increased
Decreased lung compliance is a common finding in individuals with: - - - -
pulmonary fibrosis, pneumothorax, pneumonia, or absence of surfactant (e.g., premature infants).
Tearing of the posterior urethra has as signs and symptoms:
inability to void despite urge, suprapubic pain, blood at the urethral meatus, scrotal and perineal ecchymoses, and a high-riding prostate,
Tearing of the posterior urethra Specific trauma Causes can be:
high-risk pelvic fractures like : (fractures of all four pubic rami)
Rupture of the bladder CxFx
urinary retention and suprapubic pain
gross hematuria
Rupture of the bladder causes
Pelvis Fracture
Abdominal Trauma
Tearing of the ureter cxfx
flank pain, a palpable flank mass (urine and blood), hematuria, and fever,
Tearing of the ureter causes
“very rarely by pelvis fracture” amboss
me: I think mainly abdominal trauma
Rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum is the cause of__________
penile fracture, caused by traumatic bending to an erect penis.
Rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum
penile hematoma or blood at the meatus in the case of concomitant urethral injury
Tearing of the anterior urethra CxFx
may cause inability to void, blood at the meatus, scrotal and perineal ecchymoses, and perineal tenderness.
Tearing of the anterior urethra Vs Posterior. CxFx. What’s the difference?
All like same except for Posterior Has: high-riding prostate!!!
An EV drug user individual who has infective endocarditis, is more likely to have as a complication:
Septic pulmonary embolism
___________ is the most common cause of acute infectious endocarditis in almost all groups of patients, including IV drug users
Staphylococcus aureus
foreign body infections such as prosthetic joint infections, endocarditis of prosthetic heart valves (within the first 60 days after surgery), and even intravenous drug users.
Are caused by:
Staphylococcus epidermidis.
But: this is not the most common cause for IV drug ussers.
Streptococcus gallolyticus is an uncommon cause of endocarditis that is associated with an increased risk of_____
colorectal cancer.
Enterococcus faecalis can be found in the colon and causes infections such as urinary tract infections, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and endocarditis in some cases, especially after ___________
genitourinary or gastrointestinal interventions
Streptococcus sanguinis. is the most common cause of infectious endocarditis of what kind?
Subacute.
This type occurs more often in patients with cardiac valve abnormalities.
Its insidious onset takes weeks or months.
Less commonly S. aureus and HACEK organisms can cause this kind of IE.
the classic triad of situs inversus, recurrent sinusitis, and bronchiectasis has to make you think about
Kartagener Syndrome.
A subtype of Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by absent or dysmotile cilia caused by a defect in the _________.
dynein arm of microtubules.
You can memorize the cause of Kartagener syndrome by thinking of Kartagener’s restaurant that only has ‘take-out’ service because there is no dine-in (dynein).
Infertility is also associated with Kartagener syndrome: in women due to ciliary defects in______, and in men due to ___________.
the fallopian tubes
immotile sperm.*******
