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
