Pharm and week 2 review (8/18) Flashcards
Half life equation
t half= 0.7* Vd/ CL
Where is elastase produced in the lungs?
Macrophages and neutrophils
balanced by serum and tissue protease inhibitors
What is the effect of excess elastase activity in the lungs?
emphysema
paramesonephric duct is also called
mullerian duct
Law of conservation of mass
total flow=flow velocity x cross section area=constant
IL-12 does what?
stimulate Th1–> IFN gamma, IL-2–> macs and CD8 t cells
breakdown of odd chain FA, branched chain aa (valine, isoleucine), threonine, methionine leads to production of what?
propionic acid
can eventually enter TCA cycle as succinyl CoA
CGG repeat
Fragile X
Hypermethylation of FMR1 gene
Cystic hygroma and bilateral extremity swelling with decreased femoral pulses in a baby
Turners syndrome
loss fo paternal X

Can’t pee, Can’t see, can’t climb a tree + sacroilitis (HLA-B27 association)
Psychosis during depressed episode
Major depressive disorder w/ psychotic features

Dystrophic calcification
Ca deposition in abnormal (injured or necrotic) tissues
localized calcification (aortic stenosis)
Nl levels of Ca
damage can be from aging
local calcification of abnl tissue with normal Ca levels
Dystrophic calcification

SGLT2 inhibitor that blocks reabs of glucose in PCT
Contraindication for SGLT2
Renal impairment
what is in the femoral ring?
Lymphatics coming out of femoral canal
what is in the femoral sheath?
Femoral artery, vein, lymphatics
from lateral to medial what is the femoral triangle
Nerve, Artery, Vein, lymphatics (NAVeL)
effects of a chronic AV shunt on the heart
increased CO output
decreased total peripheral resistance
increased mean systemic pressure (renal retention)
Acute AV shunt no change in mean systemic pressure
Effects of pulmonary fibrosis on breathing?
rapid shallow breaths
increase elastic resistance
Immune SE of corticosteroids
Neutrophilia–> demargination
Immunosuppression
Increased risk of infection
Fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, facial edema, skin rash, eosinophilia + drugs
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
phenytoin, allopurinol, sulfonimides
2-8 wks after

only in segmented viruses BOAR Bunyavirus Orthomyxovirus Arenavirus Reovirus
