Pathogenesis of centiacinar emph
release of proteinases (esp elastase) from infiltrating neutrophils and alveolar macrophages
paranoid personality vs delusional disorder
paranoid= pervasive pattern of suspicions or odd beliefs (no delusions)
delusional = delusion(s) for at least 1 month; subtypes: erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, & somatic
caudal regression (sacral agenesis –> LE paralysis and and urinary incont)
poorly controlled maternal diabetes
cocaine + fetus
vasocontriction –> insufficient blood flow –> spontaneous abortion, intrauterine growth retardaion, placental abruption, and/or prematurity
rubella (maternal URI) + fetus
mental retardation, heart defects
vit A + fetus
craniofacial abn, posterior fossa CNS defects, auditory defects, abn of great vessesl (similar to DiGeorge)
Fe def anemia + fetus
growth restriction
Fe most important during which part of preg
2nd half - blood volume expands considerably
dorsal panc bud
body, tail, most of head, accessory duct (Santorini)
ventral panc bud
uncinate, inf/post head, major panc duct (of Wirsung)
Disseminated mycobacterial disease in infancy or early childhood
INF-gamma
Lower resp infx + Giardia
X-linked aggammaglobinemia; B-cell immunodeficiency - issue in maturation of B cells
Infx with encapsulated org; reccurent N. meningitidis/N. gonorrhoeae
C3 deficiency
Delayed separation of umbilical cord
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency - defect in CD18 (integrin component - adherence/transmigration)
Reccurrant cutaneous infx withoug pus formation, poor wound healing
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (CD18 - intgrin)
Gram negative kindey-shaped cocci
N. Men
Virulence factor correlated to morbidity/mortality of N. Men
Meningococccal lipooligosaccharide
differs from LPS b/c lacks repading O antigen
Cheyne stokes description
cyclic - gradually increasing tidal volume then gradually decreasing tidal volume then apnea… repeat
Cheyne stokes a/w
- Cadiac disease (advanced CHF)
- Neurologic (stroke, brain tumor, trauma)
Cheyne stokes etiology
slow resp feedback loop w/ enhanced response to CO2;
slow to respond –> max CO2 –> hyperventilate -> drop CO2 –> stop breathing
Prox tubule curve…
(Pic)
Fragile X - etio
increased CGG repeats on long arm of X –> hypermethylation of cytosine bases –> gene inactivation (FMR-1)
mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, macroorchidsm
Fragile X
CF Chloride channel -( ___ gated)
ATP- gated
