Test 22 Flashcards
teratogenic effects of valproate
inhibits folATE absorption> neural tube defects
Coarctation of the aorta
Turner syndrome
duodenal atresia
Down syndrome (bilious vomiting w/out abdominal distension)
Potter Syndrome
renal agenesis
Atrialized right ventricle in mothers who take litheium during early pregnancy
ebstein’s anomaly
Functions of type II pneumocytes
regenerate alveolar lining after injury (proliferate)
surfactant production
*cover 5% of alveolar surface
Derived from monocytes
clear inhaled foreign particles from terminal respiratory units
alveolar mphages
pseudostratified cilliated columnar epithelium tapers and becomes a single ciliated cuboidal epithelium
respiratory bronchioles
*ciliated cells do NOT line alveolar ducts or air sacs
Club cells
secretory cells found in temrinal portions of bronchioles
*regenerative source of ciliated cells
Goblet cells
in the respiratory epithelium of bronchi and larger bronchioles
Absent from alveolar mucosa
Increased HR, Increased CO, increased RR to balance tissue O2 consumption and CO2
exercise
Increased HR, CO but decrease in PaO2/PaCO2 d/t hypoxemia
high altitude
leads to hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis
Decreased CO w/ compensatory tachycardia that leads to hypoxemia
PE
Decreased blood flow to left side of heart
Hypoxemia stimulates lung vagal receptors ischemic parenchyma leading to hyperventilatin nad respiratory alkalosis
Carotid sinus massage
reflex vagal discharge to SA node, atrial myocytes, AV node>
reduction in HR and CO
Panic attack
Raise in HR and CO via SNS stimulatuion, but hyperventilation adn respiratory alkalosis
High cortisol w/ low ACTH
Cushing syndrome adrenal adenoma
high cortisol and elevated ACTH levels, suppressed by HIGH dose but not LOW dose dex
Cushing syndrome by pituitary adenoma
ACTH and cortisol unchanged after high dose dex test
ectopic ACTH production
Pufferfish poisoning
terodotoxin
Binds to Na channels inhibiting Na INFLUX and preventing AP conduction
Tetrodotoxin (puffer fish)
Saxitoxin (dinoflagellates- red tide)
Paresthesias, weakness, dizziness, nausea, hx of fish consumption
Poisoning by puffer fish
Binds to Na channel and keps it OPEN causing persistent depolarization
Ciguatoxin (exotic fish, moray eel)
Bratrachotoxin (south american frogs)
person legally designated to make medical decisions in event that pt loses capacity
health care proxy
*proxy overrules ALL other possible surrogate decision makers including family members
Monitors and maintains muscle LENGTH
muscle spindle system
