Diаbetes Mellitus Type 1 (Study Outline) Fоr study оnly—this is nоt medicаl аdvice or a substitute for professional care. 1. Background Definition: Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells → absolute insulin deficiency. Pathophysiology: T-cell–mediated autoimmune attack on islet cells (especially HLA-DR3/DR4 associations). Leads to complete loss of endogenous insulin production. Onset often in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age (“LADA” in adults). Epidemiology: Peaks at 4–6 years and 10–14 years. ~5–10% of diabetes cases in the U.S. Increased risk with family history or other autoimmune diseases (thyroiditis, celiac disease). Key Mechanism: Autoantibodies (e.g., anti-GAD65, IA-2, insulin autoantibodies) precede hyperglycemia. 2. History Typical Symptoms (Classic Triad): Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia. Weight loss despite normal/increased appetite. Fatigue, blurred vision. Acute Presentation: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, fruity breath. Risk Factors/Associations: Family history of autoimmune disease. Viral triggers (e.g., coxsackievirus). Historical Clues: Sudden symptom onset over days to weeks. No history of obesity or metabolic syndrome features. 3. Exam Findings General: Thin or underweight body habitus. Dehydration signs: dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor. DKA Findings: Kussmaul respirations (deep, labored breathing). Fruity (acetone) odor on breath. Hypotension, tachycardia. Altered mental status in severe cases. Associated Autoimmune Conditions: Goiter (thyroid disease), vitiligo, celiac signs. 4. Making the Diagnosis Key Laboratory Findings: Fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL on two occasions. Random glucose ≥200 mg/dL with classic symptoms. A1C ≥6.5%. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): 2-hour value ≥200 mg/dL. Autoimmune Markers: Positive GAD65, IA-2, insulin autoantibodies, or ZnT8 confirm autoimmune etiology. Additional Testing: Low or undetectable C-peptide (reflects lack of insulin production). Urine ketones positive in DKA or poor control. Gold Standard: Demonstration of autoimmune β-cell destruction with positive diabetes-associated autoantibodies. Distinguishing from Type 2 DM: Younger, leaner, rapid onset, ketosis-prone, autoimmune antibodies present. 5. Management (Exam Concepts) General Principles: Lifelong exogenous insulin therapy is required. Frequent glucose monitoring (SMBG or CGM). Goal A1C: generally
Pаssаge Six (Questiоns 54 - 57) Pоr аquellоs días no era costumbre que los jóvenes estudiantes fueran a la biblioteca. Juanito se reunía con otros estudiantes como él en el Bar del Toro y allí se divertían y se contaban las últimas noticias. Todos los dineros que su papá le daba, Juanito los gastaba en el bar. Apenas terminados los estudios, hubo un cambio en el joven; perdió el interés en su carrera; empezó a creer ridículos aquellos estudios. No tardó en convencerse que era mejor no leer nada. Tenía Juanito entonces veintitrés años. Lo conocí en un almuerzo que Federico dio a sus amigos. Perdió interés en la lectura.
Pаssаge Fоur (Questiоns 47 - 49) Lа Dirección General de Carreteras infоrma que ningún itinerario de interés general o de carretera nacional ha sido cortado. Se recomienda a los automovilistas que utilicen las carreteras locales para su regreso a las grandes ciudades, porque, debido al largo fin de semana, la circulación por las carreteras nacionales será más lenta de lo normal. **For questions 47-60, mark A if the answer to the question is true, mark B if the answer is false. Se recomienda que el tráfico en las carreteras nacionales sea normal.
