atherosclerosis, stroke, hypertension
glucocorticoids do what to prostiglandins?
they decrease them thereby getting an ELEVATION OF BP
hydrocortisone can be taken?
orally or IV right into the joints
cortison negative feedback loop
effects the hypothalamus and pituitary in order to inhibit productions of cytokines like IL1/2/6 and TNF-a to stop an acute organ rejection
why would you give hydrocortison IV
because then the 11-b hydroxysteroid cnt convert it to cortisone and it can be used to activate mineralcorticoid receptors in the case that someone has hypotension - acute insufficiency of aldosterone
a type of chronic adrenal insufficiency
addisons disease
TX for addissons disease
it is a chronic adrenal insufficiency. You want to give somethign to increase the levels of mineralcorticoids instead of glucocorticoids so give FLUDROCORTISONE
congenital adrenal hyperplasia
can be when the 21beta-hydroxylase enzyme is missing so cortisol can not do negative feedback because it is not created and thus increased ACTH and increased sex hormones
Cushings syndrome
instance of producing more cortisol regardless of function. can be due to ACTH or anything
Cushings Disease
Tumor in the pituitary that causes an excess of ACTH which increases Cortisol levels
how to distinguish between cushings syndrome and disease
Dexamethasone suppression test - if the levels are supressed you have cushing DISEASE
excessive levels of cotrisol by drugs or by cushings can lead to:
osteroperosis and cataracts.
mitotane
- of adrenocortical steroids
ONLY DIRECT CYTOTOXIC EFFECT to kill cells int he adrenal cortex.
aminoglutethimide
inhibitor of adrenocortical steroids
blocks the CYP450 or 11B-hydroxylase in order to inhibit levels of cortisol in cushings syndrome
Ketoconazole
inhibitor of adrenocortical steroids

used as an antifungal but in high doses can block the 17hydroxylase enzyme which blocks pregnenolone to 17 hydroxypregnenelone which is used to make cortisol. This does NOT affect the aldosterone pathway so it is te BEST for Cushings DISEASE
Trilostane
inhibitor of adrenocortical steroids

inhibits the 3B dehydrogenase to treat cushings syndrome
metyrapone
inhibitor of adrenocortical steroids

inhibits 11B-hydroxylase but is not as good as the rest to stop production of aldosterone or cortisol
restictive lung disease
reduction in lung volumes with a normal FEV1/FVC ratio
obstructive lung disease
reduction in expiratory flow rates manifested by a reduced FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio
what we use to measure airway hyperresponsiveness (asthma)
Methacholine challenge test...If FEV1 drops 20% it is considered a hyperresponsive effect
T cell associated with delayed type hypersenesitive
TH1, more the people who have been exposed to things in the past (3rd world)
T-cell associated with allergic inflammation
TH2, westerners who have all these allergies
Short (fast) acting beta-2 agonists (3)
albuterol, metaproterenol, terbutaline

These are used to help with asthma. they are good for rescue
Albuterol
a Beta 2 agonist that can cause rapid bronchodilation in those who have asthma. But can develop tolerance quickly and inhalation is the best route with teh least side effects
Long-acting beta-2 agonists (2)
come from epinephrine and isoproterenol. They are SALMETEROL AND FORMOTEROL

Used for asthma but are not as effective against the inflammation as the short acting. Plus these ones are more life threatening
Beta Agonist side effects
cardiac problems, tremor, hypokalemia, and HYPOXEMIA - give oxygen to those patients
Levelbuterol
used for asthma and it is more specific because it has the R isomer instead of the S isomer which is less effective
theophylline

S.E.
a bronchodilater that is an antagonist of adenosine.Has anti-inflammatroy effects and also suprresses permeability edema and is ONLY AVAILABLE ORALLY

