    1. volume regulation

      Less efficient bc it doesn't retain Na, so the H2O distributes across all compartments instead of just ECF where it is needed to maintain ECV. Only a small fraction reaches intravascular space (most needed to restore blood volume)

    1. %

      5% dextrose is considered just free water since it is metabolized quickly. -Na will become more dilute. Helps in H2O balance but oesn't correct volume deficits

      To treat hyponatremia, use normal or half normal saline to correct hypovolemia (restore volume and Na) Use D5 to address water imbalance.

    2. Is this case of hyponatremia truly a hypo-tonic state?

      Hypotonic hyponatremia-- Na is a good indicator of osmotic state (evaluate hyponatremia)

      Hypertonic hyponatremia (serum osmolarity is higher than suggested by serum concentration)-- another osmolite is doing this

      Pseudo hyponatremia (serum osmolarity is normal, but Na conc is low)-- protein or triglycerides artifically lower the measured Na - Solid make up a larger portion of the volume, "diluting the liquid portion" - Na in liquid is normal but larger volume of solids make it look like there's too little Na

    3. Another way to achieve a similar result would be for the patient to ingest fewer osmoles, asin diets consisting primarily of alcohol (“beer potomania”) or “tea-and-toast.”

      Too little Na, too much H2O

    1. Recent work by Troscianko et al. (2012), however, suggests that this domainspecificity may arise as an aspect of the bird’s embodiment.

      Embodiment saves energy-> more energy for survival and reproduction

    2. Instead of an animal’sability to produce flexible, reliable perceptually-guided action being seen as indepen-dent of its physical embodiment, with the environment viewed simply as the stage onwhich behavior is played out, the embodied, embedded, enactive view considers theanimal’s body, and how it engages with the environment, to be a crucial resource thatcan be exploited in ways that actively contribute to the animal’s problem-solvingabilities

      View emerging that biology and cognition are separate. Another view says that behavior must be viewed as embedded in the environment

    1. intervening variable interpretation

      intervening variable interpretation terms are exhaustively defined relative to observable measures hypothetical construct interpretation terms are partially defined relative to observable measures - Both work but need to be consistent in that usage

    2. An exhaustive definitionmeant that the concepts were defined without remainder by referring toobservables. The implication was that exhaustively defined concepts couldbe applied in only one situation. In contrast, a partial definition meant thatthe concepts did have additional meaning beyond the current situation andcould be applied elsewhere

      Exhaustive definition: fully defined by refering to observable things (habit strength) Partially defined: some things are observable (superego) - Thought exhaustive was better initially then switched to partial bc it was applicable across situations

    3. modify classical S–R behaviorism

      Classical behaviorism (S-R) needed to be modified bc behavior sometimes 1.) was spontaneous 2.) had variation - R is response, which is the thing being studied

    4. Prior to that time

      People had studied senses and reflexes, but Wundt was responsible for turning it into a more experimentally determined branch of work - Took a physiological approach

    1. T2/FLAIRhyperintensity and aggressive presentation in a large co-hort of dAVF patients

      Making a connection between aggressive presentation and T2/FLAIR hyperintensity. Then seeing the relationship between CVD and how it is incorporated.

    2. All cured dAVFs with symptom resolution and available post-treatment imaging had resolution of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity.

      T2/FLAIR hyperintensity is a sign that there are still symptoms-> especially prevalent with CVD

    1. In mammalian cells, the presence of DNA damage can block entry from G1 into Sphase, it can slow S phase once it has begun, and it can block the transition fromS phase to M phaseI These delays facilitate DNA repair by providing the time needed for the repair toreach completion
      • Going from G to S, in addition to DNA damage being repaired, many diseases are associated with mutations here
    2. umuC and umuD encode DNA polymerase V
      • Repressor binds (prevents transcription)
      • Under UV light, RecA Coprotease is activated and cleaves the repressor, so the genes are induced-> umuC and umuD (code for DNA polymerased)
      • Repair thymine dimers, but it is error prone, so we don't want it normally
      • Lots of mutations, but preventing death
    3. Joining two DNA sequences together

      Recognition * MRN complex: prepare for invasion of other strand * Exonuclease chews it down, so there is a primer that is rready for attachment * ssBP come in and Rad51 create a holiday junction that can result in high fidelity * Recognize, process using exonuclease, then, strand migration can occur, and polymerases with hih fidelity copy information and resolve everything

    4. Joining two DNA sequences together

      Error-prone * Glue pieces of DNA together * If there is a break, some information will be lost bc the polymerase causes them to be blunt ends * When ligated, insertions and deletions are common -> shifts the reading frrame * CRISPR works by hopefully doing NHEJ to KO genes * Recognition step, ligase

    5. radiation

      Base: alkylation, oxidation, deamination, x-linking Breaks: ssDNA, dsDNA * Homologous: can only do it when the two chromosomes are paired during the cell cycle (low error! but, can only happen very infrequently)

    6. ranslesion synthesis
      • Damage is in the leading strand; lagging strand is fine
      • Copied across the damage, have not repaired the damage
      • But, Y family DNA polymerases are error prone
      • Low fidelity!
    7. Daughter strand gap repair

      New okazaki fragment gets stuck, lagging strand is not fine, leading strand IS * Leading strand is transfered so that it is exchanged with the daughter strand. * Gap in old parent strand so then the error can be bypassed, so the replication is no longer stuck * Exchanging the stuck strand and unstuck one, so it bypasses the halting error

