Question
Answer
leading global cause of morbidity and premature death   Undernutrition  
🗑
70% of all child deaths are attributed to only 5 conditions   pneumonia, diarrheals, malaria, measles, perinatal/neonatal problems  
🗑
leading cause of death in developed countries   Ischemic heart and cerebrovasc diseases  
🗑
cherry-red color of skin from high levels of carboxyhemoglobin   CO poisoning  
🗑
Causes brain damage (children)and periph n. demyelination (wrist/foot drop in adults) d/t inhibit neurotransmitters, interferes w normal fracture healing and cartilage remodeling, microcytic/hypochromic anemia (suppress heme synth)   Lead  
🗑
GI, cardio, and CNS probs due to interference w/ mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (replace the phosphates in ATP). Also, skin tumors on palms and soles   Arsenic  
🗑
obstructive lung disease due to necrosis of alveolar macrophages, and kidney damage (tubular damage that may progress to end-stage)   Cadmium  
🗑
most preventable cause of human death   Smoking  
🗑
exposure to vinyl chloride leads to ...   hepatic angiosarcoma  
🗑
thiamine deficiency ->   periph neuropathies and Wernicke-Korsakoff synd (chronic alcoholics)  
🗑
microcephaly, growth retardation, facial abnormalities, and reduced mental func   FAS  
🗑
increases risk of Breast CA and venous thromboembolism, but also has protective effect on development of atherosclerosis and coronary disease in women under age 60   HRT  
🗑
associated with throboembolism and hepatic adenoma, increased risk of MI, reduced risk of endometrial and ovarian CA   Oral Contraceptives  
🗑
inhibits production and release of LH and FSH, and increases amount of estrogens  stunted growth, acne, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy (males) and facial hair, menstrual changes (women)   testosterone in anabolic steroids  
🗑
unconj NAPQI accum->hepatocell injury->centrilobular necrosis and liver fail   Acetaminophen Toxicity - Tx w N-acetylcysteine w/in 12 hrs  
🗑
alkalosis via stimulation of the resp center in medulla, followed by metabolic acidosis and accumulation of pyruvate and lactate, caused by uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and inhibition of Krebs cycle   Acute aspirin OD  
🗑
manifests as headaches, dizzy, tinnitus, confusion, drowsy, nausea/vomit/diarrhea   Chronic aspirin OD  
🗑
sympathomimetic. block dopamine(CNS), epi/norepi(nerve endings) reuptake, w presynap norepi release->excess stim (tachy, HTN, periph vasoconstrict(MI))   Cocaine  
🗑
can cause SUDDEN DEATH from resp depression, arrhythmia/cardiac arrest, and severe pulm edema   Heroin  
🗑
acts by releasing dopamine in the brain, which inhibits presynaptic neurotransmission at corticostriatal synapses->slows glutamate release. euphoria to crash, long term: violent, paranoid, hallucinations   Meth  
🗑
causes an increase in serotonin release in CNS, coupled w/ interference in serotonin synth->reduced serotonin   MDMA (ecstasy)  
🗑
Burn sites are ideal for growth of   P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, Candida

white or charred, dry, anesthetic (due to destroyed nerve endings)   Full thickness burns  
🗑
pink with blisters and painful   Partial thickness burns  
🗑
affects somatic compartment of proteins in skeletal muscle   Marasmus  
🗑
protein deprivation is greater than reduction in total cal, affects the visceral compartment of proteins in organs (liver), hypoalbuminemia->edema, flaky paint skin, loss of hair color, enlarged fatty liver   Kwashiorkor
