NBME 30 Flashcards
Deformation vs Disruption
Deformation = teratogen
changes to structures AFTER embryonic period. Extrinsic forces limiting normal organ development (Potter sequence)
Disruption = normal development occurs but something causes an abnormality (bands + compress + encircle)
Renal papillary necrosis
Severe ischemic injury
Sickle cell
Obstructive nephropathy
NSAIDs
DM
Severe pyelonephritis
Osteopetrosis
Excessive mineralization of bone
OSTEOCLAST = remodeling and arises from monocyte-macrophage lineage
Porphyria cutanea tarda
Severe cutaneous photosensitivity = blistering + hyperpigmentation
Urine color change
Decrease uroporphyringogen decarboxylase (Heme synthesis)
Bortezomib
Proteasome inhibitor
prevents Ag processing on MHC1 = not CD8 T cell activation
Tx of MM
Melanosome
specialized organelle w/n melanocytes that produce melanin
Gap junctions
connexin = communication between cells
think cardiac myocytes
Tight junctions
Claudins (Ca++ dependent) & occludins
inflammation = increases permeability
Crohn
Pleural effusion
Pneumonia
Catalyzing the formation of plasmin
MOA of fibrinolytic drugs used when percutaneous coronary intervention/CABG not an option
Plasmin
serine protease that cleaves fibrin clots
AML
Adults w/ pancytopenia
blast cells
mouth ulcers or gingival hypertrophy = neutropenia
ALL = doesnt include platelet
15;17
Vit. A
Multiple Myeloma
Clonal proliferation of plasma cells in bone marrow
Plasma cells = clock-face
recurrent bacteria infections
Animal RBC agglutinates when
heterophile Ab is present which is seen in EBV
EBV associated with Burkitt lymphoma + nasopharyngeal carincoma
Primary myelofibrosis
clonal expansion of Megakaryocytes = increase TGFb
Cytopenias
Extramedullary hematopoiesis = splenomegaly
Dacrocytes
Councilman bodies
Hepatocytes = apoptosis + necrosis
Eosinophilic cytoplasm
Acute + Chronic hepatitis
Posterior medial aspect of the kidney
Abscess
Psoas fascia
Increase ALP
dense thickening of bony cortex
Osteitis deformans (Paget)
Hypermetabolic states
Burns
Sepsis
Post-surgery
Traumatic injury
Majority of TH exists in which form
T4-globulin
ETC
Complex 1 or 2
1 = NADH
2 = FADH2
Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
Mit.-inherited
Degeneration of optic nerve & retina in C/L
