UW5 Flashcards
Which regulatory genes of HIV are required for replication?
Tat and rev
what does the HIV gag protein encode?
Structural genes for viron assembly, nucleocapside proteins p24 and p7
What does the HIV pol protein encode?
Reverse transcriptase
What does the HIV env protein encode
envelope glycoproteins gp 120 and gp 41
what are homeobox genes important for?
Sequential development of organs and tissues during embryogenesis
muscle stiffness and cyanotic skin mottling after inhaled anesthetic
Malignant hyperthermia which causes fever and severe muscle contractions after inhaled anesthetics and succinylcholine
Treatment for malignant hyperthermia
Dantrolene which acts on ryanodine receptor to prevent further release of Ca into cytoplasm of muscle fibers
when does acute organ transplant occur?
1 to 4 weeks after transplant. Rejection is mediated by T cell sensitization against graft MHC
Perivascular infiltrate with abundant eosinophil on endomyocardial biopsy after intiation of a new drug
hypersensitivity myocarditis
Scant inflammatory cells and intersitial fibrosis on endomyocardial biopsy
Chronic transplant rejection mediated by lymphocytes and antibodies months to years after transplant
Dense mononuclear lymphocytic infiltrate with cardiac myocyte damage on endomyocardial biopsy
Acute transplant rejection
Vitamin required to maintain differentialize of specialized epithelia (mucus secreting columnar epitheium, conjunctivia, respiratory and urinary tract and exocrine glands)
Vitamin A
Deficiency in Vitamin E
Infertility and decrease in serum phospholipids
Deficiency in Vitamin D
Rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults
Mutation in Wilms tumor
WT-1 or 2
Corkscrew esophagus on esophagogram
Diffuse Esophageal spasm
Pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis
Consider pulmonary embolism
ACTH stimulation does not increase serum cortisol
Primary adrenal insufficiency
Labs in primary adrenal insufficiency
Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia, non-anion gap metabolic acidosis
fever, nucal rigidity after neurosurgery
Staphylococcus meningitis
Rinne and weber in conductive hearing loss
Rinne: abnormal bone >air. Localized to affect ear
Sensorineural Rinne and weber test
Normal rinne, weber localizes to unaffected ear
brain tumor with concentrically arranged cells and psammoma bodies
meningioma (commonly in parasagittal region)
brain tumor causing tinnitus and unilateral hearing loss
acousting neuroma or tumors in cerebellopontine angle
