Q

what produces holosytolic murmurs?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • mitral regurg
  • tricuspid regurg
  • VSD
19
Q

How do you differentiate bw the holosystolic murmurs?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • MR: radiate to axilla
  • TR: murmur increase w inspiration
  • VSD: loud, accompanied by thrill
20
Q

what happens to blood flow during inspiration?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • intrathoracic pressure drop –> more blood return to R heart
  • increase pulm vessel capacity –> decrease LV venous return
21
Q

what is the center of the airway pressure-vol curve?

Study These Flashcards
A

fxal residual capacity: resting state where airway pressure equals 0

22
Q

what is: fxal residual capacity

Study These Flashcards
A

vol of air remaining in lungs after passive expiration

23
Q

what is the intrapleural pressure at fxal residual capacity?

24
Q

IVC: formed by what? where?

Study These Flashcards
A

union of R & L common iliac veins at L4-5

25
renal A & V: located at what level of spinal cord?
L1
26
IVC: drains what?
- LE - portal system - abd, pelvic viscera
27
how does CSF exit the 4th ventricle?
thru: - lat foramina of Luschka - median foramen of Magendie
28
injury to what N causes Trendelenburg sign?
sup gluteal N
29
sup gluteal N injury: affects what muscles?
- gluteus medius - gluteus minimus - tensor fascia lata
30
sup gluteal N injury: pts present with what type of gait?
gluteus medius gait: lean toward ipsilat side when walking to stabilize pelvis
31
gastric adenocarcinoma: variants?
1) intestinal-type | 2) diffuse
32
how was intestinal-type gastric adenoCA present?
- solid mass that project into stomach lumen | - lrg, irreg ulcer w heaped up margins
33
diffuse gastric adenoCA: hallmarks
- signet cells | - linitis plastica

small, sterile vegetations on both sides of valve
40
SLE: renal manifestations
diffuse prolif glomerulonephritis
41
diffuse prolix glomerulonephritis: hallmark
