Test 73 Flashcards
purpose of blinding
prevent pt or researcher expectancy from itnerfering w/ outcome
SE of loop diuretics (HIGH doses, rapid IV administration)
usually reversible but can be permanent
ototoxicity
SE of HCTZ
hypokalemia
hyponatremia
hypomagnesemia
MC SE of spirnonolcatone
hyperkalemia
major stimulator of respoiration in healthy ppl
PaCO2
slight increase > increased pulmonary ventilation
responsible for sensing arterial PaO2 and can be suppressed with oxygen administration
Peripheral chemoreceptors
respond to HYPOXEMIA
major stimulator of cenral chemoreceptors
increased PaCO2
regulate the duration of inspiration and protect the lung from hyperinflation
pulmonary stretch receptors
hematuria plus renal mass
RCC
AD
cerebellar hemangioblastoma
clear cell renal carcinomas
pheochromocytomas
VHL on chrom 3
RCC is major cuase of death
WT-1 muation
wilms tumor on chrom 11
vertical diplopia (reading the newspaper, walking down stairs)
trochlear nerve palsy
vertical and horizontal diplopia
ptosis
enlarged and nonreactive pupil
CN III
horizontal diplopia and esotropia (inward deviation)
CN 6
impaired horizontal eye movement and weak addection of affected eye w/ adduction nystagumus
MLF lesion
lactose challenge
Give lactose then measure blood glucose levels> if don’t incrase lactose intolerance is confirmed
results in lactase def pt
increased stool osmotic gap
increased breath H content
decreased stool pH upon lactose challenge
majority of water absorption in the nephron
Proximal tubule passively w/ reabsorption of solutes
positive for anti-HBsAg but negative for HBsAg
immunized
