UWA1 Flashcards
acute onset lung dysfunction, pulmonary edema, normal LA pressure and PaO2/FIO2
ARDS
pathogenesis of ARDS
injury to the endothelial cells that allows fluid to enter the alveoli leading to respiratory compromise during initial exudative stage. Followed by proliferative stage where edema resolves and there is proliferation of type II pneumocytes
What does ARDS look like on CXR
Near complete opacification with obscured cardiomediastinal sihoulette. Fluffy, diffuse, alveolar infiltrates
cardiac conduction velocity
Purkinje > Atrial > Ventricular > AV node
what bone tumor is associated with Paget’s disease?
Osteosarcoma
Characteristic findings of osteosarcoma
periosteal elevation and reactive new bone formation. Ossification of soft tissue in a sunburst pattern
what pharmacological agent increaes risk of avascular necrosis
Glucocorticoids
sunchondral radiolucent line of the femoral head
avascular necrosis
Bony eburnation, joint mice, bony outgrowths at the articular margins
Osteoarthritis
immune complex deposition, neutrophil accumulation in synovial fluid, pannus formation
Rheumatoid arthritis
Presence of endometrial glands outside of uterus
Endometriosis
Whorled smooth muscle bundles with intervening connective tissue on biopsy
Leiomyoma
DNA fragments of 180bp on gel electrophoresis
DNA laddering due to apoptosis (cleaves DNA at iinker regions)
Physostigmine
Cholinesterase inhibitor “Phyxes” atropine overdose
Atropine
muscarinic antagonist. Increases AcH. Pupil dilation, decreased secretions, decreased gut motility
Pralidoxime
Reactivates cholinesterase (antidote for organophosphate poisoning)
Pyridostimine
anti-cholinesterase (increases AcH) in myastenia gravis (gets rid of MG)
not seeing clearing, asking for water due to extreme thirst
Hot as a hare, dry as a bone, red as beet, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter. Anti-cholinergic syndrome
fever, dry skin, flushing, mydriasis, cycloplegia, AMS
Anticholinergic syndrome
Drugs associated with anticholinergic syndrome
antihistamine (diphenhydramine), chlorpromazine, olanzapine, amitryline, desipramine
CNS depression, seizures, pinpoint pupils
Heroin OD
CNS stimulation, mydriasis
Cocaine OD
two or more genetically different cell lines within the body
Mosaicism
genetic mutation is identified in offspring but NOT parents
Germline mosaicism
Pleiotropy
impact of a single gene on multiple phenotypes

t(12;21)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
t(14;18)
Follicular lymphoma (malignant cells with notches or clefts) BCl-2
which adhesion molecules bind intermediate filaments to form adherens junction and desmosomes
Cadherins
easy flushing, persistent erythema, telangiectasia and sensitivity to sunlight
Rosacea
Blue vioet dermal plaque that starts on feet and spreads proximally
Kaposi Sarcoma
blunt trauma to lateral knee
Common peroneal injury
vessel at risk for injury in a knee dislocation
Popliteal artery
Fever, uterine tenderness, foul smelling discharge, leukocytosis following delivery
Bacteroides (endometritis)
Sublimation
Converting unacceptable feelings or drives into more acceptable ones
Displacement
Shifting feelings or conflicts associated with one situation to another
Acting out
Expressing unconcious wishes or impulses through actions (temper tantrums)
Projection
individual attributes own unacceptable thoughts and feelings to another
Facilitation
encouraging the patient to talk more about his or her experience “tell me how”
Sildenafil
PDE5 inhibitor that promotes erection by relaxing venous sinus smooth muscle in the corpora cavernosa
atherosclerosis of bilateral intracranial portions of ICA can cause what visual changes
Binasal hemianopsia ( b/l pressure on optichiasm)
Flashblacks, hypervigilance following a life treatening event LESS than 4 weeks
Acute Stress disorder
2 or more of (delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech/behavior, negative sxs) at least 1 month but less than 6
Schizophreniform
pervasive pattern of behavior including odd believes, telepathy, superstition, bizarre fantasy
Schizotypal ( no hallucination)
no desire for close relationships with family, friends
