week2 lectures Flashcards
religions that have higher riskof suicide (2)
jewish + protestant
pt’s hx, FH, dmeographics, cultureal/regligous beliefs , and personaty traits are eg’s of
immutatble risks
4 groups of acute predictors for suicidality?
- Anxiety,panic attacks, insomnia, agitation, restlessness
- irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsiveity
- hypomania + mani
- hopeless, helplessness
3 components of the risk triad
ideation, intention, plan
depression is assc with __% of suicides and schizophrenia is assc with __%
80%; 10%
1/3 of patients have sought medical attn within ___ months of death
6 month
the ss short allele for ____ conveys poor resiliences; ↑MDD; ↑risk for suicide during stress
serotonin
hint: LL long allele = protective
using others to kill oneslef; occurs as a pact by females or the elderly
victim-precipitated homicide; murder-suicide
hint: murder suicide turns out to be homicide/coercion/rampage kill?
3 screening tools
- Columbia Suicide Severity Scale
- suicide behaviors Questionnaire
- PHQ-9
if you cant hospitalize a high risk suicide pt, what cna you do?
detain for 1-63 ∞state law
hint: extension is possible with court involvment (CPL)
2 drugs that ↓ suicidal ideation per FDA
Lithium + cloazpine
what does an involuntary commitment require and what are the 3 types?
require psychiatrist sign off
emergency hold (2 wks)
director of Community Service (72 h - 2 mo)
2 Physician Certificate (2 mo)
difference bwn informa land formal voluntary commitment
formal - pt signs in but is held for 3 days
informal - pt can sign in and out at will
suicide tx (4 steps)
- interview (triad)
- good hs with risk factos
- ask for protective thngs that keep them alive
- least restrictive approach (acute anxiety medication > slow acting antiDs> ↑support + connectivity > send to hospital)
explain autonomic and hormonal control of CV fx (baroR’s and vagal outflow)
blood loss –> ↓BP –> ↑sympathetic outflow and renin release + ↓PNS (vagal) outflow
M3 rcps _____ (relaxes/contracts) GI + GU sphincters and bv endothelium; explain the pathway
relaxes;
M3 rcp –> IC signalling –> MLCK activation (inh by SNS β2, which ↑cAMP)
hint: EDRF (endoth derived relaxing factor) = NO which relaxes sm muscle
what rcps what block/ activate in asthma pts?
bronchiolar muscle: block M3 (contracts); stim β2 (relaxes)
what effect does SNS have on SA node action potentials (2)
- ↑rate of phase 4 depolz (cAMP channel)
- ↑AP freq
hint: β1 –> Gs –> ↑cAMP
what effect does PNS have on SA node action potentials (2)
- ↓rate of phase 4 depolz
- hyperpolz max dialstolic potential (Gi K+ channel) –> ↓AP freq
hint: M2 –> Gi+K+ –> ↑ polz; M2’s are inh autoR’s
explain the signalling pathway for smooth muscle contraction
𝛂1 –> Gq + PLC –> ↑IP3/Ca+/DAG
explain the signalling pathway for inh of NT release
𝛂2 –> Gi + K and Gi + -AC –> ↓ cAMP + ↑polz
explain the signalling pathway for ↑F and rate of heart contraction
β1 –> Gs + AC –> ↑cAMP
explain the signalling pathway for smooth muscle relaxation
β2 –> Gs + AC –> ↑cAMP
explain the signalling pathway for lipolysis + sm muscle relaxation
β3 –> Gs + AC –> ↑cAMP
