Q

4 Types of disease prevention

A

1) Primary - prevention of a disease before it happens (Immunizations, etc.), health promotion
2) Secondary - treatment of complications of a disease to prevent it from worsening or progressing (B-blockers, drug therapy), pre-symptomatic diagnosis and treatment
3) Tertiary - Assistance mitigating an already established bad outcome (OT, PT, rehab), disability limitation, preventing CKD in diabetics
4) Quaternary - Avoidance of unnecessary medical interventions (error in medicine)

Nerve: radial

111
Q

Certain decongestants and BPH

A

sudafed or other vasopressors can tighten the muscles in the prostate and the bladder neck worsening symptoms of retention

112

how many days after scope to hold nsaids

A

7 days

113
Q

Aminoglycocides general notes

A

Narrow spectrum antibiotics, used primarily against gram neg bacilli aerobes, cannot be absorbed from GI and entering CSF and therefore must be given parenterally, can damage kidneys and inner ear

114
Q

Aminoglycosides mechnaism of action

A

Disrupt bacterial protein synthesis by binding 30S ribosimal unit, causing abnormal or decreased protein synthesis, rapidly bactericidal

115
Q

This drug class half lives decrease dramatically with kidney disfunction, and therefore it is essential to reduce dosage or increase dosing interval in patients with disease

A

aminoglycosides

116
Q

Aminoglycosides common adverse effects

A
  • Ototoxicity, disruption of balance
  • nephrotoxicity, proteinuria, serum creatinine and BUN elevation (reversible)
  • neuromuscular blockade (flaccid paralysis and respiratory depression)
117
Q

Fluoroquinolones general notes and ADRS’s (5)

A

Narrow spectrum antibiotic used often for UTI’s, side effects usually mild, potentially tendon rupture and mental health effects and peripheral neuropathy and contraindicated in anuerysm patients due to increased risk of rupture, photosensitivity

118
Q

Pneumoniae carinii (jirovecci) definiton

A

Rare, opportunistic fungal lung infection commonly seen in HIV/AIDS patients indicative of the disease

119
Q

5 classes of HIV drug treatment

A

1) Fusion/entry inhibitors
2) Non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inibitors
3) Nucleoside analogues
4) Integrase inhibitors
5) Protease inhibitors

120
Q

MIC and MBC definitions

A

Minimum inhibitory conc. to stop microbial growth, want at least this conc. from dosage to be achieved, minimum bacteriocidal conc. is lowest conc that produces a 99.9% decline in number of bacterial colonies, want to shoot for this

121
Q

How is sickle cell, thalassemias, and G6PD deficiency an evolutionary advantage?

A

Sickle cell protects against malaria (plasmodium falciparum) by impairing ability of parasite to manipulate adhesins so they become sticky against capillary walls, thasallemias decreases hemoglobin, G6PD deficiency causes blood cell breakdown prematurely, all are protective against malaria

122
Q

List the 4 virulence factors

A

1) adhesins
2) invasins
3) evasins
4) toxins

123
Q

7 criteria to be pathogenic

A

1) enter host
2) establish and adhere
3) acquire nutrients
4) avoid immune defenses
5) replicate
6) disseminate
7) transmit to new host
