uworld incorrect 4 Flashcards
(40 cards)
what kind of mutation caused in lysch nyhan
activating mutations involving phosphoribosyl
how does colichine act on neutrophils
decreases tyrosine phosphrylation decreasing neutrophil activation and also prevents microtubbule polymerization
what sort of chest is seen in cystic fibrosis
barrel shaped chest
what is diffference between dna polymerase 1 and 3
1 removes rna primer replaces it withdna. 3
what is sympathia opthalmia
when eye injured self antigens released=autoimmune reaction
which body parts have immune privilge
testis and eyes
immune privilge
ack of lymphatics, low expression of MHC class Ia); t
explain pathogenis of sympathy opthamia
Self-antigens located in immune-privileged sites can be recognized by T cells that escape negative selection in the thymus. Therefore, if these self-antigens are released into the lymphatic system as a result of trauma, T cells may recognize these self-antigens as foreign and mount a response in both the injured eye and the contralateral eye
function of dnase
degrades dna in pus helping spread of orgasm
possible diagnosis if staph aureus in urine
If S. aureus is cultured from the urine you should suspect a metastatic infection from another location in the body (an abscess or infective endocarditis etc.)
jc virus clinical px
Hemiparesis, visual field defects+cognitive impairemtn
how is cmv transmitted how to prevent it and what other cases u see cmv
CMV can be acquired during the transfusion of leukocyte-laden blood products, as the virus infects leukocytes of granulocyte-macrophage lineage
HSv 6, HIV and toxo
why lipohilic drugs require loading dose
they distribute into fat
dosing how it varies with weight
dosing based on body weight=for narrow therapeutic index
it affects Vd/clearence
lean mass increases vd high
obesity causes disporptional increase in adipose therefore variable effect
aminoglycosides have minimal plasma protein binding and can distribute extensively into the interstitial compartment.
causes of serum sickness? symotoms? time?
Monoclonal Ab, nonhuman Ig, penicillin, cefaclor, TMP/SMX
Fever, pruritic skin rash, arthralgias 7- 14 days after exposure (takes time to make
how does serum sickness cause neutropenia
c5a acts as a chemotaxin
anticholinergics, sympathomimetics, dopaminergic antagonists, diuretics how they mess up with heat regulation
Anticholinergics (eg, amitriptyline, scopolamine) inhibit diaphoresis, limiting the body’s primary mechanism of heat dissipation.
Sympathomimetics (eg, amphetamines, cocaine) impair peripheral vasodilation, limiting heat transfer to the skin (Choice E).
Dopaminergic antagonists (eg, chlorpromazine, haloperidol) disrupt hypothalamic thermoregulation, likely by blocking dopamine transmission in the hypothalamus (Choice C).
Diuretics (eg, furosemide) and beta blockers (eg, metoprolol) limit the cardiac response to heat stress by reducing blood volume or heart rate, thereby decreasing blood
chagas disease explain acute vs chronic
acute chagas
-circulating trypomastig pts assymotmatic, nonspecific symotoms, inflmmation of eyes
chronic phase-elimination=resolution
assmotmatic chronic infection serology+ but no paraseitemia
complication of chagas-BIventricular HF+aneurysm
does urea have a tmax
urea has no tmax since its passively reabsorbed
which joint is involved in hemochromatosis
econd and third metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint
osteoarthritis involves which joint
proximal and distal interphalangeal joints and the first carpometacarpal joint
moa of e6 and e7 in hpv virus cancwer formation
Ubiquitination of the E6-p53 complex induces degradation of p53, leading to unregulated cellular growth.
Define dermatoform herpes histo
microabscesses containing fibrin and neutrophils at the dermal papillae tips
explain pathogenesis of herpes demetoformis
iadin is deaminated by tissue transglutaminase in a process involving formation of covalent crosslinks between the twoubsequent immune response against gliadin also targets tissue transglutaminase, leading to the production of IgA and IgG tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies.
