Q

classic presentation of legionella infection leading to legionnaire’s disease

A

ver high fever in a smoker accompanied by
diarrhea
confusion
cough that may initially be only slightly productive

HYPONATREMIA

TX; fluoroquin or macrolide

25
what is the major function of the paraventricular nuclei in the hypothalamus
``` secretion of: ADH CRH Oxytocin TRH ```
26
what is the job of the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus
ADH and oxytocin secretion
27
what does the arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus do
secretion of dopamine (inhibits prolactin) GHRH Gn-RH
28
what is a uterine leiomyoma (fibroid)
monoclonal tumor (each one is derived from a distinct progenitor cell) can be located on serial surface of uterus (subserosal), within the uterine wall (intramural) and below the endometrium (submucosal) irregular UTERINE ENLARGEMENT from fibroids can put pressure on adjacent organs causing BULT-RELATED SYMPTOMS POSTERIOR FIBROIDS- constipation that can be relieved by "splinting" to defecate- manual deflection of the obstruction
29
what are pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
pelvic pressure- "feeling a bulge or that something is falling out of the vagina"
30
posterior vaginal wall prolapse (rectocele) can cause
constipation splinting- manual deflection of the obstruction- is common no uterine enlargement women at low risk are: premenopausal, non obese, nulliparous
31
what is the course of the pudendal nerve
passes b/w the PIRIFORMIS and COCCYGEUS muscles as it exits the pelvis through the GREATER SCIATIC foramen reenters the pelvis near the ISCHIAL SPINE through the LESSER SCIATIC foramen prior to dividing into its terminal branches
32
what is seen in cauda equina syndrome
neurosurgical emergency resulting from compression of spinal cord nerve roots below the conus medullaris severe bilateral radicular pain, saddle anesthesia, and hyporeflexia bowel and bladder incontinence are late manifestations
33
what and when would one get an epidural hematoma after a epidural anesthesia
presents within 5 hours to days following procedure | sudden onset of back pain or radicular pain with progression to complete or partial paralysis of the lower extremities
34
what is lumbosacral plexopathy
occurs during fetal descent as a result of direct compression of the lumbosacral trunk foot drop and numbness of the lateral aspect of the leg and the dorms of the food typically transient (most resolve w/in a year)
35
what oral diabetic medication can cause can cause HYPOGLYCEMIA
SULFONYLUREAS (increase insulin secretion by beta-islet cells independent of glucose concentration) HIGH incidence with GLYBURIDE and GLIMEPIRIDE (long-acting) ask increases with exercise, missed meals, chronic malnourishment, or organ dysfunction, or after hospital admission\ LOW incidence with GLIPIZIDE (short acting)
36
how does acarbose work
alpha-glucosidase inhibitor | decreases intestinal glucose absorption and blunts the postprandial rise in serum glucose
37
what is sitagliptin
dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor decreases glucose utilization by peripheral cells and increases beta cell insulin release glucose-dependent effect
38
``` headaches (retroorbital) w/ photophobia pneumonia fever (more than 10 days) fatigue myalgia ``` da fuq is it??
Q FEVER Coxiella burnetti also see THROMBOCYTOPENIA and increased liver enzymes chronic is fatal and presents as infectious endocarditis in people with valvular disease
39
progressively weakening diaphragmatic contractions during maximal voluntary ventilation with intact phrenic nerve stimulation indicate...
neuromuscular junction pathology (myasthenia gravis) | and/or abnormally rapid diaphragmatic muscle fatigue (restrictive lung or chest wall disease)
40
what is Ondine's curse
impatient of the respiratory control centers in the brainstem can result in decreased frequency and.or amplitude of involuntary respirations voluntary breathing would be unaffected
41
what is the most common cause of alarming bloody or serosanguineous (blood-tinged) nipple discharge
INTRADUCTAL PAPILLOMA no associated breast mass or skin changes proliferation of papillary cells in a duct or cyst wall with a fibrovascualr core and may contain foci of atypia or ductal carcinoma in situ bloody discharge results from twisting of the vascular stalk of the papilloma in the duct
42
what is the most common defect in beta oxidation of fatty acids (in mitochondria)
acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency HYPOKETOTIC HYPOGLYCEMIA after a period of fasting Tx: avoid prolonged fasting as well as promptly supplying glucose during periods of illness carnitine (transports fatty acids into mitochondria) deficiency is very similar
43
more than half of patients with a subarachnoid hemorrhage develop what
secondary arterial VASOSPASM presents with new-onset neurological deficit or confusion 4-12 days after initial insult impaired brain auto regulation color doppler needed to see it
44
diagnosis of primary anxiety disorders requires ruling out what
substance induced etiologies medical-induced etiologies: symptoms are the physiological consequences of an underlying medical condition (i.e. hyperthyroidism) new onset with no prior psychiatric history and prominent findings on physical exam
45
what conditions can cause medical-induced anxiety
``` hypoglycemia hyperthyroidism pheochromocytoma hypercortisolism cardiac arrhythmias ```
46
increase in estrogen activity (pregnancy, oral contraceptive, postmenopausal HRT) does what to thyroid hormone levels
↑ TBG levels in pts with normal hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis, a transient ↑ in TSH will lead to ↑ THYROID HORMONE PRODUCTION to saturate the increased TBG and RESTORATION OF HOMEOSTASIS levels of free thyroid hormone stays normal but total is ↑ b/c more is bound
47
the supraspinatus tendon is prone to impingement where during abduction
b/w humoral head and acromion
48
extension of the humerus is done by what muscles
latissimus dorsi posterior deltoid heres major
49
adduction of the humerus is done by what msucles
``` latissimus dorsi pectorals major coaracobrachialis subscapularis teres major and minor ```
50
flexion of the humerus at the shoulder is done by what muscles
pectorals major coracobrachialis biceps brachii anterior deltoid
51
what rotator cuff muscle internal rotates the humerus
subscapularis
52
what happens to radial traction in emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis
emphysema: ↓ | pulmonary fibrosis: ↑
53
increase in chest wall recoil does what to the expiratory flow rates
decreases expiratory flow rates- respiratory muscles have to work harder during expiration to oppose the increased outward force
54
what effect does increased thickness of the wall have on expiratory flow rates
decreases expiratory flow rates b/c the radius of conducting airways is smaller
55
levels of what immunoglobulin is different in patients treated with the two different polio vaccines
duodenal luminal IgA serum IgA is the same with both vaccines
56
what part of the spinal cord is destroyed in syringomyelia
central portion (a cyst there) bilateral loss of pain an temp (lateral spinothalamics) maybe flaccid paralysis and atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of hand (anterior horn)
57
epithelial ovarian cancer is strongly associated with increased levels of what
CANCER ANTIGEN 125 (CA-125)
58
what is gamma hemolytic and PYR positive
Enterococci also grow in bile and on 6.5 NaCl negative urinalysis for nitrites (unable to convert nitrates to nitrites)
