heel
Shoe anatomy: rim where foot inserts
collar

tongue
Shoe anatomy: inside of upper

Shoe anatomy: component of outersole; starts anterior to heel and ends at ball of shoe
shank
When is pre op EKG necessary?
For intermediate and above risk procedures (low risk are considered ambulatory or superficial procedures) and patient has at least one risk factor:
1. stroke
2. CHF
3. insulin dependent diabetes
4. heart disease
5. kidney disease
What is true IM angle?
true IM angle = IMA + MAA - 15
Lepird is an osseous procedure to treat?
metadductus
Proximal procedure to treat bunions. Lateral closing base wedge. Long osseous cut placement allows for easy/better transverse screw fixation.
Juvara
most common periodic paralysis type
clinical symptoms from mild to crazy
triggered by anything
strictly muscle dysfunction
hypokalemic periodic paralysis
Muscarinic antagonist of bronchoconstriction. Can be used for asthma or COPD
ipratropium
beta-agonist that decreases smooth muscle tone. Good for acute asthma attacks
albuterol
ivory phalanx associated with
psoriatic arthritis
Name some oral MRSAs
clindamycin
bactrim
tetracyclines
parasitic infection
warm tropics
self limiting but use topical thiabenzole
cutaneous larva migrans
Headaches, blurry vision, pruritus. Increased red blood cell mass = increased plasma volume. Increased hemoglobin. Decreased EPO. Normal O2.
polycythemia vera, a form of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm
Gout medicine: when to give allopurinol vs probenecid?
Over achieving, under paid.
Over producers give allopurinol. Under excretors give probenecid.
Medicines that lower urate by increasing renal excretion
probenecid or pegloticase
Medicines that lower urate by decreasing urate synthesis (AKA?)
Allopurinol or Febuxostat. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors.
Deep posterior calf compartment muscles from superficial to deep:
FHL>FDL>popliteus> tib post
Dietary supplements that affect coagulation and so should be stopped 1 week pre op
ginseng
ginkgo biloba
ginger
Vitamin E
garlic & fish oil
Gauntlet AFO does what?
locks up motion in the ankle, subtalar, and midtarsal joints
Autosomal recessive. Deafness, syncope, or sudden cardiac arrest. Torsades de pointes on EKG.
Jervell and Lange Nielsen syndrome
Autosomal recessive. Deafness, syncope, or sudden cardiac arrest. Torsades de pointes on EKG.
Jervell and Lange Nielsen syndrome
IV anesthetic that is good to use in emergencies bc it’s generally safe cardiovascularly. It uniquely decreases intracranial pressure. Different structurally. Inhibits enzymes in cortisol and aldosterone synthesis so long term use = adrenal suppression.
Etomidate
Most cardio protective of all inhaled anesthetics?
isoflurane
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Proximal skeletal muscle weakness with skin manifestations. Facial erythema (eyelids). Gottron’s papules/sign. ESR normal.
Dermatomyositis
Gottron’s papules/sign
rash on extensor skin such as knees
Herald patch associated with which condition?
pityriasis rosea
Treponema pallidum associated with which infection?
syphilis
Inverse Square Law
refers to distance being inversely proportional to density. The larger the distance, the less photons will hit the film, the less dense.
KVP 15% Rule
Peak Kilovoltage controls the quality of the x-ray beam.
Decrease KVP by 15% = density/2
Increase KVP by 15% = density x 2
Law of Reciprocity
Exposure time and mA.
Directly proportional.
Increase time increases chance of photons hitting films increases density.
mA is the quantity of photons. Increase quantity of photons, increases it hitting film, increases density.
