locally invade?
no mets
+ locally invade
all SAH need what ppx
seizure with nay of the meds
diagnosing biliary atresia

phenobarbital then HIDA 5-7 days later (lack bile reaching duodenum)
intraoperative cholangiogram if still uncertain
managment of parathyroid adenoma
sestamibi scan to find which of the PT glands are enlarged bc usually just one

what increases risk of bladder cancer
smoking and exposure to B-alanine dyes
acute limb ischemia usually from what
Afib clot, cholesterol emboli, acute thrombosis
first step when think cushings
24 hour cortisol level and confirm with 1 mg low dose dexamethasone
if cortisol increases it is cushings
then do ACTH (if decreased then adrenal, if increased then extraadrenal)
if adrenal spot it with CT/MRI and resect
if extraadrenal then high dose dexameth test (suppress = pituitary, if no suppression then ectopic)
if pituit then MRI and resect
if ectopic then find with CTI/MRI of: chest, abd, pelvis
tumor found in CPA and if bilateral is part of what
other features
tx?
schwannoma
NF II
hearing loss, vertigo, N/V, tinnitus
resect and cure
