refractory partial seizures

or tonic clonic

or bipolar

47

lamotrigine toxicity

A

better than most anticonvulsants

**serious hypersensitivity–>rash

48

(viGABA-TRin)

51

58
Q
A
59
Q

CF nasal test results and why

A

incr. potential difference

btwn resp. epithelium and interestitium

nl CFTR inhibits Na channels + not pumping Cl out, means bringing more Na in from the surface

So more relatively negative epithelium!

takes 10-14 d

before that you see resp. alk w/met compensation

once epo kicks in, PaO2 becomes pretty much normal

incr. epo

AND

incr. capillary density, incr. myoglobin, incr. mitochondria

75
