UW9 Flashcards
JVD, hypotension, tachycardia
cardiac tamponade vs. tension pneumothorax
Signs of tamponade
hypotension, distended neck veins, distant heart sound (Beck triad), tachycardia. Pulses paradoxes
signs of acute fibrinous pericarditis
Pleuritic chest pain and pericardial friction rub
what will you hear on auscultation in cardiogenic shock
rales ( pulmonary edema)
initial stage of septic shock
lower vascular resistance and increased cardiac output
quadriplegia, pseudobulbar palsy ( head neck muscle weakness, dysphagia, dysarthria)
central pontine myelinolysis
Rapid correction of hypernatremia
Cerebral edema/ herniation
aromatase
converts androstenedione to estrone. Testosterol to estradiol
high androgen and low estrogen levels in a female fetus. Maternal virulization
Aromatase deficiency
Maternal Hirsutism, clitoromegaly, femal pseudohermaphrodism, primary amonorrhea, osteoporosis, tall stature
Aromatase deficiency
ambiguous genitalia, hypotension
21 hydroxylase deficiency
ambiguous genitalia, hypertension
17 hydroxylase deficiency
what is accomodation
Focusing on near objections (reading)
what happens in accomodation
ciliary muscle contraction relaxes zonular fibers causes thickening of lens ( more convex)
presbyopia
inability to focus on near objects. Impaired lens elasticity from protein denaturation, diminished ciliary muscle strength (image focuses behind retina)
Myopia
image focuses in front of retina. Presbyopia can compensate for myopia
Risks for femoral head osteonecrosis
vasculitis (lupus), corticoisteroids, sickle cell, alcoholism
dermal and epithermal thinning, fattening of dermoepidermal junction, decreased number of fibroblasts and reduced synthesis and increased breakdown of collagen and elastin
Skin rhytides (wrinkles) due to aging
Ciliary mucles and zonular fibers in relaxed pupil
Ciliary muscle relaxed and zolular fibers contracted (lens flattened)
Ciliary mucles and zonular fibers in accomodated pupil
Ciliary muscle contracted and zolular fibers relaxed (thickening of lens)
Lens changes in prebyopia
Hardened lens is unable to thicken leading to loss of accomodation (cant focus on near objections)
findings in isolated diastolic heart failure. LVEDP, LVEDV, LV ejection fraction
increased end diastolic pressure, normal end diastolic volume, normal ejection fraction
diastolic heart failure can be due to
impaired myocardial relaxation or increased intrinsic ventricular wall stiffness (amyloid). Filling problem = ejection fraction is normal
what is the problem in diastolic heart failure
filling problem (decreased ventricular compliance) which means end diastolic volume is decreased.
what can cause systolic heart failure
acute massive MI
What is the problem in systolic heart failure
decreased contractility. Decrease ejection fraction, decreases stroke volume and cardiac output. EDP and EFV must both increase to maintain normal cardiac ouput
excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, impotence, poor judgement, depression, snoring
obstructive sleep apnea
Abnormal ventilation during sleep
- Apnea ( cessation of breathing >10 s) or 2. hypopnea (redued airflow) SaO2 decreases >4%
poor REM sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, sleep attacks, sleep paralysis
Narcolepsy
increased PaCO2, reduced PaO2 in obesity
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Obesity impedes expansion of chest wall leading to decreased respiratory drive.
How many calories are in a gram of protein or carb?
4
how many calories are in a gram of fat?
9
how does inspiration affect alveolar vessels
Increased lung v. cause alveolar expansion which reduces the diameter of alveolar blood vessels. Increases vessel resistance
How does expiration affect extraalveolar vessels
Decreased lung volumes cause extraalveolar arteries to become narrow leading to increase in vessel resistance
When is pulmonary vascular resistance the lowest?
At functional residual capacity (inspiration and expiration both increase resistance in vessels)
Side effect of Amphotericin B
Nephrotoxic. Causes a decrease in GFR and has direct toxic effects on tubular epithelium. Hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia (increased permeability of distal tubule)
ECG findings in hypokalemia
T wave flattening, ST depression, prominent U waves, PVC
Side effect of doxorubicin
Dose dependent cardiotoxicity
Chloramphenicol, zidovudine, phenybutazone, gold containing medications are examples of drugs that can cause what side effect
Bone marrow suppression
Acetaminophen and halothane are examples of medications that can cause what side effect
liver necrosis
what are some drugs that can cause pulmonary fibrosis
Busulfan and bleomycin
sudden onset abdominal pain, gross hematuria, new varicocele
renal vein thrombosis
maltese cross under polarized light
oval fat bodies in urine. Lipiduria due to increased synthesis of lipoproteins by liver in nephrotic syndrome
what are some proteins that can be loss in nephrotic syndrome
Albumin (edema), ATIII (hypercoagulable), Immunoglobulins (infections)
Mechanism of Nesiritide
recombinant BNP used for decompensated LV dysfunction leading to congestive heart failure
Where are ANP and BNP secreted from
ANP from atria and BNP from ventricle. Vasodilation, diuresis, natriuresis and decrease in BP
Endothelin
vasoconstriction
transmural inflammation of arterial wall with fibrinoid necrosis
Polyarteritis nodosa
vasculitis linked to smoking
atherosclerosis, thromboangiitis obliterans
Vasculitis linked to asthma
Churg strauss
vasculitis: granulomas with eosinophilic necrosis in smaller vessels
Churg strauss
most common vasculitis from antibiotic use
Microscopic polyangiitis ( type III HSR) often due to Penicillin
pes cavus
high plantar arch
Pes cavus, hyphoscoliosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, DM
Friedreich ataxia (chr 9 frataxin gene) AR
degeneration of spinocerebellar tracts causing gait ataxia, loss of position and vibration sensation, muscle weakness
Friederich ataxia
why is there an increased risk of TB in silicosis
impairs macrophage kiling of phagocytosed mycobacteria due to disruption of phagolysosome
negative skin TB test after M. TB exposure suggests
weak cell mediated immune response seenin HIV, Sarcoidosis
what transporter does the liver use to pick up unconjugated bilirubin
Organic anion transporting polypeptide
How does conjugated bilirubin exist the liver?
active transport by ATP Binding Cassette protein (MRP2)- organic anion transporter into biliary system
isolated conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
inhibition of canalicular active organic anion transporter that secretes conjugated bili into biliary system
unconjugated hyper-bili
excessive production of bili, decreased uptake, impaired conjugation
conjugated hyper-bili
