UW 16 Flashcards
Glazman thrombastenia
Platelet aggregation deficit
Mucocutaneous bleeding
Normal platelet count. No clumping on peripheral blood smear
Cholangio carcinoma markers vs. Hepatocellular
Cholangio carcinoma: CA 19-9 and CAE
Hepatocellular: AFP
Systemic sclerosis antibodies
Limited cutanueos: Anticentromere
Difuse: anti polymerase 3 and ScL-70 (topoisomerase 1)
Delivery management of preeclampsia
Delivery at 37 weeks.
Severe features after 34 weeks: Delivery
Induction of labor preferred over C-section
Preeclampsia with severe features
BP: >160/110
Thrombocytopenia > Creatinine > LFTs Headache or neurological symptoms Pulmonary edema
Fetal fibronectin test
Done in patients <33+6 weeks gestation to predict preterm labor.
Positive test is good predictor of preterm labor within a week and an indication for IM corticosteroid injection
Pathology of Lewi body dementia
Deposition of alpha-synuclein bodies in the substantia nigra and brain stem
Examples of primitive relfexes and what do they suggest in an adult
Sucking, roting, glabelar
Frontotemporal dementia
Startle myoclonus definition and asssociation
Myoclonus/jerk with loud auditory stimulus
Prion disease (Creutzfeld-Jacob)
Dementia with Lewi bodies
Visual Hallucinations
Fluctuating cognition (may be describes as good moments and bad moments)
Parkinsonism
REM sleep behavior disorder
Other symptoms that might suggest:
Frequent falling
Sensitivity to antipsychotics
Dementia with Lewi bodies
Visual Hallucinations
Fluctuating cognition (may be describes as good moments and bad moments)
Parkinsonism
REM sleep behavior disorder
Other symptoms that might suggest: Frequent falling Sentivity to antipsychotics syncope/near syncope autonomic dysfuntion SPECT or PET showing low dopapine transport in basal ganglia
Lewi body dementia management
Parkinsonism: levo/carvidopa
Cholinesterase inhibitor: rivastigmine for cognitive impairment
Anti psychotics for functional impeding hallucinations
FACT:
If GBS status is not mentioned on the question. Consider it unknown. What do you do?
Screening 36-38
IV penicillin if 1. GBS UTI during pregnancy regardless of treatment 2. Colonation of GBS (GU and/or rectum) 3. Hx of early onset neonetal sepsis 4. Unknown status and... ..... <37 weeks .... Intrapartum fever .... Rupture of membranes >18 hrs
Vit C deficiency pathological effect
Impaired wound healing due to poor collagen formation
Niacin deficiency
Pellagra
Dermatitis
Diarrhea
Dementia/Delusions
Livido reticularis associations
Vasculitis:
Polyarteritis nodosa, SLE
Vasocclusive
Fat embolism, Antiphospholipid sd, cryoglobulinemia
May be normal in some people specially in cold climates
Antiphosppholipid sd coagulation studies
Normal PT
Prolonged PTT
Mixing of patient blood with donor plasma will not correct PTT (unlike factor deficiency)
Elevated B2-microglobulin
Multiple Myeloma
Common dermal manifestation of Antiphospholipid sd
Livido reticularis
