also urease producing and urine alkalinizing
antigen 19-9 is…
pancreatic cancer… not sensitive enough for screening
TF
abstain from coitus with placenta previa, even early at 20 weeks
T
penile contact with cervix can disturb… cervix does not have to be dilated
no digital vaginal exams either
guy with history of asthma gets MI, started on aspirin metoprolol and lisinopril, gets a cough
which med responsible for cough
any of them
aspirin can exacerbate asthma especially with chronic rhinitis and nasal polyps
cardioselective beta1 blockers not as likely as non-selective but still can exacerbate asthma
acei angioedema you know
TF
need fever and guarding/rebound tenderness to suggest spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
F
temp ^100.0
abdominal pain/tenderness but does not have to be peritonitic
how can spontaneous bacterial peritonitis manifest on abdominal xr
why
dilated loops of large bowel with air in colon and rectum
paralytic ileus
sounds PID-ish but now there is pleuritic RUQ pain
think
treat
perihepatitis/fitz-hugh-curtis disease from PID (GC)
treat the PID with hospitalization and the usual (ceftri plus azythro or doxy)
you are thinking acute viral hepatitis for RUQ pain with recent travel… what skin and stool findings do you look for
jaundice
changes in stool color
why can get hypotension with epidural in labor
bock nerves including sympathetics, vasodilation, venous pooling
pt v40yo, low back pain worse at night improves with exercise, dyspnea on exertion, inflammation at tendon insertions, systemic fever chills weight loss fatigue, eye pain photophobia blurry vision… maybe even IBD or aortic regurge….
think
PFTs
serum marker
ankylosing spondylitis
sacroiliitis limited spine mobility and chest (fixed chest but not pulmonary fibrosis usually, but sometimes) expansion enthesitis uveitis
restrictive pft pattern
HLA-B27 serum marker

most common cause of B12 deficiency in Whites with
Northern European backgrounds especially
AI disease - eg thyroiditis and vitiligo
shiny tongue (atrophic glossitis)
shuffling broad based gate (ataxia) and position and vibratory sense abnorms
megaloblastic anemia - megaloblasts and hypersegmented neutrophils
thrombocytopenia and leukopenia too if severe
how many years of pure vegan diet to delete b12 stores (b12 found only in meat and dairy)
5 years
2 major side effects of isoniazid
peripheral neuropathy and hepatotoxicity
megaloblastic anemia atrophic glossitis (shiny tongue) vitiligo thyroid disease neurologic abnormalities
think
what demo
pernicious anemia
whites with northern european ancestry
Normal post void residual (ml) male vs female
v50 male
v150 female
Preggo confusion falling nausea vomiting nystagmus low chloride high bicarb… maybe hypokalemia hypoglycemia elevated transaminases
Think
Treat
Wernicke encephalopathy -ams gait ataxia nystagmus From thiamine deficiency From hyperemesis gravidarum -dehydration, hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis elevated transams from vomiting
Treat with fluids antiemetics Thiamine Then glucose
Suspect acute fatty liver of pregnancy given nausea vomiting hypoglycemia elevated transaminases starting when in pregnancy
3rd trimester for acute fatty liver of pregnancy… so after like 24 weeks

suggests
Prognosis
Treatment
aka “Soap bubble” appearance
(expansile and eccentrically placed lytic lesion of epiphysis of long bone)
Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
(tumor of osteoclasts)
Benign but locally aggressive
Curettage and bone grafting
Hyperparathyroidism from parathyroid carcinoma causing widespread bone resorption and replacement with fibrosis (brown tumors) describes this condition
Osteotis fribrosis cystica
Sclerotic cortical bone lesion with central lucency, pain worse at night not related to activity, improves with nsaids suggests
Osteoid osteoma
Fetal growth restriction defined by what weight percentile
v10th percentile
TF
well controlled hypertension in pregnancy can still cause fetal growth restriction
What pattern of fgr does hypertension cause
T
even well controlled can still cause spiral artery abnorms and fgr
Assymmetric fgr (abdomen relatively smaller than head… because abdominal growth happens 2nd 3rd trimesters and if htn or another placental insufficiecy blood to head and chest will be prioritized
vs Symmetric fgr in congenital disorders or infections
TF
Caffeine assoc with fetal growth restriction
F
Not caffeine… Smoking alcohol cocaine though yes
4 main substrates for gluconeogenesis
Where they come from
Where they enter pathway
Alanine from muscle breakdown, converted to pyruvate
Glutamine from muscle breakdown, enters kreb cycle
Glycerol3phosphate, from fat breakdown, enters higher up than pyruvate
Lactate from anaerobic metabolism, converted to puruvate
TF
Intensive bp control for diabetic nephropathy
T
The most important factor to slow progression
v130/80 for diabetic nephropathy
v140/90 for dm in general
So start acei arb (carefully because can acutely decrease gfr)
How to know large axonopathy vs small axonopathy in diabetic neuropathy
Small axonopathy positive symptoms pain paresthesias allodynoa
Large axonopathy Negative symptoms numbness loss of vibratory and proprioception loss of ankle reflexes
What serum pH to give bicarb for gap metabolic acidosis for underlying reason that has been resolved (eg seizure since stabilized)
v7.1 give bicarb
Otherwise recheck q2h… should resolve unless underlying reason not addressed yet
4 compx of epo administration
Worsening htn
Headaches
Flu-like symptoms
red cell aplasia rare
Give epo in ckd if hb and hct are
v10 or 30%
Differentiate
Hashimoto thyroiditis
Painless thyroiditis
Dequervain thyroiditis
By Aka hypo vs hyperthyroid symptoms Tenderness TPO antigen positivity RadioIodine uptake ESR CRP elevation
Hashimoto thyroiditis - chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, hypothyroid, tpo ab positive, riu variable
Painless thyroiditis - silent thyroiditis (variant of chronic ai hashimoto thyroiditis), mild brief spontaneously recovered hyperthyroid, nontender, positive tpo ab, low riu
Dequervain thyroiditis - subacute granulomatous thyroiditis, postviral fever and hyperthyroid, tender, elevated esr crp, low riu
Graves is ___thyroidism
Graves is HYPERthyroidism
Strumaovarii is ___toxicosis from __ production by ___
Strumaovarii is THYROtoxicosis from THYROID HORMONE production by OVARIAN TERATOMA
How to decide if esophageal injury from caustic ingestion in hemodynamically stable patient requires supportive care or tube feeds and possible surgery (esophagectomy)
EGD within 12-24 hours to assess extent if damage
TF
Activated Charcoal for Lye ingestion
F
Lye (hydroxide, alkalai) causes mucosal contact damage, not systemic absorption damage
Activated charcoal prevents systemic absorption poison damage

TB can have a diffuse reticulonodular pattern on cxr
T
Miliary tb
Mycoplasma pna symptoms usually limited to ___ weeks
2-3 weeks
treat old guy with ams glucose 1000 normal pH bicarb gap
Stepwise, Most Important Initial Step
HHS
1 AGGRESSIVE NS IV FLUID REPLACEMENT
-very hyperosmolar which prob also caused tons diuresis and dehydration so THIS FIRST

15 yo girl concerned about what is porbably a fibroadenoma of the breast. Reassure and do nothing or follow up after next menses?
Follow up
If improved reassure
If persistent, ultrasound. If fibroadenoma, reassure
Treat woman with breast engorgement seeking lactation suppression after her baby died
Bra
Ice packs
Nsaids
Avoid stim
No medical suppression – engorgement provides its own negative feedback and suppression will happen
And eg bromocriptine dopamine agonism has side effects
