Q

how to change ECT dose

A

vary time of exposure to fixed current

20
Q

meds that are contraindicated in ECT

A

theophylline- can cause prolonged seizures/status

use with caution:
hypoglycemics
b blockers- can cause asystole
lidocaine- can reduce seizure induction
lithium- can cause seizure and confusion

21
Q

case control

A

analyzes outocome and looks back in time to assess exposure

22
Q

only med approved for treatment of bulimia nervosa

A

prozac

23
Q

factor analysis

A

multiple observed variables have similar patterns of responses bc they are all associated with a laten variabel

investigate concepts that are not measured directly. ie cognition, socioeconomic status

by using interpretable underlying factors as surrogates for unmeasurable variables

24
Q

ECT produces this type of seizure

A

generalized tonic clonic

25
Q

treats constipation in anorexia

A

docusate- stool softener

avoid laxatives, osmotic agents

26
Q

ECT modality that reduces cognitive SEs but is less effective in sx reduction

A

unilateral nondominant
only travels through one hemisphere. only stimulates non dominant

27
Q

when ect was first used

A

1940s

28
Q

camphor

A

used for convulsive therapy since 1700s.
Used IM in 1930s to induce seizures to treat catatonia,

29
Q

how long pts with eating disorders should be observed.

A

2 hours.

30
Q

deep brain stimulation for OCD target this structure

A

anterior limb of internal capsule

ventral striatum
nucleus accumbens
caudate nucleus
subthalamic nucleus of BG and inferior thalamic peduncle

31
Q

TMS mechanics

A

electromagnetic coil creates strong magnetic field. place coil on scalp and run electricity through it.
can enter brain easily

once enters the neurons, converted into electrical currents acting similar to ECT

32
Q

what does p value of 0.05 mean?

A

there is a 5% chance of the experimental result occurring by chance alone, if the null hypothesis is true

33
Q

null hypothesis

A

no significant difference

34
Q

cohort study

A

follows group of people over period of time to determine risk of developing disease or outcome of interest.

no control group
but can be stratified based on exposure or risk factor of interest.

35
Q

most common SE of ECT

A

anterograde ECT. , headaches, generalized muscle soreness, jaw pain.

anterograde- inability to form new memories.

versus retrograde amnesia- loss of remote memories and can be permanent. rare SE

36
Q

common medical condition asociated with anorexia nervosa

A

Lanugo

bradycardia, pancytopenia, osteopenia, metabolic encephaly, arrhythmias, elevated LFTs, elevated BUN, dec T3, T4, parotid gland enlargement, seizures, peripheral neuropathy.

37
Q

crossover study

A

longitudinal study in which subjects receive different treatments over course of the study, typically sot hat all subjects eventually receive the same exposures.

can be randomized controlled trials or observational

38
Q

bulimia

A

presence of binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain such as self induced vomitting

misuse of laxatives or meds

fasting

excessive exersise

at least once weekly for 3 mo

39
Q

hospitalization for anorexia

A

weight > 25% below expected weight. or children rapidly losing weight regardless of weight.

40
Q

A

complications from fluid and electrolyte shifts during nutritional rehab of a patient who is malnourished.QT prolongation

hypophosphatemia

TX: oral sodium phospate

A

classical conditioning

44
Q

relapse rate after discontinuation of desmopressin

A

60-70%

45
Q

DDVAP

A

chemically similar to vasopressin

concentrates urine and provides regulation of BP. leads to renal water production, iatrogenic hyponatremia may result if intake is not appropriately restricted
