Shit - Resp UWorld Flashcards
(40 cards)
Exercise on arterial and venous values
Arterial normal; venous altered
CTFR mutation causes
altered post-translational processing of ATP-bincdin-cassette transmembrane Cl- transporter
Cheyne-Stokes causes and patters
CHF
Neuro (stroke, brain tumour, TBI)
Delayed response and increased sensitivity to PCO2
Theophylline OD
Abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea; seizures (high M+M), arrhythmia (Rx = b-blockers)
why does hyperventilation cause dizziness?
Decreased PCO2 so body thinks you have high PO2 so cerebral vessels constrict in auto regulation to prevent “intracranial HTN”. VC decreases BF causing dizziness, blurred vision, weakness
MOA chronic bronchitis vs. emphysema
CB = narrowed airways, less air thru. Emph = dilates alveoli; decreased ability of deoxygenated blood in vessels to contact the air in the alveoli
Dyspnea with dry cough, insidious, sub pleural cysts, restrictive pattern =
Idiopathic/usual progressive pulmonary fibrosis
honeycomb lung =
indiopathic/usual progressive pulmonary fibrosis
What are mycelia acids
Long, branched, saturated FAs
true vs false vocal cord linings
true = start squam. false (and vestibule) = respiratory.
drug that needs activation by catalase-peroxidase
INH
where is rRNA transcribed, and by what?
Nucelolus; RNA pol-I
aspiration pneumonia via what (where from body and bugs)
oropharynx.
fusobacterium, peptostreptococcus, bacteroides
eggshell calcifications and birefringent crystals
silicosis
coal macules
Macrophages full of carbon
INH AE
Neurotoxicity (peripheral neuropathy (rx by B6), hepatotoxicity, sideroblastic anemia, SLE-like
Quitting smoking drugs
Bupropion, varenicline (partial agonist)
tissue destruction in MTB mediated by:
hypersensitivity reaction
Probability of kid getting AR disease =
Parent carrier % x parent carrier % x 1/4
Baro-R vs chemo-Rs: names and what they respond to
Peripheral:
Aortic arch and carotid sinus = BP
Carotid body and aortic body = O2 (CO2, H+)
Central:
Medulla = CO2 (via H+/pH)
pulmonary C-fibres
= stretch receptors; prevent lung over-inflation
what causes pus to be green?
Myeloperoxidase from neutrophil azurophilic granules
MAC (vs MTB): s/s, host, prophylaxis
MAC:
s/s = like TB, but also hits reticuloendothelial system so anemia, hepatosplenomegally, high LDH, high ALP. Also grows best @41C (MTB doesn’t).
Host = HIV CD4
Nerve near piriform recess
internal branch of superior laryngeal n = afferent of gag reflex
