obstructive sleep apnea: pathophys
sleep –> upper airway –> recurrent obstruct –> reduce ventilation –> transient hypercapnia, hypoxemia:
- reflexive systemic & pulm vasoconstrict
- sym cardiac stim
differentiate: class IA vs IB antiarr –> preferentially bind?
IC: open Na channel –> areas of normal automaticity
IB: inactivated Na channel –> areas of ischemia –> rapidly depolarize
class IA antiarrh: MOA
1) block Na channel –> depress phase 0 depolarization
2) moderate block K channel –> prolong repolarization
==> increase AP duration
injure cervical symp ganglia –> manifestation?
Horner synd
heroin withdrawal: key ssx
- dilated pupil
- yawn
- lacrimation
alcohol withdrawal w adv liver dz –> tx?
benzo without active metabolites –> lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam
absence + tonic clonic sz –> tx?
valproate
what is: permissiveness
hormone allow another to exert its max effect
Dx: “bunches of grapes”
Caused by?
complete mole
trophoblast prolif
Dx: low LPL
familial chylomicronemia synd
how is copper eliminated?
secrete into bile –> excreted in stool
absence + tonic clonic sz –> tx –> ethosuximide?
no –> does not suppress tonic clonic sz
what is: celecoxib
selective COX2 inh
spasticity: clinical presentation
- muscle stiff
- painful muscle spasm
- scissoring gait
- lack of dexterity
T/F: familial hyperchol –> premature coronary artery dz?
T
dystrophin: fx
allow interaxn bw extracell CT & intracell contraction apparatus
what hormone exerts permissiveness?
cortisol
alcohol/benzo withdrawal: key ssx
sz
nitrate: MOA
vasc smooth muscle relax –> systemic vasodilate –> decrease LVEDV, wall stress –> decrease preload –> decrease myocardial O2 demand –> relieve angina ssx
what cytokines are produced in response to viral infect?
IFN a & B
suspensory lig of ovary: contains?
ovarian A, V, N, lymphatics
How do IFN a & B halt protein syn in virus infected cells?
signalling –> transcribe antiviral enzymes that can halt protein syn –> become active only in presence of dsRNA ==> inh protein syn only in virus infected cells
radial N injury: cause
repetitive pressure/trauma at axilla
huntingtin protein –> expand CAG trinucleotide repeats: effect?
gain of fx –> increase histone deacetylation –> repress transcription (silence) –> no neurotrophic factors –> neuron cell death
