Week 4 Flashcards
Cyclosporine
Pancoast tumors
Tremors
Alzhemimer MIR findings
Early AD, MRI may be normal
Later stages-Temporal lobe atrophy which is most prominent in the hippocampi and surrounding medial temporal lobes
Acute nitrofuratonin induced pulmonary injury
Lung injury
acute hypersenstivity pneumonitis
Long term can lead to interstitial lung disease
Microbiology associations of infective endocarditis
Initial stabilization of acute ST elevation MI
Diuretics recomented for acute pulmonary edema
B blocers standard therapy in MI but should be avoided in patients with decompensated congestive heart failure or bradycardia
Wallenberg syndrome
Primary renal causes of nephrotic syndrome
Causes of hyperandrogenism in women
Primary ovarian androgens are testosterone, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrostone (DHEA)
Women with elevated testosterone with normal DHEAS leves suggest ovarian source
Elevated DHEAS levels suggest adrenal tumor
Common skin infections
Differentiation of conjunctivis
Pulmonary nodule workup
Antiplatelet/Antithrombotic therapy for ischemic stroke
Foodborn botulism
Optic neuritis
Renal vein thrombosis
Complication of all causes of nephrotic syndrome
Most commonly associated with membranous glomerulopathy
Phenytoin toxicity
Antieptilitic that inhibits V gated Na channels
Acute toxicity intially manifests with signs of cerebellar dysfunction (horisontal nystagmus, ataxia, dysmetria, slurred speech, nausea vommiting) hyperreflexia may occur
Sever toxicity results in altered mental status, coma, paradoxical seizures and death
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Fall in total and free T3 levels with normal T4 and TSH levels
Aminoglycosides major side effect
Nephrotoxic and drug levels and renal function must be monitored closley during therapy
Approach to wide-complex tachycardia
Peritonsillar abscess
Potential complication of tonsillitis
Requires IV antibiotics and urgent drainage
Deviation of the uvula and lymphadenopathy can be helpful in distinguishing a peritonsillar abscess from epiglottis
Hyperthyroid bone disease
Major drug interactions of levothyroxine
Multifocal atrial tachycardia
Natural history of diabetic nephropathy
Brain lesions and clincial presentaitons
Babesiosis
Nonbleeding varicies
Prophylactic treatemnt with non selective beta blockers is recomended to reduce the liklihood of progression to large varicies as well as the risk of variceal hemorrhage
Bacilliary angiomatosis
Multiple myeloma
Clinical features of fibromusclar dysplasia
