Flashcard 42: Immunostaining for dystrophin (present in BMD) will reveal a(n) _____ at the myocyte cell membrane (absent in DMD).
Answer: brown halo
Extra: * Whereas myocytes without dystrophin (as in DMD) will not reveal a brown halo at the cell membrane
* Histology picture: Normal at top, DMD below
* Boy on top of scottish games sign (left) with blue spotted sash WITHOUT brown halo (DMD): if dystrophin is ABSENT (as in DMD), immunostaining for dystrophin will NOT reveal a brown halo at the myocyte cell membrane
* Adolescent blue spotted sash (right) WITH brown halos (BMD): if dystrophin is PRESENT (even if in small amounts or low molecular weight [as in BMD]), immunostaining for dystrophin will reveal a brown halo at the myocyte cell membrane

Flashcard 48: In DMD, BMD, & Myotonic Dystrophy, histology displays myocytes of _____ sizes
Answer: different
Extra:
* due to muscle regeneration in different phases

Flashcard 49: Secondary hyperparathyroidism over time often results in parathyroid _____
Answer: hyperplasia
Extra: - CKD → ↓ phosphate excretion → ↑ serum phosphate → phosphate binds Ca2+ → ↓ free Ca2+ → ↑ PTH.
- CKD also leads to ↓ Vitamin D activation (1-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency) → ↓ intestinal Ca2+ absorption → ↓ free Ca2+ → ↑ PTH.
- Chronic stimulation leads to **diffuse hyperplasia** of all four parathyroid glands.
- If the hyperplasia becomes autonomous and results in very high PTH and hypercalcemia, it is termed **tertiary hyperparathyroidism**.
Flashcard 50: Bacterial meningitis is associated with _____ glucose in the CSF
Answer: decreased
