MIX 6 QBANK Flashcards
findings associated with Crohn’s disease compared ulcerative colitis
rectal sparing Granulomas Ulcerations Seizures Fistulous The abscess
differentiate hypertrophic scar versus keloid
both itchy
hypertrophic scars: developed in 6-8 weeks increased density or blood vessels increased myofiberblasts subside with time maintained boundaries of original scar associated with closing wound under tension
keloid, Developed months after injury DECREASED density of blood vessels NO myofiberblasts they do not regress grow outside of boundaries
mechanism of calcitonin
stimulated by high calcium level
para follicular cells of the THYROID
opposes PTH
increases excretion of phosphorus
inhibit osteoclasts
blood supply of gastric conduit
RIGHT is right
gastroepiploic
name trends of immuno drugs
inib - inhibitory
mumab = fully human
Hypermagnesemia
characterized by loss of deep tendon reflexes, paralysis, coma, hypotension and cardiac arrest. It may follow burn or crush injuries.
Hypokalemia symptoms include
paresthesia, weakness and flaccid paralysis. It may progress to cause ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Causes are numerous and include decreased renal function, ACE inhibitor medications, succinylcholine, and ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Actions and CCK
gallbladder contraction Sphincter of Odie relaxation Pancreatic enzyme stimulation Inhibits gastric emptying NOT related to bicarbonate
release from duodenum and jejunum
I cells
stimulated by fat, polypeptide, amino acid
causes of torsades de pointes
prolonged QT interval 500 msec or longer
hypokalemia
hypomagnesemia
renal failure
treatment of torsades the points
correct electrolytes
Increased heart rate - This shortened the ventricular repolarization
Magnesium sulfate
T-cell mediated rejection of the liver transplant
Most common time of presentation his first 10 days
30-50% within the first 6 months
treatment is increasing immunosuppression
unlike renal transplant does not affect overall graft survival!
Pathology findings:
Leukocytosis, eosinophilia, malaise
biopsy:
Portal leukocytosis, and ileitis, bile duct infiltration and damage
findings seen on chronic rejection of liver
increased total bilirubin
Increased alkaline phosphatase
Vanishing bile duct syndrome
Lymphocytic direct attacks on biliary ducts
No treatment except retransplantation
Treatment of post liver transplant biliary leak
a initial management nonoperative:
ERCP and stent
treatment of Graves disease possible complications
radioactive iodine
may make proptosis worse
vagus nerve innervated
epiglottis The larynx trachea Bronchi lung Esophagus heart Stomach mesentery Bowel
workup for suspected blunt cardiac injury
admission and followup in our EKG on suspected
admission EKG normal:
workup can be terminated
to have normal colon
Cardiac monitoring 24-48 hours
If unstable hemodynamic:
Echo - 2 transthoracic first batch is suboptimal, transesophageal
sternal fracture does not mandate continuous monitoring and EKG is normal - but if present and may suspect blunt cardiac injury and requires admission EKG
Troponin and CPK-MB not helpful
to her her to the
recommendations for treatment of C. difficile
mild to moderate:
Flagyl
recurrent:
Flagyl
severe case:
Vancomycin
management of hepatic artery aneurysm
require intervention:
2 cm or greater
Rupture
Symptomatic
Common hepatic artery aneurysm: Ligation or embolization only ONLY bypass if: Whipple ( no GDA) no ligation if: cirrhosis-ischemic compromise and encephalopathy
proper hepatic artery:
Requires bypass - GDA is proximal to this lesion
Reduction maneuver for posterior hip dislocation
opposite of defect:
Traction
Abduction
external rotation
associated injury with posterior hip dislocation
sciatic nerve
Femoral nerve
Obturator nerve ( careful, don’t confuse the obturator artery)
with
supracondylar fracture of the humerus associated injury
brachial artery
Volkmann’s contracture
distal radius associated injury
median nerve compression
anterior dislocation the shoulder associated injury
axillary nerve injury
histologic depth of deep second-degree burn
reticular dermis
weighted criteria for fistulotomy with intersphincteric fistula
minimally involvement of the external anal sphincter
when is a seton indicated
transsphincteric fistula
presumably involved external sphincter
initial management of transposition of the great vessels
keep PDA open:
PGE1 (prostaglandin)
This provided left to right shunt and improve symptoms
Definitive management of transposition of the great vessels
balloon atrial septoplasty percutaneously through umbilical or femoral vein
allows atrial mixing
Then discontinue prostaglandin
common associated injury with trauma splenectomy
pancreatic tail injury
plasma free metanephrine test
Pheochromocytoma
High sensitivity: 99% Lower specificity: 85% ( rules out patient's one positive because positive is positive) but if negative, still unsure: so need a 24-hour urine
24-hour urine metanephrine test
very high specificity and sensitivity
which imaging studies better to study anatomy of pheochromocytoma
CT is better than MRI!
