Q

Diagnosis and treatment of central hypothyroidism

A

DIAGNOSIS
Low free T4
Low or inappropriately normal TSH
MRI of pituitary

TREATMENT
Levothyroxine until free T4 is normal. TSH is not used for treatment adjustment

Perform an ACTH stimulation test before treatment. Thyroid hormone can precipitate an adrenal crisis by increasing cortisol metabolism

Cardiovascular
Endocrine: TSH,
Hypogonadism: slow onset, other signs
Neuropathic: diabetes, other neurological disorder
Medications: bp, depression, antiandrogenic

17
Q

Case-control vs. a cohort study

A

Case-control:
Selects the outcome (eg. patients with cancer) and compares the risk of exposure in people with cancer vs. people without it

Cohort:
Classifies people as exposed vs. unexposed and then looks for the outcome

18
Q

When do you start screening for ADPCKD?

A

After 18 years old

19
Q

Renal cyst: Simple vs. Malignant

A
Simple:
Smooth, thin wall
Uniloculated
No septation
Homogenous filling
Usually asymptomatic
Absence of contrast enhancement on CT or MRI
No follow up needed
20
Q

ADPCKD diagnosis

A

Ultrasound after 18

15-40: >3 cyst uni or bilat
40-50: >2 cysts on each
>60: >4 cysts on each

If no family history:
>10 at any age

21
Q

Internal vs. external validity. How to increase or decrease it?

A

Internal validity: describes causality (a change in the independent variable causes a change in the dependent variable)
More tightly controlled = more validity
Threat to validity: confounding, measurement, maturation, regression, etc

External validity: is generalizability.
The tighter the study, the less generalizability
Threat to validity: artificial environment. measurement effects, the sample is not representative

22
Q

Explanatory trials vs. Pragmatic trials

A

Explanatory:
Usually, phases II and III of clinical trials
Small samples, tightly controlled,

Pragmatic: for external validity
Phase IV
Large samples, less controlled, more diverse enviroment

23
Q

Treatment for Anorexia vs. Bulimia

A

Both:
CBT
Nutritional support

Anorexia: Olanzapine if above fails
Bulimia: SSRI in combination with above

24
Q

Approach to menopause with vasomotor symptoms

A
  1. Mild or Moderate to severe?
    Mild: behavioral therapy
    Mod/Sev: step 2
  2. Strogen contraindication?
    Yes: SSRI
    No: step 3
  3. Does the patient have an intact uterus?
    No: Strogen only
    Yes; Strogen + progesterone
25
Q

What do you do next in a patient with molluscum contagiosum

A

Child: just treat (curetting, freezing, cantharidin)
