GULICK: Medical Screening Pt. 1 Systemic Pathology Flashcards
(154 cards)
What is a RED Flag?
Predictor of pathology
From exam to either Initiating PT OR REFER OUT!
SEE PICS
Dx Tests Ex’s
X-ray, MRI, CT, US, Bone Scan, DEXA, EMG/NCV, EKG, EEG, Urine Analysis, Blood Work,
Statistics: Sensitivity
SnNOUT==>
-
SnNOUT→ If the test is NEGATIVE, it is effective @ RULING OUT dysfunction
- Sn== good ScreeNing tool
Generalized Systemic RED FLAGS!
Big picture, Key words, things that raise concern****
- Insidious, NO known MOI
- Sx’s out of proportion to injury
- NO change in sx’s, despite position, rest, tx
- NO pattern to sx’s; unable to reproduce sx’s
- Sx’s persist beyond expected healing time
- Recent OR Current fever, chills, night sweats, infx
- Unexplained wt loss, pallor, nausea, dizzy, vom, B&B changes (constitutional sx’s→ involve lots of systems)
MORE Generalized Systemic RED FLAGS
- HA/Visual changes
- *Change in vital signs→ NEED BASELINE!!
- B/L sx’s
- Pigmentation changes, edema, rash, nail changes, weakness, numb, tingle, burning→ all Endocrine***
- Hx of Cx
- >40yo gender, ethnicity, race
- Night pain
- Progressive neurology sx’s
- Cyclic presentation
- Jt pain w/ skin lesions
Dev’t of a Review-of-Systems Screening Tool for Ortho PT
23-Item tool correctly ID’d 100% of (+) responders
23 Questions:
- abnormal sensations (numb, pins, needles)?
- HAs?
- Night pain?
- Sustained morning stiffness?
- Light-headed?
- Trauma (MVA, fall)?
- Night sweats?
- Constipation?
- Easy bruising?
- Changes in vision?
- Changes in menstrual pattern?
- Balance disturbs?
- Chest pain w/ rest?
- SOB?
- MM weakness?
- Failure of conservative intervention (30d)?
- Excess sweating?
- Edema/wt gain?
- Heartbeat in abdomen when lie down?
- Cramps in legs when walk several blocks?
- Abdom pain?
- Changes in integrity of nails?
- Prolonged use of corticosteroids?→ myopathy!
Vital Signs
- ALWAYS TAKE THEM!!!
- MUST establish Baseline!!!!
- Standard of Minimal Acceptable Care!!!
Early Warning Signs of Cx
Mnemonic to use?
CAUTION
Early Warning Signs of Cx
CAUTION
- C: Change in B&B
- A: A sore that fails to heal in 6wks
- U: Unusual bleeding or discharge
- T: Thickening/lump (breast or elsewhere)
- I: Indigestion or diff swallowing
- O: Obvious change in wart, mole, freckle
- N: Nagging cough, hoarseness, rust colored sputum
Early Warning Signs of Cx
CAUTION
More on the O: Obvious change in wart, mole, freckle
ABCDE:
- A: Asymmetrical shape
- B: Border irregularities
- C: Color→ pigmentation is not uniform
- D: Diameter >6mm
- E: Evolution (change in status)
Cx Screenings:
WHY?
Many Cx’s do NOT display sx’s in early stages*****
Cx Screenings:
Many cx’s do not display sx’s in early stages!!!
Best approach?
Mammos, colonoscopy, pap smear & pelvic exam, prostate exam, skin exam
Monohemispheric Brain Tumor
Clinical Tests studied
- Spasticity of conjugate gaze

- Forearm rolling test
- Finger rolling test
- Digit quinti sign
- Souques interosseus sign
- Pronator drifting test
- Mayer sign
- Finger tapping sign
- Digit quinti rolling sign
- Foot tapping sign
- Babinski
- Chaddock sign
Monohemispheric Brain Tumor
6 of the tests that are great Dx TOOLS bc they have HIGH SPECIFICITY (SPPIN)
- Forearm rolling: Sp= 100%, PPV= 100%
- Finger rolling: Sp= 93%, PPV=92%
- Souques interosseus sign: Sp= 80%, PPV=70%
- Finger tapping: Sp= 90%, PPV= 78%
- Foot tapping: Sp= 93%, PPV=87%
- Babinksi: Sp= 100%, PPV=100%
Cerebral Lesions
What TEST was found to be MOST EFFECTIVE for this?

Visceral Anatomy
Say OUT LOUD where things are/what side!!!!
see pics
Visceral Referral patterns!!!! know them all/label!!!!
see pics
Slide 40…. go back and make blank one to practice!!!!
