Mix3 Flashcards
Preferred therapies for HBV
Entecavir and tenofovir
Due to low resistance and the ability to be used in decompensated cirrhosis
Trichinosis
Intestinal stage(within 1wk): asymptomatic or abdominal pain, N/V, diarrhea
Muscle stage (within 3wk): fever, subungual hemorrhage, muscle pain/tenderness/swelling/weakness, periorbital edema, chemosis , conjunctival/retinal hemorrhage
Lab: eosinophilia >20%, increased CPK, increased WBC
Triad: periorbital edema, myositis, eosinophilia
INH induced peripheral neuropathy
Due to excretion of B6 with INH from kidneys
Higher risk if: DM, pregnant, malnourished, uremia, alcoholism, HIV, epilepsy
Numbness and tingling in a stocking-glove distribution
PEx: deficit in vibration and proprioception
Over time: affects touch, pain, temprature sensation
The most common behavioral RF for TB
Substance abuse
INH hepatitis management
Immediate discontinuation
More frequent if: alcoholic, liver disease, >50 yo
If subclinical hepatic injury by INH
No signs/symptoms of hepatitis
Liver enzymes < 100
In10-20% of pts
continue INH with close F/U
Next step after positive PPD?
CXR
Symptom review
Positive PPD in immigrant < 5y
10 mm
Positive PPD in IDU
10 mm
Positive PPD in DM
10 mm
Positive PPD in prolonged CS therapy
10 mm
Positive PPD in ESRD
10 mm
Positive PPD in leukemia
10 mm
Positive TB in children <4y
10 mm
Positive PPD in malabsorption syndromes
10 mm
5mm PPD is positive if:
HIV Organ transplant ImSup Changes consistent with previous TB on CXR Recent contact of known TB
Canadian vs US cutoff value for positive PPD
10 vs 15 (US)
Latent TB treatment
INH+ Rif weekly x 3mo under direct observation (not for HIV)
INH 6-9mo
Rifampin 4mo
INH + rif 4mo
Urine culture and gram smear in gonorrhea vs chlamydia
Negative smear and culture in chlamydia
Gram stain shows 95% of gonorrhea infection
UTI with urease producing bacterium
Urinary alkalization (pH>8)
Proteus mirabilis, klebsiella pneumoniae.
High pH reduces solubility of phosphate, raising the risk of struvite stones (Mg ammonia P)
Recommendation to pt with vaginal trichononiasis
Oral Metro or tinidazole Refrain from alcohol Treatment of partner (testing of partner is unnecessary) Abstain from sexual activity until both partners treated
Tx of choice for bacterial vaginosis
Oral metro.
Alternative: clinda
Autonomic control of erectile function
Sympathetic: T11-T12
Parasympathetic: S2-S4
Acute AUB in adolescents. Reasons
The most common: immature HPO axis resulting unovulatory cycles
Also: hemostasis disorders, pregnancy
Tx of acute AUB
If pt is hemodynamically stable:
IV/PO estrogen
High-dose OCP
High-dose progesterone pills (if estrogen contraindicated)
Tranexamic acid (if est and prog contraindicated)
If no response to medical management after 24-36 h: emergency dilation and curettage
Packed cell: if unstable
Prepubertal vaginal bleeding etiology
Estrogen withdrawal:
In neonatal period (first 2 wk)
<1 wk duration
Normal PEx (sometimes temporary breast buds, external genitalia engorgement)
Trauma:
Fall, sexual abuse
Malignancy:
e.g. rhabdomyosarcoma
<3 y
Protruding vaginal nodules
Dysmenorrhea+ heavy menstrual bleeding in a multiparus woman > 40
Adenomyosis
Small ovarian cyst in post menopausal women
Check CA-125
If no suspicion for malignancy (small size, no solid component, no septation) and negative CA-125: observe
Mechanism of amenorrhea caused by marijuana
Functional hypothalamic
FSH and LH levels in pituitary dysfunction
Very low (<5)
Mechanism of anenorrhea caused by obesity
Anovulation
FSH and LH: nl
Time of testis removal in AIS
After completion of puberty
The reason for irregular menses at the beginning of menarch
Inadequate FSH and LH, therefore lack of ovulation and lack of progesterone
Menses due to estrogen breakthrough bleeding
Tx of bartholin cyst
If asymptomatic: non
If symptomatic: I&D + word catheter
Breast abscess Tx
Needle aspiration under US guide
+ AB for surrounding mastitis
Trastuzumab (Herceptin)
For HER2 positive breast cancer
Cardiotoxic with other chemo agents
Requires echo before administration
The most common side effect of tamoxifen
Hot flashes
Other side effects: VTE, endometrial cancer
RFs of breast cancer
Alcohol consumption HRT Nulliparity Increased age at first live birth Genetic mutation White race Increasing age Early menarche, late menopause Obesity
Breast engorgement
Milk production > release No fever No erythema Usually bilateral If lactation cessation desired: Wearing a comfortable, supportive bra. Avoidance of nipple stimulation and manipulation. Ice pack NSAIDs Breast binding not recommended. Use of medication not supported.
Acoustic enhancement is indicative of
Fluid
A mass suspicious for fibroadenoma in a young woman (adolescent)
Re-examine over one menstrual cycle. If decreased in size/tenderness after the mense, reassurance.
If older than adolescent or if persistent mass, U/S. If results consistent with fibroadenoma no further W/U for adolescents.
Excisional Bx considered if adult or if very large mass
Tx of CIN3
Cervical conization with cold knife or LEEP
Mechanism of HTN by OCP
Increased angiotensin synthesis by estrogen during hepatic first-pass metabolism
OCP and risk of cervical cancer
Increases the risk
OCP and wt gain
No wt gain
Contraindicated contraception method in breast cancer
All hormonal methods: pills, rings, patches, IUDs…
Adverse effects if DES
Daughters:
Clear cell carcinoma of the vagina/cervix
Cervical/uterine malformations
Difficulty conceiving and maintaining pregnancy
Sons: Cryptorchidism Microphalus Hypospadiasis Testicular hypoplasia
Ovarian endometrioma on U/S
Homogenous cystic ovarian mass
Laparoscopy in endometriosis is necessary if:
Failure of medical Tx
Infertility
Adnexal mass
Breast fat necrosis
Post-trauma/surgery e.g. seatbelt injury Firm Fixed Skin/nipple retraction Calcification on mamo, hyperechoic
Which ovarian cysts may rupture?
Simple ovarian cysts
