HIGH YIELD Flashcards
What post-MI complication presents ~1 week out with a “step-up” in oxygenation from RA to RV? Which with an equalization of pressures (PCWP=RA=RVEDP=LVEDP)
VSD –> step-up
tamponade –> equalization
Contrast/compare cluster HA vs paroxysmal hemicrania vs SUNCT in terms of:
- how long last
- how many times occur/day
- tx
bCLUSTER: lasts hours, 1-8x/day, O2, verapamil
p. HEMICRANIA: lasts ins, 1-40x/day, indomethacin
SUNCT: lasts secs,1-200x/day, lamotrigine
what is SE of topiramate?
kidney stones
compare the dix-hallpike for central and peripheral nystagmus with regards to direction, latency, duration and fatigable
CENTRAL: horiz/tors/VERTICAL, no latency, lasts >1 min, not fatiguable
PERIPHERAL: horiz/tors, up to 15 s latency, lasts
If someone has conductive hearing loss on the left, describe their weber and rinne.
affected ear on the left, Weber localizes left, BC>AC on Rinne
describe weber and rinner for SNL on the left.
weber localizes R, AC>BC on Rinne
give formula for NNT.
NNT = 1/ (ARcontr. - ARexp.)
compare/contrast physical exam for impingement vs AC joint degeneration
impingement: pain c. 60-120 abduction, + Neer, + Hawkins
degenerations: pain c 120+abduction, anterior pain, ?palpable osteophytes
what maneuver differentiates MVP from HOCM? How?
isometric handgrip increases afterload, improves outflow obstruction so makes HOCM better; worsens prolpase so makes MVP quierer
Give CI for TPA for
185/110, bleeding, s/sx of SAH
- labs: plts 1/3 of brain, AVM/aneurysm/mass
- histo: any h/o ICH, or ANY CVA w/in 90 days
3-4.5 above+:
age >80, any anticoag use, NIHSS >25, h/o DM + iCVA
give BP goals after stroke for:
- before TPA
- after TPA
- if TPA is CI
-before TPA:
compare/contrast presentation of MCA and ACA stroke
MCA: aphasia, homnymous hemianposia, ARM > LEG
ACA: LEG>ARM, tactile agnosia
CVA of which major vessel (ACA, MCA or PCA) involves no motor sx/
PCA - just sensory loss
compare/contrast presentation of primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency
both have hypotension,fatigue, nausea; PRIMARY only should have hyperpigmentation and salt-craving/orthstasis
What is the CD4:CD8 ratio on BAL for sarcoid? for hypersensitivity penumonitis?
sarcoid: >3.5
HP:
Nonsmoking worker (farmer, bird fancier, cheese factory worker) p/w flu-like sx, nl IgE, no eos and intersitiaonl lung pattern on CXR.
hypersensitivity pneumonitis
vesicles on the ear drum and PNA – what type PNA?
mycoplasma PNA
PNA with hemolytic anemia – what type PNA?
mycoplasma
PNA with widened mediastinum and hemoptysis – what type PNA? tx?
anthrax, tx with cipro
