Q&A 100% CORRECT
⩥ narrow based budding yeast cells and bright red capsules with
mucicarmine or periodic acid schiff staining. Answer: cryptococcus
neoformans
⩥ ragged red fibers. Answer: mitochondrial myopathies
⩥ mitochondrial myopathy s&s. Answer: proximal muscle weakness
ragged red fibers on muscle biopsy
FHz
mitochondrial crystalline in electron microscopy
muscle pain fatigue exercise intolerance increased CK
neuro- opthalmoplegia
seizures myoclonus peripheral neuropathy
,⩥ mitochondrial myopathy. Answer: —rare disorders; often present with
myopathy, lactic acidosis, and CNS disease, eg, MELAS syndrome
(mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like
episodes). 2° to failure in oxidative phosphorylation. Muscle biopsy
often shows "ragged red fibers" (due to accumulation of diseased
mitochondria in the subsarcolemma of the muscle fiber).
⩥ sarcoplasmic reticular inclusion. Answer: sarcoplasmic body
myopathy
⩥ Yellow Fever. Answer: acute self resolving syndrome
follow a course that includes an asymptomatic period while the
infectious agent is reproduced followd by a symptomatic period that
peaks then improves with resolution of the infection
⩥ pudendal nerve. Answer: Supplies sensation to external genitalia and
perineum (external hemorrhoids, below dentate line)
⩥ genitofemoral nerve. Answer: sensation to the anterior scrotum in
male and the anterior thigh
sensory and motor of cremastic reflex
⩥ ilioinguinal nerve. Answer: motor neuron -gluteus maximus
,⩥ sacral splanchnic nerves. Answer: autonomic aspects of urinary GI
and sexual organ within the pelvis
⩥ which nerve is vulnerable to compression ad it courses around the
bony pelvis?. Answer: pudenedal
⩥ Call-Exner bodies. Answer: granulosa cell tumor
⩥ Dysgerminoma. Answer: LDH or hcg : Sheets of uniform cells.
Associated with Turner syndrome
⩥ serous adenocarcinoma. Answer: most common ovarian cancer in
BRCA1 mutation carriers
often present late
abdominal distention
psamoma bodies
⩥ IgA deficiency. Answer: Anaphylaxis following blood transfusion
⩥ Spigelian hernia. Answer: Rare hernia occurring between the
transverse abdominis and rectus muscles
, ⩥ uterosacral ligament. Answer: paired structure that extend bilaterally
from the cervical region to the sacrum helping to support the uterus in
the pelvis
⩥ During a hysterectomy. Answer: uterosacral ligament must be remove
⩥ Lithium Carbonate can cause. Answer: nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
inhibition of cAMP -mediated process in collecting duct
⩥ nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Answer: Impaired renal response to
ADH
lithium impaired ability of the collecting tubule to reclaim free water by
interfering with the pathway of ADH
patients typically present with polydipsia polyuria hyperosmolar serum
dilute urine and failure to respond to desmopressin
⩥ pathophysiology of central DI. Answer: decrease ADH secretion
