UW6 Flashcards
high uric acid levels, dystonic movements,tendency to bite own lips
Lysch Nyhan (HGPRT deficiency)
What enzyme is increased in lysch-nyhan syndrome
PRPP aminotransferase (due to accumulation of PRPP and in creased de novo purine synthesis) Xanthine oxidase increases due to degradation of xanthine and guanine to uric acid
Disorganized ( insight, abstract reasoning, planning), Disinhibited (judgement, inappropriate social behavior), apathetic (motivation, personality)
Frontal lobe syndrome
spatial and visual perception, writing and calculation, left to right differentiation, object identification
Parietal lobe damage
Language, difficulty with sensory interpretation, impaired memory
Temporal lobe damage
Pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin
functions as adenylate cyclase,increases cAMP levels causing edema and phagocyte dysfunction
tetany, aortic arch abnormalities, underdeveloped madible
DiGeorge ( 3rd pharyngeal pouch)
branchial cleft cyst
Second branchial cleft (pharyngeal groove)
gives rise to tissues innervated by 9th cranial nerve ( glossopharyngeal), stylopharyngeus m, hyoid bone, posterior 1/2 of tongue
3rd branchial arch
gives rise to tissues innervated by the superior laryngeal branch of vagus n and most muscles of the soft palate and pharynx
4th branchial arch
Criteria for schizoprenia
2 or more symptoms for >6 month of at least 1 positive symptom of delusions, hallucinations or disorganized speech. Negative symptoms: flat affect, lack of speech or thought, social withdrawal
Criteria for Manic episode
elevated, expansive or irritable mood for at least 1 week. At least 3 of the following: grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, pressured speech, flight of ideas, distractibility, psychomotor agitation
Bipolar I
Manic episode + major depressive episode
Bipolar II
hypomanic episode and depressive episode
cyclothymic disorder
Dysthymia and hypomania lasting 2 years
Respiratory distress, AMS, seizures, petechial rash over head, neck, thorax, axillae
Fat embolism
Cleft plalet, polydactylyl, rocker bottom feet
Patau (trisomy 13)
single palmar crease, endocardial cushion defect, duodenal atresia
Down syndrome, increased risk for AML, ALL, early alzheimer
TTX blocks which channels
voltage gated sodium channels
What channels does lidocaine block?
voltage gated sodium channels of sensory neurons, purkinje fibers and ventricular cells (anaesthetic and Class IB antiarrhythmic)
Autoantibodies in Pemphigus Vulgaris
Desmosomal proteins (desmoglein 3)
Autoantibodies in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
Cutaneous basement membrane proteins
Autoantibodies in bullous pemphigoid
Hemidesmosomal proteins (intact bullae) and mucosal involvment uncommon
What happens when baroreceptors are stimulated?
stimulated by stretch and increased BP leads to increased number of signals leading to decreased baroreceptor signaling
