Insulin effect on glycogen
Incrrease synthesis
Via receptor tyrosine kinase -> activates protein phosphotase.
Protein phophatase -> activated glycogen synthase.
Prinzmetal angina
Episodic angina (at night and rest). ST elevation (tiny bit of ischemia). Dihydroergotamine can induce it. (Constricts vascular smooth muscle to treat migrane)
Best treatment for specific phobias?
Exposure behavioral therapy
Isonaizid
For: M. Tuberculosis
Inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
Must be processed by mycobacterial catalase peroxidase. (Method of resistance).
Also, mycolic acid syntehsis enzmye mutation = resistance
Number needed to harm
1/Attributable risk
Attribuable risk =adverse event rate (treatment) - adverse event rate (placebo)
Adrenergi effectorsf
Epinephrine; Systolic BP up, dbp down, HR up, contractility up, RBFlow down.
Pheylephrine SBP up, DBP up, HR down. Contractility 0, RBF down.
Dopamine: sbp up. DBP 0, HR up. Contractility up. RBF down.
