pemphigus vulgas pathogenesis
autoantibodies target desmoglzins in the desmosomal junction which helps attach epidermal keratinocytes to each other
wit h this there will be deposits between keratinocytes and intraepithelial detachment of keratinocytes and retained keratinocytes along the basement membrane
benign growths composed of broad fascicles of rounded fibroblasts with abundant cytoplasm and significant surrounding collagenous matrix that infiltrates adjacent soft tissue
Desmond tumors
what can cause fragility fractures in a vigorously active woman
hypogonadtrvphic hypogonadism caused by vigorous excercise, low BMI or stress
causes decreases GnRH, FSH, and LH with decreased estrogen and accelerated bone loss
type 1 pneumocytes vs. type 2
type 1: gas exhange
type 2: production of surfactant and regeneration of alveolar epithelium
wernicke encephalopathy
mammillary body atrophy
**encephalopahty, oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia
patients with atrial fibrillation can be treated with chemical cardio version to receive rhythm control what are the options
amioderone, defetilide, flecainide, and sotalol
neisseria honorrhea causes gonorrhea with what virulence factor
pilli (this also is what gives it it variance- no vaccination)
CMV retinitis
cotton wool spots and retinal hemorrhage
(white opaque patches with hemorrhage at the retinal periphery)
usually in HIV patients with a CD4 count less than 50
treatment of CMV retinitis
ganciclovir which inhibits DNA chain elongation
inhibits DNA polymerase
can also use focarnet, or valancivlovir all of which interfere with DNA replication
special considerations for local anesthetics
if pt is allergic to ester compound use amide
if there is infected tissue there will need to be a higher dose (infection causes an acidic environment)
Lynch syndrome
AD mutation that leads to defective DNA mismatch repair with microsatilliate instability
-colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer
MSH2,MLH1, MSH6
medications used to treat BRAF positive melanomas
dabrafenib and vemurafenib which are BRAF inhibitors
CMV retinitis
cotton wool spots and retinal hemorrhage
(white opaque patches with hemorrhage at the retinal periphery)
usually in HIV patients with a CD4 count less than 50
wernicke encephalopathy
mammillary body atrophy
**encephalopahty, oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia
cocaine overdose signs and treatment
tachycardia, hypertension, pupillary dilation, agitation, hallucinations
treatment: bentos, Mixed a/b receptors blocker
ways RNA viruses can change genetic material
shift: reassortment that produces viral progeny and produces pandemics
drift: point mutations
DNA ligase
joins Okazaki fragment on lagging strand
recombination
gene exchange that occurs from 2 double stranded DNA molcueles from crossing over

autoantibodies target desmoglzins in the desmosomal junction which helps attach epidermal keratinocytes to each other
wit h this there will be deposits between keratinocytes and intraepithelial detachment of keratinocytes and retained keratinocytes along the basement membrane
classes of local anesthetics
esters (one i)
amides (two i’s)
signs of vitamin B6 deficiency
peripheral neuropathy, sideroblastic anemia (microcytic), chili tis, stomatitis, glossitis
primase
aka RNA polymerase
synthesizes RNA primer
mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors
sirolimus
benign growths composed of broad fascicles of rounded fibroblasts with abundant cytoplasm and significant surrounding collagenous matrix that infiltrates adjacent soft tissue
Desmond tumors
patients with atrial fibrillation can be treated with chemical cardio version to receive rhythm control what are the options
amioderone, defetilide, flecainide, and sotalol
biopsy of actinic keratosis shows
hyperkeratosis (thickening of the stratum corneum) and parakeratosis (nuclei in the stratum corneum)
vitamin E deficiency
biliary disease, pancreatitis, hemolytic anemia , muscle weakness, ataxia
signs of benzodiazepine overdose and treatment
ataxia, AMS, lethargy, slight respiratory depression
treatment: flumazenil ( inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase)
type 1 pneumocytes vs. type 2
type 1: gas exhange
type 2: production of surfactant and regeneration of alveolar epithelium
adverse effects of calcineurin inhibitors
dose dependent rise in BUN and creatinine levels and obliterative vasculopathy or the efferent and afferent arteries
what can cause fragility fractures in a vigorously active woman
hypogonadtrvphic hypogonadism caused by vigorous excercise, low BMI or stress
causes decreases GnRH, FSH, and LH with decreased estrogen and accelerated bone loss
