Adenomyosis
- 50% have concurrent fibroids
- get bx to exclude endometrial CA
Fibroids = more irregular shaped uterus
- more mass effect sx - constipation, urinary frequency & NOT pain
Infertility, dysparenunia, dysmenorrhea in younger woman

- IVDU or DM w/ recent infection, fever, exquisite tenderness
- Mechanical - degen, spasm
- Disk herniation
- Compression fx
- Ankylosing - IBD, reactive, psoriatic = apophyseal joint arthritis
- CA
- Osteomyelitis
Persistent nosebleeds, ruby papules on lips, clubbing, polycythemia
Osler-Weber-Rendu = AVMs
—> shunt blood –> hypoxemia = clubbing and polycythemia, hemoptysis
Newborn w/ diffuse granular CXR, air bronchograms, hypoxemia dx and cause?
RDS
- prematurity, DM, C/S, asphyxia
Excess bleeding w/ normal PT, PTT, LFTs, platelet count
Inc Cr, BUN, BT
Uremic coagulopathy = renal failure –> platelet dysfxn
Tx = DDAVP which inc VIII & vWF
1st tx step in pt in HCV
Liver bx to guide tx
- severe inflammation and fibrosis –> cirrhosis BUT usually respond better to tx
- antivirals = peg-IF + ribavirin
HBV & HCV progression to HCC
HBV = w/o cirrhosis HCV = w/ cirrhosis = get US q6mo
Smoker + clubbing and sudden onset b/l wrist pain

Zinc deficiency
HTN + hypoK 1st step
Measure renin & aldosterone
Dec renin, inc aldo w/ A:R >20 cause, Aldo >15
Primary hyperaldosteronism –> adrenal CT
Inc in both renin and aldo w/ A:R ~10
Secondary hypseraldosteronism

EEG 3Hz spike and wave
Absence
- may have automatisms like lip smacking but DONT have post-ictal confusion
- Atypical is <2.5Hz
Kids, U/L or B/L jerking in the AM
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy - sleep deprivation
EEG slow spike and wave
Lennox-Gaustat
