uWorld 48 Flashcards
high doses of folate can antagonize what drug
PENYTOIN- can precipitate seizures in a select group of patients
what are signs suggestive of self induced vomiting in bulimia
pharyngeal erythema, PAROTID ENLARGEMENT, hypokalemia, and hyperamylasemia, erosion of dental enamel
describe junctional, compound, and intradermal nevi
junctional: aggregates at dermoepidermal junction, FLAT, black- to brown pigmented macules with darker coloration in the CENTER than periphery, preserved skin markings
compound: aggregates extend INTO DERMIS, RASIED papule with UNIFORM brown pigment
intradermal: EPIDERMAL NESTS of nevus cells have been LOST, dermal cells lose TYROSINASE activity and produce little to no pigment, skin- to take-colored, dome-shaped, and sometimes pedunculated
what are fibrillary waves (f waves)
seen in some patients with atrial fibrillation
irregular, low-amplitude waves b/w the QRS completes that represent the chaotic atrial activation
what is “holiday heart syndrome”
A fib in people after extensive alcohol consumption
what is neuropeptide y
polypeptide neurotransmitter found in the central and autonomic nervous systems
though tot play a role in appetite and pain perception
NPY antagonists have been investigated as potential anti obesity drug
how do you visualize trichamoniasis
wet mount (saline microscopy)
daytime sleepiness and naps that are NON-RESTORATIVE are seen in what
OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA
what is obesity hypoventilation syndrome (PICKWICKIAN SYNDROME)
caused by restricted expansion of the chest wall due to severe obesity
leads to hypoventilation and chronically elevated PCO2 and decreased PO2
damage to the common peroneal (for drop and loss of sensation to dorsum of foot and lateral shin) happens where
FIBULAR NECK
what nerve gets injured from compression of the popliteal fossa
TIBIAL
- innervates skin of posterior calf and lateral foot
- tissues of knee joint
- muscles of plantar flexion and inversion (gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis posterior)
antibodies to alpha3-chain of collagen type IV are seen in what
GOOD PASTURE SYNDROME
what is the VALSALVA maneuver
increase VAGAL TONE and can be used to abolish paroxysmal supraventriucalr tachycardia
RECTUS ABDOMINIS is most important muscle in achieving the increased intraabdominal and intrathoracic pressure of the Valsalva maneuver
done by FORCIBLE EXHALING against CLOSED GLOTTIS
thin stratum granulosum and prominent parakeratotic status corneum with occasional foci of neutrophil accumulation
PSORIASIS
describe psoriasis
salmon-colored rounded plaques covered in loosely adherent, silvery scale
elbows, knees, gluteal cleft, lumbrosacral area, glans penis, and scalp
caused by CD4 cells activation CD8 cells in the epidermis after interacting with antigen presenting cells in the skin
-results in production of cytokines and keratinocyte growth factors
HYPERPARAKERATOSIS, ACANTHOSIS, ELONGATION of RETE ridges, mitotic activity above epidermal basal cell layer, reduced or absent stratum granulosum
AUSPITZ SIGN- bleeding when you scratch at the scaly surface
MUNRO MICROABSCESSES- neurophils mat form spongiotic clusters in the superficial dermis and the parakeratotic stratum corneum
