Week 4 UWORLD Qs Flashcards
Adenomyosis What is it Presentation Describe uterus on physical exam Histo
Ectopic endometrium in the myometrium
Heavy periods b/c increase endometrial surface
Dysmenorrhea (pain) b/c endometrial tissue growth in the confined myometrial space
Uniformly enlarged uterus
Require biopsy: normal endo tissue
What drugs do you use to help opthalmopathy in Graves
Glucocorticoids since the eye disease is driven by lymphocyte infiltration - Th1 cells stimulate the fibroblasts to make GAGs increasing volume of retro-orbital tissues
Myositis of extra-occular muscles
Makes sense since anti-T drugs don’t directly help this symptom
Which diabetes drugs do you need to check kidney vs liver fxn for
Liver fxn = giltazones (bind PPAR gamma, also weight gain, edema HF risks)
Kidney fxn = SGLT2 Is (prox tubule glucose reabsorption) = canagliflozin, dapagliflozin
Increase glucose out in urine
Other SE: UTI, hypotension (osmotic diuresis)
Name what each nerve innervates
- Pudendal S2-4
- Lateral femoral cutaneous L2-3
- Inf gluteal L5-S2
- Genitofemoral L1-L2
- Obturator L3-4
- Illiohypogastric T12-L1
- Sensory to perineum, motor to urethral + anal sphincters (one you nerve block to suture perineal lacerations during childbirth, runs under sacrospinal ligament)
If you go too medial to your landmark (ischial spine) may hit the int pud art + int gluteal art running w/ -> hematoma - Sensory ant + lat thigh
- Motor glut max
- Sensory scrotum/labia majora, medial thigh
- Sensory: medial thigh, motor: adduction
- Sensory: suprapubic
Name the inheritance, defect, presentation, treatment MSUD
AR - can’t break down branched chain AAs b/c no BC alpha ketoacid deH complex (BCKDC)
Leucine, isoL (sweet smell), valine - restrict in diet
Accum in blood -> neurotox = how infant presents: seizure, stopped feeding, etc
Try to supplement the 5 cofactors of the enzyme: Tender Loving Care For Nancy
Thiamine
Lipoate
Coenzyme A
FAD
NAD
Why does a pt with pit hemorrhage die? What other disease could this be mistaken for
No ACTH -> CV collapse
Treat immediately w/ surg + glucocorticoids
Don’t confuse w/ rupture of saccular aneurysm at optic chiasm w/o specific CV collage or chronic history indicating hemm 2ary to pit adenoma
Why are CF pts sterile?
Congenital absence of vas deferens
Vs Kartagener syndrome = immotile sperm (similar presentation w/ recurrent pulm inf + digital clubbing)
What is the difference in mechanism between methimazole and propylthiouracil?
Both are thionamides aka block peroxidate rxns in thyroid colloid
PTU also X conversion of T4 -> T3 in the periphery
How does congenital rubella present? What type of vaccine is the MMR?
White pupils - congenital cataracts
Sensory neural hearing loss
PDA - continuous machine murmur over L infraclav
Live atten vaccine - think about it, you’ve never gotten an MMR booster so much do a good job by itself
Describe 4 major complications/SE if uterine leiomyomas
Aka FIBROIDs - think about how their size has local impact
1. Heavy/prolonged periods
2. Fertility challenges
3. Obstructs behind - constipation
4. Obstructs anteriorly - urine retention
Vs advanced cervical cancer - poop problems but also cervical bleeding
Vs rectrocele - poop problems w/o uterine enlargement
Walk through diagnostic steps if ACTH levels are inappropriately normal/elevated (not suppressed)
Do high dose dex (= potent glucocorticoid) suppression test
HIGH dose suppresses, LOW dose dose not - pit adenoma
Unchanged - ectopic ACTH prod
Both present w/ high cortisol b/c high ACTH
Where is C peptide separated from insulin?
