100
Q

Describe the RANK pathway and the “vicious cycle” of bone erosion.

A

tumors produce PTH-like protein –>
PTHrP binds to osteoblasts, makes them upregulate RANKL—->
More RANKL binds to Monocyte precursors of osteoclasts— >
osteoclasts eat up bone , releasing growth factors—>
growth factors feed tumor.

labs, CT chest/abdomen/pelvis

Surgery  Goals (if metastatic) = prevent fracture, restore function, alleviate pain (not cure)
Radiation goals == pain relief
Chemo goals = pain relief / palliative
102

less than 1/100. almost always metastasis!

103
Q

Pneumonic for all the types of cancer that metastasize to bone

A

=BLT with Pickles and Ketchup

Breast, Lung, thyroid, prostate, kidney

104
Q

carcinoma usually spreads via

A

lymph

105
Q

What is a really important finding for bone weakness/cancer?

A

if pain increases with weight bearing.

106
Q

What are important labs to take in bone tumors

A
  • CBC
  • Serum Ca levels.
  • SPEP / UPEP for myeloma
107
Q

MOST important study to do with bone tumor

A

CT of chest/abdomen/pelvis

-covers many organs with met to bone - breast, lung, kidneys, colon, prostate.

108
Q

bone-specific agents to reduce “vicious cycle” and inhibit osteoclasts

A
  • bisphosphonates (Zoledronic acid)
  • > induce osteoclast apoptosis

-Denosumab- binds to RANKL, blocking osteoclast maturation

109
Q

__% of primary care visits are related to Osteoarthritis

A

30

Q

Uric acid = the end produce of ___ metabolism

A

Purine

141
Q

Pathophysiology of gout

A

hyperuricemia –> trigger(cold, decreased O2 tension) –> crystal deposition –> macrophages try to eat the crystals and are lysed, releasing cytokines.—> inflammatory response occurs

142
Q

gout activates the ___ arm of the immune system.

A

innate.

143
Q

What are the things that lead to hyperuricema?

A

Diet (meat)

  • alcohol (beer)
  • fructose

Underexcretion of uric acid (much more common than overproduction of uric acid)

144
Q

crystal exam of gout

A

Negatively birefringent
intracellular
parallel yellow
perpendicular to the arrow –>blue

145
Q

Mechanism of colchicine

A

inhibits assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, turns off cytokine cascade, decreasing inflammation

146
Q

indications for urate lowering therapy

A
  • 1 gout attack and chronic kidney disease
  • presence of tophi
  • > 2 attacks / year
  • history of urolithiasis (kidney stones)
147
Q

what are the zanthine oxidase inhibitors and what are their mechanisms?

A

Allopurinol and Febuxostat

They stop purine metabolism, stopping formation of uric acid.

148
Q

2nd line gout treatment

A

Uricosurics - they increase the renal excretion of uric acid. Used in monotherapy or combination with Xanthine oxidase inhibitors.

149
Q

Difference b/t gout and CPPD

A

CPPD = big toe involvement uncommon

150
Q

Crystal diagnosis of CPPD

A

ABC
Aligned Blue Calcium
positively birefringence.

151
Q

dimensional perspective variables in psychiatry

A

continuous variables

  • intelligence
  • temperament.
152
Q

key brain area in depression

A 
limbic system/ hippocampus
Subgenual cortex (cg25) -this area is overactive in depresesd folks - goal is to inhibit activity in this area.
153
Q

glucocorticoid cascade hypothesis

A

hypothesizes that stress levels/glucocorticoids damage the hippocampus, predisposing to depression - based on work with babboons.

154
Q

neurotrophic model of depression

A

stress leads to decreased neurotropins–> decreased neuron size in hippocampus.

155
Q

examples of neurotropins

A

BDNF nd NT3
