Uworld journal part 2 Flashcards
how does diptheria get its toxin
phage conversion
most AB toxins are aquired this way
amphotericin B toxicity
Severs hypokalemia and hypomagnezemia can result due to severe renal damage
moniter serum K+ and Mg2+
used after an infection for mucormicosis
PPAR Gamma
intracellular nuclear receptor that TZDs agonize the most important target is adiponectin
C. Teteni toxin directly effects the release of what neuro transmitter
GABA or glycine
NOT Ach thats botchulism
progressive spastic paresis and choreoathoid movements
lab: high arginine levels
Arginase deficency
makes urea and ornithine from arginine
low protein diet that is devoid of arginine
can look like cerebral palsy
part of long bone that osteomylites effects
the metaphasis because of the slow flowing sinusoidal vasculature
manifestation of parvo virus in adults
acute arthropathy that resolves on its own
what is close to the inferior thyroid artery
the recurrent laryengial nerve
derivitive for the R cardinal vein
SVC
sandwhiched between the acending aorta and R pulmonary artery
what is formed when a patient gets the diptheria vacciene
IgG circulating antibodys
protects people from when the toxin is released into their body
artery most likely to be affected by a midshaft humerous fracture
deep brachial artery
what does cortisol act on to induce the production of epinephrine from NE
phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT)
what do people with homocystineurea need to be supplemented with
vitamin B6
because they have a deficency in cystethione beta-synthase
present with marfanoid habitis, clotting issues, and mental retardation
myoclonic seziures
no loss of consiousness, Brief jerking movments
treat with valproid acid
what pharmacotherapy for PTSD
SSRI or another anti depressant
what will you find with autonaumic neuropathy resulting in urinary incontanance
increase post void residual volume
this is also called overflow incontance
phenoxybenzamine
alpha 1 antagonist
used to pretreat before removal of a pheochromocytoma
how does HBV cause cancer
integration of viral DNA into the host genome
side effect of mannatol and other osmotic diuretics
flash pulmonary edema
thickened renal arterials that stain pink with hematoxylin eosin
think non-malignany hypertension or diabetes mettitus
what is a plausable way to decrease the ereythrocyte precurser apoptosis seen with folate deficency
supplement with thymidine (neucleiec acid) so that there would be some dTMP
aromatase deficency
results in maternal virulization during pregnancy and ambiguus genitalia for the XX neonate
the neonate will have an increased androgen level
proof reading
3’==> 5’
fidaxomicin
macrocyclic antibiotic (related to macrolides)
use for recurrent c-diff infections
