Q

PNH triad

A

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

Q

Cox -1 vs Cox- 2 funcitons/AE

A

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

Q

Aplastic anemia classic signs

A

BM: hypocellular with fatty replacement and stroma

Spleen: NO splenomegaly to complensate (because stem cell problem)

20
Q

Non-truma foot/wrist drop

A

Churg strauss

Lead poisoning

21
Q

Shortest t1/2 of CFs and result

A

VII

In liver problems, PT is first thing to be elevated

(most CFs made in liver)

22
Q

vincrinstine AE

A

neurotoxicity: tingling in fingers and toes (peripheral neuropathy)

23
Q

leucovirin

A

aka folinic acid

THF derivative that doesnt need DHF-reductase to be activated

Rescure for BM suppression, mucositis, GI problems

24
Q

infliximab

A

Anti-TNF-a

25
Q

rituximab

26
Q

cancer with altered PDGF

A

chronic myelomonocytic leukemia

27
Q

Protein C resistance

A

Factor V leiden mutation

28
Q

Functions of the genes in cancer translocations:

  • 8;14
  • 14;18
  • 11;14
  • 9;22
  • 15;17
A
  • 8;14: 8 = c-myc = TC activator = burkitts
  • 14;18: 18 = bcl-2 = blocks apoptosis = follicular
  • 11;14: 11 = cyclin D1 = cell cycle regulator = mantle cell
  • 9;22: 22 = abl = tyrosine kinase (cyto + nuc) = CML
  • 15;17: 15 = RAR = myelocyte differentiation = PAML
30
Q

glucose and heme synthesis

A

glucose inhibits ALA-synthase

Rx for AIP

(also blocked by heme)

31
Q

painless waxing and waning LAD

A

follicular lymphoma

32
Q

cachexia hormone

A

TNF-a (cachexin)

33
Q

microsomal monooxygenase

A

= CYP450

Overexpression converts more pro-carcinogens to carcinogens, increasing risk of cancer

34
Q

kid with blasts in periphery with trouble breathing and swallowing

A

T-ALL via mediastinal thymic mass

35
Q

Raltegravir

A

Prevents integration, thus host from making virus mRNA

36
Q

hematology drug causeing neutropenia presenting as fever and mouth ulcers

A

Ticlopidine (ADP-R blocker)

use only if allergic to asprin + clopidogrel

37
Q

PE:

acute management

vs

longterm prevention DOC

A

Acute = herparin

longterm = warfarin

38
Q

lymphocytosis + low ALP

39
Q

P glycoprotein mechanism

A

ATP-dependent transporter

in bacteria and cancer cells

40
Q

PUre recc cell aplasia: causes

A

IgG of CD8 against erythroid precursors/progenitors.

Often linked to thymomas and lymphocytic leukemias

41
Q

why do pregnancy catastrophies cause DIC?

A

Thromboplastin (TF/CF III) released from placenta

42
Q

Hemolysis in G6PD

A

INH, sulfonamides, dapsone, asprin, ibuprofen, primaquine, nitrofurantoin

43
Q

most important prognostic factor

A

STAGE = TMN (alnd invasion)

(NOT grade = level of differentiation)

44
Q

Myeloperoxidase +ve leukemia

A

AML

(also see auer rods, these are what stain)

45
Q

Isolated increase in BT

A

Bernard soulier (no GpIb)

ASA (decrease TXA2)

Uremia (platelets to aggregate/adhere properly)

46
Q

cisplatin/carboplatin nephrotoxicity rescue

A

Amifostine and chloride saline diuresis
