Uworld 3 Flashcards
pregnancy: thyroid changes
TG up
thyroxine up –> total thyroid hormone up
free T4 only up a little or none
TSH down (suppressed by hcg and increased T4)
tx: hypothyroidism in preg
up levo 30% when find out pregnant
adjust q month
path: HELLP syndrome
abnormal placentation –> systemic inflammation –> activate coags and complement –> platelet consumption and microangio hemolytic anemia –> liver problems
tx: HELLP
delivery
magnesium (seizure prophylaxis)
anti-HTN
when do you do amnioinfusion
variable decels from cord compression in labor
pt w/ hashimoto’s: rapidly enlarging firm goiter –> dysphagia/hoarseness
think about thyroid lymphoma
time frame: contrast induced nephropathy
spike within 24 hrs of contrast
return to normal in 5 - 7 days
FTT and normal anion gap acidosis
thing RTA
RTAs by urine pH
2 and 4: < 5.5
1: >5.5
RTAs by K
1 and 2: low-normal
4: high
path: RTAs
1: poor H secretion (genes, meds, AI)
2: poor bicarb resorption (fanconi)
4: aldo resistance (obstructive, CAH)
tx: symptomatic sinus brady
atropine
no response –> epi or dopamine or pacing
withdrawal from maternal E –>
vaginal bleeding
breast buds
genital engorgement
recurrent infections and displaced PMI
kartagener syndrome
PE finding: agammaglobulinemia
no tonsillar/adenoidal tissue
ddx: stridor in babies
croup
foreign body
laryngomalacia
vascular ring
baby: stridor worse when supine, improves when prone
laryngomalacia
baby: biphasic stridor that improves with neck extension
vascular ring
dx: infective endocarditis
blood cultures (3 from diff sites) before echo
pure motor hemiparesis
think lacunar stroke (internal capsule)
pure sensory stroke
think lacunar
path: lacunar stroke
chronic HTN –> arteriolar sclerosis and occlusion
meds –> psychosis/hallucinations
anti-histamines
alpha-adrenergics
dextromethorphan
glucocorticoids
neonate: temp instability, poor feeding, lethargy
think sepsis (get blood, urine and CSF cultures)
