Mixed Block Notes 9 Flashcards
Ecthyma gangrenosum is strongly associated with
P aeruginosa
Virulence factors of Pseudomonas in Ecthyma gangrenosum
Exotoxin A (protein synthesis), Elastase, PLC, Pyocyanin (ROS)
Exposure to bats or bird droppins in Ohio or Mississippi area
Histo (resembles tuberculosis)
Chlorthalidone
Thiazide diuretic
Holocrine glands
Associated with sebaceous - entire cells secreted
Apocrine vs Eccrine
Apocrine secretes into hair follicles, Eccrine directly onto skin
Rapid y descent that becomes deeper and steeper during inspiration
Constrictive pericarditis
Timeline of T cell response to MTB
2-4 weeks after infection
Most dangerous complication of UC
Toxic Megacolon
Sacral micturation center
S2-S4 - parasympathetic fibers travel with pelvic nerves
Pontine Micturation Center
Pontine Reticular Formation
Medium chain acyl-CoA DH deficiency causes
Hypoglycemia, Hypoketonemia
Each round of FA beta oxidation produces
1 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 AcetylCoA
During rapid beta oxidation, the TCA cycle is overwhelmed –>
Shunting acetyl-CoA toward production of ketone bodies
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
RLS - first step in FA synthesis
Anti-cholesterol meds that should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing GB disease
Bile acid resins, Fibrates
Parvovirus binds what antigen
Erythrocyte P antigen
EBV envelope glycoprotein gp350 binds what
C3d complement component (CR2 or CD21)
Hydrocephalus, Intracranial calcifications, Chorioretinitis
Congenital Toxo
What type of enzyme is telomerase
RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RT)
Rifampin monotherapy
Exposure to H flu or N meningitidis
Tx of MAC
Macrloide + Rifampin + Ethambutol
Hurthle Cells
Hashimoto’s
Beta-Galactosidase
Lactose –> Glucose + Galactose
Lac operon
Lack of glucose increases cAMP, Presence of Lactose binds repressor
FFA’s and insulin resistance
Increase resistance, also decrease insulin secretion
Pyogenic granuloma
Polypoid form of capillary hemangioma - Resemble hypertrophic granulation tissue
Cystic hygroma
Endothelium-lined lymph spaces beneath epidermis - Differ from cavernous hemangiomas by absence of luminal vessels
Liver hemangiosarcomas are associated with
Arsenic (pesticides), Thorotrast (contrast), Polyvinyl chloride
Diet recommended for PDH deficiency
Ketogenic (Leucine, Lysine)
