Q

Left shift of the neutrophil curve means

A

immature neutrophils, massive bacterial infection, tissue necrosis and cortisol overload. Decreased Fc receptors, which helps neutrophils to recognize immunoglobulin which is going to act as an opsonin for phagocytosis. Immature neutrophils won’t have Fc receptors.

Most common childhood vasculitis involving skin (palpable purpura on buttocks/legs), althralgias and GI (abdominal pain). Secondary to IgA immune complex deposition. Associated with IgA nephropathy (Berger disease). Is self-limited, if severe: steroids.
41
Liver angiosarcoma is associated with
exposure to polyvinyl chloride, arsenic or thorotrast.
42

43
Thoracic aneurysm is commonly due to
tertiary syphilis
44
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is primarily due to
atherosclerosis, smokers, hypertension.
45
Dressier syndrome
autoimmune pericarditis, months after an infarction.
46
Stable angina EKG shows
ST segment depression due to subendocardial ischemia.
47
Unstable angine EKG shows
ST segment depression due to subendocardial ischemia
48
Prinzmetal angina EKG shows
ST segment elevation due to transmural ischemia.
49
Most commonly involved artery in MI
left anterior descending artery
50

56
PDA is associated with
Congenital Rubella
57
In Tetralogy of Fallot, patients learn to squat in response to
a cyanotic spell, increased arterial resistance decreases shunting and allows more blood to reach the lungs. Boot shaped heart on X-rays.
58
Transposition of Great Vessels is associated with
Maternal diabetes.
59
Coarctation of the Aorta is associated with
Turner syndrome, engorged arteries cause notching of ribs on X-ray. Associated with bicuspid aortic valve.

molecular mimicry of bacterial M protein that resembles proteins in human tissue.
61
Aschoff bodies
foci of chronic inflammation, reactive histiocytes with slender, way nuclei (Anitschkow cells).
62
Chronic rheumatic fever can lead to
fusion of the commissure in aortic valves, and almost always involves the mitral valve; leads to thickening of chordae tendinae and cusps.
63
Aortic stenosis can lead to
microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (RBC's are damaged, producing schistocytes while crossing the calcified valve)
64
Pulse pressure
is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
65
In aortic regurgitation systolic and diastolic pressures.....
Systolic pressure increases and diastolic pressure decreases, increasing the pulse pressure.
66
Pulses seen in aortic regurgitation
bounding pulse (water-hammer pulse), pulsating nail bed (Quincke pulse) and head bobbing.
67
Mitral valve prolapse can be seen in
Marfan syndrome or Ehler Danlos syndrome
68
In mitral valve prolapse, murmur becomes softer with
squatting (increasing systemic resistance decreases left ventricular emptying)
69
Mitral regurgitation murmur will be louder with
squatting and expiration

endocarditis due to sterile vegetations that arise in association with SLE.

Potter sequence
77
APKD can present with
hepatic cyst, berry aneurism and mitral valve prolapse
78
Part of the nephron more prone to acute tubular necrosis
proximal tubule and medullary segment of the thick ascending limb
79
Causes of acute tubular necrosis are:
aminoglycosides, heavy metals, myoglobinuria, ethylene glycol, radio contrast dye and urate (tumor lysis syndrome)
80
Are used prior chemotherapy to decrease the risk of irate-induced ATN
Allopurinol and hydration
81
Acute interstitial nephritis presents with
eosinophils in the urine and may progress to renal papillary necrosis.
82
Renal Papillary necrosis causes includes:
sickle cell disease, sickle cell traits, diabetes mellitus and chronic analgesic abuse.
83
Nephrotic syndrome may be accompanied with:
hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia
84
Minimal change disease is related to
hodgkin lymphoma
85
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may be associated with
HIV, heroin use and sickle cell disease
86
Membranous nephropathy (immune deposition) may be associated with
caucasian, hepatitis B and C, solid tumors, SLE or drugs (NSAID's and penicillamine). Spike and dome appearance.
87
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
tram-track appearance due to immune complex deposition.
88
Diabetes mellitus can lead to renal failure by:
non enzymatic glycosylation resulting in hyaline arteriolosclerosis (Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules). ACE inhibitors slow the progression.
89
