UWorld Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Baby w/ poorly developed lumbar and sacrum. Due to?
Caudal regression syndrome - agenesis of sacrum/sometimes lumbar sine - resultant flaccid paralysis of legs, dorsiflexed contractures of feet, urinary incontenence. Can range from isolated anal atresia to sirenomelia. Frequently related to POORY CONTROLLED MATERNAL DIABETES. More commonly -transposition of the greate vessels.
Vit A overdose in mom cuases -> baby
Craniofacial abnormalitiesPosterior fossa CNS defectsAuditor defectsAbnormalities of Great Vessels.Defects ismilar to DiGeorge.
Osteoblasts trapped in bony matrix are called…How are these cells attached to each other?
Osteoblasts -> Osteocytes.Attached via gap junction All connected this way in order to exchange nutrients and waste products w osteocyte in neighboring lamellae - also can sense mechanical stress and send signals to module the activity of surace osteoblasts - regulate body remodeling.
Disproportionately short arms and legs - what is this? What is the defect? Is there inheritance?
Achondroplasia.Constitutively activating fibroblast growth factor recpetor 3 - which since always on is inhibitory. AD if inheirted.Majority of cases are sporadic utation though.Must be heterozygous, as homozygous achondroplasia -> death before/right after birthFully penetrant gnetic disorder.
Depression require what for diagnosis? What if its subacute?
MDD requires 5 or more out of 9 signs (SIGECAPS + Depressed mood) for at least 2 weeks. If less than this, and for 2 YEARS, then Dysthymic disorder(at least 2 of the following)Poor appetite or overeatingInsomnia, hypersomniaLow wnergy/fatigueLow self-esteemPoor conscentrating/difficlty making decisionsFeelins of hopelessness

Pulmonary anthraxAlso can see chest pain and hemoptysis
Major hip flexors?What assists in lateral flexion of the vertebral column?What does the obturator externus do?
Iliacus and psoasDefect can be seen w/ psoas abscess - fever, back/flank pain, inguinal mass, difficulty walking.Pain Exacerbated when psoas stretched (such as extension of the hip). Lateral flexion - quadratus lumborumObturator externus externally rotates the thigh (runs from obturator frramen of pelvis to trochanteric fossa of femur)
Mutation in Marfans? Ehlers Danlos?
Marfans - fibrillin/elastin (fibrillin is major component of microfibrils that form a sheath around elastin fibers) . FIbrillin common in lens, periosteum, aortic mediaEhlers Danlos - collagen (T3 - vasclar, T4 - classic stretchy skin
Best treatment for long term management of gout?Acute gout? What are special considerations?
Long Term - Gout - xanthine oxidase inhibitorsNSAIDS used for acute gout - be warry of chronic in elerdly due to GI bleeding, renal failure, Uricosuric drugs - avoid in pt w/ POOR RENAL FUNCTION - should be avoided to prevent uric acid neprholithiasis in pt who excrete LARGE amounts. Or who have impaired kidney function
Describe collagen formation.
- Hydroxylation of proline and lysine (Vit C dependent) on pro-a-chain2. Glycosylation o lysine residues on pro-a-chain. Prolyl hydorxylase, lysyl hydroxylase (vit C - within RER)3. Pro-a-chain assembly (INTRACELLULARL) into PROCALLAGEN TRIPLE HELIX.4. Procollagen is excreted.5. Extracellular Terminal propeptide (DISULFIDE BOND RICH) are cleaved by N and C PROCOLLAGEN PEPTIDASES.6. Collagen covalently cross linked by lysyl oxidase.
Hematogenous osteomyelitis - who does it usu affect? Where does it affect? WHy?
Usu young children. Esp boys.Usu affects METAPHYSISI of long bones - due to slow flowing vasculature that is conducive to microbial passage. Adults less likely to devo hematogenous osteomyelitis in long bones due to epiphysial closure.
Negative birefringent cryastals?Positive birefringent crystals?PT treated for negative birefrignent develos nausea vominting diarrhea - what was he given? Mech?
Negative - Gout (Monosodium urate)Positive - calcium pyrophyosphate crystals. Given colchicine - microtubule formation blocker. Impaired leukocyte chemotaxis and degranulation. Reduces inflam of gout. DIARRHEA IS VERY COMMON due to GI mucosa damage.
How to describe histo of:Rickets/OsteomalaciaOsteoporosisOsteopetrosis Hyperparathyroidism,Pagets
Osteomalacia - osteoid matrix accumulation aroudn trabeculaeOsteoporosis - trabecular thinning w/ few inreconnectionsOsteopetrosis - persistence of primary unmineralized spongiosa in medullary cannals. Thick dense bones. Hyperparthyroidism - periosteal resorption w/ cystic degeneration (osteitis fibrosa cystia)Pagets - Lamellera bone remambling a MOSAIC (of woven and lamellar bone) Haphazardous collagen laying down.

