EOR 2 Flashcards
Dilated CM
- systolic dysfunction
- 50% idiopathic, infective myocarditis, ETOH, beriberi, chagas, doxorubicin
- mitral regurge murmur
- tx w/BB, ACEI, VAD to transplant
HOCM
- diastolic dysfunction, sudden death in teens
- (Valsalva increases sound and squatting decreases it)
- asymptomatic tx w/BB/verapamil, severe add diuretic
- may need myectomy, transplant
Restrictive CM
- diastolic dysfunction
- caused by amyloid,sarcoid, idiopathic
- tx w/diuretic, ACEI, transplant
acute vs suvbacute IE cause
acute-S. Aureus
subacute-S. Viridans
Duke Criteria
Major: Positive blood culture (2 separate cultures drawn >12 hours apart) Evidence of endocardial involvement Positive ECHO- oscillating intracardiac mass on valve or supporting structures, abscess, new partial dehiscence of prosthetic valve or new valve regurgitation
Minor Predisposing heart condition or IVDA
Fever (38 degrees) Vascular phenomena- major arterial emboli, septic pulmonary infarcts, mycotic aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, conjunctival hemorrhage, Janeway lesions Immunologic: glomerulonephritis, Oslers nodes, Roth spots, rheumatoid factor Microbiologic: + blood culture but not meeting major criterion
Echo: consistent with endocarditis but not meeting major criterion
roth spots vs janeway lesions
roth spots-retinal hemorrhage
janeway-palms/soles
Beck;’s triad for pericarditits
- Hypotension with narrow pulse pressure
- JVD
- Muffled heart sounds
how does pericarditis present
sharp chest pain relieved leaning forward
QRD alternans from heart swinging
tx w/NSAIDS and colchicine
erythema multiforme
Acute self limiting type 4 hypersensitivity reaction. MC in young adults 20-40y/o
-Skin lesions evolve over 3-5 days and persist about 2 weeks
-Associated with HSV and meds (sulfa drugs, beta lactams, phenytoin, phenobarbital) malignancies,
autoimmune
how does erythema multiforme present
Target lesions are classic, dull, dust violet, purple/blue/red, macules/vesicles or bullae in the center surrounded by
pale edematous rim and a peripheral red halo. Often febrile.
SJS vs TEN
SJS describes cases where total body surface area of blistering and detachment are <10%
TEN is used to describe cases w/ >30% detachment
drugs that can cause SJS
sulfonamides, allopurinol, antiepileptics
(lamotrigine, phenytoin, carbamazepine), oxicam NSAIDs, beta lactam and other abx,
and nevirapine
Bright cherry-red, Small – pinhead size to about one quarter inch (0.5 centimeter) in diameter Smooth, or can stick out from the skin
cherry angioma
no tx needed
dilation of small superficial vessels and capillaries that cause numerous flat
red marks on the hands, face and tongue
telangectiasia
bullous pemphigoid
-Chronic widespread autoimmune blistering skin disease primarily of the elderly
- Type 2 HSN autoimmune attack on the epithelial basement membrane causing subepidermal blistering
- tense bullae that don’t rupture easily, blister roof contains epidermis, NEGATIVE NIKOLSKY
tx w/steroids
Pemphigus Vulgaris
Oral mucosal membrane erosions and ulcerations before painful flaccid skin bullae, ruptures easily, leaving painful erosions that bleed easily
+ nikolsky sign
tx w/steroids
metformin
decreases hepatic production of glucose
stop if creatinine ?1.5
sulfonylureas
stimulates pancreatic beta cell insulin release
glyburide, glipizide
Thiazolidinediones
increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral receptor site adipose and muscle has no effect on pancreatic beta cells “glitazones”
GLP-1 agonists
lowers blood sugar by mimicking incretin - causes insulin secretion and
decreased glucagon and delays gastric emptying
DDP-4 inh
inhibits degradation of GLP-1 so more
circulating GLP-1
“gliptans”
SGLT2 inh
increased urinary glucose excretion
Cranial nerve 8- schwannoma. Benign tumor of the schwann cells, which produce myelin sheath
acoustic neuroma
- Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss is an acoustic neuroma until proven otherwise
Vestibular neuritis & hearing loss/tinnitus (cochlear involvement)
labyrinthitis, MC from a viral infection
Celiac
-Small bowel Autoimmune disorder to rye, wheat, and
barley
-dermatitis herpetiformis is seen
how to test for Celiac
Serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) endomysial antibodies and IgA tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies.
Sensitivity and specificity > 95%
intussusception
- common 6-18 months
- preceded often by viral syndrome
- vomiting, abdominal pain, passage of blood per rectum
how to dx/tx intussception
- barium enema
- may show spring-coil sign
MCC LBO
adhesions
colon cancer in older folks
Most common cause of painless rectal bleeding in the pediatric population
polyps
how to tx cryptorchidism
orchiopexy ideally before 1 year old hCG or GRH hormones can be used to induce descension. May be used prior to surgery but not often
done
is a condition in which urine flows retrograde, or backward, from
the bladder into the ureters/kidneys
vesicoureteral reflux
This results from autoimmune antibody formation against host platelets. Occurs in acute
form and chronic form.
Clinical features: Petechiae and ecchymosis on the skin Bleeding of mucus membranes No splenomegaly
immune thrombocytopenia purpura
Plt <20K
tx w/steroids, IVIG
- rare disorder of platelet consumption
- hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute renal failure, fever, fluctuating, transient neurologic signs
thrombotic thrombocyopenia purpura
↓ Platelets + anemia + renal failure
HUS