Pre-pro-insulin - made on the RER
Proinsulin moves through RER -> golgi
In secretory granules, C cleaved from insulin - both excreted in granules - why you can detect C peptide in the blood stream
Which thyroid drugs work to stop
- I uptake
- Peroxidase rxns in the colloid
- Secretion T4 > T3
- Conversion/use at periphery
- Percholate/pertechnetate, K iodide - competitively block Na/I co-transporter (that is working against normal [I] gradient)
- Propylthiouracil/methimazole
- K iodide
- Propylthiouracil, BBers, ipodate
In males, what are the -FB molecules for FSH + LH
FSH -> Sertoli -> inhibin B @ ant pit
LH -> Leydig -> T @ ant pit + hypothal
Describe the inherited hyper-lips-proteinemia that has defective ApoE
AR, T3 = familial dysbetalipoproteinemia
B/c Apo E3/4 normally found on chylo + VLDL –> elevated VLDL, chylomicrons, remnants
Liver can’t removed these w/o Apo E3/4 = high cholesterol + Tgs
Premature atherosclerosis - palmar xanthomas
Describe type 1, 2a, 4 inherited hyperlipoproteinemias
1 = familial chylomicronemia = defective lipoprotein lipase, ApoC 2 -> high chylomicrons = acute pancreatitis, lipid in retina, xanthomas 2a = familial hypercholesterolemia = defective LDL R, Apo 100 -> high LDL = premature atherosclerosis w/ xanthomas 4 = familial hyper TGs = multiple proteins problematic = high VLDL - coronary disease, pancreatitis, diabetes
What is the difference between iodo-tyrosine deiodinase and iodo-thyronine deiodinase?
Iodo-tyrosine - removes I from MIT + DIT for recycling as T3/4 are secreted from the thyroid
Iodo-thyronine - @ periphery, remove I from T4 -> T3 = active
Describe who glucagon works
Mainly @ liver
Gs -> increase cAMP -> PKA
1. Activate glycogen phosphorylase (glycogenolysis)
2. Activate rate limiting gluconeogenesis enzymes
3. Increase F 2,6 bisphos - inhibit glycolysis
Sustained low BG -> the renal cortex becomes most impt glucose source (why E is more impt for renal gluconeo)
Mechanism of glitazones
Upreg PPAR gamma = TF that up regulates the genes for:
1. GLUT4 (induced by insulin @ peripheral tissues)
2. Adiponectin = cytokine from fat to stim FA ox
Fibrates activate PPARg to lower TGs
Describe 3 defective enzymes and presentations of cong adrenal hyperplasia
X 17 alpha - can’t go across - all aldo, no cortisol or sex - F normal genitals, M under developed, no puberty, develop aldo excess (HTN + hypoK)
X 11 B - can’t go down (further) - no cortisol, but weak aldo, more sex - no salt wasting, high ACTH b/c no -FB causes more androgen syn - why girls have ambig genitals
X 21 - can’t go down - no aldo, cort, excess androgens - salt wasting at birth, F w/ ambiguous, M w/ precocious pub
Sucrose is broken down into fructose - name the 2 enzymes needed for fructose breakdown and the diseases associated
Detect fructose w/ Cu reduction test (not urine dipstick)
Fructose -> F 1 P (fructokinase)
1. Essential fructosuria - no symptoms, benign but positive lab results
F 1 P -> DHAP or glyceraldehyde (aldolase B)
1. Hereditary fructose intol
HypoG + vomit after eat fructose
Fail 2 thrive, liver + renal fail
Presentation of glucagonoma (tumor of alpha cells)
Diabetes like… duh hyperG
Necrolytic migratory erythema - plaques the come together w/ bronze central area blistering + scaling
+/- normocytic normochromatic anemia
What is the difference between gestational HTN vs pre-eclampsia vs eclampsia
Gest - new onset BP > 20 (aka new HTN not pre-existing)
Pre - + proteinuria/end organ damage
Eclamp - + seizures
Fxns of the SER + tissues with a lot of them
Detox @ hepatocytes
Steroid syn @ adrenals, liver, gonads (ovaries + testes)
Specialized SER @ skeletal muscle
