Briefly describe the neurologic model of goal of Tx of somatic dysfunction
Influence viscero-somatic relationships
Briefly describe the goals of treatment of somatic dysfunction in the behavioral model
Relieve pain
Osteopathic treatment is not aimed at “turning the system up or down,” but:
But at removing the dysfunctions to allow the body to restore a more appropriate autonomic balance
T/F: You can only have too much parasympathetic overriding sympathetic drive and vice versa
False, can have too much Parasympathetic and Sympathetic drive in both systems at the same time
Related to the __________ model, what is sensitization
Somatic dysfunction increases the excitability the involved neurons, meaning less of an impulse is needed to cause the action of the nerve to happen
In simplest terms what is spinal facilitation
- Nerve is always firing even when body is at rest
- In this state there is less afferent stimulation needed to discharge impluses
Define: Somatosomatic reflex
Localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures

Describe the goal metabolic energetic model to treat somatic dysfunction
Decrease energy output or expenditure
- Enhance the self-regulatory and self-healing mechanisms to foster energy conservation and enhance function
What is the thoraco-abdominopelvic cylinder?

- Not a good index in mitral stenosis because of pressure changes upstream and decrease downstream
If preload is increased above physiologic limit, what happens
The stroke volume begins to increase
- As preload is increased, the CO is increased until ventricle is too stretched to perform optimal contraction
Frank-Starling Law of the heart compares:
- Compares the stroke volume to ventricular volume at the end of diastole
- Amount of stretch is equal to volume ejected from ventricles within physiologic limits
- Stroke volume and cardiac output correlate directly with end diastolic volume with correlates with venous return

Define the founder effect
The founder effect is a genetic phenomenon that occurs when a small group of individuals from a larger population establishes a new population, resulting in a loss of
genetic variation
What causes Fragile X syndrome?
It is caused by expansion of CGG repeats in the 5’-UTR of FMR-1 gene
- Triplet repeat expansion
What causes Angelman syndrome?
- Microdeletion in an autosome
- Around 70 to 75% of cases arise from maternal
deletion within chromosome 15q11-q13, containing the UBE3A gene
What does UBE3A codes for?
- UBE3A codes for ubiquitin and appears to be preferentially or exclusively expressed from the maternally
derived chromosome 15 in the brain
What type of inheritance is Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome?
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder
Describe in vivo gene therapy for Hemophelia B
- caused by factor IX deficiency
- Factor IX is produced in the liver. Liver-related diseases are amenable to in vivo gene therapy.
- Other organs that in vivo gene therapy may apply to include eye, brain, and skeletal muscle
What does alpha-L-iduronidase indicate?
Lysosomal storage disease
What therapy is used to treat lymphomas and leukemias?
T cells to generate CAR T-cell therapy
What treatment is used for SCID and lysosomal storage disease?
Hematopoietic stem cell
What type of cells do Mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into?
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and
adipocytes - It is unclear whether and how efficient MSCs can be used to differentiate into blood cells
What are side effects of axicabtagne?
What type of therapy is it and what does it treat?
- CAR T-cell therapy that is used to treat follicular lymphoma
- fever, low white blood cells, increase risk of recurrent infection), and low red blood cells (increase risk of anemia)
What does Dinucleotide instability refer to?
- Example of microsatellite instability
- Microsatellite DNA refers to a short segment of DNA, usually one to 6 base pairs in length that is repeated multiple times
Overactivation of ______________________ leads to von Hippel-Lindau disease
Overactivation of HIF (or defective VHL) leads to von Hippel-Lindau disease
Overactivation of ___________________ leads to melanomas.
CDK4 (or defective CDKN2A)
Defective ____ leads to Li-Fraumeni syndrome
P53
Defective ____ leads to VHL disease by what mechanism?
Defective VHL leads to increased HIF activity
- HIF Activity is synonymous with increased cancer to help survival and growth
Defective ____________________ leads to HNPCC
Defective MLH1 or MSH2 leads to HNPCC
What are the gatekeeper genes for G2 to M cell cycle transition?
MLH1
MSH2
List 4 ways to inactivate a tumor suppressor gene
1) genetic mutation (point mutation or deletion)
2) epigenetic (methylation)
3) environmental factors.
4.) Hypermethylation of a promoter region, enhancer region or coding region can contribute to silencing of a TSG.
____________ __________________ lead to familial adenomatous polyposis, a type of colon cancer
APC mutations
__________________ mutations lead to HNPCC (or Lynch syndrome)
MLH1
What is Pompe disease?
Glycogen storage disease
- Intracellular accumulation of glycogen
What is Lynch syndrome?
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer
- Associated with colon cancer, endometrial cancer, ovary, stomach, small intestine, hepatobillary tract, URI, brain and skin
What does loss of NF1 gene allow?
Allows for persistent activation of the Ras gene
Why does coronary ischemia cause increased end systolic volume?
The heart does not have enough blood flow to contract properly so not enough volume is being ejected
OPC: What is the sympathetic innervation of the heart?
T1-T5
OPC: What is the sympathetic innervation for the lungs?
T1-T6(7)
OPC: What is the sympathetic innervation for the lungs?
T1-T6(7)
OPC: what is the sympathetic innervation of the upper extremity?
T1-T6
OPC: what is the sympathetic innervation of the upper extremity?
T1-T6
OPC: What is the sympathetic innervation of the lower extremities?
T10-L2
What is cisterna chyli?
Lymphatic vessels that collect lymph from the abdomen, pelvis, and lower extremities located just below the diaphragm
