Q

What is the purpose of a mixing study? (coagulation disorders)

A

If person is factor deficient, then mixing with normal serum will return PT/PTT to normal levels but if there is an inhibitor it will not.

Q

Definition of relative risk.

A

Incidence rate of the exposed group divided by the incidence rate of the unexposed group. It is the likelihood an outcome based on if you were exposed versus if you were not exposed.

Q

How do NSAIDs affect GFR

A

Prostaglandins dilate the Afferent arteriole, so NSAIDS it decrease GFR

Q

how do ACE inhibitors affect GFR

A

angiotensin II constricts the efferent leading to an increase in GFR. So inhibiting it with an ACE inhibitor DILATES the efferent arteriole leading to a DECREASE in GFR

Q

what does CN 9 innervate

A

glossopharyngeal nerve provides motor and sensory information to stylopharyngeus nerve which helps with swallowing. also innervates parotid gland and provide sensory information to pharynx

19
Q

what part of the colon are diverticula most common?

A

sigmoid because it is the narrowest

20
Q

Monoclonal antibody that inhibits glycoprotein IIb/IIIa which inihibits platlet aggregation by that normally occurs because of binding with fibrinogen

21
Q

binds to adenosine diphosphate receptor (P2Y12 receptor) to inhibit platlet aggregation

22
Q

phosphodiesterase III inhibitors reduce the degredation of adenosine

A

cliostazol and dipyridamole

23
Q

how does the liver or kidney regenerate after injury

A

in healthy indviduals the majority of cells are in G0 phase and can re-enter G1 phase after injury

24
Pathogenesis of graves disease
Autoantibody that stimulates thyroid stimulating hormone receptors on thyroid follicular cells
25
Myeloperoxidase deficiency MOA
inability to produce hydrochlorous acid within phagolysosomes
26
Femoral neck fracture would cause?
Foot drop. because common peroneal nerve innervates dorsiflexion
27
What is the mechanism of action of the pertussis toxin
It causes intracellular cAMP through inactivation of the Gi subunits of G protein couple receptors leading to unihibited adenylyl cyclase activity
28
when is creatine kinase MB detectable after an MI?
6 hours
29
What is CK MB indicative of?
coagulative necrosis due to increased cell membrane permeability which causes leaking of CK MB out of cytoplasm
30
what is the definition of odd's ratio
comparision of an outcome in the exposed group versus the outcome of an outcome in the unexposed group
31
what happens during muscle disuse atrophy
Decrease in protein muscle synthesis and an increase in protein degradation.
32
what amino acids do astrocytes transport?
glutamate, glycine, GABA
33
where do Beta 1 receptors target
heart--> myocardial contraction
34
Beta 2 receptor location
smooth muscle of bronchi and blood vessels, decreased uterine contractility
35
what causes the formation of granulomas?
activation of IL-12 and IFN gamma
36
Pathophysiology of hemochromatosis?
Mutation of HFE gene (iron sensing gene) which leads to abnormally increased intestinal absorption of iron
37
sudden onset of pain, pulseless, cold extermity
embolic arterial occulusion
38
Encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, reoccuring stroke-like episodes. Maternally inherited
Mitochondrial myopathy-MELAS
39
What enzyme is deficient in facial flushing after alcohol consumption?
aldehyde dehydrogenase
40
What happens between muscle contraction stimulus
sequestration of calcium in sarcoplasm reticulum to allow for relaxation
41
What is tetany?
Increased firing that does not allow for any relaxation to occur and no calcium sequestration
42
What infections are common in patients with chronic granulomatous disease?
catalase positive organsims. Staph, norcordia, burkholderia, asperigullus
43
what kind of infections do patients with myeloperoxidase deficiency have?
Fungal
44
where does osteosarcoma usually metastasize too?
Lungs
45
what would be found on fine needle biopsy of a pt. diagnosed with hashimoto's
lymphoid infiltrate with presence of hurthle cells
46
what is the antibody in hashimoto thyroiditis?
antithyroglobin and antihryoid peroxidase antibodies
