Last minute Flashcards
Multiple Myeloma
(Plasma Cell Myeloma)
Cancer of plasma cells
* Bone resorption & replaced by bone marrow
* Amyloidosis of tongue
* Punched-out RL on skull
* Dx: Bence Jones Proteins in urine
Multiple Myeloma: Pt Considerations
WBC< 2,000:
* AB prophylaxis
Platelet Count < 50,000
* Platelet Transfusion before invasive surgical procedures
Peptic Ulcer Disease
Causes:
* H. Pylori (most common)
* Chronic NSAIDs
Multiple Myeloma: Tx
Thalidomide:
* Inhibits TNF-a & IL-6 secretion
Bortezomib:
* Protease inhibitor
Bisphosphonates:
* Osteoclast apoptosis
Peptic Ulcer Disease: Tx
Antiacids
Ranatidine:
* H2 receptor antagonist
Omeprazole:
* PPI: Proton Pump Inhibitor
Tuberculosis
Cause:
* Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Transmission:
* Droplet nuclei (air)
Latent TB:
* no growth
* asymptomatic
* Can’t spread
* Tx: Isonazid
Active TB:
* Grows
* symptomatic
* Can spread
Tx: (TRIP)
* Isonazid
* Rifampin
* Pyrazanamide
* Thembutol
Tuberculosis: Pt Considerations
Active TB:
Elective–> Defer & refer
Urgent:
* Isolated Op
* Standard precautions + N95
Latent TB
* No mods
Pregnancy Complications
Preeclampsia:
* High BP
* Proteinurea
* Edema
* Blurred Vision
Pregnancy: Drug Categories
A: No risk
* Folic Acid
* Levothyroxine
* Isonizad
B: Usually safe
* Acetaminophen
* NSAIDs (1st & 2nd)
* Lidocaine
C: Use w/caution
* Glucocorticoids

* Nitrous Oxide (1st)
D: Avoid
* Aspirin (3rd trimester)
* NSAID (3rd trimester)
* Doxycycline
* Tetracycline (2nd/3rd)
* Diazepam/Clorazepam
X: Contraindicated
* Trazoloam

Pregnancy: Supine Hypotensive Syndrome
Uterus compresses aorta & inferior vena cava
Tx: Left lateral Decubitis (Turn on left side)
Pregnancy: Pt considerations
Relcine instead of supine
* Monitor BP
* Radiographs only when needed (Thyroid collar+Lead apron)
Avoid:
* elective dental care (1st & 2nd half of 3rd)
* Nitroous Oxide: (1st)
* Xs Fl: (2nd/3rd)
* NSAIDs (3rd)
* Benzodiazepines
Pregnancy: Oral Manifestations
Gestational Gingivitis
Pyogenic Granuloma
Increased Caries Risk
Hypersensitive Gag Reflux
Parasomnia
Sleepwalking
Night terros
Sleep-related breathing disorders
Snoring
CSA
OSA
Sleep-related movement disorders
Restless leg syndrome
Nocturnal Bruxism
Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Walk disorders
Jet Lag
Shift work
CSA
Central Sleep Apnea
* CNS Issue
Temporarily No Inspiration=Stops airflow
* Pliomyelitis
* Spincal Cord injury
* Encephalitis
OSA
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Physical obstruction=Stops airflow
* Nasopharyngeal
* Oropharyngeal
* Hypopharyngeal
Apnea vs Hypopnea
Apnea:
* No airflow for at least 10 s
Hypopnea:
* Reduced airflow for at least 10 s
Respiratory efforet related arousal (RERA)
Increased respiratory effect for at lest 10 s
*leads to arousal
Apnea-Hypopnia Index (AHI)
(#apnea+ #hypopnea)/ Hrs of sleep
Adults:
* Mild: 5-15 episodes/hr
* moderate: 15-30
* severe: 30+
Child:
* Mild: 1-5
* Moderate: 5-10
* SeveRE: 10+
Hepatitis

Causes:
* Hepatitis virus (Most common)
* Heavy alc
* some Chemical
Transmission: Contaminated-Blood Direct fEcAl-oral
* Hep A: Fecal-oral
* Hep B: contaminated blood
* Hep C: Contaminated blood
* Hep D: Direct contact + prior infeciton w/Hep B
* Hep E: Fecal oral
Hep A
Vaccine
Symptomatic:
* Jaundice
* Fever
Transmission: Fecal-oral
Hep B
DNA Virus:
* DANE particle
Transmission: High risk (30%)
* contaminated blood
Sympatomatic
Vaccine
* OSHA-requires vacine available to employee
Surface Antigen(HBsAg): Infectious
Surface Antibody(anti-HBs): Immunity
Core Antibody (anti-HBc): History, persistent
IgM Antibody: (IgM anti-HBc): History, temporary
Hepatitis: Pt considerations
Active Hep
Elective: Defer & Refer
Urgent:
* Isolated Op
* Standard Precautions
* Minimal aerosol
* Avoid drugs metabolized in LIVER
Recovered from HEP:
* No Tx mods
Diabetes: Pt Considerations
Well Controlled:
Short AM Appts
Normal Insulin & Meals before
Use glucometer before
Avoid:
* NSAIDs w/sulfonyureas
* glucocorticoids
* Levofloxacin
Poorly Controlled
Elective: Defer tx
Urgent:
* Asymptomatic: remove infection & refer to DR
* Symptomatic (Ketoacidosis): Immediate referall to ER
