Q

course of ansa cervicalis

A

It courses deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and loops around the internal jugular vein. Branches from the ansa cervicalis innervate the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and omohyoid muscles.

Q

which factor mimics factor 8

A

Emicizumab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, mimics the normal physiologic function of factor VIII and can be used to prevent or treat bleeding in patients who have factor VIII inhibitors. This antibody has 2 binding sites; one site binds to factor IXa and the other binds to factor X, which brings them into close proximity and allows factor IXa to cleave factor X into its active form (Xa).

Q

why pericardial effusionc asues decrease v clear lung firleds

A

Clear lung fields are typically seen because the increase in pericardial pressure (due to pericardial fluid accumulation) affects the lower pressure, right-sided heart chambers more than the left-sided heart chambers. When right-sided obstruction to blood flow is greater than left-sided obstruction, pulmonary edema is unlikely to develop.

Q

what happens to circulation on elevated body temp

30
how is ubq proteasome pathway involved in virus
The ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP) is essential to this process because of its role in breaking down native and foreign intracellular proteins. Ubiquitin ligase initiates the UPP by recognizing specific protein substrates and catalyzing the attachment of ubiquitin. The proteins tagged with ubiquitin are then broken down by a proteasome to peptide fragments which can be recycled into amino acids. The peptide fragments produced during this process can also be coupled to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum and then presented on the cell surface.

62
esonophilic dermal deposits is what
Cutaneous amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of insoluble fibers derived from precursor proteins (eg, immunoglobulin light chains) into the superficial dermis. It can have a varied gross appearance (eg, macular, nodular, lichenous) but would be characterized histologically by homogenous, eosinophilic dermal deposits.
63
why are neutrophils essential for iwound healing, what happens in excessive of neutrophils
Neutrophils are essential to the normal inflammatory response in wound healing; they prevent infection and release cytokines and growth factors that allow wound healing to progress. However, protracted inflammation and excessive release of reactive oxygen species by neutrophils in a wound can cause tissue damage that delays wound healing, resulting in a chronic, nonhealing wound.

65
why do we have continous murmur at the back in coarctation of aorta

different colour variations of melanoma signify what
Red areas are due to vessel ectasia (dilation) and local inflammation Brown or black, flared areas along the border are due to advancing, neoplastic melanocytes (Choice C). White and gray areas appear when cytotoxic T lymphocytes recognize tumor antigens (eg, melan-A) and induce apoptosis, leading to malignant melanocyte regression
70
where do lymphangiomas occur
Lymphangiomas tend to occur subepidermally, in the head, neck, and axilla. They consist of networks of endothelium-lined lymph spaces. Because they do not contain pigmented cells or red blood cells, lymphangiomas would be unlikely to have a bluish appearance.

75
pahthophys of eczeatous dermatitis
Acute eczematous dermatitis is characterized histologically by spongiosis, an accumulation of edema fluid in the intercellular spaces of the epidermis. The intercellular bridges become more distinctive in an edematous background, and the epidermis is often described as "spongy." Eventually, the edema can become so marked as to form intraepidermal vesicles. A perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and eosinophils may also be seen; this may involve only the superficial dermis (if due to exposure to a surface antigen) or extend to include the deeper vessels (if due to a systemic antigen exposure [eg, drugs]).

lichen planus
78
antibiotics have two methods of action
concentration dependant and time dependant
79
conc dependat ab killin=
Concentration-dependent killing: Antibiotics with this pattern of activity (eg, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones) have a persistent, suppressive effect on bacterial growth following a limited exposure, resulting in increased killing ability when drug levels at the site of infection are maximized. The higher the peak drug level compared to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), the greater the antimicrobial activity. As such, higher-dose, extended-interval (ie, once-daily) regimens are frequently used to optimize bacterial killing.
80
time dependant killing
Time-dependent killing: Antibiotics with this activity pattern (eg, beta-lactams [penicillins, cephalosporins], clindamycin) have minimal persistent effects and are dependent on long exposure durations for their antimicrobial activity. They are more effective when serum concentrations exceed the MIC for a prolonged period. Therefore, more frequent, multiple-daily dosing regimens are used to maintain plasma concentrations greater than the MIC for as long as possible.

146
which viral proteins are glycosylated of hiv
The only glycosylated HIV polyprotein is gp160, the product of the env gene. gp160 is extensively glycosylated in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. It is then cleaved into the envelope proteins gp120, which mediates viral attachment, and gp41, which mediates viral fusion with the host cell. Glycosylation of these proteins is crucial for: Immune evasion – Glycosylation acts as a shield for the conserved regions of these surface proteins, masking them from immune recognition. Host cell binding Proper protein folding
147
contact dermatitis pathophys
In the sensitization phase, cutaneous Langerhans cells take up haptens (ie, allergens) and present them to naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the regional lymph nodes, resulting in clonal expansion of hapten-sensitive T cells. This phase takes 10-14 days and does not result in cutaneous lesions. On reexposure to the hapten, cutaneous antigen-presenting cells present the hapten to sensitized T cells recruited to the skin. When activated, these T cells mediate tissue damage that manifests as pruritic erythema, vesicles, and/or bullae. This elicitation phase occurs 2-3 days following reexposure to the hapten

what causes granulomatous kaeratouveitis
Herpes zoster reactivation can cause granulomatous keratouveitis (ie, anterior chamber inflammation). However, herpes zoster typically reactivates in a single ganglion, leading to unilateral symptoms.

how can Hemoraghic telengectasia induce pulmonay hypertension
HHT can induce pulmonary hypertension (progressive dyspnea, loud P2 [pulmonic component of S2]) in some patients. This is usually due to extensive systemic AVMs (eg, hepatic) provoking chronic, high-output heart failure (widened pulse pressure, tachycardia) that elevates mean pulmonary arterial pressure.