SERM - selective estrogen receptor modulator.Name oneName what it INC estrogen activity in and DEc estrogen acitivity in
SERM - RaloxifeneEstrogen agonists in bone, cardiovascular, and blood/lipoproteinsDEC activity in breast and uterusAlendronate is a bisphosphonate analogue - dues NOT protect agaisnt CA.
What is Finasteride and its mech
Inhibitor of 5a reductase - prevents conversion of T to DHT. (antiandrogen)
Osteoclasts differentiate from what? What are 2 important factors for osteoclast differentiation? What produces these 2 factors?
Monocytes/macrophage lineage.2 factors are macrophage colony stim factor (M-CSF) - and RANKLBOTH OF TEHSE ARE PRODUCED BY OSTEOBLASTS.

Differnetiate PMR, Fibromyalgia, Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis
PMR, Fibromyalgia is pain without muscular weaknessPolymyositis and Dermtomyositis have muscle weakness. These 2 also have CD8, and CD4 response, respectively.
Most common cause of ostemyeltiits in a young kid?What are common findings?
Staph A - hematogenous seeding during episode of bacteremia Often see bone necrosis, periosteal disruption, swelling of surrounding soft tissue.
Absence of T tubule in some sarcolemma of muscles would lead to?
Uncordinated contractions.
Body distribution wise, where do you see t1 and wher do you see type 2?
Type 1 - slow - seen in postural musclesType 2 - seen in lats, pecs, biceps, deltoids, etc
Treatment for sporothrix schenckii?
Itraconazole, Potassium Iodide
Serum sicknes presntationHisto of vessels?Plasma content changes?
Fever, urticaria, arthrlagias, glomeruloneprhtiis, LNA activates complement -> low serum C3 levels. And thus may see vessel fibrinoid necrosis + N! infiltration into walls Can be triggered by sulfonamides, allopurinal, penicillins, fungal drugs, procainimide, quinidine, ibuprofen, rituximab - list goes on.
Gingival bleeding, echymoses, in person with tea and cracker diet? What other findings?3 Common populations to see this in?
Scurvy - common in alcoholics, poor, elderly.Also see periforllicular hemorrhages and coiled (corkscrew hairs)
Where does prolyl hydroxtlase and lysyl hydroxylase occur?
Both occur in the RER. Tricle helix made intracellualrly. Once procollagen (lots of disulfide bonds) is made, extracellular snipping of the ends (procollagen peptidase) - These colalgen fibrisl are then crosslinked by extracellular LYSYL OXIDASE)

SMOKINGALCOHOL USE. MenopauseCorticosteroid therapyPhysical inactivityWHITE (Blacks have LOWER RATES)Low body weight
Which pouch is the thymus derived from? What else is derived from tehre?Where is the thyroid derived from?
Thmuys and inferior parathyroid are both from 3rd pouch. (CN 9 - glossopharyngeal) Interestingly, superior parathyroid are from 4th pouch. Palatine tonsisl from 2nd pouch. Floor of foregut. Thyroid diverticulum migrates down the neck but remains attached to the floor of the mouth by the thyroglossal duct.
Before tx w/ Etanercept, Infliximab, adalimumab - must first?!
Screen for latent TB - PPD test.
What are associated concerns w/ ankylosing sponylitis specifically (dont give me the PAIR)
Enthesopathies - finalm at site of tendon insertiosn - involve costovertebral/costosternal junctions - limit chest movmenets - resutl in hypoventilation - be sure to monitor chest expansion.Cardiac - ascending aortitis - dilatation of aortic ring and aortic insufficiency.Eeye - anterior uveitis in 20-30$ of pt. blurred vision.
What is a secondary effect of Ca being rleased form the SR during muscle contraction
Primary - troponin C binding and shiftin gof tropomyosinSecondary - INC activity of phosphorylase kinase - which allows for faster glycogen pbreakdown. Initial glycogen -> glyocgen phosphorylase -> Phosphorylase Kinase. Phosphorylase Kinase is responsible for phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase.
