finding insufficient to diagnose otitis media

A

reddened tympanic membrane (can be caused by increased intravascular pressure associated with crying)

32

A
  • opaque tympanic membrane
  • bulging tympanic membrane
  • impaired tympanic membrane mobility
33
Q

35
Q

external otitis media treatment

A

Fundamental to the treatment of external otitis is protection from additional moisture and avoidance of further mechanical injury from scratching. Otic drops containing antibiotics and corticosteroids are very effective.

36
Q

meds that can cause peripheral edema

A

Antihypertensives, such as calcium channel blockers are well known to cause this, but direct vasodilators, β-blockers, centrally acting agents, and antisympathetics also can cause edema. Of the diabetic medications, insulin sensitizers, such as rosiglitazone often cause edema.

37
Q

edema workup

A

First thing to note is if the edema is bilateral or unilateral. Bilateral edema associated with signs and symptoms of CHF (dyspnea, rales, or JVD) would necessitate a chest x-ray to rule in the diagnosis, followed by an echocardiogram. If ascites is present, liver function studies are needed. If these are absent, the clinician should check an urinalysis. If the sediment is abnormal, nephritic syndrome or acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the likely diagnosis.

38
Q

mgmt of chronic venous insufficiency

A

elastic stockings

39
Q

caveat about unilateral edema

A

usually does not respond to diuresis, sodium restore

tion, or an ACE inhibitor

40
Q

fatigue workup

A

1) screen for depression

2) if depression screen negative, screen for sleep apnea, anemia, hypothyroidism, and pregnancy

41
Q

mgmt of external hemorrhoid

A

local anesthesia and excision

42
Q

mgmt of internal hemorrhoids

A

rubber-band ligation and sclerotherapy

A

Oxygen should be tried first if available (eg, in a hospital or emergency clinic setting) since it is without side effects. Otherwise, subcutaneous sumatriptan 6 mg can be used as initial therapy.

48
Q

hematuria workup

A

In patients younger than 40 years with hematuria, but a normal IV pyelogram, urine culture and cytology, periodic
monitoring, and reassurance are appropriate. In a patient older than 40 years, cystoscopy would be appropriate.
