4/23 Flashcards
biggest risk in parenteral nutrition
bloodstream infection
calcium oxalate crystals in urine
ethylene glycol poisoning
loss of radial pulse during inspiration
due to pulsus paradoxus, decrease in systolic BP during inspiration from increased blood to RV bulging out septum in tamponade
LFTs in COPD
decrease FEV1, Normal FVC, decreased FEV1/FVC
most common cause of paraneoplastic cushing syndrome
small cell lung cancer
use for vaginal misoprostol
labor induction (use oxytocin for labor contraction)
diagnosis of SBP
PMN >250, culture, protein<1, SAAG >1.1
location of brain metastasis
gray-white junction
muscle enzymes in polymyositis
elevated, muscles are being broken down and regenerated
focal seizures with impaired awareness
usually temporal lobe epilepsy, has automatisms followed by postictal confusion
major risk in diabetic moms
respiratory distress and macrosomia in late term (pneumocytes are not developed)
- congenital anomalies in early term
medical treatment of monomorphic vtach
amiodarone
calcifications in pancreas
chronic pancreatitis (lipase levels may be normal)
thin, shiny, hairless skin
think PAD
symptomatic hypokalemia after HCTZ
think primary hyperaldo, use spironolactone
common risk after major weight loss
gallstones

how to tell upper GI bleed
BUN:Cr ratio higher than 20
common cause of acute dilated cardiomyopathy
coxsackie myocarditis - does not have pleuritic pain
results of iron poisoning
GI bleed, emesis, lactic acidosis due to tissue destruction
