what causes the inflammatory response in gram negative septic shock?
Lipid A of LPS
32
Atenolol
Selective B1 antagonist which decreases HR and decreases renin release. B1 receptors are found on cardiac tissue and on renal juxtaglomerular cells. Not on vascular smooth muscle.

34
loss of strength with preserved vibratory senses after a disc herniation
Anterior spinal injury
35
regulation of the lac operon
Negatively by binding of repressor protein to the operator locus. Positively by cAMP-CAP binding
36
How lactose affect production of B-galactosidase in the lac operon
presence of lactose prevents repressor from binding operator. Regulatory gene is always making Repressor protein
37
How does cAMP affect the lac operon?
increased cAMP binding causes CAP (catabolite activator protein) to bind in low glucose situations
38
Basic amino acids
Lysine, Histidine, Arginine
39
When do proteins dissociate in a solution?
When pH exceeds PKA. Physiologic pH=7.4

43
Diplopia when reading newspaper or walking down stairs
Vertical diplopia due to lesion of trochlear nerve
44
how do Thiazides increase Ca reabsorption
Inhibits Na/Cl- co transporter to decrease intracellular Na. Leads to activation of basolateral Na/Ca antiporter resulting decrease in intracellular Ca leading to an increase in Ca reabsorption. Also, hypovoluemia causes an increase in Na and water reabsorption in PT (and thus paracellular Ca reabsorption)
45

64
What are the end products of the HMP shunt
NADPH ( glutathione, fatty acid, cholesterol synthesis) and Ribose 5 P for nucleotides
65
Diagnosed with UTI a few days ago
probably prescribed TMP-SMX
66
What enzyme is required to make ribose 5 P in the HMP shunt?

small auricular branch of the vagus nerve
70
what innervates the external auditory canal
mandibular division of trigeminal
71
What are the changes that result from high altitude?
Decreased oxygen tension (decreases PaO2) causes increase in ventilation leading to respiratory alkalosis (breathe off CO2). Which is compensated by decreasing bicarb
72
Mechanism of action for Raltegravir
integrade inhibitor that disrupts ability of HIV to integrate into genome innto host chromosomes and thus prevent mRNA synthesis
73
Enfuvirtide
Brug that binds to gp41 to prevent viral membrane fusion (fusion inhibitors)

Case- control study
compares people with disease to group without disease. (looks for risk factors)
76
Cohort study
Group with a given exposure to a group without exposure (looks for liklihood of developing disease)
77
Isoniazid requires what enzyme to be activated in bacteria?
Catalase-peroxidase
78
Pyrazinamide
Used for TB. Is converted to pyrainoic acid which lowers the pH. Must be converted to active form by pyrazinamidase
79
How can TB become resistant to Ethambutol?
increasing production of arabinosyl transferase (component of cell wall) because ethambutol inhibits cell wall synthesis
80
What Hb is elevated in beta thalassemia?
HbA2 due to decreased synthesis of HbA (under production of B globin chain)
