SB9 Flashcards
Confirmatory diagnosis for esophageal tear?
Water-soluble contrast
middle mediasternal mass diferencial?
Bronchogenic cyst Tracheal tumor Pericardial cyst Lymphoma LN enlargement Aortic aneurysm of the aortic arch
risk factor for bladder ca?
Smoking Work(Painter and metalworker) Chronic cystitis An iatrogenic drug-like CPD Pelvic radiation exposure
epidemiology of malignant hyperthermia?
Gen.Mutation alters control of intracellular Ca
Volatile anesthetics
Succinylcoline
Exessive heat
CM?
can occur during induction/maintenance or soon after cessation of GA Masseter muscle/generalized rigidity Sinus tachycardia Hypercapnia resistant to MV Rhabdomyolysis Hyperkalemia Hyperthermia(Late manifestation)
treatment?
Respiratory/ventilator suport
Immediate cessation of the causative agent
Dantrolene
Comma diagnosis finding?
Impaired brainstem activity
Motor dysfunction(decorticate/decerebrate rigidity)
LOC
Lymphangitis epidemiology?
Cutaneous injury–pathogen invasion of lymphatics in the deep dermis
S.Pyogenes and MSSA
CM?
Tender erythematous streak proximal to wound
Regional tender LDP
Systemic Sx(fever, tachycardia)
TX?
Cephalexin
what about sporotricosis?
Nodular(not streak) and develop within weeks(unlike days in lymphangitis)
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome(trochanteric bursitis)?
Age >=50
Wommen > Men
Obesity
Low bac & LE symptom
CM?
Chronic lateral hip pain
Pain on hip flexion and lying on the affected side
Normal range of motion(ABD may agravate pain)
diagnosis?
Focal tenderness on G.Trochanter are
X-Ray to r/o other joint disorder
U/S-Degeneration of tendon or tendinosis
tx?
Exercise, Physical therapy, activity modification
NSAID
Corticosteroid injuction
Pathophysiology?
Repetitive use of Gluteus medius and minimus
what about meralgia paresthetica (LFCN injury)?
Variable area MID lateral thigh pain
No trochanteric tenderness
Sternal dehiscence?
Separation of the approximated sternum in cardiac surgery.
COPD and Other factor affect wound healing are risks
Internal thoracic artery harvesting can cause sternal ischemia and it is a risk
CM?
pain or chest instability during chest movement
Palpable rocking or clicking on the sternum
can occur w/o superficial tissue infection/mediastinitis
Management?
Emergency(wire and bone fragment can damage cardia tissue)
Emergency wound exploration wound debridement, and sternal fixation
Compressive sternal dressing and negative pressure wound therapy?
Used in sternal wound failure to protect wound speed healing
Vertebral osteomyelitis RF?
Injection drug user(S.A MCC)
SCD
IC
Recent distant infection
CM?
Chronic(> 6 weeks), Insidious back pain unrelieved by rest Fever <50% Tenderness at spinal percussion Normal or elevated WBC Elevated ESR and Thrombocytosis
Diagnosis?
MRI
Management?
IV ab
May/may not need surgery
what about vertebral compression fracture?
Have the same Sx but VCF occur in an old patient with risk of osteoporosis
Medullary thyroid ca?
Tumors arise from thyroid parafollicular cells Calcitonin secreting(calcitonin measurement used for metastasis risk assessment recurrence)
Associated genetic abnormality?
RET proto-oncogene(MEN2 )
A–paratyroid and pheochoromocytoma
B–Pheochromocytoma and marfanoid habitus
CM?
Asymptomatic thyroid mass
Flushing and diarrhea(rarely)
Serum Ca usually normal due to downregulation of Calcitonin receptor
