Set 1 Flashcards
Tx RLS
DA agonist (pramipexole, ropinerole) or Levadopa
DDx low calcium AND low phopshate (3)
Vit D deficiency, malabsorption, pancreatitis
3 causes HIV retinitis, differences
CMV= painLESS, no conjunctivitis or keratitis HSV/VZV= retinal necrosis, pain, keratitis/uveitis
skin AND organ lesions with hemorrhage in HIV patient? Dx, Tx?
Bacillary angiomatosis (Bartonella)
Dx careful bx
Tx oral erythromycin
Screening and Confirmation of acute cholycystitis
screening = US, labs confirm = ERCP/HIDA
Causes of Erythema Nodosum (6)
Infxn = strep, TB, histoplasmosis
systemic d/s= sarcoidosis, IBD, Behcet’s
Oral ulcers, genital ulcers AND uveitis
Behcet’s vasculitis (+ erythema nodosum and other SYSTEMIC sx)
atypical lymphocytes but NEGATIVE heterophile antibody test
CMV monoucleosis
Infertility, recurrent URI/sinusitis +/- situs inversus
Kartagener’s Syndrome (immotile cilia 2/2 dynein arm defect)
ABRUPT fever with AMS and + babinski? Dx, Tx?
HSV encephalitis (temporal lobes)
FIRST start IV acyclovir if high suspicion
THEN dx with CSF PCR (not cx)
Northeastern tick-borne disease with fever AND hemolytic anemia? Tx?
Babesiosis, Tx quinine
hemoptysis and normal CXR in young, non-smoker? MCC?
Acute bronchitis. MCC viral > bacterial
IF bacterial:
non-smokers = MYCOPLASMA
smokers = pneumococcus or H. influ
Anti-smooth muscle Ab’s
Mother F-ing AI Hepatitis
If COPD patient is hypercapnic after initiating tx for acute exacerbation, tx?
NIPPV if ~stable, otherwise intubate
Tx hyperkalemia
- Calcium gluconate (stabilizes membranes)
- Insulin AND glucose (drive K+ intracellularly)
- Na polysterene sulfonate (kayexalate)
Electrolyte disturbance caused by multiple blood transfusions
hypocalcemia (ionized) 2/2 binding with citrate
External validity
Generalizability (to other studies/populations)
Nausea, dizziness, HA, polycythemia
HIGH suspicion of CO poisoning
complication of cardiac catheterization? S/s?
cholesterol emboli (any organ, BLUE TOE syndrome, livedo reticularis*) labs = eosinophils, decreased complement levels
patient with acute exacerbation of COPD develops AMS or seizures? Tx?
hypercapnia / CO2 narcosis; can be induced by TOO MUCH O2 (decreases body endogenous response to hypoxia, decreased affinity of Hb for O2 in acute-on-chronic COPD).
Tx = O2 sat b/w 90-94%
