25
what is: Janeway lesion
acute infective endocarditis --> septic embolization from valve vegetations --> nontender, macular, erythematous lesions --> usu palms/soles
26
granulomatosis w polyangiitis (Wegener's): triad
- pulm ssx - URT involvement - RPGN
27
FOOSH --> can lead to?
dislocate lunate bone
28
what is: Eccentric hypertrophy
type of hypertrophy where the walls and chamber of a hollow organ undergo growth in which the overall size and volume are enlarged
29
what is: Cushing's ulcer
stress-related mucosal dz: intracranial injury --> increase ICP --> direct stim vagus --> increase gastric acid secrete --> ulcer
30
lunate bone: location
more medial of the 2 carpal bones that articulate w radius
31
osteogenesis imperfecta: defining charact
- spont fracture - bone & tooth malform - blue sclera
32
how does isoniazid cause B6 def?
direct inh pyridoxine phosphokinase: cannot convert pyridoxine to active form
33
myasthenia gravis: pathophys
autoimmune --> NMJ --> postsyn terminal --> decrease fxal ACh receptors --> ACh can't bind & open postsyn cation channels --> decrease end plate potential --> can't reach threshold potential --> no AP
34
what is: Heinz body
Hb precipitate --> seen in G6PD def d/t oxidative stress
35
methylmalonic acidemia: cause
AR --> methylmalonyl CoA mutase
36
what is: transudate
ultrafiltrate of plasma caused by hemodynamic changes
37
hydroxylation of proline & lysine residues in collagen: fx? where?
max tensile strength rER
38
clopidogrel: use
prevent CV events in CAD pts (as effective as ASA)
39
what is: Osler node
finger, toe --> painful, violaceous nodule
40
lat corticospinal tract degen --> ssx
UMN signs
41
acute promyelocytic leukemia: assoc dz
DIC
42
1g carb = how many Calories?
4
43
methylmalonic acidemia: lab findings
- hyperammonemia - ketotic hypoglycemia - metab acid
44
vitC def: ssx
- bleeding gums - ecchymosis, petechiae - impaired wound heal
45
cardiogenic acute pulm edema: histology
increased infiltration of plasma H2O & electrolytes into lung interstitium & alveoli
46
hemophilia: classic manifestation
- hemarthrosis - delayed, prolong bleeding following minor trauma, surg - intramusc hemorrhage
47
what is: retinoblastoma (Rb) protein
regulator of G1-->S phase transition: - hypophos --> active --> bind E2F transcription factor --> inh gene transciption necess for G1-->S transition - hyperphos --> inactive --> release E2F
48
Ehlers-Danlos: mutation
collagen type V
49
extensor carpi radialis brevis: fx
wrist extend
50
mild hemophilia A: tx? MOA?
desmopressin (DDAVP): - increase circulating levels of factor VIII - stim vWF secretion
51
what is: exudate
extravasation of plasma, plasma protein, circulating lymphocytes --> seen in inflamm states
52
G6PD def: mode of inheritance
XR
53
1g protein = how many Calories?
4
54
mycoplasma pnemoniae --> what dz?
- walking pneumonia | - tracheobronchitis
55
gallbladder hypomotility: features
- postprandial RUQ discomfort - CCK stim --> slow/incomplete gallbladder emptying - biliary stasis --> gallbladder continue to actively absorb H2O from bile --> bile concentration --> bile precipitate --> biliary sludge --> risk for stone formation, bile duct obstruct
56
bacterial endocarditis --> types of lesions? cause?
embolization of septic vegetations: - Janeway lesion - Osler node - splinter hemorrhage - Roth spots
57
1g fat = how many Calories?
9
58
what is pyridoxine needed for?
heme syn: cofactor for gamma-aminolevulinate synthase --> rate limiting step
59
highly lipophilic anesthetic drug: mult-compartment model of distribution? results in?
IV admin: 1) high [] in central cmpt (plasma) 2) rapidly dist to well-vascularized peripheral cmpt --> brain, liver, kidney, lungs, heart 3) re-dist over time --> poorly vascularized peripheral cmpt --> skeletal muscle, fat, bone short DOA
60
methylmalonic acidemia: pathophys
normally: catabolism of aa --> propionyl CoA --> methylmalonyl CoA --> succinyl CoA --> enter TCA cannot convert methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA --> methylmalonic acid, propionic acid buildup: - metab acid - inh gluconeogenesis --> hypoglycemia - inh urea cycle --> hyperammonia
61
when should you suspect dilated cardiomyopathy caused by viral myocarditis?
progressive onset of HF in setting of recent viral infect
62
ant motor horn degen --> ssx
LMN signs
63
ankylosing spondylitis: ssx
- axial jt --> stiff & fuse (ankylosis) - inflamm at tendon insertion to bone (enthesitis) - limited chest expansion --> hypovent: involvement of thoracic spine, costovertebral/costosternal jx
64
what is: HTN emergency
severe HTN (>180/120) + end organ damage
65
buspirone: charact
- slow onset of axn - no muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant properties - no risk of dependence
66
aortic dissection: #1 RF
HTN
67
anterolat LV infarct: comp
- LV fail - cardiogenic acute pulm edema - pulm venous HTN (congestion) - transudate of plasma into lung interstitium & alveoli
68
how does viral myocarditis lead to dilated cardiomyopathy?
myocardial inflamm --> heart chambers --> dilate & enlrg (eccentric hypertrophy) --> decrease V contractility (systolic dysfx)
69
lat epicondylitis: cause? ssx?
overuse extensor carpi radialis brevis --> angiofibroblastic tendinosis at its origin on lat epicondyle
70
what is: biotin

71
what is normal partial pressure of O2 in alveoli?
104
72
name the opsonins
- IgG | - C3b
73
