Q

severe / refractory HTN and muscle weakness, dx? Tx?

A

Conn’s Syndrome aka Primary hyperaldosteronism (hypoK causes weakness)
Tx = spironolactone

22
Q

MCC death in MI patients

A

Vfib –> defibrillate

23
Q

ispilateral limb ataxia, contralateral eye deviation and paralysis, wheres the lesion?

A

Medial Pons

24
Q

Drugs for Tx of parkinson’s

A

DA agonists = levodopa/carbidopa, bromocryptine, amantadine
anticholinesterase = benztropine
MAO-B inhibitor = selegeline

25

B1 = tachycardia / increased SV
B2 = vasodilation and bronchodilation
27
Q

Narrow QRS with P waves buried in beggining of QRS (ie not discernable)? Tx?

A

AVNRT aka paroxysmal SVT (rentry causes simultaneous atrial and ventricular contraction)
stable = carotid massage/valsalva, adenosine
unstable = cardiovert

28
Q

TB pleural effusion vs. epyema

A

TB = VERY high protein (>4), LYMPHOCYTIC leukocytosis, glucose midly low

empyeme = VERY low glucose, frank prurulence and PMN dominant leukocytosis

29
Q

3 MCC foot drop

A

peripheral neuropathy
L5 radiculopathy
common peroneal nerve damage (fibula neck fx)

30
Q

Tx chronic stable angina

A

1st BB then +/- CCB

Nitrates used acutely

31
Q

kid, holosystolic murmur at LLSB and apical diastolic murmur

32
Q

Effect of chronic steroid use on muscles

A

steroid-induced myopathy = painless* proximal muscle weakness LE before UE
improves after d/c steroids

33
Q

systolic and diastolic abdominal bruit

34
Q

bilateral hip, thigh buttock claudication, impotence, symmetric atrophy BLE

A

aortoiliac occusion causing chronic ischemia

35
Q

Second line mood stabilizers

A

carbemazepine or valproate

36
Q

Tx hypertriglyceridemia

A

fibrates (fenofibrate or gemfibrozil) = LPL stimulators that increase HDL, decrease TG

37
Q

Dx criteria ARDS

A

acute onset

PaO2/FiO2 <18

38
Q

lifestyle mods for decreasing HTN in order of effectiveness (5)

A

weight loss > DASH diet > low salt diet/exercise > decrease alcohol intake

39
Q

electrical alternans suggests

A

pericardial effusion

40
Q

Dx spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

A

paracentesis w/ >250PMN, protein >1, glucose <50, LDH greater than serum

41
Q

3 tests before starting Lithium

A

Creatinine, TSH/T4, BhCG

42
Q

Tx vtach

A 
stable = amiodarone (2nd line lidocaine, procainamide)
unstable = cardiovert

A

long thoracic nerve –> winged scapula

44
Q

prominant x and y descents on JVP w/ early heart sounds following S2

A 
constrictive pericarditis (TB if outside US, viral in US)
early heart sound = pericardial knock
45
Q

Which type of bilirubin causes pruritus

A

direct (conjugated) bc conjugated bilirubin is water-soluble and thus floats freely in blood (unconjugated is bound to albumin)
