UW17 Flashcards
Vascular lesion with IgA and C3 deposition
HSP
Henoch Schonlein purpura
Palpable purpura, arthralgia, GI pain. IgA and C3 deposition. Associated with IgA nephropathy
saddle nose, oligouria
Wegener’s (granulomatosis with polyangiitis)
Weak upper extremity pulses, fever, night sweats, arthritis, myalgia
Takayasu arteritis
Headache, blurred vision, jaw cladicaton
Temporal giant cell arteritis. Associated with polymyalgia rheumatica
IFN-y is secreted by
Secreted by TH1 cells
IL-12 is secreted by
macrophages which induce T cell differentiation into Th1
pyknotic superficial or immature squamous cell with dense irregularly staining cytoplasm and perinuclear clearing
Koilocyte
total resistance in organ
R(artery+arteriole+capillary+venule+vein)
resistance in a parallel circuit
1/Rn
Nitroprusside
venous and arterial vasodilator. Decreases preload and afterload without a reduction in stroke volume
Which artery supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle (diaphragmatic surface)
Posterior descending (RCA)
histological findings in Hashimoto
Mononuclear infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells with germinal centers. Oxyphilic cells with granular cytoplasm (Hurthle cells)
branching papillary structures with concentric calcifications in thyroid. Ground glass nucleus with intranuclear grooving
papillary thyroid cancer
Mixed, cellular infiltration with occasional multinuclear cells in thyroid
de Quervain’s
Extensive fibrosis of thyroid gland extending into surrounding structures
Riedel’s thyroiditis
Cleft lip is a failure fusion of what structures?
Maxillary prominences with the intermaxillary segment
Cleft palate is a failure of fusion of what structures
Maxillary prominence failure to fuse with one another or with the primary palate
Why does folate deficiency cause megalobastic anemia?
decreased dTMP production ( requires THF to donate a methyl group)
What else do you can you add to folate to treat megaloblastic anemia
Thymidine (increase dTMP) via thymidine kinase to make dTMP
Accumulation of transudative fluid can be due to what mechanisms
Increase capillary hydrostatic pressure (increase arteriolar dilation or impaired venous return). Decreased plasma oncotic pressure (decreased albumin). Sodium and water retention. Lymphatic obstruction (invasive malignancy)
How does inspiration affect venous return?
Increases venous return which increases right heart volumes
What is pulsus paradoxus
increased volume from inspiration pushes septum towards left to derease left heart volumes causing a decrease in BP during inspiration. Decrease in systolic BP greater than 10 with inspiration. Suggests cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy
Killed vaccines
cholera, hepA, Salk Polio, IM influenza, rabies
Live attenuated
MMR, Sabin Polio,yellow fever
Toxoid vaccine
Diptheria and tetanus
Recombinant surface protein vaccine
Hep B vaccine
Drugs used for secretory diarrhea
Bismuth subsalicylate, probiotics, octreotide
Rhonchi, wheezing indicate
turbulent airflow due to obstruction
Hernia that enters internal inguinal ring lateral to inferior epigastric vessels.
Indirect inguinal ( failure of inguinal ring to close seen in infants)
