Q

No upper vagina

A

Normal female except for mullerian aplasia.
Kidney aplasia common
Uterus can be abscent or hypertrophied. No menstruation either way.

19
Q

Renal arteries come from aaorta at what level?

A

L1, seen in CT

20
Q

IVC originates from

A

Union of right and left common illiac veins. L4-L5

21
Q

Aldosterone escape.

A

In cases of hyeraldosteronism, renal blood flow increases causing sodium to be excreted. Hypokalemia and alkalosis happen but Na is normal.

22
Q

Reticulocyte count after IM b12 administration

A

Peaks early.

Erythrocytes peak later.

23
Q

Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency needs supplementation of what?

A

Lysine and leucine (ketogenic).

Can’t be metabolized to pyruvate so no lactic acidosis. Can promote TCA.

24
Q

Anesthetic onset

A

Slow if atriovenous concentration is large. High tissue solubility have high AV gradient (bc not much gets back through venous). Slow onset, need more.

25
Myocplasma pneumoniae diagnosis
``` Cold agglutinins (cross reacting IgM increased). Hemolytic anemia (attack I antigen on blood cell) LDH, reticulcyte elevation and a positive Coombs test = sign of hemolyitic anemia. ```
26
Produce aversion to smoking and nicotine withdrawal
Varenicline
27
X linked agammaglobunemia (bruton)
Mutation of bruton tyrosine kinase. | No germinal center/B cells
28
Heteroplasmy
Different cells contain different amounts of affected mitochondria
29
Aspergillus fumigatus infection
45 degree angle branched hyphae. Commonly attack old cavities as fungus ball. (Asthma or previous tuberculosis) Immunocompromised
30
Paroxysmal breathlessness with no aspirin, infection, or exerise
Extrinsic allergic astma Carchot-leyden cells (eosphiophilcrystaloid bodies) IL5 mediated via Th2 cells
31
Larger than normal lung volume with breathing problems
Increased Residual volume (left over after expiration) | COPD Like emphysema/asthma.bronchiectasis.
32
Homeobox genes
Encodde transcription factors
33
Sucrose
Glucose and fructose | Watch out for in AR aldolase B deficiency
34
Adenoma to carcinoma sequence
Colon. Normal to early adenoma (APC mutation, tumor sup) EArly adenoma to late adenoma (Kras mutation, proto-onco) late ademona to Malignant (P53 and DCC)
35
Methotrexate
Inhibits Dihydrofolate reductase (prevents formation of THF from DHF and folic acid) DHF accumulation
36
Tetanus
Exotoxin prevents inhibitory neurotransmitters (glycine, GABA)
37
RAises circulating factor VIII
Desmopressin, also helps vWE secretion.
38
Prevent acyclovir toxicity
Aggressive hydration
39
lyme disease treatment
Doxycycline or penicillin-like (ceftriaxone)
40
Super high, acute hypertensino vs low, chronic hypertension
Acute/high: hyperplastic (onion thickening via smooth muscle) Lower/chronic: acellular thickening (hYaline) in intema.
41
Can look like insuloma
Sulfonylurea medication
42
Cardiac tamponade
Hypotension with pulsus paradoxus (decrease in systolic/pulse on inspiration) Eleavated JVD Muffled heart sounds
43
Varices and veins
Esophageal varice: left gastric vein if lower 1/3. Azygous if upper 2/3ds Hemmorrhoids: superio rectal vein Capud medussa: paraumbilical Fundic stomach: small gastric
