Heberden’s Nodes

24
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis is what kind of hypersensitivity?

A

Type III - auto antibodies that bind to soluble antigens in the blood that form immune complexes that gets deposited in tissues.

28
Q

What is the triad of Sjögren’s syndrome? What are the antibodies associated?

A
Dry eyes (xerophthalmia)
Dry mouth (xerostomia)
Arthritis 
Anti-SSA (Anti-Ro), and Anti-SSB (Anti-La)
(+)rheumatoid factor 

*Sicca symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean Sjögren syndrome:
Dry eyes, dry mouth, nasal dryness, vaginal dryness, chronic reflux, chronic bronchitis, reflux esophagitis

29
Q

This disease is associated with an X-linked frameshift mutation causing a DELETION of the dystrophin gene, causing acceleration of muscle breakdown and elevated CK. Typically presents very early in life (>5) with weakness in pelvic girdle muscles, that progress superiorly. There is pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles due to replacement of muscle with fibrofatty tissue. Shows “Gowers” maneuver. What pathology is at hand?

A

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

30
Q

This pathology causes a MUTATION in the dystrophin gene, so less severe, and with later onset, seen in adolescence or early adulthood. What disease is at hand?

A

Becker muscular dystrophy

31
Q

This pathology involves pain and stiffness in the shoulders and hips, malaise, weight loss, fever, and no muscle weakness. “Joint pain, joint weakness.” Average age is 70yo, females (3:1), and associated with temporal arthritis. What do blood tests show? What pathology is at hand?

A

Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Blood: elevated ESR, Normal CK

Tx: steroids

Not a muscle problem!!!

32
Q

What should you check for in a patient that has a Lupus diagnosis?

A

Renal function tests, as it can serve a a progression marker for the disease (increased mortality) showing renal failure with:

  • Urine protein
  • Serum creatinine
33
Q

Diagnosis associated:

Anti-histone antibodies

A

Drug induced lupus

34
Q

Q

Skin junctions: this zone joins 2 cells together to form an impermeable barrier to fluids. This prevents diffusion to pericellular spaces. What type of junction is this, and what proteins are associated with this area?

A

Zona occludens (tight junctions)
Proteins:
-Claudens and the Occludens

41
Q

Skin junctions: this zone surrounds the perimeter. This is a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is leeched to the actin cytoskeleton. Cadherins are calcium dependent adhesion molecules that are in this zone. What is this zone, and the associated molecules?

A
Zona adherens (intermediate junction)
Molecules: adherens, cadherins, and e-cadherins with actin filaments as well.
42
Q

Skin junctions: this zone small discrete site of attachment. Cadherins attaches to intermediate filaments and keratin is also involved. What antibodies are involved?

A

Macula adherens (desmosome)

Antibodies to this junction would be: anti-desmosome, or anti-desmoglyan —> would be seen in pemphygus vulgaris.

43
Q

Skin junctions: this zone allows adjacent cells to communicate through electric and metabolic functions. What zone is this, and what type of cell had many of these junctions?

A

Gap junction

Cardiac cells!

44
Q

What type of junctions connect the epithelial cells to the basement membrane? Involvement of antibodies to this zone cause what?

A

Hemidesmosome (anchors down) and Integrins

Antibodies to hemidesmosomes leads to bullus pemphygoid
