Q

How do you monitor therapy following anticoagulation with lepirudin?

A

Lepirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor that is used to treat pts with HIT

Due to its inhibitory effect on thrombin, lepirudin results in prolongation of both aPTT and prothrombin time (PT). The aPTT is generally the current method of choice for monitoring treatment with lepirudin in most situations.

87
Q

What is this lesion in the lung?

A

Silicosis

A silicotic nodule within lung parenchyma is seen here. It is composed mainly of bundles of interlacing pink collagen. There is a minimal inflammatory reaction. The greater the degree of exposure to silica and increasing length of exposure determine the amount of silicotic nodule formation and the degree of restrictive lung disease. Silicosis increases the risk for lung carcinoma only about 2-fold.

88
Q

Orbital mass of monotous small lymphs, a B cell lymphoma. DNA amplification performed for Ig heavy chain, and DNA ladder pattern shows no dominant bands – what does this mean?

  1. The rearrangement was present but failed to amplify
  2. Amplification failed to take place entirely
  3. The test was not specific because of polyclonal B cells in the lesion
  4. The soft tissue around the lesion was accidentally sampled
  5. The lesion is benign
A

The rearrangement was present but failed to amplify

Somatic mutations of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene of some mature B disorders, especially follicular lymphomas and plasma cell malignancies, alter the sequence of the region amplified by the primers so that primer hybridization is suboptimal or does not occur, resulting in false negative PCR results

89
Q

Pap smear

What is this?

A

Cockleburs are associated with IUD, oral contraceptive use, and second half of pregnancy. They are related to cellular regeneration and composed of nonimmune glycoprotein, lipid, and calcium. Cytologically they are identified as golden refractile orange crystalline rays surrounded by histiocytes. They have no clinical significance.

90

• Cytoplasmic inclusions
– Ovoid “pale bodies” (ground glass but HBV-PAS-/fibrinogen+)
– Mallory hyalines (rare)

  • Large, hyperchromatic, and vesicular nuclei

Q

What is this lesion in the endometrium called?

A

Papillary syncytial metaplasia

An inaccurate term as it is not a metaplasia but rather a regenerative or degenerative process secondary to tissue breakdown.

Mitotic figures may be present within the papillary proliferations.

It is also seen following surface breakdown associated with nonmenstrual conditions.

On occasions, the micropapillary architecture is particularly striking, and, if associated with mitotic activity, this raises the possibility of a serous carcinoma

Differentiated by – background endometrium shows features of breakdown – p53 staining which is negative here

Q

Determine how many tests must be performed in a year to justify the cost of a new instrument if the price of the instrument is $70,000 and it should last 5 years. It can do 60 tests per hour. A tech can do 4 tests per hour and is paid $6 per hour.

A

10,000 tests per year

Equipment Evaluation (Straight from Osler Notes)

You have purchased a $70K machine which has a 5 year lifetime. The machine can perform 60 tests/hr. A tech can run the machine at a salary of $6/hr. Currently, with the manual method, a tech can do 4 tests/hr. How many tests need to be done each year to justify the cost of the machine?

$70K/5 = $14K

$6/4 = $1.50 per test (manual method)

$6/60 = $0.10 per test (new method)

Let x = the number of tests.

0.10x + $14,000 = 1.50x

x = 10,000/yr

186
Q

Given the frequency of homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant and heterozygous genes, be able to calculate allele frequency.

Hardy-Weinburg Equation

A

Remember the basic formulas:

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population
q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population
p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals
q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

EXAMPLE:

You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 36%. Using that 36%, calculate the following:

  • The frequency of the “aa” genotype. Answer: 36%, as given in the problem itself.
  • The frequency of the “a” allele. Answer: The frequency of aa is 36%, which means that q2 = 0.36, by definition. If q2 = 0.36, then q = 0.6, again by definition. Since q equals the frequency of the a allele, then the frequency is 60%.
  • The frequency of the “A” allele. Answer: Since q = 0.6, and p + q = 1, then p = 0.4; the frequency of A is by definition equal to p, so the answer is 40%.
  • The frequencies of the genotypes “AA” and “Aa.” Answer: The frequency of AA is equal to p2, and the frequency of Aa is equal to 2pq. So, using the information above, the frequency of AA is 16% (i.e. p2 is 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16) and Aa is 48% (2pq = 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 = 0.48).
  • The frequencies of the two possible phenotypes if “A” is completely dominant over “a.” Answers: Because “A” is totally dominate over “a”, the dominant phenotype will show if either the homozygous “AA” or heterozygous “Aa” genotypes occur. The recessive phenotype is controlled by the homozygous aa genotype. Therefore, the frequency of the dominant phenotype equals the sum of the frequencies of AA and Aa, and the recessive phenotype is simply the frequency of aa. Therefore, the dominant frequency is 64% and, in the first part of this question above, you have already shown that the recessive frequency is 36%.
