41
Q

Definition of COPD

Diagnosis of COPD

A

COPD = Chronic Bronchitis (>3 months of productive cough for 2 years) and Emphysema (dilation of post-terminal bronchiole 2/2 loss of elastase)

Diagnosis of COPD = SPIROMETRY with decrease FEV1&raquo_space;> decrease FVC = low ratio

42
Q

Diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease

  • Diagnostic Tests (3)
A
  • Clinical: leg pain worse with walking, relieved by rest. Neurogenic claudication occurs at rest and is often better with walking.
  • Diagnostics
    1. ABI <20 mmHg upon walking / exercise
43
Q

Woman with signs / symptoms of UTI:

  • DDx if Acute Onset
  • DDx if Progressive Onset
  • UA with pyuria but no growth on UCx =
A
Acute = classic UTI with GNR > S. Saprophyticus
Gradual = STI Urethritis (CT / GC, HSV)

*UA with Pyuria and No growth on UCx = Chlamydia

44

A

Primary

  • HIGH TSH with LOW T4
  • Follow Synthroid dosing with TSH levels

Secondary

  • LOW TSH with LOW T4
