a crazy RA lady overdoses on her gold Rx. what do you use to treat
dimercaprol
three drugs used in RA (not NSAIDS or anti TNF agents)
gold
D penicillamine
MTX
name the anti TNF agents
thalidomide
pentoxyfilline
infliximab
etanercept
also adalimumab
highly teratogenic drug solely in leprosy, HIV skin lesions, and multiple myeloma
thalidomide
how do steroids reduce inflamamtion
inhibits phospholipase A2 so you don't get arachidonic acid = no PGs
this drug is used in acute alcoholic hepatitis to reduce inflammation
pentoxyfilline
monoclonal AB against TNF
infliximab

adalimumab
how does etanercept work
recombinant TNF receptor...binds up TNF in blood, so it reduces inflammation
(ercept for receptor_
what 4 dz states do we see psammomma bodies in?
PSaMMoma mneumonic
papillary (thyroid adenocarcinoma)
serous (ovary papillary cystadenocarcinoma)

DOC for acute gouty attack
colchicine
MOA of allopurinol....what dz is it used for
gout

inhibits xanthine oxidase = cannot form uric acid
uricosuric drug used to treat chronic gout
probenecid

in high doses it blocks tubular reabsorption of uric acid to cause greater uric acid excretion
NSAIDS used to treat gout, but which NSAID should we never used
ASA

bc it competes w uric acid at renal transporters in PCT and will worsen gout Sx

this enzyme is used by lysosomes all over the body to break down glycogen. thus all orgrans affected, mm hypotonia, cardiac failure and death by 2 yo
