Q

When would you give methimazole over propylthiouracil for hyperthyroidism? Vice versa?

A

Methimazole: generally preferred - it’s less hepatotoxic

Propylthiouracil: in pregnancy - it’s not teratogenic. In thyroid storm - it inhibits peripheral T4-T3 conversion

Q

Thionamides MOA?

A

Inhibit thyroid peroxidase, impairing iodine organification

26
Q

A patient with hyperthyroidism presents with fever and sore throat. What do you check for and why?

A

Check CBC for neutropenia (<500) in case they have thionamide-induced agranulocytosis

27
Q

Pathogenesis of tumor lysis syndrome?

A

Chemotherapy for high grade lymphoma, leukemia, or other neoplasm results in lysis of tumor cells releasing ions and uric acid

28
Q

Where does uric acid precipitate in the kidney?

A

In areas of low pH: distal tubules and collecting ducts

29
Q

Why is tumor lysis syndrome an oncologic emergency?

A

Lysis of tumor cells could release uric acid, which precipitate into obstructive crystals in the distal tubules or collecting ducts (where there is low pH), causing obstructive uropathy, and then ARF

30
Q

How do you treat tumor lysis syndrome?

A

Urine alkalinization and hydration. Allopurinol can be used to reduce uric acid production during tumor cell lysis

31
Q

Allopurinol MOA?

A

Xanthine oxidase inhibitor

32
Q

Chronic myeloproliferative disorders have a mutation in what protein? Except which disorder?

A

JAK2 (tyrosine kinase) mutation: V617F

Except CML: Philadelphia chromosome t(9:22) BCR ABL

33
Q

What is the mutation in CML?

A

Philadelphia chromosome
t(9:22)
BCR-ABL

34
Q

What is the Haldane effect?

A

Binding of O2 to Hgb causes it to release H and CO2

35
Q

What is the Bohr effect?

A

High tissue concentrations of CO2 and H facilitate O2 release from Hgb

36
Q

What is the most common cause of vision impairment in HIV patients?

A

CMV induced retinitis

37
Q

What are the tx options for CMV retinitis?

A

Ganciclovir, Foscarnet, Cidofovir

38
Q

Foscarnet MOA?

A

Pyrophosphate analog that can chelate Ca

Also induces renal Mg-wasting, reducing PTH release

Causes hypoCa and hypoMg, which can cause sz

39
Q

Sz in HIV patient with vision impairment is likely due to what?

A

Foscarnet tx from CMV induced retinitis

40
Q

What are the major acyclovir toxicities?

A

Crystal nephropathy and neurtoxicity

41
Q

What toxicity is gancyclovir associated with?

A

Severe neutropenia

42
Q

Which drug for CMV induced retinitis is contraindicated in an HIV patient receiving Zidovudine? Why?

A

Gancyclovir, due to BM suppression from Zidovudine and potential for increased neutropenia

43
Q

Why might you recommend adequate hydration with Indinavir administration?

A

Kidney stones

44
Q

What organism grows well at low temps? GNR, beta hemolytic, facultative intracellular…

A

Listeria monocytogenes

45
Q

What type of immunity gets rid of Listeria?

A

Cell mediated (due to their facultative intracellular characteristic)

46
Q

What are the most common cardiac abnormalities seen in Turner patients?

A
  1. Bicuspid aortic valve
  2. Coarctation of the aorta
  3. Aortic root dilation
47
Q

What is diagnosed with a low serum C1 esterase inhibitor level?

A

Hereditary angioedema: AD condition of episodic, painless, non-pitting, well circumscribed edema

48
Q

How does decreased C1 esterase inhibitor lead to angioedema?

A

Allows the C1 (classical) complement pathway and kallikrein-catalyzed bradykinin to increase vasodilation and permeability

49
Q

Why are ACE-I contraindicated in Hereditary Angioedema (HA)?

A

Bradykinin production is increased in HA, and its breakdown is inhibited by ACE-I

50
Q

Dopamine agonists? MOA?

A

Ergot compounds: bromocriptine, pergolide
Nonergot compounds: pramipexole, ropinirole

MOA: directly stimulates D2 receptors

51
Q

Why do non-selective alpha blockers (phenoxybenzamine, phentolamine) cause tachycardia?

A

In addition to blocking a1, which causes vasodilation, it blocks a2.

Presynaptic a2 inhibit NE release, causing bradycardia

52
Q

What 2 receptors does vasopressin (ADH) act on? What do they do?

A

V1: vasoconstriction, prostaglandin release
V2: antidiuretic response

53
Q

Chronic rejection of lung transplant involves what part of the lung?

A

Small bronchioles (Bronchiolitis obliterans)

54
Q

Chronic rejection of kidney transplant involves what part of the kidney?

A

Vascular obliteration

55
Q

Myxomatous changes in the media of large arteries are associated with what disease?

A

Cystic medial degeneration, as in Marfan syndrome

56
Q

Why do you see cystic medial degeneration in Marfan syndrome?

A

AD fibrillin-1 defect leads to dysfunction of the extracellular matrix microfibrils, which prevents proper elastic fiber formation and leads to myxomatous changes

57
Q

What food mimics Marfan syndrome?

A

Sweet peas, due to their beta-aminopropionitrile inhibiting lysyl oxidase which cross links elastin and collagen fibers

58
Q

What is NF-kB?

A

Transcription factor for cytokine production

59
Q

What causes increased NF-kB expression in Crohn’s disease?

A

NOD2 gene mutation increases NF-kB

60
Q

What are the HLA gene associations with Crohn’s disease?

A

HLA-DR1/DQw5

61
Q

What are the HLA gene associations with UC?

A

HLA-DR2

62
Q

Most common side effect of Ethambutol?

A

Optic neuritis
