Test 57 Flashcards
what failed in a pt is a cecum in an infant is fixed to the right upper abdominal qunadrant
midgut rotation around the SMA
fixed with fibroius bands (ladds bands) to second part of duodenum
hindgut descent along IMA
occurs after midgut returns to abdominal cavity
hPL
increases insulin resistance, stimulates proteolysis, lipolysis and inhibits gluconeogenesis
maternal insulin resistance cause
increased secretion of hPL, placental growth hormone, estrogens, progesteronea nd glucocorticoids
major Ab associated w/ mucosal immunity
secretory IgA
which polio vaccine genreates a more robust immune response
live attenuated oral vaccine (Sabin) produces a stronger mucosal secretory IgA response thatn the inativated vaccine
increases mucoal IgA offers immune protection at site of viral entry by inhibiting attachment ot intestinal epithelial cells
radiolucent ( not seen on plain abdominal films) kidney stones
uric acid stones (visualized instaed on US)
kidney stones seen on plain abdominal x ray
radiopaque
Ca oxalate/Ca phosphate
struvite (magnesium)
cysteine
colorless octahedron
crossed by diagonal line
ca oxalate
ca phosphate
rectangular prism (coffin lid)
struvite)
flat, yelllow, hexagonal
cystine
flat, yelllow, hexagonal
cystine
used to isolate neisseria species
thayer martin selective medium
chocolate agart w/ vanco, colistin, nystatin, TMP
provides some cutaneous sensation to the posterior external auditory canal via small auricular branch;
stimulation leads to vasovagal episode
vagus nerve
sensation to rest of external auditory canal
CN V3
cardiomegaly
pleural effusion
kerley B lines
increased vascular shadowing bilaterally
left ventricular failure
leads to bile precipitation and formation of biliary sludge
GB hypomotility
RFs for GB hypomotility
pregnancy
rapid weight loss
prolonged us of TPN/ocreotide
spinal cord injuries
brown pigment stones
biliary tract infeciton
black pigment stones
intravascular hemolysis
chronic diarrhea and mild hemolytic anemia in pt w/ CF
vit E def d/t to fat malabsorption
def leads to increased susceptibility of neuronal and RBC membranes to oxidative stress
PAH
filtered and secreted by glomerulusa nd renal tubules and used to estimate RPF
