section(s) of the nephron most susceptible to ischemic injury

A

proximal collecting tubule
thick ascending limb
(use ATP)

29

pathways activated by insulin binding its receptor

A

Insulin binds–> tyrosine kinase phosphorylation
activates two pathways:

33
Q

vessels contained within hepatoduodenal ligament

A

proper hepatic artery, common bile duct, portal vein

34

illness anxiety disorder

A

fear of having a serious illness despite few or no symptoms and consistently negative evaluations

39

45
Q

A

jejunum

47

A

slow onset of action

49

Q

enzyme involved in breaking down foreign intracellular proteins (i.e., virus particles) to be presented on MHC class I

A

ubiquitin ligase

51
Q

best indicator of severe mitral regurgitation

A

presence of S3 gallop
(indicates increased rate of LV filling due to a large volume of regurgitant flow re-entering the ventricle during mid-diastole)

52
Q

treatment of Wernicke encephalopathy

A

give thiamine supplementation WITH glucose. Glucose alone in pt with thiamine deficiency can precipitate encephalopathy and hemorrhage into maxillary bodies
