Week 2 Flashcards
What are the pharmakinetics of aspirin?
- pKa of 3.5
- low pH favors absorption rapidly in the stomach
- unmetabolized salicylates are excreted by kidney
- under low to moderate [aspirin] it is 1st order kinetics but if its high then its zero order kinetics
When does fibrosis occur?
- usually forms because of chronic inflammation
What are the basic steps of scar formation
- tisue injury
- inflammation
- formation of granulation tissue
- angiogenesis with VEGF
- scar formation
What is the innervation of the pectoralis minor?
- Medial Pectoral Nerve
What is hyperplasia?
- increased number of cells from persistent stress/stimulus
What is the function of COX-2 and what is it associated with?
- makes prostaglandins from arachiodonic acid
- response is inducible, inflammatory response
- associated with
- inflammation
- Pain
- fever
What are the four types of adhesion molecules?
- Selectins
- Vascular addressins
- Intregrins
- Immuoglobulin superfamily
What are the clinical symptoms of infammation?
- Redness - vasodilation
- Heat - vasodilation
- Pain - hyperalgesia, sensitization of nociceptors
- Swelling - increased vascular permeability
- Loss of function
arthritic disroders have the same symptoms but as have subsequent tissue damage. Cant usually cure but manage the symptoms
What are the arachidonic acid metabolites?
phospholipids > (phospholipase A2) > Arachidonic Acids
- LOX will produce leukotrienes that will cause phagocyte mobilization and changes in vascular permeability > inflammation
- COX will produce prostaglandins > inflmmation
What are the treatment issues of the acute stage?
- symptoms often resolve on their own
- psychotherpay for depression, anxiety, anger, grief, pain
- pharmacotherpay for sleep, depression, anxiety, pain
- social support is important
- premorbid physchopathology should be treated
How are cell and tissue injuries recognized by the body?
- Damaged tissues express Damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)
- Leukocytes have DAMP receptors
- binding initiates intracellular signaling pathway active > mediator production > inflammation
Use of oxicams?
- inhibit COX-1 and COX-2
- used for long term treatment of RA or osteoarthritis
- long half life
- bleeding and ulceration
What is first intention wound healing?
- surgically bringing the two skin edges together to allow the wound to heal more uniformly
- more of a comestic fix
What is the function of COX-1 and what is it associated with?
- Produces prostaglandins from phospholipids
- constitutive, physiological regulation
- Associated wth
- platelet function
- GI mucosal integrity
- Renal function
What are the borders of the axilla?
Located below the should joint
- pectoralis major anteriorly
- latissimus doris posteriorly
- serratus anterior medially
- humerus laterally
What is a keloid?
- hypertrophy of collagen cells
- looks like a large growing mass
What are the movements of the levator scpaulae?
- elevates and medially rotates scapula
- pulls glenoid cavity inferiorly
What is the blood and nerve supply of supra and infraspinatus?
- suprascapular nerve and artery
What is the blood and nerve supply of subscapularis muscle?
- upper and lower subscapulars and circumflex scapular artery
What is the blood and nerve supply of teres minor?
- axillary nerve
- posterior humeral circumflex artery
What is lipid peroxidation?
- oxidative degradation of lipids
- oxygen molecules steal the electrons in the plasma membrane that results in cell damage
Naproxen (Aleve)
- commonly used for reduction of
- pain
- fever
- inflammation (osteoarthritis, gout, RA, kidney stones, tendinitis, bursitis)
- stiffness
- may have antiviral activity against the flu
What is the innervation of the serratus anterior?
- long thoracic nerve
serratus anterior keeps the medial border of the scapula tight against the ribs, if there is damage to the long thoracic, you get winging of the scapula
What are the 3 posterior forearm musles to the thumb?
- Abductor pollicis longus
- extensor pollicis brevis
- extensor pollicis longus
What are the cardinal signs of inflammation?
- Rubor – redness
- Tumor – swelling
- Calor – heat
- Dolor – pain
- Function laesa – loss of function
What is the segmental innervation of the Shoulder? Elbow? Wrist?
- Shoulder C5,6
- Elbow C6,7
- Wrist C7,8
What are the movements of the rhomboids?
- elevates scapula
- adducts scapula
- medially rotates scapula
Disease Modifying Antiarthritic Drugs (DMARDs)
- Azathioprine - purine synthesis inhibitor
- Ciclosproin - calcineurin inhibitor
- Methotrexate (MTX) - purine metabolism inhibitor
What are the actions of the pectoralis major at the glenohumeral (GH) joint?
- Flexion
- Adduction
- Medial rotation
What movements occur at the sternoclavicular joint?
- vertical axis
- protraction/retraction
- AP axis
- elevation/depression
- Oblique axis
- medial/lateral rotation
- movement of the scapula up and down
What is purulent inflammation?
- Characterized by the production of pus, an exudate consisting of neutrophils, liquefied debris of nercrotic cells and edema fluid (abscesses)
What is the inflammation process?
- Microbes or necrotic tissue
- Stimuli recognized by sentinel cells
- produce mediators
- leukocytes and plasma proteins are recruited from circulation
- elminate microbes and dead tissue
- Remove tissue damage and repair
What is the innervation of the deltoid?
- Axillary nerve
What is salcicylism and what are the symptoms? How do you treat?
- overdose of aspirin
- adults
- tinnitus
- hearing loss
- vertigo
