1
Q

supernumerary nipples

A

one or more extra or are located along the “milk line” (Fig.18-4). Usually, only a small nipple and areola are present, often mistaken for a common mole. They may be familial, and, in the absence of associated glandular tissue, there is little evidence of association with other congenital anomalies

Q

The best time for breast examination in a patient who is still menstruating

A

is 5 to 7 days after the onset of menstruation because breasts tend to swell and become more nodular before menses from increasing estrogen stimulation. For postmenopausal women and for men, any time is appropriate.

Q

Retraction Signs

A

As breast cancer advances, it causes fibrosis (scar tissue). Shortening of this tissue produces dimpling, changes in contour, and retraction or deviation of the nipple. Other causes of retraction include fat necrosis and mammary duct ectasia.

Q

Visceral pain

against their capsules. Visceral pain is usually gnawing,
cramping, or aching and is often difficult to localize (hepatitis)

solid organs that affect the parietal peritoneum. Parietal pain

innervation from the same spinal level (gallbladder pain in the
shoulder)

55
Q

functional, or non-ulcer, dyspepsia

A

, defined as a 3-month history of nonspecific upper abdominal discomfort or nausea not attributable to structural abnormalities or peptic ulcer disease (PUD

56
Q

Heartburn

A

is a rising retrosternal burning pain or discomfort occurring weekly or more often. It is typically aggravated by foods such as alcohol; chocolate; citrus fruits; coffee; onions; and peppermint; or positions like bending over, exercising, lifting, or lying supine.

57
Q

odynophagia

A

Pain with swallowing ()

58
Q

RLQ pain or pain that migrates from the periumbilical region, combined with nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite is suspicious for

A

appendicitis

59
Q

Peritonitis

A

is marked by severe diffuse abdominal pain with guarding and rigidity on examination

60
Q

obstipation

A

(severe constipation with inability to pass both stool and gas

61
Q

pointing below the sternoclavicular notch suggests

A

esophageal dysphagia

62
Q

Carotenemia

A

, the presence of the orange pigment carotene in the blood due to ingestion of carrots, presents as a yellow discoloration of the skin, especially palms and soles, but not the sclera or mucous membranes

63
Q

stress incontinence

A

, increased abdominal pressure causes bladder pressure to exceed urethral resistance—there is poor urethral sphincter tone or poor support of bladder neck

64
Q

urge incontinence

A

, urgency is followed by involuntary leakage due to uncontrolled detrusor contractions that overcome urethral resistance.

65
Q

overflow incontinence

A

, neurologic disorders or anatomic obstruction from pelvic organs or the prostate limit bladder emptying until the bladder becomes overdistended

66
Q

Functional incontinence

A

e arises from impaired cognition, musculoskeletal problems, or immobility

A

acute pyelonephritis

A

Cushing syndrome

69

A

intestinal obstruction or paralytic ileus

70
Q

Risk factors for AAA are

A

age ≥65 years, history of smoking, male gender, and a first-degree relative with a history of AAA repair.

71
Q

positive Murphy sign

A

A sharp halting in inspiratory effort due to pain from palpation of the gallbladder on examination is a

72
Q

Umbilical Hernia

A

A protrusion through a defective umbilical ring. When present in infants, it usually closes spontaneously within 1–2 yrs.

73
Q

Incisional Hernia

A

This is a protrusion through an operative scar. Palpate to detect the length and width of the defect in the abdominal wall. A small defect, through which a large hernia has passed, has a greater risk for complications than a large defect.

74
Q

Epigastric Hernia

A

A small midline protrusion through a defect in the linea alba occurs between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus. With the patient coughing or performing a Valsalva maneuver, palpate by running your fingerpad down the linea alba.

75
Q

Diastasis Recti

A

Separation of the two rectus abdominis muscles, through which abdominal contents form a midline ridge typically extending from the xiphoid to the umbilicus and seen only when the patient raises the head and shoulders. Often present in patients with repeated pregnancies, obesity, and chronic lung disease. It is clinically benign.

76
Q

Lipoma

A

Common, benign, fatty tumors usually in the subcutaneous tissues almost anywhere in the body, including the abdominal wall. Small or large, they are usually soft and often lobulated. Press your finger down on the edge of a lipoma. The tumor typically slips out from under your finger and is well demarcated, nonreducible, and usually nontender.

77
Q

Bruits in bowel

A

A hepatic bruit suggests carcinoma of the liver or cirrhosis. Arterial bruits with both systolic and diastolic components suggest partial occlusion of the aorta or large arteries. Such bruits in the epigastrium are suspicious for renal artery stenosis or renovascular hypertension.

78
Q

Friction Rubs in bowel

A

Friction rubs are grating sounds with respiratory variation. They indicate inflammation of the peritoneal surface of an organ, as in liver cancer, chlamydial or gonococcal perihepatitis, recent liver biopsy, or splenic infarct. When a systolic bruit accompanies a hepatic friction rub, suspect carcinoma of the liver.

79
Q

Acute Salpingitis

A

Frequently bilateral, the tenderness of acute salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) is usually maximal just above the inguinal ligaments. Rebound tenderness and rigidity may be present. On pelvic examination, motion of the cervix and uterus causes pain.

80
Q

Acute Pancreatitis

A

In acute pancreatitis, epigastric tenderness and rebound tenderness and localized guarding are usually present, but the abdominal wall may be soft.

81
Q

Acute Diverticulitis

A

Acute diverticulitis is a confined inflammatory process, usually in the left lower quadrant, that involves the sigmoid colon. If the sigmoid colon is redundant there may be suprapubic or right-sided pain. Look for localized peritoneal signs and a tender underlying mass. Microperforation, abscess, and obstruction may ensue.
