Set 5 Flashcards
hypopigmented spots, axillary freckles, skin nodules, lisch nodules
NF 1 or 2
heart sound in MI
4th heart sound = atrial gallop (diastolic dysfxn and stiff LV)
Tx bradycardia
IV atropine (muscarinic antagonist –> decreases vagal influence on SA node) then transcutaneous pacing
amylase in left-sided pleural effusion (3)
esophageal rupture, pancreatitis (or ruptured pseudocyst), or cancer
Tx prinzmetals angina
CCBs and/or nitrates
infant with central vs. peripheral cyanosis
central = hypoxemia in arteries suggesting CHD (ex perioral cyanosis but warm extremities)
peripheral = low cardiac output causing low blood flow/ excessive vasoconstriction –> normal PaO2, cold, cyanotic distal extremities
macrocytic anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and decreased segmentation of PMNs
myelodysplastic syndrome
Deficiency seen in carcinoid syndrome
Niacin (its precursor, tryptophan, gets all used up to make serotonin)
MRI shows butterfly appearance with central necrosis
GBM
MRI shows heterogenous, serpiginous contrast enhancement
high grade astrocytoma
SLE patient taking hydroxychloroquine, what test does she need to have?
eye exams q6mo looking for retinopathy and/or corneal damage
akathisia vs. dystonia vs. tics vs. myoclonus vs. chorea
- akathisia - restlessness
- dystonia - sustained muscle contraction - twisting, repetitive movements, or abn postures. focal or diffuse. ex. torticollis
- athetosis - slow, writhing movements. ex. huntington’s. rett’s syndrome.
- tics - repetitive movements or vocalizations. ex. tourette’s
- myclonus - jerking movements
- chorea - brief, irreg, flowing movements
What is a sestamibi scan for?
direct treatment in patients with hyperPTH either sx or asx with Ca>11, GFR<60 +/- osteoporosis
Esophageal tests algorithim for ordering if broad ddx
Barium esophagram then EGD then esophageal motility
Esophageal varices vs Mallory-Weiss Tears?
varices = VEINS (2/2 portal HTN)
MWT = ARTERIES (2/2 mucosal tears from heaving)
HIV drug causing hypersensitivity syndrome
abacavir (NRTI)
Eggshell calcification of hepatic cyst? Tx?
hydatid cyst = Echinococcus (via dog exposure)
Tx = Careful surgical drainage w/ albendazole
At what cutoff is it ok to give bicarb for metabolic acidosis?
pH <7.2, ie severe
Proximal muscle weakness + elevated CK? Tx?
dermato/polymyositis
Tx HIGH dose steroids (vs PMR)
CI of triptans (3)
uncontrolled HTN, CAD, Pregnancy
HIV drug causing hematuria w/ crystal-induced nephropathy
Indinavir (Protease Inhibitor)
Calcium levels in alkalosis, why?
decreased due to higher affinity of albumin for calcium
abnormality in coagulation profile in lupus
prolonged PTT 2/2 anticardiolipin Ab
