Tx of thyroid storm

A

TREAT NOW
life threatening issues first: intubation, diuresis, anti-seizure meds
then: thionamide, iodine (stops them from making thyroid), gluccocorticoids, bile acid binder, nutrition

PROLONGED QT (K, Herg channels)
proinflammatory: ICAM, VCAM, E-selectin, VEGF, IL-6
increase platelet activation
decrease fibrinolytic balance (increase PAI-1)

119

syndrome of hypoglycemia associated autonomic failure (HAAF)

A

reccurent hypoglycemia
hypoglycemia unawareness
defective counter regulation
must re-evalute regimen

A

ONE

other counter regulators: cortisol, glucagon, GH

121

  2. melanocortin-4 receptor, POMC mutations
  3. PPARy2
  4. prohormone convertase-1 mutations
  5. TH receptor B mutations
124

promote weight gain

  1. Neuropeptide Y
  2. melanin-concentrating hormone
  3. agouti-related peptide
  4. Ghrelin
  5. opioids
  6. endocannabinoids
    other: galanin, orexin, dynorphin, B-endorphin, NE/Epi, GHRH, Somatostatin, androgen, progesterone
125
Q

anerexogenic agents

A

promote weight loss

  1. leptin
  2. peptide YY
  3. alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone
  4. GLP-1
  5. serotonin
  6. cocaine, amphetamines
    other: insulin, ciliary neurotrophic factor, urocortin, neurotensin, CRH, bombesin, Cholecystokinin, enterostatin, DA
126
Q

opioids

A

weight gain

127
Q

endocannabinoids

A

weight gain
activated by: pain, anxiety
actions: induce appetiete, extinguish aversive memories, inhibit motor behavior, modulate temperature, hormone release and sm. muscle tone
receptors: CB1/2

128
Q

serotonin

A

weight loss

129
Q

ghrelin

A

weight gain

130
Q

glucagon-like peptide- 1

A

weight loss

131
Q

alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)

A

weight loss

binds MC4R and reduces orexigenic effectors

132
Q

melanin concentrating hormone

A

weight gain

133
Q

agouti related peptide (AgRP)

A

weight gain

134
Q

neuropeptide Y (NPY)

A

weight gain

135
Q

peptide YY

A

weight loss

136
Q

cocaine-amphetamine regulated peptide (CART)

A

weight loss

137
Q

leptin

A

weight loss
made by adipose
inhibits: agouti-related peptide, neuropeptide Y
stimulates: POMC to produce MSH

138
Q

POMC

A

weight loss

139
Q

obesity Tx

  1. BMI over 35
  2. 30-35
  3. 25-30
A
  1. Sx
  2. drugs
  3. diet/exercise
140
Q

disease associated with obesity

A
  1. HTN: vascular sm. muscle hypertrophy, increase sympathetic tone: vasoconstriction, increase CO
  2. CAD: atherosclerosis (increase LDL)
  3. gallstones: increase turnover/excretion of cholesterol
  4. CA: estrogen, dietary carcinogens, cholesterol turnover increased
  5. HF: increase CO
  6. DM: insulin resistance
  7. sleep apnea
  8. decreased fertility
  9. psychosocial
141
Q

polyglandular autoimmune syndrome

A

autoimmune destruction of several endocrine glands
humoral and cell mediated immune mechanisms
ex: adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism
