What lab test is critical for distinguishing gout from septic arthritis
Define Chondrocalcinosis and when is it seen?
Gram stain and culture
CPDD
Radiographic findings of punctate/linear calcification of articular cartilage and internal joint structures
What 4 metabolic d/os are associated with CPDD
How is gout treated?
Hyperparathyroid, Hypothyroid, Hypophosphaasia, Hemochromatosis
1st- Indomethacin, Naproxen,
2nd- Colchicine, PO glucocorticoids, injections
Long term- Allopurinol, Probenecid
How do long term gout control meds work?
Probenecid- inc urine excretion of uric acid, not for PTs w/ renal insufficiency
Allopurinol- XOI, decreases production of uric acid from purine synthesis; not used in acute settings

What is better for PTs w/ renal issues?
Enoxaparin
Enoxaparin and heparin
Heparin is used for PTs w/ renal insufficiency
What agent is most commonly used for anti-coagulation?
What is this drug best for?
Warfarin w/ target INR 2-2/5
Prevents proximal clots in PTs undergoing hip arthroplasty
? and mechanical prophylaxis are effective when combined for DVT prevention
How does mechanical prophylaxis reduce VTE Dz?
ASA
Secondary to increased fibrinolysis and decreased stasis w/ accelerated venous emptying

Anterior longitudinal ligament and peripheral disc margins
What are the principles Sxs of DISH
What non-CN Sxs can present
