33
Q

cardiac SE of doxorubicin (daunorubicin, epirubicin, BICINS)

A

form FREE radicals in the myocardium> dose related dilated CARDIOMYOPATHY>
SXS of L and R ventricular CHF

34
Q

9yo
red colored urine, periorbital edema, mild pedal edema
atopic dermatitis> predisposure to secondary skin infections
impetigo

A

Antecedent skin infection + acute hematuria and edema> PSGN

35
Q

36
Q

Abs form against Ag expressed by GAS during infection. Ab combine w/ AG to form ICs (type III) that are deposited along BM

A

PSGN

GAS- impetigo, cellulitis, pharyngitis

37
Q

second MC cause of CAH

A

11B hydroxylase def

prevents adrenal gland from synthesizing cortisol and aldosterone efficiently laeding to increased production of adrenal androgens d/t aldosterone and cortisol precursors being shifted there. Low cortisol further stimualtes production of ACTH> further increase in adrenal androgens

38

21 hydroxylase def

40
Q

Female w/ ambiguous genitalia (androgen excess) and HYPOTN and HYPOkalemia (mineralcorticoid def)

A

21 hydroxylase def

41
Q

Females are born with NORMAL genitalia but males are undervirillized. AFfected individuals DONT undergo puberty and develop HTN and hypokalemia (excess mineralcorticoids)

A

17a hydroxylase

42
Q

lesions> chorea and athetosis (slow writhing of fingrs/movements)

44
Q

Integrates body state and emotions with ANS and conscious experience of vsiceral sensations

A

insular cortex

45
Q

initiates movements

lesions> contralateral tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity

46
