  • Timing
  • Paph

    - Tx: Immunosuppresion/steroids
  3. Chronic
    - Timing: months-years
    - Paph: non-self MHC are viewed by host CTLs as self MHCs presenting foreign peptides —> Fibrosis

Q

(T/F) In Sheehan’s postpatum necrosis:

Q

Patient with signs of hyperthyroidism has non palpable thyroid. Next step? Confirmatory test for exogenous vs. thyroiditis?

A

next step = radioactive uptake (if low = DDx Exogenous vs. Thyroiditis)

  • exogenous = low throgobulin
26
Q

Next best step in patient with progressive proximal muscle pain / weakness. CPK is elevated?

27
Q

Diagnostic test in lactose intolerance?

A

H+ Breath Test

- Lactose = increase lactic acid in GI tract = increase H+ out

28
Q

Osteosclerosis

  • 2 Populations
  • Rinne + Weber Tests
A

Populations = AI process in mid-age women vs. Paget’s disease

Rinne Test: AC

29
Q

Tick-borne Paralysis

Next step = find tick, it goes away

30
Q

A

≥2 experimental interventions (3 different anti-HTN Rx)

AND

≥2 end points (SBP and serum K)

31
Q

Rx Indicated and Contraindicated in Prinzmetals

A 
Indicated = CCB
CI = beta blocker (worsen's vasospasm)
32
Q

A 
Bug = Trichinella (roundworm vs. Cystercercosis/Taeina = pork tapework)
Tx = Eating undercooked pork (vs. Cyster = eating eggs in poop)

Phases

  1. Larva enter GI tract (GI complaints)
  2. Larva Migration (Systemic Hypersensitivity) = Splinter Hemorrhage

    * Periorbital Edema
    * Eosinophilia

(Don’t confuse with taenea solium = cystercisosis)

35
Q

Review 3 PPx Measures in HIV Patients @____CD4 Counts

3 Most important factors for patient survival in sudden cardiac arrest?

A
  1. Adequate Bystandard CPR
  2. Prompt Rhythm Analysis
  3. Defibrillation

NOT time to cath lab

49
Q

MC Complication of Radiactive I131 for Grave’s?

A

HYPOTHYROIDISM (not worsening of optho or hypoPTH (surgery))

Note, corticosteroids before and after RI131 can decrease optho consequences

50
Q

AEIOU Indications for Dialysis

A
  1. Acidosis (refractory metabolic acidosis
51
Q

HOCM murmur increases on intensity with _______ and decreases on intensity with ________. What other murmur does this and why?

A

HOCM increases with valsalva (decrease VR = decrease LVEDV = increase obstruction) and decreases with squatting (increase afterload = increase LVEDP/distention)

MVP does the same

  • decrease VR = decrease LVEDV/distention = decrease strain on chorda tendinae = easier to prolapse
  • increase VR = increase LVEDV/distention = increase strain on chorda tendinae = hard to prolapse, keeps valve shut
52
Q

Most effective way of preventing UTI in neurogenic bladder?

A

Intermittent cath / diapers
