Flashcards
Neutropenia
Neutropenia
A decrease in the number of neutrophils in the blood, often caused by medications like corticosteroids.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
A group of disorders characterized by ineffective blood cell production, leading to low red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjogren's Syndrome
Acquired neutropenia is a decrease in neutrophils caused by factors other than inherited conditions or medications. Sjogren's syndrome is an example.

Study Notes
Blood Disorders
- Neutropenia can occur as a consequence of using corticosteroids
- In myelodysplastic syndrome, there is leukopenia and thrombocytopenia
- Acquired neutropenia can be registered in patients with Sjogren's syndrome
- Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms include polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, and others
- Acute leukemias are characterized by interruption in maturation (maturation arrest)
- The characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia is the presence of Philadelphia chromosome
- Agranulocytosis is a condition characterized by a neutrophil count lower than 0.5 × 10^9/L
Treatment and Diagnosis
- Therapeutic splenectomy is used in the treatment of patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Therapeutic plasmapheresis is applied during treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Endocrine System
- Clinical manifestations of acromegaly include enlargement of acral body parts (nose, ears, feet, hands)
- The most common tumor of the pituitary gland is adenoma
- In medullary thyroid cancer, calcitonin is elevated
- Clinical signs of myxedema coma include decreased mental function, hypoventilation, hypothermia, and bradycardia
- A characteristic ECG finding in hypothyroidism is low voltage and sinus bradycardia
Adrenal Glands
- Clinical manifestations of hypocorticism include hypotension, shock, hypoglycemia, vomiting, and fatigue
- Primary hyperaldosteronism is characterized by suppressed renin, elevated aldosterone, diastolic hypertension, and hypokalemia
