testing. - decreased glucose uptake by the brain in frontal and temporal lobe
◍ Microcytic anemia.
Answer: iron deficiency, usually due to malabsorption / occult blood loss, or
, lead poisoning. MCV <80
◍ measures amt of cholesterol in that particle?.
Answer: LDL-C
◍ MAO-B inhibitor drugs.
Answer: SelegilineRasagilineused for mild to moderate parkinsons - can use
with levodopa

Answer: Complete or partial absence of 1 of the 2 X chromosomes in the
female
◍ Myxedema coma.
Answer: extreme hypothyroidism(abrupt med cessation), rare with a high
mortality rate = decreased cardiac output leads to decreased tissue perfusion
which leads to brain and organ depletion leading to multi-organ failure

Answer: results when the pituitary gland is dysfunctional and does not
secrete TSH - TSH maybe high, low, or normal.
