Test 47 Flashcards
one week after surgery a liver tx pt develops a SKIN RASH and bloody diarrhea
GVHD
commonly occurs after allogenic bone marrow transplant and organs rich in lymphocytes (like hte liver) or the transfusion of non-radiated blood
GVHD
T lymphocytes of donor tissue are sensitized against MHC Ag of recipient
skin, liver, intestine most commonly involved
GVHD
weakness of muscles and EOM> ptosis and diplopiam
MG
majority of pts w/ MG commonly have….
thymoma or thymic hyperplasia
associated w/ 3rd pharyngeal pouch
thymus and inferior PTH glands
Lamotrigine
blocks VG Na channels
SE of Lamotrigine
SJS
toxic epidermal necrolysis
flu like sxs followed by widespread mucocutaneous epidermal necrosis
SNS innervation of adrenal and sweat glands
cholingergic fibers
SNS innervation to viscera/target organs
noradrenergic (NE)
what makes eukaryotic DNA synthesis quick and effective despite the large genome compared to prokaryotic
multiple origins of replicaiton
incrased activity of what enzyme is most liekly to promote recurrrent adenoma devleopment?
cox 2
lowers incidence of adenomas
aspirin
why do women develop gallstones during pregnancy?
estrongen–> increases cholesterol syntehsis by upregulating HMG-CoA–> bile to become supersaturated w/ cholesterol
progesterone–> reduces bile acid secretion and slows gallbladder emptying
what is responsible for increased incidence of cholelithiasis in women who are pregnant/using OCPs?
estrogen induced cholesterol hypersecretion
progesterone induced GB hypomotility
what replaces infarcted CNS tissue?
cystic astroglial scar
abnormal Rinne test in affected ear and Weber test localizes to affected ear
conductive hearing loss
bone conduction> air conduction
normal Rinne, Weber localizes to unaffected ear
sensorineural
air conduction > bone conduction
normal Rinne, Weber localizes to unaffected ear
sensorineural
air conduction > bone conduction
Rinne test
Compares vibrating tuning fork on mastoid bone vs. external ear
Air conducted sound is normally LOUDER nad longer heard than bone conducted sound
postive rinne test
NORMAL
sound is heard best at EAM
abnormal Rinne
pt hears vibration better at mastoid
conductive hearing loss
Weber test
vibrating tuning fork on middle of forehead
conductive hearling loss weber test
latearlization to AFFECTED ear> conduction masks the ambient nose in the room> vibraton to be better heard
