OME/Books Flashcards
hyperthyroidism then RAIU cold thyroid
hashimotos (t4 leaks out then shrivels)
multinodal goiter vs toxic adenoma
multiple in multinodal
one in toxic adenoma
woman in health care field, has body image issue, then has hyperthyroidism
struma ovarii (check ovary scan)
OR
FACTICIOUS CONSUMPTION T4
rx thyroid storm
- COOL THEM DOWN, IVF
to help hypotension - beta blocker to reduce autonomic symptoms
- PTU/methimazole
- steroids (reduce peripheral conversion of T4)
- beta blocker to reduce autonomic symptoms
rx multinodal goiter, struma ovarii, toxic adenoma
radioactive iodine ablation
PTU/methimazole (thiodamides)
TPO antibodies
hashimoto’s or grave’s
MCC hypothyroidism
hashimoto’s (get TPO/TSI)
hypo version of thyroid storm
myexedma coma (coma, hypotension, hypothermia)
give IVF, blankets, IV T4/T3
recent stressor/surgery/infection, patient develops hypotension, diffuse abdominal pain/tenderness, fever
acute adrenal insufficiency
rx with dex/hydrocortisone
risk factors for preterm delivery
- PRIOR HX OF PRETERM
- multiple gestation
- hx cervical surgery (i.e. cold knife cone)
imaging to evaluate risk of preterm delivery
TVUS for measurement of cervical length
what to give @ 24 weeks to lower risk of preterm delivery
progesterone ingestion (maintains uterine quiescene and decreases risk preterm delivery)
what to watch out for in acyclovir
crystal induced AKI
watch out for kidney stones that can cause obstruction
patient with nephrotic syndrome develops acute abdominal pain, fever, hematuria
RVT
a/w MEMBRANOUS GLOMERULOPNEPHROPATHY
sudden onset acanthosi nigracans OR any explosive onset of sebhorric derm a/w?
underlying malignancy
normal acanthosis usually in younger patients, insulin resistant states
anti TPO antibodies a/w with higher risk of?
miscarriage
transferrin sautration = ?
Iron/TIBC
MCC cervical lymphadenitis in children
staph aureus (think bacterial infection)
what to do when you find hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule on biopsy
treat hyperthyroid
LOW RISK MALIGNANCY
