Question
Answer
Diseases a/w Collagen deficits   scurvy (Vit C deficiency); Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; Osteogenesis Imperfecta  
🗑
disease w/ elastin/fibrillin deficit   Marfan syncrome  
🗑
vascular transmigration; facilitated by PECAM-1   diapedesis  
🗑
vascular dilation esp arterioles; increase vascular permeability esp venules   histamine  
🗑
increase vascular permeability   serotonin  
🗑
release arachidonic acid from lipid membrane of cells; release PAF from lipid membrane of cells   PLA2  
🗑
indcues platelet agreggation; induce neutrophil oxidative burst; induce arachidonic acid production by activating PLA2; induces leukocyte-endothelial adhesion   Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)  
🗑
secreted by NK cells; plays the predominant role in macrphage activation (esp in relation to granuloma formation)   interferon gamma (INF-y)  
🗑
stimulate neutrophil adhesion   leukotrienes  
🗑
exert an inhibitory effect on many inflammation processes   lipoxins  
🗑
elevated ESR   RBCs clump because of the increase of acute phase proteins esp fibrinogen  
🗑
occurs when injurious agent or forgein material cannot be eradicated & body switches to a strategy of containment   Chronic Suppurative inflammation  
🗑
chronic macrophage activation causes macrophages to swell and take on an epitheloid cell appearance   Granulomatous inflammation  
🗑
most common cause of MV stenosis?   Rheumatic heart disease  
🗑
most common cause of MV regurgitation?   papillary dysfunctino due to ischemic heart dis or Mitral valve prolapse due to myxomatous degenration of the MV  
🗑
most common cause of aortic valve stenosis?   congenital bicuspid aortic valve & senile fibrocalcific degeneration  
🗑
most common cause of myocarditis?   Coxsackie B & Adenovirus type 2 & 3  
🗑
mitral valve stenosis triad?   1) loud S1; 2) mitral valve opening snap; 3) mid-distolic murmur best heard @ cardiac apcex  
🗑
primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a/w mutations in the???   myosin heavy beta chain; actin; tropomyosin; titin  
🗑
where do we see WHORLED PATTERN in the myocardial muscle bundles?   Primary Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy  
🗑
pulmonary circulation maintained by Right Atrium   Fontan heart (seen in Arrhythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy)  
🗑
repalcemnt of portions of the myocardial wall, usually the RV by fibrofatty tissue w/ loss of cardiocytes; show interved T waves in anterior chest leads over R ventricle and epsilon wave in early ST segment; only effective Tx: defibrillator implantation   Arrythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy  
🗑
Where is S3, S4 & S7 present?   Congestive Heart Failure  
🗑
difficulty in repolarization leads to uncoordinated repolarization which predisposes to episodes of spontaenous ventricular re-entry arrythmias sep Torsade de Pointes   Long QT syndrome  
🗑
compensatory mechanism of cells incapable of cell division   hypertrophy  
🗑
organs where fatty change (steatosis) is common?   liver, myocardiumk kidney  
🗑
enzymatically binds to damaged proteins to facilitate their removal   ubiquitin  
🗑
proteins involved in apoptosis also involved in tumoregenesis   bcl2 & p53  
🗑
adult progeria; autosomal recessive; defective DNA helicase enzymes   Werner Syndrome  
🗑
pediatric progeria   Cockayne syndrome  
🗑
Connective tissue disorder; autosomal recessive   Acrogeria  
🗑
help regulate the clotthing cascade   alpha-2-antiplasmin  
🗑
inhibits the initiation of complement cascade   c1 esterase inhibitor  
🗑
neutralize reactive oxygen radicals   Metal binding protein (manganese superoxide dismutase)  
🗑
increased levels of bone marrow granulopoiesis; cytoplasmic areas of condensed ribosomes   Dohle bodies  
🗑
valve most likely involved in IVDA related Infective endocarditis   Tricuspid valve  
🗑
Infective Endocarditis where pahents have NO structural disease and NO preexisting heart murmur   community acquired ACUTE IE  
🗑

🗑
fibrointimal proliferation creating 'onion skin' appearache; commonly located in kidnyes   hyperplastic arteriosclerosis  
🗑
higher lipid content of lipid core; thinner fibrous cap; increased leukocyte activity at shoulder regions of plaque   vulnerable plaque  
🗑
due to reoxygenation in reversible cardiocyte injury which causes extreme contraction of the cardiocyte filaments   contraction band necrosis 'rigor bands'  
🗑
retina may demonstrate orange-yellow plaque at bifurcation of vessels   Hollenhurst plaque (seen in cholesterol embolization syndrome)  
🗑
red-blue skin momttling in reticular (net-like) pattern over distal extremities due to blood flow stasis   cutaneous livedo reticularis  
🗑
chronic hypoxia due to chronic respiratory insufficiency due to inhibition of respiratory movement from obesity   Pickwickian syndrome  
🗑
