pyruvate carboxylase

Pyruvate carboxylase - the problem is that she is hypoglycemia and then with an infusion w/ glucose, it helps. - So the problem, is making glucose...hence, you need pyruvate carboxylase enzyme for gluconeogenesis. A deficiency of pyruvate carboxylase can cause lactic acidosis as a result of lactate build up. Normally, excess pyruvate is shunted into gluconeogenesis via conversion of pyruvate into oxaloacetate, but because of the enzyme deficiency, excess pyruvate is converted into lactate instead. As a key role of gluconeogenesis is in the maintenance of blood sugar, deficiency of pyruvate carboxylase can also lead to hypoglycemia

complex partial

The question stem says "altered consciousness," and thats what rules out the other partial seizures. The patient does not have to lose consciousness but if she can't communicate while the episode is going on, then you can safely assume that it is not a simple partial. Absence is the blank stare minus any other of the symptoms listed, so you can rule that out. And generalize tonic clonic would cause the patient to literally fall off her chair and have a much more sever episode than listed above.

spinothalamic tract

The spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway originating in the spinal cord. It transmits information to the thalamus about pain, temperature, itch and crude touch. The pathway decussates at the level of the spinal cord, rather than in the brainstem like the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway and corticospinal tract. The cell bodies of neurons that make up the spinothalamic tract are located in the spinal ganglia. These neurons receive input from sensory fibers that innervate the skin and internal organs.

Autoimmune Metaplastic Atrophic Gastritis (AMAG) is an inherited form of atrophic gastritis characterized by an immune response directed toward parietal cells and intrinsic factor.[1] The presence of serum antibodies to parietal cells and to intrinsic factor are characteristic findings. The autoimmune response subsequently leads to the destruction of parietal cells, which leads to profound hypochlorhydria (and elevated gastrin levels). The inadequate production of intrinsic factor also leads to vitamin B12 malabsorption and pernicious anemia. AMAG is typically confined to the gastric body and fundus.

The closely related terms membranous nephropathy[1] and membranous glomerulopathy[2] both refer to a similar constellation but without the assumption of inflammation. Some patients may present as nephrotic syndrome with proteinuria, edema with or without renal failure. Others may be asymptomatic and may be picked up on screening or urinalysis as having proteinuria. A definitive diagnosis of membranous nephropathy requires a kidney biopsy.

phosphorylase kinase

Physiologically, phosphorylase kinase plays the important role of stimulating glycogen breakdown into free glucose by phosphorylating glycogen phosphorylase and stabilizing its active conformation. This activity is particularly important in liver and muscle cells, though for somewhat different purposes. While muscle cells generally break down glycogen to power their immediate activity, liver cells are responsible for maintaining glucose concentration in the bloodstream. Thus, the regulatory mechanisms of PhK activity vary somewhat depending on cell type.

Posterior urethral valve (PUV) disorder is an obstructive developmental anomaly in the urethra and genitourinary system of male newborns.[1] A posterior urethral valve is an obstructing membrane in the posterior male urethra as a result of abnormal in utero development. It is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in male newborns. The disorder varies in degree, with mild cases followed conservatively. More severe cases can have renal failure and even respiratory failure from lung underdevelopment as result of low amniotic fluid volumes, requiring intensive care and close monitoring.

Patients typically complain of lateral hip pain, although the hip joint itself is not involved. The pain may radiate down the lateral aspect of the thigh. - The term greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is now being commonly substituted for trochanteric bursitis, because the inflammatory etiology of the pain is being refuted by current research, using ultrasonographic, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - based, and histologic evidence. - Flexion or anteversion (140°): iliopsoas (with psoas major from vertebral column); tensor fascia latae, pectineus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, and gracilis.

