9/11 Flashcards
signs in malignant hypertension
retinal hemorrhges and papillary edema (hypertensive encephalopathy)
diagnosis of kidney stone
ultrasound or non-contrast CT
stepwise dementia
vascular
medial temporal lobe atrophy
alzeimers
defective mineralization of bone matrix
osteomalacia
pulmonary contusion
- results in alveolar hemmorhage
- tachypnea, tachycardia and hypoxia
- rales and decreased breath sounds
pain worse with eating and weight loss in elderly patient
chronic mesenteric ischemia
diagnosis of bronchiectasis
high resolution CT scan
most common association with ankylosing spondylitis
anterior uveitis
most common liver cancer
met from colon, can be solitary, usually multiple
aspiration pneumonitis
aspiration of sterile and acidic stomach contents causing damage
most common cause of drug induced acne
corticiosteroids (has monomorphic papules with no comedones)
leading cause of urinary incontinence in elders
UTI
negative dipstick with urinary symptoms
still do culture
leukocyte esterase vs nitrites
LA shows pyuria, nitirites show e coli bacteria present
drug to limit cardiac remodeling in MI
ACE inhibitors
area of brain for Brocas
dominant frontal lobe
reasons for thinking secondary hypertension
- malignant hypertension
- resistant hypertension
- sudden rises in BP
- young with HTN and no family history
cardinal symptoms of acute COPD
- increased dyspnea
- increased cough
- sputum production
antibiotics in COPD
- more than 2 cardinal symptoms
- mechanical ventilation required
cause of NAFLD
- insulin resistance
- increased peripheral lipolysis and hepatic uptake of fatty acids leading to cytokine production
most common location of origin of afib beats
pulmonary veins
highest risk factor for rate of aneurysm expansion
smoking
great risk colon poyps
- villous features
- size over 1cm
- more then 3 in number
most common preventable travel illness
Hep A - get vaccinated
best respiratory support in AECOPD patients
NPPV
narrow pulse pressure
aortic stenosis
common treatments for diabetic pain
- amitriptyline
- duloxetine
- pregabalin/gabapentin
order of interventions lowers BP
- weight loss
- DASH diet
- exercise
- low sodium
- less alcohol
triad of RCC
- flank pain
- hematuria
- abdominal mass
MS vs TIA time course
MS = days to weeks TIA = minutes to hours
