STEP 2 CK Flashcards
rWhat are the clinical features of TTP?
- Hemolytic anemia 2. Thrombocytopenia 3. Mild acute renal failure 4. fever 5. transient neurologic signs.
How do you treat TTP?
- Plasmapheresis 2. Corticosteroids and splenoctomy 3 NO PLATELET TRANSFUSIONS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE PLATELET THROMBI OCCLUDING SMALL VESSELS
MEN Type I
Primary Hyperparathyroidism enteropancreatic tumor pituitary tumors
MEN Type 2a
Medullary thyroid cancer pheochromocytoma parathyroid hyperplasia
MEN Type 2b
Medullary thyroid cancer pheochromocytoma other ( mucosal and intestinal neuromas and marfanoid habitus)
Wells Criteria
Score 3 pts if: clinical signs of DVT, no alternative ddx Score 1.5 pts if: previous PE or DVT, HR more than 100, recent surgery or immobilization Score 1 pt if: hemoptysis or cancer 6 high risk
Common Variable Immunodeficiency
Normal B and T, but all Igs are low Presentation: any sex and chronic sinopulmonary problems Treat with IVIG
X Linked Bruton Agammaglobulinemia
Low B cells and low lymphoid tissues Normal T cells Only in males Treat with IVIG
SCID
Low B and T cells Treat with bone marrow transplant
IgA deficiency
gave someone blood and now they got a rxn. wash that blood.
Will also see giardia, because IgA is in the bowel
Hyper IgE syndrome
Skin infections with Staph maybe prophalactically treat with dicloxacilin or cephalexin
Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome
Exczema and thrombocytopenia. . Need Bone Marrow transplant
Chronic granulamatous disease
Lymph nodes with purulent material. Will see weird organisms like: staph, nocardia, aspiregellus and burkholderia.
Kussmall sign
increase in JVP on inhalation, signs of constrictive pericarditis.
S4
sound of a atrial systole as blood is ejected from the atrium into a stiff ventricle. Associated with acute coronary syndrome.
V2 to V4
anterior wall of the left ventricle. worse place for an MI
II, III, and avF
Inferior wall of the left ventricle
V1 and V2
posterior wall MI
Aortic stenosis (maneuvers)
Squatting/leg raising and amyl nitrate, WILL INCREASE Standing/Valsalva and Handgrip WILL DECREASE
Mitral stenosis (maneuvers)
Squatting/leg raising WILL INCREASE Standing/valsalva WILL DECREASE
Mitral and Aortic regurg (maneuvers)
Squatting/leg raising and handgrip WILL INCREASE Standing/valsalva and amyl nitrate WILL DECREASE
Mitral valve prolapse and HOCM (maneuvers)
Squatting/leg raising and handgrip WILL DECREASE Standing/valsalva and amyl nitrate WILL INCREASE
Syphillis in babies
Rash on the palms and soles, snuffles, frontal bossing, Hutchinson eigth nerve palsy and saddle nose
Rubella in babies that are just born
PDA, cataracts, deafness, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, blueberry muffin rash, and hyprbilirubinemia.
CURB65
If you have 2 or more admit: Confusion Uremia Respiratory distress BP low >65
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (Presentation)
Women in 40s or 50s Fatigue and itching Normal bilirubin and elevated alk phos high IgM levels Xanthelasma/Xanthoma Osteoporosis Postive antimitochondrial antibody (most accurate blood test) liver biopsy
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (Managment)
Ursodeoxycholic acid (shown to slow progression)
basal ganglia stroke
Contralateral hemiparesis and hemisensory loss homonynous heminopsia gaze palsy
Cerebellum stroke
usually no hemiparesis facial weakness ataxia and nystagmus occipital HA and neck stiffness
Thalamus
Contralateral hemiparesis and hemisensory loss Nonreactive miotic pupils upgaze palsy eyes deviate Towards hemiparesis
Cerebral lobe
Contralateral hemiparesis (frontal lobe) Contralateral hemisensory loss (parietal lobe) Homonymous hemianopsia (occipital lobe) eyes deviate away from hemiparesis high incidence of seizures
Pons
Deep coma and total paralysis within minutes Pinpoint reactive pupils
Aortic Regurgitation
(due to valvular disease)
diastolic decresendo murmur best heard at the left sternal border at full inspiration
Tricuspid regurgitaton
most frequent site of IV drug user endocarditis
systolic murmur, holosystolic that is accentuated by inspiration
Complete or third degree AV block
(presentation)
Syncope, dizziness, acute heart failure, hypotension and cannon a waves.
on ekg, THE P WAVES WILL NOT GO WITH THE QRS
Complete/Third degree Av block
(treatment)
pacemaker placement
remember second degree can become a third degree
COPD exacerbations
(Medications)
O2
Inhaled bronchodilators (albuterol, ipratropium)
glucocorticoids
antibiotics
NPPV
or intubation
