Ethics
This ethical principle states that physicians must not cause harm to patients.
What is non-maleficence?
Microscopy is of no diagnostic value because mycoplasmas stain poorly with the Gram stain. Likewise, the following have poor sensitivity and specificity and are not recommended.
What is antigen tests?
The best-defined costimulators are members of the B7 family, which are recognized by receptors of the CD28 family expressed on the following cells.
What are T cells?
Goitrogen exposure leads to increased release of this hormone.
What is TSH?
The esophagus begins at the level of this vertebra.
What is C6?
The duty to protect personal information from others who have no right to it.
What is confidentiality?
Historically, it was also possible to measure nonspecific reactions to the outer membrane glycolipids of M. pneumoniae by the production of the following (e.g., IgM antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of human erythrocytes at 4° C).
What is cold agglutinins?
T cell responses decline after elimination of the antigen, thus returning the system to rest. The decline is largely because the signals for continued lymphocyte activation undergo the following.
What is elimination?
In addition to benign and malignant tumors of the thyroid gland, this cell is also associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
What is a Hurthle cell?
The term used when the fertilized ovum is implanted in the fallopian tube.
What is ectopic pregnancy?
A medical intervention that offers the patient no clinical benefit.
What is futility of care?
M. pneumoniae infections are spread by this mode of transmission; thus the isolation of infected people could theoretically reduce the risk of infection.
What is close contact?
Cell-mediated immunity is the following immune response stimulated by microbes inside host cells.
What is adaptive immune response?
This cell line is the best source of growth factors during tissue repair.
What is a macrophage?
Elevation of the mandible is the main action of this muscle.
What is the masseter muscle?
Someone who informs people in authority or the public that an individual or an organization is doing something unethical or illegal.
Who is a whistleblower?
The following is widely used for treating M. pneumoniae infections, although resistance has become common in some regions (e.g., greater than 90% in Asia).
What is Azithromycin?
CD4+ Th17 cells stimulate inflammatory responses that eradicate extracellular bacteria and fungi.
What are neutrophil-rich?
This hormone is decreased following activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis in patients with heart failure?
What is ADH?
This is the nerve that innervates the gluteus maximus muscle.
What is the inferior gluteal nerve?
A document prepared by a patient specifying how they should be treated medically, should they be unable to participate in those decisions.
What is an Advance Directive?
These grow extremely slowly in culture so the diagnostic test of choice is nucleic acid amplification.
What is M. genitalium?
The surface molecules whose expression is induced on T cell activation include proteins that are involved in retention of T cells in lymphoid organs, growth factors for cytokines, effector and regulatory molecules, and molecules that influence migration of the following.
What are T cells?
This cell line dominates the inflammatory infiltrate during the first 24 of a tissue injury?
What is a neutrophil?
The anatomical landmark that marks the transition from foregut to midgut?
What is the major duodenal papilla?
