Q

flu vaccine

A

includes antigens or virions to 3 or 4 a and b flue

wanes every year and strains change

inactivated about neutraling antibdoies.

inactivated does not invoke MHC1 response so no cellular immunity

Q

synthesis of elastin and what causes rubber like properties?

A

tropoelastin made inside and secreted.

microfibrils (fibrillin) acts as scaffold

next lysyl oxidase (requires copper) deaminated lysin residues which form desmosine crosslinks -> rubber like properties (stretching)

the high end diastolic pressure leads to -> transudation -> causes decreased compliance -> poor gas exchange and dyspnea

this is because transudate dilutes surfactant

51
Q

farmers lung etiology

A

actinomycetes in moldy hay or contaminated compost

52
Q

what is the etiology of symptoms from panic attack?

A

low co2 causing cerebral vasoconstriction

53
Q

obesity hypoventilation syndrome

A

described patient that was foggy all the time.

said o2 arterial was low and co2 was high.

etiology? chronic hypoventilation

said it was a mix of increased co2 from increased body mass and surface area, sleep disordered breathing, and reduced lung volumes are compliance.

later said increase pco2 while awake.

said improtant causes of hypoxemia with normal aa

54
Q

hypoventialsiton (normal aa gradient)

A

neuromuscule and obesity hypovenitlation

55
Q

right to left shunt wout have?

A

increased A a gradient

56
Q

copd hypoxia can lead to?

A

erythropoesis

57
Q

hirshsprung vs meconmium ileus (CF)

hirsh, meconium

downsyndrome, cystic fibrosis
rectosigmoid, ileum
normal meconium, inspitssated (dry)
squire positive, negative

58
Q

major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis

A

pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and cor pulmonale

59
Q

what do you see on biopsy in silicosis?

A

birefringent particles

60
Q

findings in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

A

persistent non productive cough and dyspnea

non productive cough

usualy interstital pneumonia

alveolar collapse leads to honeycombing cystic spaces lined by hyperplastic type 2 pneumocytes

most prominent in subpleural and paraseptal spaces

61
Q

four possible things asbestosis can cause

A

pleural plagues (most common)
asbestosis - progressive pulmonary fibrosis with asbestosis bodies
bronchogenic carcinoma - synergistic with smoking
malignant mesothelimoma

62
Q

squamous cell carcinoma most similar too

A

barret’s esophagus metaplasia -> dysplasia

not similar to CIN/cervical cancer

63
Q

what does centriacinar empyhsema involve?

A

the respiratory bronchioles (according to the image)

64
Q

fat embolism pathogenesis

A

triad of acute onset neurologic abnormalities, hypoxemia, patehcial rash

long bone fracture -> fat embolism to lung -> imapired gas exchange leads to hypoxemia -> from there to brain (agitation and confused) -> and also to the dermal capillaries which causes rupture and pethciae

also you can get platelet addhearence to the fat microgolbules and thrombocytopenia

65
Q

two causes or relative (vs) absolute polycythemia (erythrocytosis)

A

dehydration or excessive diuresis (example acute HF pt)

66
Q

risk factors of second hand smoke in kids

A
prematurity, low birthweight
sudden infant death syndrome
middle ear disease (otitis media)
asthma
repsiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
67
Q

abscesses of lung causes

A

orophyrangeal aspiration -> anaerobes with mixed aerobe component

complication of bacter pneumonia -> necrotizing pneumonias, staph, e coli, kelsiella, pseudomonas

sepiticemia or endo -> staphy and strep

68
Q

asthma pt with sputum that shows many granule containing cells and crystalloid masses

A

eosionophils with charcot leyden crystals (eosinophil membrane protein)

69
Q

lung processes with increased elastic resistance

A

acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary edema, pulmonary fibrosis

70
Q

how does sarcoidis present?

A

cough, dyspnea, chest pain accompanied by fatigue, fever, and weight loss.

in general for respiratory, late inspiratory crackles, dry cough, progressive exertional dyspnea

71
Q

complication of o2 in copd

A

carotid body response becomes blunted.

decrease respitaroty drive

normally in healthy driven by co2 not o2, but in copd o2 drive rr

72
Q

histology of mesthelioma

A

epithloid type cells with very long microvilli, desmosomes, tonofilaments.

73
Q

mesothelioma signs and symptoms

A

dyspnea and chest pain

74
Q

what can occur with a mediatinal mass?

A

SVC syndrome

said suprior sulcus could cause it, but would have other syptoms

75
Q

normal lung fucntion changes with aging

A

decrease chest wall compliance and increased lung comliance.

leads to decreased fvc ( i think just because rv rises), increased rv (due to increased lung compliance) and no change in tlc due to (counter balance from decreased chest wlal comliance)

think like obesity

76
Q

chronic lung transplant rejection

A

present with dyspnea and dry cough

total fibrotic obstruction in the terminal bronchioles

fev1 dropped, fev1/fvc dropped, fvc largely unchanged

77
Q

co2 problems in COPD after adminstration of o2

A

can get rise in co2 leading to confusion and depressed conciousness

three causes
1. increased o2 causes perfusin of previously vascontricted poorly ventilated areas -> increased perfusion -> increased dead space (v/q mismatch)

  1. increased o2 dereased hb’s affinity for co2
  2. decreased ventilation
78

chornic transplant rejection of lung occurs where?

A

small airways

80
Q
