Week 5 Flashcards
Miller fisher syndrome
Variant of Guillan Barre Opthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia Strength is often preserved Highly associated with anti-GQ1b antibody
Glucagonoma
arteriovenous fistula
Symptomatic AVF decreases systemic vascular resistance, increases cardiac preload and increases cardiac output
Clincial signs inculde widened pulse pressure, strong peripheral arterial pulsation, systolic flow murmur, tachycardia and usually flushed extremities
ECG usually shows left ventricular hypertrophy
Right ventricular MI
Nitrates should be avoided as venous dilation causes an abrupt decrese in RV preload and can lead to profound hypotension
Similary diuretics and opiates should be avoided or administered with caution
Clinical features of peripartum cardiomyopathy
Prophalaxis criteria for lyme disease
Refactory migrane treatment
Non responding to simple analgesics eg nsaids and acetaminophen or assoicated with nausea/vomitting
IV proclorpezine (blockes D2 and seratonin receptors)
or triptptans
Disase modifying antirrhemuatic drugs and side effects
Central retinal artery occlusion
Emergently treated with occular massage and high flow oxygen treatment
painless loss of monocular bision is the usual presenting symptom
, endocarditis, long bone fracture, hypercoaguable state risk factors include
Fundoscopy reveals diffuse ischemic retinal whitening and cherry red spots
Migrane therapies
Common types of kidney stones
Lambert eaton, myasthenia gravis, dermatomyostitis
Complex regional pain syndrome
Frostbite