    8. Mismatch repair (MMR)
      • Endonuclease scans and looks for hemimethylated site, so it can identify the new strand and excises it past the problem.
      • DNA polymerase III and ligase close the gap
      • Endonuclease: cleaves and forms nick, exonucleuse breaks further
    9. Mismatch repair (MMR)
      • Know which strand the parent vs daughter is to cleave the correct base.
      • In E. coli, there are methyl groups that get added to a particular motif
      • Hemimethylation: daughter strand is unmethylated, so it can be targeted for excision
      • Methylation takes time to occur after replication
    10. Repair of oxidative damage to DNA

      If damage is caught in time, then the glycosylase sees it and removes it. BUT, image, it could not recognize it in time, so replication occurs * Remove A and do DNA synthesis across oG and incorporates the correct base, however, if it adds the wrong one again, there are far more problems to worry about

    11. Pathways of base excision repair
      • Abasic site-> 2 options: AP endonuclease (cleaves phosphodiester bond upstream of the abasic site, so 3'OH is exposed, so a primer is generated)
      • Endonuclease can cleave one nucleotide only, and it can be corrected and resealed, or multiple nucleotides -> flap formed (only one is damaged, but excise the entire region)
      • Another pathway, instead of endonuclease, uses AP lyase, where it cleaves downstream instead of upstream, so it can't do DNA synthesis, so it must cleave the base before continuing
    12. Uracil-glycosylase flips the uracil out of B-DNA
      • Enzyme has an active site that only takes out Uracil-> allows for cleavage
      • Nucleotide excision repair doesn't care which base it is, knows that it doesn't look right, but here, it is specific
    13. Replacement of uracil in DNA by BER
      • Need enzyme that recognizes the incorrect base
      • Ex: Uracil, it should not be there
      • Get rid of the unincorporated dUTP, cleansing enzymes convert it to dUMP, which can't be used by the polymerase
      • Glycosylase: cleaves the base off so an abasic site is formed
    14. Reversal of methylation damage (suicide enzymes)

      Enzymes become inactivated in the process * Transfer methyl group from O6 into themselves * Cysteine attacks guanine, but the enzyme becomes inactive. * Once methylated in bacteria, become transcription factors-> activates adaptive response, which allows it to make more of the enzyme itself * Work on all alkylation, but some are repaired rather through excision repair

    15. Reversal of UV damage (photoreactivation)

      Becomes a free radical and goes through a rearrangement that corrects the thymine dimer, which allows FADH to return to ground state * Driven by sunlight, don't need to know mechanism, but know what it is * Chromophore is excited, which donates to FADH, which can repair thymine dimers

    16. Many human diseases are linked with decreased repair

      Why is DNA so good at being repaired? Especially in comparison with RNA? * Information in other strands and chromosomes * Geometry of helix * Only 4 bases

    17. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)

      React with almost every base, especially guanine * Guanine is the most reactive with these species * When oxidized, it becomes mutagenic * Does not react with WC face, causes the base to switch from anti to syn

    18. Alkylation

      Alkylation of O6 is VERY mutagenic * Special suicide enzymes to get rid of it * Even methylation of a non-pairing region can disrupt polymerase binding

    19. S-adenosyl methionine

      Universal methyl donor in cells, don't need to know structure SAM + lys <=> Lys-CH3 Intentional reactions to methylate SAM is highly reactive and can react in an uncatalyzed reaction * ROS can react, creating a profound effect on replication

    20. Spontaneous

      Water is not reactive with bases, but since it is at such a high [ ], it will react -> depurination * Lose base and have an abasic site Deamination-> instead of amine, have carbonyl * Water driven

    21. Deamination
      • Changing the amine group to a carbonyl, which will have drastic effects
      • Acceptor to donor, will base pair with new base
      • C -> U is the most problematic, b/c the machinery can't tell if U or G is the problem. If it fixes the G, it will be incorrect-> mutation. If it fixes U, it will also be a mutation
    22. Spontaneous

      Why are biological molecules susceptible to damage? Want DNA to be accessible. * Phosphodiester bond breakage and losing the base are both labile (-dG) * Spontaneous: react with water, itself, etc.

    23. DNA polymerases
      • Not all polymerases are equivalent (either nuclear or mitochondrial DNA replication)
      • Delta and epsilon replicate nuclear; gamma replicate mitochondrial DNA
      • Look for high fidelity
      • Why can alpha have a lower fidelity? Okazaki fragments , polymerizing short fragments
      • All others are involved in DNA repair
      • Don't need to memorize names, just know fxn
    24. DNA polymerization overview
      • Base pairing between nucleotides and geometry around that addition need to be correct
      • Mistakes-> the editing site checks for mistakes and corrects them
      • Going to proofreading site is driven by incorrect base pairing
    25. DNA double helix comprises two complementary strands and has B-form
      • 1/10,000,000 - error rate
      • Checks for geometry of the bases and the helix itself (if helix deviates from typical B-DNA structure)
    26. Outline

      DNA damage: damage from exogenous or endogenous agents. Some DNA pathways are specific, but others can heal different damages Cell response happens when you overwhelm their DNA repair pathways-> induce signals or death

    27. DNA

      Past: Focus on the replication fork and the roles of the specific components of the replication fork. Don't need to know the names exactly, bc they differ between types of organisms
