Test 71 Flashcards
46 xx genotype
COMPLETE ROLE
ovum loses its maternal chromosomes and then becomes fertilized by a haploid sperm> duplication of the paternal genetic component> 46 XX
size greater than dates
high BCG levels
synringomyelia
bilateral loss of P/T
HIgh intraplaque activity of what enzyme can predispose a pt to MI?
plaque stability depends on mechanical strenght of overlying fibrous cap
inflam mphages in the intimacan reduce plaque stability by secreting metalloproteinases which degrade collagin!
Ventromedial hypo nuclei
satiety center
regulates food INTAKE
lesion> hyperphagia/aggressive behavior
Lateral nuclei
hunger
lesion> lose desire to eat
decreases LDL
statins
decrease TGs
Fibrates:
gemifibrozil
fenofibrate
increase HDL
Niacin
Common cause of secondary hyperPTH
chronic renal failure
HIGH PTH
low Ca
high phosphate
low calcitriol
calcitriol
increases Ca and pohosphate absorption> chronic renal disease> decreased calcitriol>
decrsaed Ca absorption and increased Ca loss in the urine
presents as gross hematuria in an elderly man
transitional cell carcinoma
RF for developing transitional cell carcinoma
smoking exposure to rubber plastics aromatic amine containing dyes textiles lether
ETEC
produces heat labile (LT, choleragen like) and heat stable (ST) enterotoxins
LT>
actiavte AC>
incrased cAMP
ST> GC> increased cGMP
watery diarrhea
CSF from third to fourth ventricle
cerebral aqueduct
obstrutction foramen of monro
enlargement of lateral ventricle
