How do you treat hypercalcemia?
*If mild (Ca 14, or Ca between 12-14 with symptoms, give normal saline as well as possibly calcitonin and bisphosphanate for long-term management
Describe the phases of psychiatric illness
Response: Significant improvement (>50%) in symptoms after intervention
Remission: Minimal symptoms after intervention
Relapse: Return of symptoms
Recovery: Minimal symptoms, only maintenance therapy
Are vaccines given by gestational or chronologic age?
Chronological age
What are criteria for a positive PPD?
> 5 mm if HIV positive, immunosuppressed, have signs of TB on CXR, or have known recent contact with TB-infected individual
10 mm if from endemic region, IVDU, high risk setting, diabetes/hematologic malignancy/CKD/fibrotic lung disease, child 15 mm in everyone else
Describe factorial study design
Many different independent variables are studied simultaneously
What is the first step in pulseless electrical activity?
Do CPR - no defibrillation!!
Contrast radiation pneumonitis from secondary malignancy by clinical presentation as well as CXR findings
Pneumonitis: Dyspnea manifesting 4-24 months s/p XRT, diffuse process on CXR
Secondary malignancy: Presents within years (up to 20), nodule on CXR
What is the first step in managing PPROM?
Determine GBS status, if unknown, give prophylactic penicillin.
What is the dreaded complication of compartment syndrome
Volkmann’s ischemic contracture (dead muscle is replaced by fibrotic tissue)
What is a likely cause of a positive anti-D antibody screen in a patient who has received RhoGam during prior pregnancy?
Failure to correct postpartum dose for intrapartum hemorrhagic event
Contrast the lens subluxation in Marfan’s and Homocystinuria
Upward in Marfan’s, downward in Homocystinuria
What laboratory values are associated with hypercalcemia of malignancy?
Very high calcium (>14), low PTH, normal vitamin D
How do you treat hypercalcemia?
*If mild (Ca 14, or Ca between 12-14 with symptoms, give normal saline as well as possibly calcitonin and bisphosphanate for long-term management
Describe the phases of psychiatric illness
Response: Significant improvement (>50%) in symptoms after intervention
Remission: Minimal symptoms after intervention
Relapse: Return of symptoms
Recovery: Minimal symptoms, only maintenance therapy
How do you treat inactive TB vs Active TB?
Inactive: INH and B6 for 9 months
Active: 3+ drugs for 6 months
What are criteria for a positive PPD?
> 5 mm if HIV positive, immunosuppressed, have signs of TB on CXR, or have known recent contact with TB-infected individual
