UPDATE
What are the two types of malignant lymphomas? - Answer- Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
What is Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by? - Answer- Progression from one group of
lymph nodes to another, presence of Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells, and development of
systemic symptoms
What is the median age of diagnosis for Hodgkin lymphoma? - Answer- Around 64
years of age
At what stages of life does Hodgkin lymphoma peak? - Answer- Early in life (20's and
30's) and later in life (60's and 70's)
How does non-Hodgkin lymphoma differ from Hodgkin lymphoma? - Answer- Non-
Hodgkin lymphoma has less localization and non-contiguous node involvement,
absence of Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells, and can develop from B-cells, T-cells, and NK-
cell neoplasms
How is non-Hodgkin lymphoma classified? - Answer- Low, intermediate, or high-grade
What is high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with? - Answer- Viral infections
and HIV
What do AML mutations cause? - Answer- Disruption in effective production of cells
across the myeloid progenitor line
What does NHL develop from? - Answer- B-cells, T-cells, and NK-cell neoplasms
How can NHL be classified? - Answer- Low, intermediate, or high-grade
,What does acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) affect? - Answer- The lymphatic system
by proliferating immature T and B cells
Match the cell, mutation type, or description with the disease: Philadelphia chromosome
- Answer- Chronic myelogenous leukemia
Match the cell, mutation type, or description with the disease: Reed Sternberg cells -
Answer- Hodgkin lymphoma
Match the cell, mutation type, or description with the disease: Most common leukemia in
children - Answer- Acute lymphocytic leukemia
What is Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)? - Answer- Small clot formation
leading to platelet consumption.
What causes TTP? - Answer- Low supply of adamTS13.
What is the role of adamTS13 in normal physiology? - Answer- Prevents platelets from
over-populating.
What happens in TTP? - Answer- Platelets aggregate, causing occlusion of arteries and
capillaries.
What organs can be affected by TTP? - Answer- Brain, heart, kidneys, and other organs
throughout the vascular system.
How common is TTP? - Answer- Roughly 5 per 1 million people per year.
What are the two types of TTP? - Answer- Familial and acquired idiopathic.
What is the difference between familial and acquired TTP? - Answer- Familial TTP is
rarer, seen in children, and has predictable, recurring episodes of bleeding. Acquired
TTP is more common, acute, severe, and primarily affects adults.
What is the essential treatment for TTP? - Answer- Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis).
What is Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP)? - Answer- Immune system attacks
platelets, leading to bruising and bleeding.
What often causes ITP? - Answer- Viral infection.
When does ITP resolve? - Answer- Once the source of the antigen is resolved.
What are the symptoms of ITP? - Answer- Bleeding gums, nose bleeds
(mucocutaneous bleeding), and bleeding under the skin (petechiae, purpura).
, Is ITP an acquired or inherited disorder? - Answer- Acquired hematologic disorder.
What are the two types of ITP? - Answer- Acute and chronic.
Who is mostly affected by acute ITP? - Answer- Children.
How long does acute ITP last? - Answer- About 1 to 2 months with complete remission.
What are the characteristics of acute ITP? - Answer- Destruction of platelets in the
spleen, presence of immune complexes bound to Fc receptors on platelets, and
presence of antigens from immune complexes with circulating antibodies.
What causes acute ITP? - Answer- Viral infections or other conditions that overpopulate
antigens within the blood.
What is the variability of chronic ITP? - Answer- Variable.
What is Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia? - Answer- Adverse reaction to heparin
causing low platelet counts.
What are the characteristics of HIT Type 1? - Answer- Platelet levels decrease
temporarily, no complications, not life-threatening.
What are the characteristics of HIT Type 2? - Answer- Immune and antibody-mediated,
can cause serious reactions, thrombocytopenia and thrombosis.
When does HIT Type 1 occur? - Answer- Within 1 to 2 days after heparin
administration.
When does HIT Type 2 occur? - Answer- Within 5 to 14 days after heparin
administration.
What is neonatal polycythemia? - Answer- Excess RBCs in preterm infants.
Why do children have higher levels of blood cells? - Answer- Higher hematopoietic rate
closer to birth.
What can cause neonatal polycythemia? - Answer- Placental issues or preeclampsia.
What happens to the excess RBCs in neonatal polycythemia? - Answer- They are
destroyed by the body after birth.
What can excess bilirubin from the destruction of RBCs lead to? - Answer- Jaundice.
Why do older adults have a lower BC count? - Answer- Erythrocytes replenish slower
and become more fragile.