S.E. LIVER PROBLEM
aminophylline
a type of theophylline used for asthma but it is not pure but can be given IV
theophylline efects P450 and increases the levels of these drugs (5)
cimetidine, erthromycin, ciprofloxicin, allopurinol, propranolol
both theophylline and beta agonists stimulate...
cAMP
Most effective in COPD
Ipratropium Bromide (Atrovan) which is an anti-cholinergic
Ipratropim Bromide, tiatropium
Atrovan. It is a non selective anti-cholinergic agentwith a slow duration fo action and used to reverse bronchoconstriction to help asthma and COPD
Atropine
An anticholinergic but is not used as much because it is a tertiary ammonum and rapidly absobered if used for asthma to cause tachycardia
why do you use ipratropium Bromide to help with asthma instead of Atropine if both are anti-cholinergics?
Ipratropium Bromide is a quarternary ammonia as oppossed to teh tertiary atropine so it is less absorbed and has less adverse effects
most potent anti-inflammatory agents
corticosteroids
if you are giving some1 with status asthmaticus beta agonists, what else should u give to make them more responsive?
glucocorticoids such as methyl-prednisolone
method of administration for corticosteroids for use with asthma
inhaled or topical because they have less side effects than when given orally
corticosteroids used for asthma (6)

S.E.
Beclomethasone, triamcinolone, diflusinide, flucticasone, budesonide, mometasone fluroate

local side effects like oral thrush, dysphnoia and worsened asthma
problem with corticosteroids in asthma (not side effects)
they have a delayed effect so do not use them for rescue therapy
Side effects of taking oral corticosteroids
adrenal suppression, cataracts, hip necrosis, glucose intolerance
Side effects of inhaled corticosteroids
mostly local, coughing, oral thrust, weight gain, osteoperosis
anti-leukotrien used for asthma (3) in patients who have ASPIRIN SENSITIVITY
montelukast and only needs to be taken once a day

Safirlukast, zileutin need to be taken several times a day and are more dangerous
Cromolyn
used against asthma. is a prophylactic insoluble salt.

It STABILIZES mast cell degranulation and work better on young adults. It is specific for IfE and mast cells.

Pre-treat with this and you block both DELAYED AND IMMEDIATE REACTIONS

side effects of hoarseness and sore throat
Nedocromil
used against asthma. is a prophylactic insoluble salt.

It STABILIZES mast cell degranulation and work better on young adults. It is specific for IfE and mast cells.

Pre-treat with this and you block both DELAYED AND IMMEDIATE REACTIONS

side effects of hoarseness and sore throat
Omalizumab
monoclonal antibodies used to help astma. an IgG monoclonal antibody, for anti-IgE. not anaphylactogonic and decreases free IgE

Taken SUBCUTANEOUSLY
Infleximab
a monoclonal antibody that is used for astma becuse it TBF-a reducer
Which thyroid hormone is more avidly bound and thus has a longer 1/2 life
T4
which thyroid hormone is moreactive?
T3
deficiency of thyroid hormone in fetus is
creatinism
hypothyroidism is associated with
HASHIMOTOS THYROIDITIS

hypercholesterolemia and cold intolerance and myxedema coma.

Can treat with replacement therapy of T4 which is levothyroxine
Levothyroxine
analog of T4 and used to treat hypothyroidism associated with hashimotos thyrdoiditis
liothyronine
analog of T3 and used in more serious hypothyroidism associated with myxedema coma
usual cause of hyperthyroidism
graves disease which stimulates TSH and constant stimulation of thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion
tx: for hyperthyroidism/graves
the thiourea deriviatives: propylthiouracil and methimazole.

they INHIBIT THYROID PEROXIDASE
Which thiourea derivat do you give ina preagnant woman?
propylthiouracil because it doesnt cross the placenta as well as methimazole
this thiourea derivated also inhibits 5'-deiodinase as well as thyroid peroxidase
propylthiouracil. By inhibiting this enzyme it stops the conversion of T4 to T3
which thiourea is more potent?
methimazole is more potent than propylthiouracil
side effects of methimazole and propylthiouracil which are thiourea
agranulocytises
high-dose iodide
effects take place in 24 hours. it inhibits the release of TSH so you have less thyroid hormone being released

USED FOR THYROID STORM.
radioactive iodide
corrects hyperthyroidism. allows u to kill thyroid without affecting parahtyroid.
