MusculoSkeletal, Skin, and Neuro Flashcards
Signs of HyperPTH
“Stones, bones, groans, and psychiatric moans”
Renal Stones, osteoporosis, GI constipation/peptic ulcer dt hypergastric acid secretion, and lethargy/fatigue/psych issues
Drug known to cause hyperuricemia
Thiazide Diuretics (don’t forget this mofo)
ACL vs PCL Mneumonic?
“AIM for ACL” ACL’s path is anterior, inferior, and medial.
“PIL for PCL” Posterior Inferior and Lateral
Layers of skin
Out to in:
Stratum 1) Corneum, Lucidum, Granulosum, Spinosum, Basalis
Autoimmune sx associated with small cell lung cancer?
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (antibodies to Pre-synaptic voltage gated Ca2+ channels). Associated with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Branchial Apparatus: Arches, Clefts Pouches what type of endo/ect/mesoderm?
What cranial nerves correspond to each structure?
“CAP: Cleft (ecto), Arches (meso), Pouches (endo)”
FOR THE BRANCHIAL STUFF LINK CRANIAL NERVES TO STRUCTURES THEY WILL GIVE YOU A HINT OF WHAT ITS FROM: CN5 (1st), CN7 (2nd), CN9 (3rd), CN10 (4/6th)
Branchial Arch Derivatives?
At the golden ARCHES: first you chew (1), smile (2) , swallow STYlyishly (3), then simple swallow (4) and speak (6).
NB: the ductus arteriosus is part of the 6th arch
Branchial pouch derivatives?
1) Ears, 2) Tonsils, 3) Bottom [thymus, inferior PT]-to 4) Top [sup PT]
(inferior parathryroids start w/ thymus above superior thyroids and migrate down)
Swollen painful toe after a weekend of vacation. Initial Tx? What don’t you use?
Gout (brought on from drinking and red meat consumption). Joint aspiration shows neutrophils with negatively birefringent (yellow in parallel light) needle shaped crystals.
NSAIDS or Colchicine (microtubule inhibitor) for ACUTE tx (steroids if non-responding).
NO ASPIRIN competes for channels in renals.
Swollen painful toe after a weekend of vacation. Secondary Tx? Why don’t you use initially? Mechanism?
Gout. Use Allopurinol or Febuxostat (Xanthine Oxidase inhibitors producing less Uric acid). Don’t use initially as they can increase chance for a gout precipitation (occurs when levels fluctuate up or DOWN).
Colchicine SEs?
Use until patient gets diarrhea. Risk for aplastic anemia and neuromyopathy.
Allopurinol SEs?
Highly Allergenic, Rash (**steven Johnson syndreome*), Eosinophilia, and interstitial nephritis. Risk for Aplastic Anemia
Uricosuric Agent?
Probenecid. Used to increase penicillin half life in WWII
Probenecid?
Uriocosuric Agent
Fexbuxostat
Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor; safer side effect profile than Allopurinol. Raises LFTs and can produce Rash/Diarrhea
Patient has jerky movements and has been unusually agressive? Condition? Chromosome? Defect?
Huntington’s Disease, Autodominant, CAG (“hAuntington’s”), Chromosome 4 (“hunt for food”), Deficiency of GABA in the degenerating Striatum (caudate and putamen)
Gomori Trichrome Stain showing red blotchy appearance
Mitochondrial Myopathies. Mitochondrial Inheritance pattern. “Ragged Red Fibers”
Allopurinol MAO
Sucidine Inhibitor Purine Analog for Xanthine Oxidase.
Contraindicated in Acute Gout?
Indicated in Acute Gout?
ASPIRIN, XO inhibs, Urocosic agents, and Fructose Drinks. (Aspirin antagonizes same urate transporter used to secrete in prox tubule)
NSAIDS, colchicine, Caffeine and Diary.
Infectious/Septic Arthritis:
2 most common, Age 16-50, IVDA?
1) Staph > Strep
2) Gonorrhea in 16-50
3) Psuedomonas in IVDA
Rheumatoid Arthritis HLA? What chromo? What other thing associated with that HLA?
HLA DR4
ALL HLA’s on Chromo 6
DM1 (also on HLA DR3)
Rheumatoid Arth spares what joints?
Spares Hips, and DIPs (affects PIPs). Thus with DIP think osteoarthritis more.
Rheumatoid Factor? Causing release of?
IgM against Fc of IgG; causing macrophage release of TNF-alpha
What is a Pannus? What does is cause the release of?
Abrnomal joint granulation tissue of mesenchymal and bone marrow derived cells. Causes release of IL-1 inflamation and bone destruction (osteoclast activation)
Osteomyelitis bugs? (Top 3): Adult/Kid location: IVDA Dental Extraction Sickle Cell DM
1) Staph Aur 2) Pseudomonas 3) Enterobacteria Adult location: Vertebrate Kids: Long bones IVDA: Pseudomonas Dental Extraction: Strep Viridans Sickle Cell: Salmonella*** DM: Polymicrobial
