1. Why would bordatella pertusis, a bacteria, stimulate lymphocye recruitment?
2. Other than renal cell carcinoma, what other cancers have EPO as a paraneoplastic syndrome? (2) 3. What first component to the DIC cascase? |
1. exotoxin stimulates lymphocytes to respond
2. hemangioma, hepatocellular carcinoma 3. TF exposure |
|
1. Why does bordatella stimulate hypoglycemia?
2. Why does Acetazolamide cause NH3 toxicity? 3. For cryin' out loud, what does omeprazole work on? What has a compensatory increase when you use it? |
1. exotoxin stimulates the islets of langerhaans
2. Becaues NH4+ can sub for H+ on Na+/H+. AC blocks this and NH3 builds up (see sheet) 3. Works on K/H+ pump; compensatory increase in gastrin |
|

|
1. DOC for Lead toxicity?
2. What is the function of the Cori cycle? 3. Which cell type will be MOST PROMINENT in a +PPD skin test area? |
1. EDTA (or succimer)
2. Takes lactate building up in the muscles and sends it to the liver to make new glucose (gluconeogenesis) 3. Macrophage (antigen presenting cells) |
|
1. DOC for mercury toxicity?
2. What is the triad for Wiskott Aldridge Syndrome? 3. Where is functional dead space more likely to be located? |
1. Dimercaperol
2. wasTER: Thrombocytopenia, Ezcema, Recurrent URIs 3. Lung apices |
|
1. Compare the venous area supplied by the great saphenous vein and the short saphenous vein? Where do each drain lymphatically?
2. What is the function of Ki-67 staining? 3. How is arterial O2 saturation curve affected by altitude? |
1. great saph: medial side of leg/drains to inguinal nodes; short saph: lateral side of leg/drains to popliteal nodes
2. Gives information about RATE of proliferation 3. shifts curve to the right so lower O2 sat (more being unloaded) |
|

|
1. What is the function of the nitroblue tetrazolium test?
2. What is the molecular defect in Bruton's Agammaglobinemia? 3. What is the RecA bacterial gene responsible for? |
1. looks for reactive O2 species to r/o NADPH deficiency from Chronic Granulomatous Disease
2. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) 3. Homologous recombination |
|
1. What is the difference between an F+ and an Hfr bacterial cell?
2. The Ret oncogene is associated with what conditions? 3. Diagnose: 60 year with ripping pain radiating to the back that eventually moves towards the flanks? |

1. thalassemias and sickle cell
2. pressure moves away dilatory metabolites causing eventually permanent closure. 3. aneurysm: atherosclerosis, dissection: hypertension |
|
1. What are Downey cells and what are they indicative of?
