Aorta
recurrent infections by neisseria species
deficiency of complement factors
high fever chills altered mentaiton petechial skin rash septic shock
neisseria induced small vessel vasculitis
tx for N. meningitidis
ceftriaxone at least 2 weeks
1/ARR
NNT
Lower NNT > more beneficial treatment
MOA of cocaine
inhibits presynaptic reuptake of NE, DA, 5HT
agitation
tachycardia
HTN
light repsponsive mydriasis
increased SNS activity
Cocaine
potent vasoconstrictor that can cause myocardial ischemia (due to increased SNS activity) and atrophy of nasal mucosa/septum (intranasal use)
cocaine
blocks tyrosine hydoxylase>
decreased levels of catecholamines/SNS effects
metyrosine
conversion of tyrosine to DOPA
blocks monoamine entry into presynaptic vesicles> sympatholytic effects
Reserpine
COMT inhibitors that PROLONG the effects of levodopa tx in pts w/ parkinsons
entacapone
tocalpone
sensation of excessive motion compared to physical reality
vertigo
dysfunction in vestibular system
Neonate w/ swellin gof the hands (lymphedema) and cystic hygromas (cystic spaces separated by CT rich in lymphoid aggregates)
TUrners
**d/t abnormalities of lymph outflow
cystic hygroma
tumors usually located on the neck that are present at birth
roud face
microcephaly
ccat like cry
cri du caht
neonate w/ 46 XY that appears to be a phenotypically normal female but has a blind ended vaginal pouch with NO uterus
Androgen insensitivity syndrome
- defect in testosterone receptors
- this pt would develop testes b/c testosterone
Phosphodiesterase inhibitor used in pts w/ intermittent claudication
Cilostazol
Inhibits platelet aggregation (increasing cAMP) and is a direct arterial vasodilator
Cilostazol
*good treatment for peripheral artery disease
direct thrombin inhibitor largely used to tx heparin induced thrombocytopenia
agratroban
competitive inhibitor of Vit K epoxide reductase used to tx/prevent thromboembolic events
warfarin
short t1/2 that activates antithrombin to cdecrase thrombin and factor XA
Heparin
*prevents thromboembolic events
converts plasminogen to plasmin to aid in fibrinoilysis
tPA
block the platelet ADP receptor, allowing Gp+ IIb/IIIa to function apropriately
ticlodipine
clopidogrel
monoclonal ab that inhibits platelet aggregation by targeting IIb/IIIa receptor
abciximab
