Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated
LV outflow tract obstruction
What is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus?
Femoral nerve
Lumbar plexus arises from the
posterior division of the ventral rami of L2-L4
Popliteal triangle is formed by the
Biceps femorus muscle
Semimembranous/semitendinous muscles
Popliteal skin crease
Lateral approach to popliteal blockade is
Superior border of the patella
Lateral borders of vastus lateralis
Biceps femoris muscles
2 types of Hepatorenal syndrome
Type I and type II
Type 1 Hepatorenal syndrome is associated with
rapidly progressive associated with multi-organ failure. and very high mortality
Type 2 Hepatorenal syndrome is associated with
More slowly progressive with refractory ascites
Pierre Robin sequence is associated with
Glossoptosis
Micrognathia
Airway obstruction
Best position for Pierre Robin patients
Prone
Muscle weakness in Lambert Eaton syndrome
IgG antibodies to voltage-gated calcium channels.
MELD Score based
Serum Bilirubin
INR

Least Sodium content fluids
LR
NS has sodium concentration similar to
5% Albumin.
Blood flow changes approximately
1-2 ml/100g/min per mmHg change in PaCO2
ALS is an
Upper and lower motor neuron disease from degeneration of the lateral corticalspinal tracts in the spinal cord leading to skeletal muscle denervation.
ALS respiration includes
bulbar involvement including dysphagia and tongue fasciculations.
ALS and succinylcholine
Acute hyperkalemia
What is the primary inflammatory mediator implicated in disc herniation?
Phospholipase A2, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins and leukotrienes, is the primary inflammatory mediator implicated in disc herniation
