Frage 7

Frage
Which test results would indicate cranial diabetes insipidus?
Antworten
  • Water deprivation test - patients are desperate to drink; urine osmolality remains low Response to ADH - DI improves
  • Water deprivation test - patients are desperate to drink; urine osmolality stays low Response to ADH - DI does not improve
  • Water deprivation test - urine osmolality becomes high (i.e. concentrated) Response to ADH - DI improves
  • Water deprivation test - urine osmolality becomes high (i.e. becomes concentrated) Response to ADH - DI does not improve

Antworten
  • Prolactinomas (30%) Cushing's disease (20%) Acromegaly (15%) TSHoma (<1%)
  • Prolactinomas (30%) Cushing's disease (20%) TSHomas (15%) Acromegaly (<1%)
  • Acromegaly (30%) Cushing's disease (20%) Prolactinomas (15%) TSHoma (<1%)
  • Prolactinomas (30%) TSHoma (20%) Acromegaly (15%) Cushing's disease (<1%)

Frage 9

Frage
Describe the process of thyroid hormone production: 1. Iodine is actively transported into the [blank_start]follicular thyroid cells[blank_end] via [blank_start]sodium iodide transporters[blank_end] on the basolateral side of the cell (this is called [blank_start]iodide trapping[blank_end]) 2. Iodine diffuses to the luminal side of the cell 3. Iodine is transported into the follicle lumen by [blank_start]pendrin[blank_end], a membrane transporter 4. The follicle cells secrete [blank_start]thyroglobulin[blank_end] (containing ~70 [blank_start]tyrosine[blank_end] amino acids) into the lumen 5. Iodide ions undergo [blank_start]oxidation[blank_end] to form [blank_start]iodine[blank_end] via the action of the enzyme [blank_start]hydrogen peroxidase[blank_end] 6. [blank_start]Organification[blank_end] of the thyroglobulin molecule: ---Iodine binds to tyrosine amino acids within the thyroglobulin molecule via the action of [blank_start]thyroid peroxidase[blank_end] ---This forms [blank_start]monoiodotyrosine[blank_end] ---This undergoes further iodine binding to form [blank_start]diiodotyrosine[blank_end] ---MIT/DIT molecules are coupled to each other 7. If two DIT molecules couple together, [blank_start]T4 (thyroxine)[blank_end] is formed 8. If one MIT molecule couples with one DIT molecule, [blank_start]T3 (triiodothyronine)[blank_end] is formed
Antworten
  • follicular thyroid cells
  • sodium iodide transporters
