Q

What are the symptoms of a low energy state?

A

CNS: mental retardation
CV: heart failure, pericardial effusion
Muscle: weakness, SOB, vasodilation, impotence, urinary retention, constipation

Rapidly dividing cells:

  • skin: dry
  • cuticles: brittle
  • hair:alopecia
  • bone marrow: suppressed
  • vascular endothelium: breaks down
  • lungs: infection, SOB
  • kidney: PCT will feel the effect first
  • GI: nausea, vomit, diarrhea
  • bladder: oliguria
  • sperm: decreased
  • germ cells: predisposed to cancer
  • breasts: atrophic
  • endometrium: amenorrhea

Q

Explain all restrictive lung diseases:

A

Restrictive: intersticial problem (non bacterial)

  • small stiff lungs (low VC)
  • trouble breathing in => FEV1/FVC : >0.8
  • ABG: low pO2 => increases RR, low pCO2, high pH
  • CXR: reticulo-nodular pattern, ground glass apperance
  • Die of cor pulmonale
  • Ex: NM diseases (breathing out is passive), drugs, autoimmune dz
  • Tx: Pressure support on ventilator, ^ O2 ^RR, ^inspiratory time

Q

Explain all obstructive lung diseases:

A

Obstructive: airway problem (bacterial)

  • Big mucus-filled lungs (^RV, ^Reid index = ^airway thickness/airway lumen)
  • Trouble breathing out => FEV1/FVC: ^RR, v pH
  • Die of bronchhiectasis
  • Ex: COPD
  • Tx: Manipulate rate on ventilator, ^RR, ^ expiratory time, ^O2 only if needed

Q

What is humoral immune response?

A

B cells and PMNs patrol the blood looking bacteria

17
Q

What is the cell-mediated immune response?

A

T cells and macrophages patrol the tissues looking for non-bacteria

18
Q

What are macrophages called in each area of the body?

A
Blood:Monocytes
Brain: microglia
Lung: T1 pneumocytes
Liver: Kupffer cells
Spleen: RES cells
Lymph: Dendritic cells
kidney: Mesangial cells
Payers patches: M cells
Skin: Langerhans
Bone: Osteoclasts

CT:
-Histiocytes
-Giant cells
Epitheloid cells

19
Q

What is the CBC for every vasculitis?

A

v RBC, v platelets, ^WBC, ^T cells, ^ MP and schistocytes, ^ESR

20
Q

What is the time course of the inflammatory response?

A
1 hr: swelling
day 1: PMNs show up
day 3: PMNs peak
day 4: MP/T cells show up
day 7: MP/T cells peak, fibroblast arrive
day 30: fibroblast peak
Month 3-6: Fibroblast leave
21
Q

What state does estrogen mimic?

A

The neuromuscular disease state (estrogen is a muscle relaxant)

22
Q

What does high GABA levels lead to?

A

Bradycardia, lethargy, constipation, impotence and memory loss
