arsenic poisoning causes what type of diarrhea?
|
rice water, similar to cholera
|
|
what does the skin look like after arsenic poisoning?
|
gray skin with dark macules
|
|
arsenic poisoning causes what to the kidneys?
|
ATN involving proximal tubules
|
|
what is the treatment for arsenic poisoning?
|
dimercaprol
|
|
what does mushroom poisoning inhibit?
|
inhibits RNA polymerase
|
|
what are symptoms of mushroom poisoning?
|
abdominal pain/vomiting, bloody diarrhea, jaundice, extensive fatty change
|
|
what are symptoms of petroleum product disorders?
|
euphoria (drunk acting) when inhaled or ingested. toxic doses cause convulsions, tinnitus, pulmonary edema
|
|
what is strychnine poisoning?
|
CNA stimulant that blocks postynaptic inhibition. it's similar to tetanus. it causes convulsions, opishotonus, risus sardonicus, death
|
|
perfusion defect
|
pulmonary embolus
no perfusion, only ventilation increase in dead space if give 100% Oxygen, get the PO2 up |
|
ventilation defect
|
give 100% oxygen, PO2 doesn't go up.
then you have a shunt |
|
diffusion defect
|
something in interface like fibrosis/sarcoidosis/pulmonary edema/fluid in heart failure
oxygen can't get through. |
|
active J(jerk) receptor
|
get dyspnea. can't take full breath because you have fluid in interstitium of lung, irritating J receptor
|
|
what produces hypoxemia?
|
ventilation defect, perfusion defect, diffusion defect, J receptor activation
|
|
what is hypoxemia?
|
decreased PO2
|
|
what is anemia
|
PO2 is normal. Oxygen saturation is normal. What is decreased? hemoglobin. still have normal respiration.
|
|
both carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning occur in
|
house fire
|
|
carbon monoxide poisoning
|
oxygen saturation decreased. treat with 100% oxygen
|
|
cyanosis
|
a decrease in oxygen saturation
|
|
carbon monoxide poisoning symptom
|
headache
|
|
methemoglobin poisoning
|
Fe+3. oxygen can't bind. oxygen saturation decreased.
|
|
methemoglobin blood drawn looks like
|
chocolate
|
|
dude coming out of rocky mountains, he was cyanotic, given 100% oxygen, still cyanotic
|
drinking water in rocky mountains, loaded with nitrates/nitrates (oxidizing agents) --> oxidize hemoglobin so that it's Fe+3 instead of +2. oxygen didn't correct cyanosis. so it was probably methemoglobin
|
|
how to treat methemoglobin
|
IV methylene blue + vitamin C (reducing agent)
|
|
datsone is used for
|
leprosy
|
|
sulfa and nitro drugs do 2 things
|
1. produce methemoglobin
2. have potential of GP6D and hemolysis oxidizing agents cause increase in peroxide, which destroys RBC. |
|
methemoglobinemia in HIV. why?
|
because they're on sulfa drugs
|
|
what type of oxygen curve do you want?
|
right shifted, so that it reduces oxygen to tissue
|
|
what happens in high altitude?
|
you have to hyperventilate, and right shift curve. that's how you get oxygen up there
|
|
CO causes decreased oxygen saturation and
|
left shifted oxygen dissociation curve
|
|
cytochrome oxidase
|
last enzyme before transferring electron to oxygen
|
|
cytochrome oxidase, cyanide, carbon monoxide
|
inhibit cytochrome oxidase
|
|
methemoglobin causes what shift?
|
left
|
|
what does CO block besides oxygen?
|
blocks cytochrome oxidase. no electron goes to the oxygen. the whole system shuts down
|
|
uncoupling
|
ability of inner mitochondrial membrane to synthesize ATP.
|
|
what is dinitrylphenol?
|
uncoupling agent so that protons go right through membrane
|
|
what are uncoupling agents that let protons go right through the mitochondrial membrane? (not cool...draining off all of the protons without much ATP.)
|
salicylates, dinitrylphenol (preserves wood), alcohol,
|
|
what happens from draining protons caused by uncoupling agents?
|
any reactiont hat makes NADH and FADH gets revved up to make more protons. if you increase the rate of the chemical reaction, temperature goes up --> hyperthermia
|
|
salicylate toxicity
|
hyperthermia because it's an uncoupling agent
|
|
alcoholic on a hot day
|
develops heat stroke. very susceptible because mitochondria are already screwed up
|
|
what produces tissue hypoxia?
|
ischemia, hypoxemia, hemoglobin related things, uncoupling agents. absolute key things on boards
|
|
respiratory acidosis. what happens to hemoglobin?
|
nothing.
oxygen saturation = decrease it because PO2 is decreased. partial pressure of oxygen = decrease it |
|
anemia
|
hemoglobin is affected, but nothing else
|
|
methemoglobin
|
oxygen saturation affected
PO2 = no effect |
|
what happens when you have decrease in ATP?
|
hypoxemia
anaerobic glycolysis-->lactic acid |
|
what cells can do anaerobic glycosis?
|
any cell, including RBCs.
if no oxygen at end of electron transport system, then you get 2 ATP from anerobic glycolysis, but you get a buildup of lactic cid |
|
coagulation necrosis
|
tissue hypoxia --> causes coagulation necrosis (infarction). it's caused by a buildup of lactic acid in a cell
|
|
when lack ATP, all ATPase pumps are screwed up because
|
they run on ATP. so Na goes into cell and causes swollen cells.
|
|
what drug blocks NaK pump?
|
digitalis. so that Na goes into cardiac muscle to open Ca to increase force of contraction
|
|
tissue hypoxia will cause tissue to swell up because
|
Na goes into cell (irriversible)
|
|
mature RBC energy source is
|
anaerobic glycolysis
|
|
what happens to Ca in tissue hypoxia?
|
it enters cells via CaATPase pump. ATPase decreases, so Ca has easy access to cell. When it's in the cell, it activates phospholipases (damages cell membrane) and causes nuclear chromatin disappearance.
|
|
what happens when Ca goes into mitochondria?
|
destroys it.
|
|
hypercalcemia causes
|
acute pancreatitis because it activates enzymes in pancreas. it does the same thing in cells
|
|
Ca most destroys what?
|
cell membrane, irriversable damage
|
|
what is lipofucin?
|
wear and tear in old people. when you have free radical damage, the end product is lipofucin. lipofucin is lipids that you can't break down all the way
|
|
what is free radical?
|
unpaired electron in outer orbit
|
|
RDS
|
oxygen related free radical injury such as retinopathy of prematurity, damage to lungs (fibrosis in lungs)
