First line:
Methotrexate
Others
CD 20 inhibitor: leuflonide
TNF inhibitor: rituximab
MOA of Rituximap
TNF inhibitor
Treatment for neuroleptic malignant sydrome
Dantroline or bromocriptine
Treatment of Serotonin sd
Cyproheptadine (antihistamine: blocks serotonin production)
Benzos: for altered mental status
Treatment of Bullous penphigoid vs. Pephigus vulgaris
Bullous penphigoid: topical corticosteroids (eg, clobetasol)
Pephigus bulgaris: systemic steroids +/- azathriopine, mycophenolate, IVGI, rituximab

Adrenal medulla tumor
Kids <2yoa
Tumor crosses mid line (vs. pheochromocytoma)
Periorbital echymosis (raccoon eyes)

DIfference between intraparenchymal vs. subarachnoid hemorrhage
Intraparenchymal: focalization symptoms that worsen within a few hours. Blood is in the brain. (If hypertension: basal ganglia, av malformation in kids)
Subarachnoid: sudden headache without focalization. Blood is in between the sulci.
Patophysiology of hyper IgM sd
CD 40 ligand on T cells deficiency… prevents Ig class switching because it cant bind to CD40 receptor on B cells
