BUZZ2 Flashcards
Non-consciously
generated activities and
simple repetitive
movements in epilepsy
Automatisms
Brainstem stroke
- Impairment of CN III – XII
- Altered breathing and heart
rate - Aphasia
Mode of transmission of
dengue fever
- Vertical transmission
- Organ donation
- Infected blood products
Skin lesion in children
with scabies
Burrow
Most appropriate initial
pharmacotherapy in
symptomatic patients
with osteoarthritis who
are bothered with pain
Acetaminophen
Underlying cause of
Type 2 respiratory
failure
Neuromuscular problems
Heberden’s nodes in
osteoarthritis
Distal interphalangeal joint
Wheal
Rounded or flat-topped
Characteristically evanescent
Disappears within 24-48 hours
Movement of water
from places with lower
sodium concentration to
higher sodium
concentration
Osmosis
Loss of cohesion
between keratinocytes
Atopic dermatitis
Happens during and
immediately after an
epileptic seizure
- Patients may become
unconscious - There may be transient
confusion - Affected patients feel
exhausted
PaO2/FiO2 suggestive of
moderate respiratory
distress syndrome
≤ 200mmHg
Fraction of inspired
oxygen (FiO2) at 1-liter
O2 by nasal catheter
0.24
Most common
presenting symptom of
meningitis in adults
Headache
Typical presentation of
patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary
disease
Dyspnea, chronic cough, chronic
sputum production
Pathology of Wernicke-
Korsakoff psychosis
Damage in thalamus
Type of tissue that
grows abnormally on
Peyronie’s disease
Collagen
Treatment after
exposure (dog bite) that
can prevent rabies
10 days
Process of releasing new
dengue viruses into
circulation
Exocytosis
Chronic
glomerulonephritis:
Urinalysis
- Hematuria with dysmorphic
- RBCs
- RBC casts
- Protein excretion >500mg/dL
Chronic
glomerulonephritis:
Serum findings
LDL cholesterol of 150 mg/dL
Type of
Glomerulonephritis that
usually results in
Nephrotic Syndrome
Membrano-proliferative
Incubation period of
STDs like gonorrhea and
chlamydia
2-5 days
Reliable specimen for
confirmatory test if
suspecting gonorrhea or
chlamydia
Urine for both male and female
Vaginal swab
Rectal swab
Recommended method
of confirmatory
diagnosis for gonorrhea
and chlamydia
Nucleic Acid Amplification Test
(NAAT)
Cushing syndrome
Excess in glucocorticoids
COVID-19: CT Scan if
CXR is unremarkable
No longer necessary since CXR is
normal
COVID-19: CBC
- Decreased lymphocytes (NV:
1000 - 4800) - Normal / decreased WBC (NV:
4500 - 11000) - Decreased platelet count (NV:
150000 - 450000) - Increased hematocrit (NV:
41% - 50%)
In patients with COVID-
19 who are not
dyspneic, a significantly
low oxygen saturation is
still possible
Phenomenon of “Happy
Hypoxemia”
Medication that can
contribute to
development of Cushing
syndrome
Methylprednisolone
Hormone checked in the
blood to confirm the
diagnosis of Cushing
syndrome
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
CBC
WBC ct. of 16,500 cells/mcL
Rheumatoid Arthritis:
2D Echo with doppler
- Mild left ventricular
compliance abnormality - Ejection fraction of 70%
- Minimal pericardial effusion
Rheumatoid Arthritis: xrays
of hands and feet
- Subluxations
- Osteopenia
- Bony erosions
Calcium-channel
blockers used in
patients with
hypertension
- Nifedipine
- Diltiazem
- Verapamil
Calcium-channel
blockers that can
potentially increase
heart rate
Nifedipine
Calcium-channel blocker
best given in patients
with supraventricular
tachycardia
Verapamil
Brugada syndrome:
Cardiac monitor rhythm
Ventricular fibrillation
Brugada syndrome: ECG
findings
Right bundle branch block with
ST elevation in V1, V2
Drug to avoid always in
Brugada syndrome
Na channel blockers
Most common type of ASD
Ostium secundum
Practical maneuver for
patients with relatively
small shunts to
accentuate the shunt
during diagnostic study
Valsalva
Reversal of the shunt in
ASD
Eisenmenger’s syndrome
Ectopic ACTH syndrome
ACTH is markedly elevated
Suggestive of Cushing’s
syndrome
ACTH is normal to mildly
elevated
Suggestive of primary
hypercortisolism
ACTH is undetectable or low
level
