RX FLASH 257 Flashcards
- Random plasma osmolality = up/concentrated/hypertonic
- Random urine osmolality = down/hypo-osmolality/dilute (no ADH to concentrate urine)
- Urine osmolality during water deprivation= no change
- Urine osmolality after IV DDAVP= up/hyperosmolarity/concentrated
- Plasma ADH= down (low ADH)
Central DI- THINK elderly lady w/hypernatremia and dilute urine
- Random plasma osmolality = hypertonic/up
- Random urine osmolality = hypotonic/dilute
- Urine osmolality during water deprivation= no change
- Urine osmolality after IV DDAVP= NO CHANGE (interstitial is not concentrated)
- Plasma ADH= normal to increased
NEPRHOGENIC DI
- Random plasma osmolality = Down/hypotonic/dilute
- Random urine osmolality = down/ Dilute
- Urine osmolality during water deprivation= Increased/Concentrated
- Urine osmolality after IV DDAVP= Increased/ CONCENTRATED
- Plasma ADH= Decreased
Primary polydipsia
Cluster A personality disorders
Paranoid
Schizoid
Schizotypal
Cluster A personality disorders associated illness
Schizophrenia
Cluster C personality disorders
Avoidant
Obsessive-compulsive
Dependent
Cluster C personality disorders associated illness
Anxiety disorder
Mood disorder and substance abuse are associated with what cluster of personality disorders?
Cluster B (histrionic, anti-social, borderline, narcissistic)
- A thiazolidinedione that acts to sensitize peripheral tissues to insulin and increase target cell response
- Not a mono therapy b/c does it does not compensate for insulin deficiency
Rosiglitazone
Glargine
- Long-acting synthetic insulin that is used in combo w/ a short acting insulin (lispro)
- Provides continuous baseline level of insulin in the blood
- Feasible initial treatment for newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus
Only double stranded RNA virus known to infect humans
Reoviruses:
Coltivirus→Colorado tick fever
Rotavirus→ Gastroenteritis
ABCDE’s for melanoma
Asymmetry Borders (irregular) Color Variation Diameter >6mm Elevation/Evolution
What happens to B12-Rproteins in the duodenum?
B12 is released from are Rproteins (via pancreatic enzymes)
B12 binds intrinsic factor
It is then endocytosed by enterocytes in the ILEUM
B12 Pernicious Anemia
Autoimmune→Loss of parietal cells (IF deficiency and chronic gastritis)
Autoimmune→Anti-bodies against IF
Negative Schilling Test in Pernicious Anemia
No radiolabeled cyanocobalamin seen in urine
IT WAS SHIT OUT
What cells are seen in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas?
Neoplastic B cells
What neoplastic cells are seen in AML?
Myeloblasts
What are the neoplastic cells seen in Hodgkin disease?
Reed-Sternberg cells
What is the only non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma not associated with neoplastic B-lymphocytes?
Lymphoblastic lymphoma = T-lymphocytes
Typical have a greater risk than atypical anti-psychotics for what?
EPS (extra-pyramidal symptoms)—Jaw or buccolingual spasms ACUTE DYSTONIA (blockade of Dopa receptors in striatum)
What are the typical anti-psychotics?
1) Haloperidol (worst for acute dystonia due to potent Dopa antagonist w/ few anticholinergic effects)
2) Thioridazine
3) Chlorpromazine
4) Fluphenazine
Thioridazine (typical) ADRs
- Retinal Pigmentation
- Cardiac affects→sudden death possible
What is used to treat neuroleptic-induced acute dystonia?
- Anticholinergic agents/ acetylcholine receptors blockers
- BENZTROPINE
- 1st generation H1 blocker
- Can be used to treat acute dystonia (anticholinergic)
- Also a competitive inhibitor of histamine
Diphenhydramine
Long term used of anti-psychotics
-Prolactin increased (due to Dopa block)
-Prolactin inhibits GnRH synthesis and release→ leads to low GnRH→low FSH and LH release from anterior pituitary
Thus a patient very well may present with amenorrhea
- Acute onset hyperpyrexia
- Sever pneumonia
- Neutrophils
- Shitty gram stain
Legionella pneumophila
Name 4 Class III (K+ blockers) antiarrhythmics (BIAS)
- Bretylium
- Ibutilide
- AMIORDARONE
- Sotalol
-Prolong phase III→ prolonged ERP
Class III (K+ blockers) antiarrhythmics affect what phase of myocyte action potential? How?
First-line agents for treatment of depression and are the preferred choice in patients who express suicidal ideation
SSRIs 1) Fluoxetine 2) Paroxetine 3) Citalopram 4) Sertraline Note: Effects take 4-6 weeks (8-12 in elderly)
ADRs of SSRIs
- You suck at sex
- You get pissed (lol)—agitation
- Serotonin storm (careful with other serotonergic medications esp. MOAIs)
