Q

explain the process of mast cell / basophil cell degranulation?

A
  • the cells bind the Fc portion of igE
  • when a multivalent antigen comes in contact with the cell, multiple igE antibodies become cross linked resulting in aggregation of the receptors on the cell. This clumping leads to activation of intracellular tyrosine kinases, leading to degranulation

Q

explain the physiologic changes seen in an endurance athletes heart?

A

-increase in the volume load on the heart leads to eccentric hypertrophy with some concentric hypertrophy, and enhanced development of the coronary capillaries, and decreased resting HR

24
Q

what phase of the cell cycle does bleomycin inhibit?

A

G2

25
Q

what antibodies are present in primary biliary cholangitis?

A

AMA

26
Q

progesterone receptor and estrogen receptor expression on breast cancer is associated with what outcomes?

A

better outcomes

27
Q

expression of HER2 on breast cancer is associated with what outcomes?

A

worse outcomes

28
Q

manifestations of peripartum cardiomyopathy?

A

-usually dilated cardiomyopathy in the last month of pregnancy or wihtin 5 months of birth

29
Q

how does the ejection fraction changed in diastolic cardiomyopathy?

A

decreased

30
Q

how is the compliance changed in dilated cardiomyopathy?

A

increased

31
Q

which hormone of pregnancy causes insulin resistance?

A

human placental lactogen

32
Q

human placental lactogen effects

A
  • cause insulin resistance to increase blood glucose
  • increase maternal lipolysis to free lipids and ketones for energy for the mom (so the baby can have the glucose)
  • also stimulates beta cells to produce insulin
33
Q

which cells secrete human placental lactogen?

A

syncitiotrophoblasts

34
Q

are corticosteroids used in PSGN?

A

no

35
Q

are corticosteroids used in minimal change disease?

A

yes

36
Q

where do the vertebral arteries travel through to get to the brain?

A

transverse foramina

37
Q

effects of pulsatile GnRH secretion?

A

-pulsatile stimulation leads to upregulation of the GnRH receptors and thus increased FSH and LH secretion

38
Q

use of administering pulsatie GnRH ?

A

to treat infertility

39
Q

what nerve does negleria fowleri travel in?

A

olfactory nerve

40
Q

what is responsible for the green colour of pus and sputum in bacterial infections?

A

myeloperoxidase

41
Q

is shiga-toxin necessary for shigellosis?

A

No-many strains dont have it and shigella still invades the M cells of peyers pataches and causes cell death

42
Q

what type of drug is dysopyramide?

A

Class IA antiarythmic

43
Q

Class IA antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?

A

prolonged

44
Q

Class IB antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?

A

shortened

45
Q

Class IC antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?

A

no change

46
Q

where are ringed sideroblasts seen in lead poisoning?

A

in the bone marrow NOT ON BLOOD SMEAR

47
Q

will ringed sideroblasts be seen on blood smear of someone with lead poisoning?

A

NO they are in the bone marrow

48
Q

how to treat male hypogonadism?

A

testosterone replacement

49
Q

what electrolyte abnormality increases the risk of digoxin toxicity?

A

hypOkalemia - it increases the binding of digoxin to the receptor

50
Q

which electrolyte abnormality is found in digoxin toxicity?

A

hypERkamia - digoxin is inhibiting the Na/K atpase, keeping K extracellular

51
Q

An infarct occurs in the brain. 6 months later, what will be seen?

A

Persistent myelin debris- may persist for years

52
Q

Why is myelin debris slowly cleared after an infarct in the brain?

A

-In the CNS phagocytic cells are recruited more slowly due to the BBB
-furthermore the oligodendrocytes infarcted undergo apoptosis and do not help clear debris
-

53
Q

what is c-ANCA?

A

proteinaise-3-Anca which is an antiNEUTROPHIL cytoplasmic antibody

54
Q

what is p-ANCA?

A

MPO-ANCA, or perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies

55
Q

what does anca stand for

A

anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies

56
Q

Rb mutations are associated with which bone cancer?

A

osteosarcoma
