Q

explain the process of mast cell / basophil cell degranulation?

A
  • the cells bind the Fc portion of igE
  • when a multivalent antigen comes in contact with the cell, multiple igE antibodies become cross linked resulting in aggregation of the receptors on the cell. This clumping leads to activation of intracellular tyrosine kinases, leading to degranulation

Q

explain the physiologic changes seen in an endurance athletes heart?

A

-increase in the volume load on the heart leads to eccentric hypertrophy with some concentric hypertrophy, and enhanced development of the coronary capillaries, and decreased resting HR

24
Q

what phase of the cell cycle does bleomycin inhibit?

25
what antibodies are present in primary biliary cholangitis?
AMA
26
progesterone receptor and estrogen receptor expression on breast cancer is associated with what outcomes?
better outcomes
27
expression of HER2 on breast cancer is associated with what outcomes?
worse outcomes
28
manifestations of peripartum cardiomyopathy?
-usually dilated cardiomyopathy in the last month of pregnancy or wihtin 5 months of birth
29
how does the ejection fraction changed in diastolic cardiomyopathy?
decreased
30
how is the compliance changed in dilated cardiomyopathy?
increased
31
which hormone of pregnancy causes insulin resistance?
human placental lactogen
32
human placental lactogen effects
- cause insulin resistance to increase blood glucose - increase maternal lipolysis to free lipids and ketones for energy for the mom (so the baby can have the glucose) - also stimulates beta cells to produce insulin
33
which cells secrete human placental lactogen?
syncitiotrophoblasts
34
are corticosteroids used in PSGN?
no
35
are corticosteroids used in minimal change disease?
yes
36
where do the vertebral arteries travel through to get to the brain?
transverse foramina
37
effects of pulsatile GnRH secretion?
-pulsatile stimulation leads to upregulation of the GnRH receptors and thus increased FSH and LH secretion
38
use of administering pulsatie GnRH ?
to treat infertility
39
what nerve does negleria fowleri travel in?
olfactory nerve
40
what is responsible for the green colour of pus and sputum in bacterial infections?
myeloperoxidase
41
is shiga-toxin necessary for shigellosis?
No-many strains dont have it and shigella still invades the M cells of peyers pataches and causes cell death
42
what type of drug is dysopyramide?
Class IA antiarythmic
43
Class IA antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?
prolonged
44
Class IB antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?
shortened
45
Class IC antiarythmic effects on length of action potential?
no change
46
where are ringed sideroblasts seen in lead poisoning?
in the bone marrow NOT ON BLOOD SMEAR
47
will ringed sideroblasts be seen on blood smear of someone with lead poisoning?
NO they are in the bone marrow
48
how to treat male hypogonadism?
testosterone replacement
49
what electrolyte abnormality increases the risk of digoxin toxicity?
hypOkalemia - it increases the binding of digoxin to the receptor
50
which electrolyte abnormality is found in digoxin toxicity?
hypERkamia - digoxin is inhibiting the Na/K atpase, keeping K extracellular
51
An infarct occurs in the brain. 6 months later, what will be seen?
Persistent myelin debris- may persist for years
52
Why is myelin debris slowly cleared after an infarct in the brain?
-In the CNS phagocytic cells are recruited more slowly due to the BBB -furthermore the oligodendrocytes infarcted undergo apoptosis and do not help clear debris -
53
what is c-ANCA?
proteinaise-3-Anca which is an antiNEUTROPHIL cytoplasmic antibody
54
what is p-ANCA?
MPO-ANCA, or perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
55
what does anca stand for
anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies
56
Rb mutations are associated with which bone cancer?
osteosarcoma
