Shit - Heme UWorld Flashcards
Erb-B2
Her-2-nu
Ab = trastuzumab
Fibrin selective thrombolytic:
vs.
non-selective:
Selective = tPA, alteplase, reteplase, tenecteplase
Non-selective = streptoknase, urokinase
Which cancer creates a tyrosine kinase fusion protein
CML: bcr-abl
Rx = imatinib (binds TK)
enoxaparin, dalteparin, fondaparinux
LMWH
binds AT-III promoting Xa inactivation
Prothrombin
Factor II
PNH triad
Pancytopenia: acquired stem cell mutatoin, so other lineages mutated too; can also be aplastic anemia
Negative coombs HA: loss of GPI anchor, so no CD55 or CD59 to inhibit MAC
Vanous thromboses (i.e. budd-chiari): prothrombotic factors released from lysed RBCs and platelets
Reed-sternberg =
HODGKINS
yellow-brown pigment =
lipofuscin OR hemociderin
Cytic AND solid brain tumour in kids
Pilocytic astrocytoma
Lung cancer with neuroendocrine markers
(synaptophysin, chromogranning, neurofilaments, neuron-specific enolase
Prolonged PTT but normal PT and thrombin time = deficiency in:
VIII, IX, XI, or XII
von Willibran disease inheritance
AD with variable penetrance
increased bleeding time indicates:
platelet problem
Cox -1 vs Cox- 2 funcitons/AE
Cox-1 blocks TXA-2, so prevents clots/causes bleeding; also blocks PG-I
Cox-2 blocks PGs (and PG-I only wrt blood sutff), so anti-inflammatory but pro-coagular/anti-bleeding
CCl4 causes
free-radical damage
Dysplasia vs carcinoma?
reversibility
MC location of cancer in LiFraumeni
breast, brain, adrenal cortex, sarcomas, leukemias
Angiogenesis GFs
VEGF (can be stimulated by IL-1 and IFN-g)
FGF
