Vol. V - MSK, Rheum, Derm Flashcards
Trapezius is innervated by
accessory nerve
Cell mediating dermatomyositis
CD4 T cells –> perimysial inflammation
Tibial nerve roots
L4-S3
Most common causes of septic arthritis
S.aureus, Strep, N. gonorrheae
location of osteosarcoma
metaphysis of long bones
femoral nerve roots
L2-L4
Obdurator nerve innervates
sensory - medial thigh
motor - adductors, obdurator, pectineus
iliohypogastric nerve innervates
sensory - suprapubic region
motor - transversus abdominus and internal oblique
axillary nerve roots
C5-C6
Acetaminophen mechanism
reversible inhibits COX, mostly in CNS (not anti inflammatory)
Abnormal labs in osteomalacia/rickets
decreased Ca, decreased PO4, increased ALP, increased PTH, vitamin D deficient
Abnormal labs in osteitis fibrosa cystica (secondary hyper pth)
decreased Ca, increased PO4, increased ALP, increased PTH
IT band syndrome
Overuse injury of lateral knee (e.g. in runners). Pain is 2/2 friction of the IT band on the lateral femoral epicondyle.
serratus anterior is innervated by
long thoracic nerve
Common (fibular) peroneal nerve roots
L4-S2
genitofemoral nerve innervates
sensory - scrotum/labia and medial thigh
motor - cremaster
RA involves
PIP, MCP, wrist
Zileuton blocks
5-Lipoxygenase (no Leukotrienes)
Type I muscle fiber properties
Slow, Red, uses Ox Phos, associated with endurance training
Peroneal/fibular nerve injury
foot drop
Abnormal labs in osteitis fibrosa cystica (primary hyper pth)
increased Ca, decreased PO4, increased ALP, increased PTH
contents of carpal tunnel
FDS tendons, FDP tendons, FPL tendon, median nerve
Limb compartment syndrome
increased pressure within fascial compartment of a limb –> venous outflow obstruction and arterial collapse –> anoxia and necrosis.
lunate dislocation can cause
median nerve impingement –> carpal tunnel
Osteoarthritis presentation
improves with rest, asymmetric involvement, bowlegged
Leflunomide mechanism
Reversibly inhibits dihydroorate dehydrogenase –> blocks pyrimidine synthesis –> suppreses T cell proliferation
Median nerve roots
C5-T1
Prevention of pseudogout
colchicine
Guyon canal syndrome is caused by
compression of the ulnar nerve at the risk (e.g. cyclists)
hip abductors
gluteus medius, gluteus minimus
Sciatic nerve roots
L4-S3
tumor associated with vinyl chloride and arsenic
hepatic angiosarcoma
Effect of PGF2alpha
increased uterine tone
Effect of PGE1
decreased vascular tone
Treatment for Paget’s disease of the bone (aka Osteitis Deformans)
bisphosphonates
Superior gluteal nerve roots
L4-S1
Abnormal labs in Paget disease
increased ALP
RA presentation
morning stiffness lasting > 1 hr, improves with use, symmetric involvement, systemic manifestations
synthetic PGE2
Dinoprostone
internal rotation of the hip
gluteus medius, gluteus minumus, tensor fascia lata
NSAID mechanism
reversible COX inhibition blocking prostaglandins
Treatment for Raynaud’s
Ca channel blockers
tibial nerve injury presentation
can’t stand on tiptoes (inversion and plantarflexion is lost)
Treatment for myasthenia gravis
AChE Inhibitor (pyridostigmine)
