Q

function of leptin

A

leptin inhibits pulsatile gnrh release,could be associated with hypothalmic amenorrhea Leptin acts on the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to inhib production of NPY (↓ appetite) and stim production of α- MSH (↑ satiety). Muts in the leptin gene or receptor result in hyperphagia and profound obesit

Q

mechanism of cortisol

A

• Cortisol receptor (in cytoplasm) are bound to heat shock protein > cortisol binds to knocks off heat shock protein > receptor dimerization > homodimer translocated to nucleus > alter transcription alpha MSH of ACTH stimulates MSH receptors causing hyperpigmentation For example, cortisol increases vascular and bronchial smooth muscle reactivity to catecholamines and increases glucose release by the liver in response to glucagon.Glucocorticoid promote ulcer formation (especially in combination wth NSAIDs)

Q

why do we have abdominal pain in DKA

A

The state of ketoacidosis leads to irritation of the peritoneum. This can cause diffuse abdominal tenderness on palpation with guarding, possibly even to the extent that an acute abdominal pathology is suspected.

28
which fetal defortmities methimazole causes
as aplasia cutis congenita, choanal atresia, and omphaloce ## Footnote PTU should then be switched to methimazole in the second trimester for the rest of pregnancy to avoid the risk of PTU-induced hepatotoxicity.
29

30
what does hypocrtisolism cause,why we have glucose defiecny
it triggeres ADH release, decrease in synthesis of gluconeogenic enxymes

which GLUT transporter is bidirectional, compare different glut transporters int terms of affinity
Bidirectional transporter: allows hepatocytes to uptake glucose for glycolysis and release glucose during gluconeogenesis
32
placenta has which glut
1/3 ( low concentration needed to transport, glut 2 diffuses only at high concentration
33
hyponatremia in 1 vs 2 adrenal insufficiency
Hyponatremia from corticosteroid-related adrenal insufficiency is often not as pronounced as the hyponatremia seen in primary adrenal insufficiency. This is because aldosterone secretion from the zona glomerulosa remains intact.
34
which diabetic drug facilitates weight loss
liraglutide ( dpp4) - and metformin
35
ectopic parathyroid gland
The derivatives of the 3rd branchial pouch include the inferior parathyroid glands and the thymus. _The primordial inferior parathyroid glands are connected to the primordial thymus_. **Normally, the tissue connecting the thymus and inferior parathyroid glands degenerates by the time the inferior parathyroid glands reach the lower poles of the thyroid gland**. If this tissue does not degenerate, the inferior parathyroid glands descend along with the thymus, which continues to migrate into the superior mediastinum. Because of this relatively long course of descent, the location of the inferior parathyroid glands is more variable and can be found anywhere between the inferior poles of the thyroid lobes and the superior mediastinum. Therefore, the ectopic mediastinal parathyroid tissue seen on the Tc99m-sestamibi scan is most likely to be a derivative of the 3rd branchial pouch. Despite originating caudally in the 4th branchial pouch, the superior parathyroid glands attach themselves to the developing thyroid gland and come to rest on the posterior side of each superior pole of the thyroid lobes.

precocious puberty and accelrated growth
37
MCC of hyperthyroid after graves
toxic multinodular goiter
38
compliations of graves disease in neonates
but severe disease can result in tachycardia, diaphoresis, failure to thrive, hyperphagia, stridor (due to compressive goiter), and microcephaly (attributable to craniosynostosis).
39
what causes hthyroid atrophy
levothyroxine use
40
neonate hypothyroidism
Maternal thyroxine (T4) crosses the placenta and enters fetal circulation, ensuring adequate hormone levels for normal fetal brain development. This patient has thyroid aplasia and is, therefore, unable to synthesize thyroid hormone himself. He was supported perinatally by maternal T4, which has a half-life of 5–7 days.
41
how would the clinical features of a person be with obstructive sleep apnea
facial plethora redness and hypertension that is due to increased sympathetic actoivity due to hypoxia,Chronic hypoxia can also trigger a sympathetic response, which could explain this patient's hypertension.
42
wwhat causes destruction of colon in crohns
T cells also differentiate into TH1 cells, which activate cytoplasmic fibroblasts to release matrix proteases. This leads to the destruction of the intestinal architecture with villus atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, and the loss of the brush border.
43
where are dysplastic vessels in angiodysplasia located
The dysplastic vessels seen in angiodysplasia are typically located in the cecum and ascending colon (in \> 75%
44
what is associated with angiodysplasia
onditions associated with angiodysplasia include von Willebrand disease and end-stage renal disease.
45

which can also cause lower GI bleeding as a result of gastric acid induced ulceration of the ileal mucosa.
46
mcc of death in hemochromatosis,which joints affected
HCC,mcp
47
gilbert disease mutation associated with what gene
A mutation in the promoter sequence of the UGT1A1 gene causes decreased activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, which is the underlying pathomechanism of Gilbert syndrome.
48

gilbert, if hemolysis ldh elevathed hct lowe
49
what is pseudomembrane consist of
pseudomembranous plaques on the colonic mucosa due to necrosis of the colonic mucosa and exudation of fibrin
50
what disorder develops first cleft lip or palat e
Cleft lip is caused by failure of fusion of the maxillary prominence with the medial nasal prominence. Normally, children have two copies of GSTT1, a gene that is protective against the development of a cleft lip. However, embryos with only one copy of this gene (e.g., in some European and Asian ancestry) have a 20-fold increase in developing a cleft lip if exposed to cigarette smoke in utero.

Gain-of-function mutations in KRAS are also associated with lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.
57
2 mechanisms of ascites
Additionally, splanchnic vasodilation in patients with cirrhosis results in underfilling of the systemic arterial system, which activates the RAAS. Activation of RAAS leads to Na+ and water retention, which aggravates ascites and peripheral edema.
58
complication of liver biopsy

71
what is letrozole

72
depot progrestrone
Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), a progesterone contraceptive, inhibits pituitary secretion of gonadotropins (ie, FSH, LH) to prevent ovulation. The decrease in FSH causes increased hypothalamic GnRH secretion and suppressed ovarian estrogen production.

pelivic floor fucktion
pelvic muscle floor contract tos tabilise urethra against anterior vaginal wall.this contractiong decreases angle between bladder neck and urethra waht is vesicovaginal fistula abnormal connection between bladder and vagina occurs due to surgical or obstretric compliations
74
How do c1 inhibtors work
C1 inhibitors remove C1r/s from the Fc portion of immunoglobulin (classical pathway) and block the activation of C2/C4 by lectin pattern recognition receptors (lectin pathway). Therefore, C1 inhibitors prevent activation of the complement cascade and increase (not decrease) complement levels.
75
pathophys of irritant diapear rash
Irritant contact diaper dermatitis is predominantly caused by skin barrier breakdown from exposure to urine and stool trapped within the diaper. Patients with frequent stooling (eg, diarrhea) are at increased risk because urease produced by fecal bacteria causes an increase in local skin pH, which allows for activation of proteolytic enzymes that disrupt the stratum corneum. Areas of macerated skin are then prone to frictional damage from the diaper, which further exacerbates the rash.
