(MICHELLE'S VERSION) QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT RATED A+
NEWLY UPDATED 2025
Celiac Disease
✔✔ * The small intestine reacts to gluten as if it were a harmful substance.
✔✔ * Diagnosis involves testing for IgA-tTG antibodies and checking total IgA
levels.
Sjögren's Syndrome
✔✔ * Commonly seen in older women and individuals with conditions like
rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
✔✔ * Autoimmune disease marked by dry eyes and dry mouth.
✔✔ * Diagnosed through positive SSA and SSB antibody tests.
Cinnamon Effects
✔✔ * Helps reduce blood glucose by mimicking insulin at the cellular level.
✔✔ * Supports lowering cholesterol levels.
✔✔ * May contribute to reduced blood pressure.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
✔✔ * A congenital defect affecting blood flow due to an underdeveloped left side
of the heart.
✔✔ * Stage I surgery offers 70% survival at 3–5 years; survival exceeds 90% after
12 months.
✔✔ * Diagnosed via echocardiogram; treated with surgery.
✔✔ * Symptoms include rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, feeding issues, cold
or bluish skin, and weakness.
,✔✔ * Left ventricle, mitral valve, aortic valve, ascending aorta are
underdeveloped, with an atrial septal defect often present.
✔✔ * In the first days of life, the right side of the heart compensates. Blood flow is
supported by a patent ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale during this time.
Parathyroid Function - ANSWER✔✔Produce Parathyroid Hormone and regulate
Serum Calcium (Ca+)
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome - ANSWER✔✔* Progressive genetic
disorder causing child to age 10x faster than normal
* Caused by defective LMNA making protein Progerin
* S/S: short, slow growth, slow hair growth, 2 year tooth delay, wrinkles, dry skin
* Tx: NSAIDS, Statins, bone health, physical therapy
Diabetic Neuropathy Pain Meds - ANSWER✔✔Cymbalta
Lyrica
Neurontin
Hydrotherapy - ANSWER✔✔Helps with neurological and musculoskeletal
diseases. Especially Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Myasthenia Gravis (MG)
Decreased Lung Sounds Post Trauma (cause and tx) - ANSWER✔✔* Most likely
caused by pneumonthorax (air leaks between lungs and chest wall from blunt or
penetrating chest injury)
* May do needle compression or chest tube
, Rifampin - ANSWER✔✔* Abx
* Affects oral birth control making it not work.
TSH Lab Levels and Indications - ANSWER✔✔* TSH normal range 0.4 - 4.0
* High TSH = HYPOthyroid
* Low TSH = HYPERthyroid
T4 Lab Levels, Indications and Tx - ANSWER✔✔* T4 normal range 5.0 - 12
* High T4 = HYPERthyroid
* Low T4 = Hypothyroid, thyroiditis or toxic multinodular goiter
* Tx: PTU (Propylthiuracil) & Methimazole (Tapazole)
T3 Lab Levels, Indications and Tx - ANSWER✔✔* T3 normal range 80 - 220
* High T3 = HYPERthyroid
* Low T3 = HYPOthyroid
* Can be caused from long term illness
* Tx: Levothyroxine on empty stomach to increase absorption
