day 2 stuff Flashcards
structural deformity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
asymetric septal hypertrophy and abnormal motion of mitral valve leafles- systolic anterior motion that increases the outflow obstruction.
HOCM murmur
Crescendo decrecendo murmur at the left lower sternal border that increases with valsalva due to dec preload.
proteinuria (>3+), hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia + lipiduria=
Nephrotic syndrome
Common complications of nephrotic syndrome
many complications due to protein loss protein malnutrition, Fe resistant microcytic hyporhcomic anemia (transferin loss), vit D defiticiency, def thyroxin levels, inc susceptibitly to infection, hypercoagulable state.
Most common manifestation of hypercoaglulatibility in nephrotic syndrome- esp membranous glomerulonephropathy
renal vein thrombosis
Goal oxy Hb sat in COPD?
90-94%
What happens when chronic COPD pts are over oxygenated?
worsening hypercapnia and CO2 narcosis- increasing CO2 retention pt will be lethargic and confused.
Congenital dermal melanocytosis=
mongolian spots
Male under 5 yo with proxmila muscle weakness + gower sign + bilatral calf pseudohypertrophy.
Duchene muscular dystrophy
Labs in duchene’s-
elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase and aldolase elevated before weakness.
Abnormality in Duchene’s muscular dystrophy
absent dystrophin gene on genetic testing
undetectable dystrophin gene with muscle bx
XR
long term complicatoins of duchenes muscular dystrophy
Cardiomypathy- often die from resp or heart failure
intellectual disability
Elderly person with BP 165/75- dx, pathophys, risks, and tx
Isolated systolic HTN due to stiffening of arteiral wall, common in elderly.
Assoc with inc risk of cardiovascular events, esp with wide pulse pressure
Tx- low dose thiazide, ACE-I, CCB
cancers reduced by breast feeding
breast and ovarian
benefits to infant of breast feeding
decreased risk of otitis media, infxns of resp/GI? and UT, as well as dec risk of necrotizing enterocolitis.
lower rates of T1DM, and childhood cancers.
Infant pathology that is absolute CI to breast feeding
Galactosemia
Deformed joints (especially foot) with decreased sensation, arthritis arthropathy, mild pain, fractures that are unsuspected by the pt, and degenerative joint dis and loose bodies on joint imaging=
Chacot Joint- a neurogenic arthropathy
Tx of Charcot joint
tx underlying neurologic condition (B12, DM, peripehral nerve or spinal cord damage, syringomyelia, tabes dorsalis).
Mechanical devices
X-rays if trauma is present
Congenital aromatase deficiency
enzyme deficiency that prevents conversion of androgens to estrogens.
gestational maternal virilization with 46 XX fetus
Normal internal genitalia w/ ambiguous external genitalia
Complications of congenital aromatase deficiency
delayed puberty ( primary amenorrhea)
osteoperosis
undetectable estrogens in the setting of high gonatropins
clitoral hypertrophy
pt w/ cirrhosis and ascities with low gradefever, abdominal discomfort, AMS
spontaenous bacterial peritonitis
Confirmatory tests for SBP, SAAG
ascitic fluid with PMN’s > 250 and positive peritoneal cutlure.
SAAG >1.1
MCO of SBP
E. Coli, Klebsiella- gram negs
Tx of SBP
3rd gen cephalosporins- Cefotaxime
