stop drug, start steroids

28
Q

- thus can be useful diagnostic test since should see creatinine elevation if renovascular

30
Q

max dose of ibuprofen

A

2,400 (800 TID)

31
Q

acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis

A

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis can present in acute, subacute, or chronic forms. The case described includes two episodes of the acute form. The patient was exposed to mold antigens in his flooded home. Within 4–8 hours of exposure, chills, cough, and shortness of breath will be noted, and at times will be dramatic. A chest film can be normal, even with significant hypoxia. Pulmonary function tests will show restrictive changes, as compared to the reversible obstructive changes of acute asthma. Blood tests often show an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Serum IgG tests for the probable antigen confirm the diagnosis.

Symptoms of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis resolve over several days, but will suddenly and violently recur with repeated exposure to the offending antigen. The subacute form begins gradually over weeks or months, causing a cough and increasing shortness of breath. The chronic form develops over years of exposure, causing fibrotic changes to the lungs that will be evident on radiographs, as well as chronic crackles on auscultation.

32
Q

common metabolic abnormality with stage 4 CKD

A

hyperparathyroidism

33
Q

only med proven to be effective for cold

A
  • ipratroprium nasal spray (decreases rhinorrhea and sneezing)
34
Q

management of negative rubella titer in pregnant woman

A

vaccinate immediately postpartum (can’t while pregnant since live vaccine)

35
Q

contraindications to bisphosphonates

A

Hypocalcemia

renal impairment

36
Q

major contraindication to OCPs

A

history of migraine (women with migraine history are 2-4 times as likely to have a stroke compared to women without migraines and women who have an aura with migraine are at even higher risk)

37
Q

treatment of melasma

A

high-potency broad-spectrum sunscreens can help prevent it or prevent worsening

  • postpartum topical retinoids, hydroquinone, or steroids can be used but require months of treatment.
  • usually improves spontaneously after delivery but may be prolonged or worsened by OCP use (which can do it too)
38
Q

otitis externa treatment

A
  • Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/dexamethasone 0.1% (Ciprodex) topically
    (topical corticosteroids may hasten symptom reduction)
39
Q

urine should be acidified for what type of stones?

A

calcium phosphate, struvite stones (cranberry juice or betaine can lower urine pH)

40
Q

PCOS women at increased risk for what malignancy?

A

endometrial

41
Q

gonorrhea treatment

A

Ceftriaxone, 250 mg intramuscularly, plus azithromycin (Zithromax), 1 g orally

42
Q

treatment of comedonal acne

A
  • topical retinoids
  • Comedones are noninflammatory acne lesions. Inflammatory lesions include papules, pustules, and nodules. Grading acne based on the type of lesion and severity helps guide therapy. Topical retinoids prevent the formation of comedones and reduce their number, and are indicated as monotherapy for noninflammatory acne. Topical antibiotics are used primarily for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory or mixed acne. Oral antibiotics are effective for the treatment of moderate to severe acne. Oral isotretinoin is reserved for treatment of severe, recalcitrant acne.
43
Q

major contraindication to OCPs

A

history of migraine (women with migraine history are 2-4 times as likely to have a stroke compared to women without migraines and women who have an aura with migraine are at even higher risk)

44
Q

USPSTF recommendation for AAA screening

A

one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in men age 65–75 who have ever smoked (Grade B recommendation)

45
Q

otitis externa treatment

A
  • Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/dexamethasone 0.1% (Ciprodex) topically
    (topical corticosteroids may hasten symptom reduction)
46
Q

urine should be acidified for what type of stones?

A

calcium phosphate, struvite stones (cranberry juice or betaine can lower urine pH)

47
Q

CHADS 2

A

warfarin

48
Q

antidote for magnesium toxicity

A

calcium infusion

49
Q

initial management of hypothyroidism

A

Methimazole and propylthiouracil (PTU) are the two oral antithyroid medications available. However, because of reports of severe hepatocellular damage, methimazole should be used instead of PTU unless it is contraindicated. Radioactive iodine treatment (131I) is an option, especially for patients who do not achieve remission with antithyroid medications. However, worsening of preexisting orbitopathy is a well-recognized potential complication of 131I treatment, as well as a transient increase in thyroid hormone levels that can precipitate thyroid storm. Thus, patients with elevated free T3 or free T4 levels should be treated with methimazole prior to 131I administration. Thyroidectomy is most often recommended for patients with thyroid nodules and those who are suspected of having cancer or who do not tolerate or refuse alternative forms of therapy. However, antithyroid medication should be given to achieve a euthyroid state prior to surgery in most patients.

50
Q

management of hoarseness

A
  • if doesn’t resolve in 3 months then get laryngoscopy
  • if recent history of URI or vocal abuse, then voice rest for 2 weeks
  • if history of GERD, ppi
51
Q

USPSTF recommendation for AAA screening

A

one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in men age 65–75 who have ever smoked (Grade B recommendation)

52
Q

1st line antihypertensive for patients with CAD

A

beta-blockers (should also be used for normotensive patients)

53
Q

A

bone pain

54

Q

management of lateral epicondylitis

A

Conservative care that includes offloading the involved tendons is the key to improving outcomes at 1 year, which would mean modifying this patient’s work.
- Stop doing whatever it is that is causing the pain.
