fasciola life cycel
and phases of infection
immature eggs shed
eggs >miracidia
miracidia invades snails
snails made and released in cercaia. encysts on aquatic vegetation as metacercaia
-mamals injest the metacercaia**
-metacercaia become adult flukes in the mammal
acute phase: takes 2 -4 months for migration of larvae to liver with generalized flu sx
latent phase is asymptomatic while the parasite matures
chronic phase: biliary colic, no fatty foods, obstructive jaundice, pruitis

diabetes inspidedus is almost always of _________ origin
hypothalamic origin
-posterior pituitary dysfunction
Postpartum necrosis of the anterior pituitary
sheehan syndrome- hypopituitarism
-during pregnancy the antior pituitary doubles in size but may not have an inc in blood supply…hypoxia
stimulation and supression test
for. hypopituitarism
-give insulin to make the body in a stressful hypoglycemia state. also gives TRH and GnRH…ant pituitary should stip out prolactin, cortosol, and GH

management of diabetic keto acidosis
-saline solution for rehydration,
-insulin IV
-potassium supplements
-bicarbonate sometimes
due to severe dehydration resulting from sustained osmotic diuresis
Hyperosmolar Hyperosmotic Syndrome
-you got diabetes and you dont drink water…in DN2 there is relative insulin insufficiency which will prevent ketoacidosis but will not prevent hyperglycemia and then the dehydration
