Test 63 Flashcards
retinal neovascularization d/t increased VEGF levels
Wet age related macular degeneration
ACUTE vision loss
metamorphosia (distorition o fstraight lines) w/ funduscopy showin gray-green subretinal membrane/subretinal hemorrhage
Wet age reatled macular degeneration
Tx for wet age related mac degeneration
smoking cessation
VEGF inhibitor therapy
*ranibizumba
bevacizumab
drusen deposits
gradual vision loss
Dry AMD
CCR5
+CDR4 bind to HIV gp120
coreceptor that enables HIV to enter cells
*deletion of both genes that code for receptor> resistance to HIV infection
vulnerable to injury around the neck of the fibula
common peroneal nerve
weakness of dorsiflexion
weakness of eversion
loss of sensation over dorsum of foot
deep peroneal
superficial peroneal
inversion
plkantarflexion
tibial nerve
intermittent respiratory sxs in pt w/ normal CSR, occasional sputum eosinophils, reduced FEV1
asthma
*often provoked by inahled allergens like pet dander
Cold air asthma
asthma attacks in pts w/ exercise induced asthma
B2 agonists
abuterol
used to tx asthma
transmissoin HAV
F-O route
overcrowding
poor sanitation
contaminated, water, food, RAW STEAMED SHELLFISH
hemolytic anemia
hypercoagulability
pancytopenia
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
*PIGA gene that leads to absecne of CD55 and cD59 complement inhibitor proteins (lysis of RBCS)
cancers in DS
ALL
AML
BOTH ACUTE
Cardiact tissue conduction velocity
Park At VENTura AVenude
FASTEST: purkingje> atrial> ventricular> AV node
VIPomas
non beta cell pancreatic islet cell tumor that hypersecrete VIP
VIP increases intestinal Cl loss into stool> excess loss of water, Na, K
also inhibits acid secretion
“pancreatic cholera”
WDHA syndrome (watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, achlorhydria)
TX VIP
Somatosatatin
