Q

how does hyperphosphatemia lead to hypocalcemia?

A
  1. it binds calicum in the blood and precipitates in soft tissues
  2. increased serum phosphate triggers the release of fibroblast growth factor 23 from bone, which in attempt to lower phosphate, inhibits 1-alpha hydroxylase, leading to less active 1,25vitD

16
Q

nitroprusside may lead to which toxicity?

A

cyanide poisoning

17
Q

how does sodium nitrite help treat cyanide toxicity?

A

promotes methemoglobin formation which binds with cyanide

18
Q

how does sodium thiosulfate help treat cyanide toxicity?

A

donates sulfur for the conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate which is excreted in urine

19
Q

how does hydroxycobalamin help treat cyanide toxicity?

A

binds to intracellular cyanide ions and forms cyanocobalmin, which is excreted in urine

20
Q

what will be elevated in the urine of someone with carcinoid syndrome?

A

5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA)

21
Q

how do the levels of lympochytes change with aging?

A

-you have decreased production of naive B cells and t lymphocytes. Much of the remaining lymphocyte pool differentiates into memory cells against previously encountered antigens.

22
Q

Why may vaccines be less effective in older individuals?

A

they have a decreased production of naive B cells

23
Q

explain myocardial hibernation?

A

-this may occur in response to myocardial to prevent cell necrosis. The myocardium reduces its metabolism and function to meet decreased oxygen supply, leading to decrease contractility

24
Q

who most commonly gets acalculous cholecystitis?

A

critically ill patients - may arise secondary to ischemia and gallbladder stasis

25
Q

a wide, fixed splitting of S2 is indicative of…

A

an ASD

26
Q

name two urease producing bacteria?

A

Proteus, klebsiella

27
Q

which two organisms can cause struvite kidney stones?

A

proteus and klebsiella

28
Q

is glycogen kinase activated in its phosphorylated or dephosphorylated form?

A

dephosphorylated

29
Q

how does insulin binding lead to glycogen synthesis?

A

Insulin binds its tyrosine kinase receptor ->phosphorylation of IRS-1 -> activation of both the P13K pathway for glycogen and lipid synthesis, as well as the RAS/MAPK pathway for cell growth

-PI3K promotes glycogen synthesis by activating a phosphatase, which dephosphorylates glycogen synthase

30
Q

how may a stroke of the internal capsule present?

A

upper motor neuron lesion symtpoms on the contralateral side of the body

31
Q

dermatomyositis may occur secondarily to which conditions?

A

it may occur as a paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to underlying cancers (commonly adenocarcinomas -ovary, lung, pancreas, etc.)

32
Q

what is c-myc?

A

a transcription activator - controls cell differentiation, apoptosis, etc.

33
Q

how is urticaria (hives) characterized histologiclly?

A

edema of the superfical dermis with inflammatory infiltrate
