Full transcript
- 0:00how's it going guys we have a medium
- 0:01difficulty question for biochem slash
- 0:03let me know for step one it's a past
- 0:04level vignette plus slightly challenging
- 0:07answer choices as far as how the
- 0:08integration of the content is concerned
- 0:10so before we get started please
- 0:12subscribe my channel i really appreciate
- 0:13it give the video like really appreciate
- 0:14it find me on instagram at melbourne
- 0:16underscore medical me hlman underscore
- 0:18medical link is down below find me on
- 0:20telegram links to the telegram group and
- 0:22channel are down below now let's start
- 0:24the clip six-year-old boy two-day
- 0:26history of fever and productive cough
- 0:27he's had recurrent chest infections
- 0:29since the age of two years temperature
- 0:31is 102 fahrenheit he's at the third
- 0:32percentile for height and weight
- 0:34question just wants to know what's most
- 0:36likely to be seen in this patient let's
- 0:37just walk the answer choices we'll go
- 0:38backwards choices systolic murmur wrong
- 0:41[ __ ] answer obviously very
- 0:42non-specific could refer to a myriad of
- 0:44things if we were to entertain what this
- 0:46could be in a pediatric case with an
- 0:49immunodeficiency we could conjecture to
- 0:52george syndrome where you get tetralogy
- 0:54of fellow classically which the vsd
- 0:57component is systolic murmur the
- 0:58pulmonic stenosis component also
- 1:00systolic murmur so they'll often give
- 1:02you harsh systolic murmur in the george
- 1:05center okay
- 1:07wrong [ __ ] answer
- 1:09choice d scanty lymph node tonsils wrong
- 1:11answer this refers to b cell deficiency
- 1:13classic for burton x-linked a gamma
- 1:15globulinemia or severe combined
- 1:17immunodeficiency syndrome now whilst
- 1:19this kid does have recurrent pneumonia
- 1:22since the age of two years you say well
- 1:24those are presumably bacterial why
- 1:26couldn't not actually not necessarily
- 1:28bacterial you could get pneumocystis you
- 1:29get viral but my point is
- 1:31if one of you watching this [ __ ] clip
- 1:34were to say why is this not necessarily
- 1:36bruin that's because the age of onset at
- 1:39two years it's not classic okay usually
- 1:41the age of six months most questions
- 1:42were brewing four to seven months i've
- 1:44seen one question on one of the
- 1:45pediatrics forms where it was from birth
- 1:48but the b cell deficiency for both
- 1:50burden as well as skid they like to say
- 1:52scanty lymph nodes and tonsils
- 1:55wrong [ __ ] answer
- 1:57choice c diminished leukocyte migration
- 1:59a size infection wrong answer is
- 2:00leukocyte adhesion efficiency a
- 2:02deficiency of lfa1 cd18 integrin you're
- 2:05gonna have deficient
- 2:07diapedesis of white blood cells to
- 2:10situ infection causing decreased pus
- 2:14at the sites of infection as well as
- 2:16recurrent staph infections is classic
- 2:18and of course some students lean on the
- 2:20crutch of delayed separation of
- 2:22umbilical cord at birth
- 2:25wrong [ __ ] answer
- 2:28choice b decreased endocrine pancreas
- 2:30function wrong answer a bit tricky and
- 2:32this is because i was a flagrant [ __ ]
- 2:33and i wrote endocrine pancreas here
- 2:36which is completely different from
- 2:37exocrine pancreas endocrine pancreas
- 2:39refers to
- 2:40what secreted the hormones secreted into
- 2:43the blood by the pancreas okay insulin
- 2:46glucagon somatostatin by the islet cells
- 2:48in the tail the pancreas in contrast
- 2:50exocrine pancreas refers to lipases
- 2:53proteases bicarb uh secreted into the
- 2:55duodenum so this kid has cystic fibrosis
- 2:59and he would have exocrine pancreas
- 3:02insufficiency okay but exocrine all
- 3:05right not endocrine and that's because
- 3:07we get in insane secretions okay fancy
- 3:10vocab word inspication refers to
- 3:13decussation uh dried up secretions
- 3:15within a lumen that's what happens in
- 3:17cystic fibrosis
- 3:19we get exocrine pancreas insufficiency
- 3:21fat soluble vitamin mal absorption adek
- 3:24all dogs eat kittens those of the fat
- 3:26soluble vitamins but classically d and e
- 3:28are the deficiencies they get with
- 3:31exocrine pancreas insufficiency and in
- 3:33this case decreased bone marrowization
- 3:35is the correct answer okay because
- 3:37the the role of vitamin d at bone is to
- 3:40convert unmineralized osteoid into
- 3:42mineralized hydroxyapatite and whilst i
- 3:45didn't give you any uh signs of rickets
- 3:48i didn't give you bowed tibias
- 3:51okay classic finding
- 3:52but
- 3:54we
- 3:55nevertheless are going to have exocrine
- 3:56pancreas insufficiency very high yield
- 3:58okay and also vitamin e deficiency super
- 4:02[ __ ] high yield on the biochem
- 4:04questions for uh exocrine pancreas
- 4:06insufficiency okay which presents as
- 4:08hemolysis
- 4:09so
- 4:10and also neuropathy similar to b12
- 4:12deficiency okay
- 4:14vitamin e deficiency that is so cystic
- 4:17fibrosis autosomal recessive chromosome
- 4:197
- 4:20the cftr channel it's a chloride channel
- 4:22normally located at the cell membrane in
- 4:24cystic fibrosis however if you do
- 4:26electron microscopy you'll visualize the
- 4:28channel misfolded and sequestered in the
- 4:30rough endoplasmic reticulum of the
- 4:32cytosol
- 4:33we could do
- 4:34a very [ __ ] extended discussion of
- 4:37all the little mechanisms for different
- 4:39things in cf but my point of
- 4:41recapitulation here for this short clip
- 4:44is that you need to know
- 4:46cystic fibrosis okay crohn disease if we
- 4:49have
- 4:50malabsorptive disorders in pediatrics we
- 4:54can get fat soluble vitamin mal
- 4:56absorption classically vitamin d and
- 4:58vitamin e
- 4:59are the ones that are highest yield for
- 5:01u.s smelly okay you need to
- 5:03have that on the forefront of your mind
- 5:04when you see a vignette such as this
- 5:06you know the deal i'm gonna continue to
- 5:07make more content if you like my stuff
- 5:09subscribe my channel
- 5:10and appreciate your time that's it
