R&E F,G,H part Flashcards
dx or imaging soft tissue lesion how
MRI
inflammatory vs non-inflammatory joint disease on history
inflam =
- swelling with the pain
- constitutional symptoms (fever, anorexia, fatigue)
- morning stiffness 30 min + morning pain
- wake up at night
- better with mobility
vertebral fracture management
- rule out pathology
- send home with tylenol
rhabdomyolysis triad
- generalized weakness
- myalgias
- dark urine
dx of bone tumors is done how
XR
shoulder dislocation most common type
anterior (90%)
shoulder dislocation associated problems
- Bony Bankart (fracture of anterior glenoid rim)
- Hill-Sachs impression fracture (posterior humeral head)
osteosarcoma most common site
distal femur
osteosarcoma most common age of presentation
10-20 yo
Ewing sarcoma what bones
diaphyseal bones
- femur
- tibia
- humerus
Ewing sarcoma most common age of presentation
10-20 yo
Ewing sarcoma pathology
large soft tissue reaction
Ewing sarcoma how good XR is
not the best bc underestimates the large soft tissue reaction
chondrosarcoma what bones
- hip
- shoulder
- proximal long bones
chondrosarcoma common age of pres
40-60 yo
chondrosarcoma appearance on XR
lytic lesions often with fracture
osteoporosis who do you treat
high risk patients
osteoporosis def of high risk patients
either of
- had >1 non vertebral fragility fracture
- has had 1 vertebral or hip fracture
inflammatory vs non inflam joint disease on PE
inflammatory = -pain worse with rest -warm -PIPs non inflammatory = -cold deformed -DIP
how to treat inflammatory joint disease like RA
anti-inflammatories
- steroids
- immune modulation
- DMARD (like methotrexate)
how to treat non inflam joint disease like OA
analgesics (acetaminophen, topical NSAID)
febrile neutropenia def
- fever (>38.3 once or >38 twice on 1 hour+ inteval)
- ANC<500
feb neut management and why
- emergency IV Abx. want to cover gram+ and gram-
- blood culture
- CXR
how do you take the temperature in feb neut
NOT RECTAL. anything else
feb neut: management if fever persists or recurs after droping
suspect fungal infection
most common UTI bacteria
E.coli
rule in tx UTIs and how do you treat
TX ONLY IF SYMPTOMATIC
-Septra (sulfamethoxazole-trimethroprim)
strep throat management and why
- ALWAYS tx with Abx
- bc can progress to rheumatic fever
rheumatic fever is what
- type 2 hypersensitivity reaction
- caused by molecular mimicry
management of fever in returning traveller
suspect malaria***
(Dengue if SE Asia)
-even if fever with something else (don’t forget there’s fever so don’t think of another disease before malaria)
important parasite to avoid in pregnancy, why and how
- toxoplasma
- because crosses the placenta
- avoid changing cat litter boxes
maternal-fetal transmission main organisms
TORCH
- toxoplasma
- (others like varicella)
- rubella
- cytomegalovirus
- herpes and HIV
only DROP FORM Abx (2 names) you can give for otitis externa
fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin)
why can’t give DROP FORM Abx other than fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin) in otitis externa
if there’s tympanic membrane perforation that you saw or didn’t see, giving will cause
treatment of otitis media
amoxicillin per os
a patient has a positive PPD test for TB: next step in management
CXR
latent TB (TB infection): risk of converting to tuberculosis (active TB) and specific case
- 10%
- >10% if have HIV
latent TB (TB infection treatment)
optional isoniazid for 9 mo or rifampin 4 mo
how UTIs are diagnosed
- leukocyte esterase
- nitrites
meningitis signs on PE
- neck stiffness
- Brudzinski’s sign
- Kernig’s sign
lumbar puncture of a bacterial meningitis and how it compares to LP for viral meningitis
- increased pressure (not in viral)
- WBCs present
- protein present (not in viral)
- low glucose (not in viral)
- VIRAL = ONLY HAS WBCs*
meningitis treatment
- cefotaxime or ceftriaxone AND vancomycin if older than 1 mo
- cefotaxime or ceftriaxone and AMPICILLIN if <1 mo
- *IV dexamethasone (CS) as adjuvant therapy in certain cases to decrease brain inflamamtion and prevent neurological damage
when give IV dexamethasone as adjuvant tx in meningitis and why
- Strep pneumo in adult
- H influenza in kid
- GEL (GBS (like agalactiae), E.coli, Listeria) in <1 mo
- to decrease brain inflamamtion and prevent neurological damage*