lactulose trapping of ammonia in the colon by acidic metabolites of lactulose

In treating hepatic encephalopathy, lactulose helps "draw out" ammonia (NH3) from the body.[5] Lactulose is metabolized in the colon by bacterial flora to short chain fatty acids including the production of the lactic acid and acetic acid. This partially dissociates, acidifying the colonic contents (increasing the H+ concentration in the gut).[6] This favors the formation of the nonabsorbable NH4+ from NH3, trapping NH3 in the colon and effectively reducing plasma NH3 concentrations. The effectiveness of lactulose in treating hepatic encephalopathy is somewhat controversial.[ Lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy generally requires oral dosage three or four times a day with diarrhea almost a certain side effect.

right sided O2 shift

DIC

Increased plasmin generation - Increase plasmin to increase fibrinolysis (to degrade fibrin = bleeding) - normal coagulation is disrupted and abnormal bleeding occurs from the skin (e.g. from sites where blood samples were taken), the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract and surgical wounds. The small clots also disrupt normal blood flow to organs (such as the kidneys), which may malfunction as a result. The activation of the coagulation cascade yields thrombin that converts fibrinogen to fibrin; the stable fibrin clot being the final product of hemostasis. The fibrinolytic system then functions to break down fibrinogen and fibrin. Activation of the fibrinolytic system generates plasmin (in the presence of thrombin), which is responsible for the lysis of fibrin clots. The breakdown of fibrinogen and fibrin results in polypeptides called fibrin degradation products (FDPs) or fibrin split products (FSPs). In a state of homeostasis, the presence of plasmin is critical, as it is the central proteolytic enzyme of coagulation and is also necessary for the breakdown of clots, or fibrinolysis.

fainting

Parasympathetic outflow is responsible for the vasovagal response (aka neurocardiogenic syncope), which is a fancy way of saying "fainting." People faint when anxious (giving blood, needles, etc.) and can experience warmth, nausea, and light-headedness prior to going out. Think about the important diagnostic points separating cardiac syncope (all the other causes listed) from fainting and seizures. This is more of a third year thing, admittedly. As a test taking skill, you should also note that all the others imply structural damage to the heart and would be unlikely in a young military recruit who is undergoing BT. Another place this skill is useful is in lung pathology questions: separate obstructive from restrictive answer choices, increased A-a gradient choices from normal A-a choices, increased AG met acidosis from normal AG choices, and so o

globus pallidus

Parkinson disease Surgery and deep brain stimulation Placement of an electrode into the brain. The head is stabilized in a frame for stereotactic surgery. Treating motor symptoms with surgery was once a common practice, but since the discovery of levodopa, the number of operations declined. Studies in the past few decades have led to great improvements in surgical techniques, so that surgery is again being used in people with advanced PD for whom drug therapy is no longer sufficient.[35] Surgery for PD can be divided in two main groups: lesional and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Target areas for DBS or lesions include the thalamus, the globus pallidus or the subthalamic nucleus.[35] Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the most commonly used surgical treatment. It involves the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. DBS is recommended for people who have PD who suffer from motor fluctuations and tremor inadequately controlled by medication, or to those who are intolerant to medication, as long as they do not have severe neuropsychiatric problems.[29] Other, less common, surgical therapies involve the formation of lesions in specific subcortical areas (a technique known as pallidotomy in the case of the lesion being produced in the globus pallidus).[35]

PICA

The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), the largest branch of the vertebral artery, is one of the three main arterial blood supplies for the cerebellum. It winds backward around the upper part of the medulla oblongata, passing between the origins of the vagus and accessory nerves, over the inferior cerebellar peduncle to the undersurface of the cerebellum, where it divides into two branches. The medial branch continues backward to the notch between the two hemispheres of the cerebellum; while the lateral supplies the under surface of the cerebellum, as far as its lateral border, where it anastomoses with the anterior inferior cerebellar and the superior cerebellar branches of the basilar artery. Branches from this artery supply the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Diseases Infarction of this artery due to thrombosis or a stroke leads to lateral medullary syndrome, also known as PICA syndrome or Wallenberg syndrome. Severe occlusion of this or vertebral arteries could lead to Horner's Syndrome as well.
