Ken Shared "UGC Picmaster Challenge" - 8 Picmonics
With Picmonic, facts become pictures. We've taken what the science shows - image mnemonics work - but we've boosted the effectiveness by building and associating memorable characters, interesting audio stories, and built-in quizzing. Whether you're studying for your classes or getting ready for a big exam, we're here to help.

Familial Hyperchylomicronemia (Type I)
- Autosomal-Recessive
- Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency
- ApoCII Deficiency
- Elevated Chylomicrons
- Complications
- Acute Pancreatitis
- Pruritic Xanthomas
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Diagnosis
- Creamy Supernatant
Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
- B-cell lymphoma with monoclonal IgM production
- Generalized lymphadenopathy
- Increased serum proteins with M spike (comprised of IgM)
- Bleeding - viscous serum results in defective platelet aggregation
- Cold Agglutinin Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (C-AIHA)
- Raynaud phenomenon
- Visual and neurologic deficits (e.g. retinal hemorrhage or stroke) - IgM (large pentamer) causes serum hyperciscosity
- Treatment
- Acute complications: plasmapheresis (removes IgM from the serum)

- Indication
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular rate control for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter
- Side Effects
- COPD and Asthma Exacerbation
- Impotence
- Adverse CNS effects
- Cardiovascular Effects of Beta-Blockers
- Mask Hypoglycemia
- Drug specific side effects
- Propranolol
- Vasospasm in Prinzmetal's Angina
- Alpha-1-agonism if given alone for Pheochromocytoma and Cocaine
- Metoprolol
- Dyslipidemia
- Overdose
- Saline Infusion
- Atropine
- Glucagon
- Mechanism of Action
- Decreases SA and AV node activity (phase 4 depolarization)
- Contraindicated in Wolf-Parkinson-White
- Decreases mortality in CHF
- Hypotension, Bradycardia, Heart Block, Bronchospasm (SE)
Dubin Johnson Syndrome (with Audio)
- Pathophysiology
- defective hepatocyte secretion in to proper canal
- Autosomal recessive- "hereditary conjugated hyperbilirubinemia"
- Absent MRP2 (multidrug resistant protein)
- Error is inside the hepatocyte.... NOT due to a clogged bile duct
- Signs/symptoms
- Liver changes from Brown to Black
- Jaundiced (otherwise asymptomatic)
- labs
- Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia
- Treatment
- NO excess urinary coproporphyrins
- no treatment necessary (benign disease)
