Study Notes
Gastroenterology and Related Conditions
- Sulfasalazine: Medication for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
- Chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis are pulmonary effects associated with cystic fibrosis (CF).
- Osteoporosis primarily affects trabecular (spongy) bone mass.
Pharmacology
- Imipramine: A tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) known for side effects like convulsions, coma, and cardiotoxicity. Anticholinergic effects may cause confusion in the elderly.
- Loratidine: A second-generation H1 blocker that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in reduced sedation.
- Ranitidine: An H2 receptor antagonist used to decrease stomach acid.
- Probenecid: Inhibits uric acid reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule and can precipitate uric acid kidney stones.
- Clomiphene: Infertility drug increasing ovulation; may lead to multiple fetuses.
- Tetra cyclines: Not suitable for children; alternate treatment - Amoxicillin.
Diagnoses and Medical Conditions
- Ectopic gastric tissue appears in Meckel's diverticulum, a remnant of the vitelline duct.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Autoimmune condition where antibodies target thyroid peroxidase or antithyroglobulin, leading to a non-tender enlarged thyroid.
- Sickle Cell Disease complications: Most common cause of cellulitis is staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes.
Immunology
- Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID): Caused by adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency and hypoplastic thymus.
- Myasthenia gravis: Associated with thymoma, presenting symptoms include ptosis, diplopia, and difficulty in chewing.
Endocrinology
- PTH (Parathyroid hormone) is produced by chief cells in the parathyroid gland; it influences calcium and phosphate metabolism.
- Grave's disease antibodies: Detectable as anti-TSH receptor antibodies.
- Addison's disease: Primary adrenal insufficiency due to adrenal destruction.
Reproductive Health
- Human placental lactogen (hPL): Increases insulin resistance during pregnancy; stimulates lipolysis and proteolysis.
- Ergonovine: Used to facilitate placenta delivery and prevent postpartum bleeding.
Bacterial and Viral Infections
- Pseudomonas: Produces blue pigment called pyocyanin.
- Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are the leading causes of cellulitis.
- Trichomonas detection: Utilize nucleic acid amplification tests.
Neurology
- Cerebellopontine angle tumors can cause sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, facial muscle paralysis, and loss of the corneal reflex.
- Spinal trigeminal nucleus: Responsible for sensation (touch, pain, temperature) from the ipsilateral face.
- Tension pneumothorax causes tracheal deviation towards the opposite side.
Cardiology
- Large Q waves indicate a history of old myocardial infarctions.
- Cortical brain infarction may present with loss of all sensations barring proprioception on the affected side.
Miscellaneous
- Cachexia: Mediated by cytokines TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-6.
- Renal viscerosomatic innervation corresponds with T10-11.
- Inhaled anthrax: Characterized by mediastinal widening on chest X-ray.
- SBS compression occurs due to blunt force trauma to the front or back of the head.
