QuestionAnswer
What cells are involved in Myelogenous leukemia? What are the functions of these cells? a. Thrombocytes- clotting b. rbc- transport oxygen c. macrophages- phagocytes in the tissues d. eosinophils- go up in an allergic response or a parasitic infection e. neutrophils- phagocytic, extracellular bacterial infections

How is blood volume regulated in terms of RAAS? a. Adh- pulls water b. Aldosterone-pulls water to make sodium follow
How is blood pressure regulated in terms of RAAS?(which two functions of angiotensin 2  increase bp) a. Sns activity- increasing blood flow to increase resistance b. Vasoconstriction-narrowed tubes with the same amount of flow causes more restriction
How does angiotensin 2 get made? The liver makes angiotensinogen which is converted by renin from the kidneys into angiotensin 1 which is converted by ace from the lungs into angiotensin 2

How do we treat pneumonia? a. Antibiotic for appropriate gram stain b. Supplemental oxygen c. Deep breathing d. Help produce a cough through cpt or spirometer
What is type one DM? a. Autoimmunity b. Deficiency of insulin, the body has made antibodies to the pancreas (beta) cells, destroying the part that makes insulin
What are manifestations of type one DM before diagnosis and type two DM? a. Polyuria, excessive hunger (cells think they are starving from lack of glucose), dehydration, excessive thirst, loss of consciousness, fatigue b. Type one has weight loss due to the burning of fat c. Type two weight gain
How do we diagnose type one DM? a. Random glucose (nr<200) b. Fasting glucose (nr 70-120) c. A1C ( nr<6.5%) d. Glucose tolerance (nr after one hour  <160, after 2 <120) e. Urinalysis f. Serologic test for ab the pancreas cells
How do we diagnose type two DM? a. Random glucose b. Fasting glucose c. A1C d. Glucose tolerance e. Urinalysis
How do we treat type one DM? Insulin
How do we treat type two DM? Glycemic agents
What are the three types of insulin? a. Short acting- 15-30min, taken before a meal b. Intermediate- last 12hrs, taken to maintain levels between meals c. Long acting-  last 18-24 hours, maintains levels at night
What are the types of oral glycemic? Metformin Glyposide Acarbos Januvia Jardiance Rosidglitizone
What is Dawn phenomenon? Hyperglycemia without hypoglycemia in the morning(2-8am), flight or fight causes the body to make glucose when sleeping since we aren’t eating
What is the symogyi effect? Rebound hyperglycemia after hypoglycemia because the body overcompensates
What is DKA? a. Diabetic Ketoacidosis from a lack of glucose the body breaks down fats to use ketones as energy. The brain can’t store ketones so they turn into ketoic acid. b. The blood glucose is >250, acidosis, fruity or acetone breathe, kussmauls
What is HHNK? a. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic noketoic   b. Profound dehydration c. The blood glucose is >600 glucose, thick blood
Explain what the difference between a thrombotic and an embolic stroke is. a. Thrombotic and embolic are both clots b. Thrombotic comes from the brain c. Embolic comes from somewhere else to the brain
What is a hemorrhagic stroke? a. A bleed in the brain
What is the significance of a Transient Ischemic Attack verses a CardioVascular Accident? a. TIA is a precursor and CVA is the stoke b. If you get a TIA within 2 years you will have a CVA
What are manifestations of stroke? Hemiparesis (numbness on one side), vision loss, dizziness, ataxia (lack of coordination), aphasias (inability to communicate ex. Slurred speech or nonsense). Depends on the location
How is a stroke diagnoses? Physical exam, low blood pressure <100/<60
How do we treat a stroke? Reduce cerebral edema, rehabilitation
What cell is affected in Brutons disease? B cells
What cell is affected in Di Georges disease? T cells
What cell is affected in SCID? Both t and b cells
What is the patho of fragile x syndrome? Defect in FMRP key regulator in mRNA translation, Inheritable mental retardation
What are the manifestations of fragile x syndrome? Distinctive facial features: long face, large ears, mental retardation, and cognitive impairment
What is the diagnosis of fragile x syndrome? Genetic screening
How is fragile x syndrome treated? Drugs to manage mental status, behavior and educational management.
How is fragile x syndrome inherited? a. X- linked dominant b. If a female or male inherited it they will express

Compare and contrast hypovolemia and hypervolemia. a. Hypovolemia is dec fluids and concentrations b. Hypervolemia is inc fluids and dilution
Compare and contrast left and right side heart failure. a. Left side is congestive, it backs up into the lungs and causes pulmonary edema b. Right side backs up into the vena cava’s and causes peripheral edema, ascites fluid in the peritoneal cavity
