33
Management of panic disorder
SSRIs or SNRIs and CBT for long term control, benzos for immediate symptom relief
34
Initial management of central hypothyroidism
1) MRI 2) Test for concurrent adrenal insufficiency (Often coexists with other disorders of the pituitary. Even if cortisol low normal, which can be seen with AI) before treating (this can induce adrenal crisis)
35
Overflow incontinence cause
- underactive detrusor function (due to DM2. patient has decreased bladder contractility) or outflow obstruction (organ prolase)
36
Treatment of overflow incontinence
- cholinergic agonists | - intermittent self catheterization
37
Presentation of overflow incontinence
- poor stream, dribbling, sensation of incomplete emptying, nocturia (this is due to urinary retention caused by outflow obstruction)
38
Differentiating stress from overflow incontinence
- stress = no elevated PVR
39
Meds for malaria ppx
- atovaquone-progunail - doxycycline - mefloquine
40
Urine anion gap calculation
(Na + K) - urinary chloride | *positive and negatively charged anions
41
Inflammatory diarrhea presentation
- frequent small-volume diarrhea | - *sometimes don't have blood in stool
42
Inflammatory diarrhea pathogens
- campylobacter, shigella, salmonella
43
Non-inflammatory diarrhea presentation
- large-volume watery diarrhea (small bowel involvement)
44
Non-inflammatory diarrhea pathogens
- C perfringens | - E coli
45
Other features of GBS
- bulbar symptoms (dysphagia, dysarthria) following development of ascending paralysis - back pain can be a presenting feature - sluggish pupils
46
argyll-robertson pupil
accomodate but don't react (like a prostitute)
47
Presentation of eustachian tube dysfunction
- typically following URI | - ear fullness, popping, decreased hearing
48
Treatment of eustachian tube dysfunction
- oral decongestants
49
How long patients need to be on antidepressants for if recurrent episodes
IF recurrent -- 1-3 years | IF 3 or more -- indefinitely
50
Antidepressant duration for single major depressive episode
IF single episode -- continue for 6 months following a response
51
Acute GVHD vs. chronic GVHD in terms of timing
Acute GVHD = within 100 days of HSCT | Chronic = can occur at any time
52
Acute GVHD presentation + lab features
- abdominal pain, diarrhea, maculopapular rash | - elevated liver enzymes (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase)
53
Why rash in GVHD is an emergency
- can progress to TEN
54
Pathogen associated with hot tubs and aerosolized municipal water + clinical features
MAC (NTMB) | - causes hypersensitivity pneumonitis ("hot tub lung") with bilateral infiltrates
55
Presentation of pseudomonal infections associated with hot tub use
- folliculitis
56
Additional feature of hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy
Late complication, can cause laryngospasm leading to respiratory distress and inspiratory stridor
57
Management of sexual dysfunction with SSRI's
- augment with a PDE-5 inhibitor (sildenafil) or bupropion) | * shouldn't stop SSRI
58
Initial management of suspected vitiligo
- TSH (frequently associated with thyroid disorders and DM1) | * diagnosis is clinical
59
Treatment of vitiligo
topical steroids, UV light, topical calcineurin inhibitors
60
Management of asymptomatic patient with a tick bite from endemic area
IF asymptomatic -- no testing required (antibodies take weeks to appear thus there may be false negatives) IF attached for 36 hours or more -- prophylaxis (no testing) (infection isn't transmitted within first 2-3 days) IF erythema migrans -- no testing
61
lithium toxicity presentation
- confusion, agitation, ataxia, neuromuscular excitability (myoclonic jerks)
62
contraindications to aldosterone antagonists
CrCl less than 30 (severe) | K greater than 5
63
indication for pacer in CHF patients
EF less than or equal to 35% + LBBB with QRS duration greater than 150 + persistent symptoms despite optimal medical therapy
64
Management of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatics
- SABA 5-15 minutes before exercise | IF symptoms persist -- leukotriene receptor antagonists (montelukast) or inhaled steroids
65
when to never use LABAs for asthmatics?
without ICS, never used as monotherapy
66
Management of nocturnal cardiac arrhythmias
- workup for OSA -- full-night polysomnography with ECG monitoring
67
High risk conditions that require bridging
- mechanical *mitral valve - VTE within 3 months - severe thrombophilia (protein C deficiency) - AF with TIA or stroke within 3 months NOT mechanical AV valve
68
CVA and TIA management in patients with symptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis
- early carotid revascularization (within 1-2 weeks0
69
Other clinical features of SLE
- oral ulcers | - alopecia
70
ruptured ectopic pregnancy presentation
- bleeding + lower abdominal pain + *complex adnexal mass
71
incomplete abortion presentation
- heavy vaginal bleeding + dilated cervix
72
abruptio placentae clinical features
vaginal bleeding + pain + *third trimester
73
hydatidiform mole clinical features
bleeding + enlarged uterus + *very high beta hcg + intrauterine heterogenous mass with cystic areas (snowstorm appearance)
74
ectopic pregnancy management
IF hemodynamically unstable -- surgery (bleeding into peritoneal cavity) IF hemodynamically stable -- methotexate
75
What is the physiologic reason why patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema benefit from BiPaP?
- decreased dead space ventilation - increased tidal volume - increased alveolar to minute ventilation - decreases preload (reduced cardiac output increases LV filling pressures and LA pressure (which is preload) -- elevated presssure is transmitted to pulmonary capillaries, leading to fluid transudation - decreases afterload
76
Next step after patient diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism and no surgical indication
24-hour urine calcium (need to rule out familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia and very high calcium excretion is an indication for surgery)
77
Indications for parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism
- age under 50 - symptomatic - complications (stones, SCKD, osteoporosis) - calcium 1 mg or higher above normal - high urinary calcium excretion
78
anal fissure management
- topical nitroglycerin (improves blood flow to the anal area, which improves wound healing) - sitz bathes IF refractory -- botox injection
79
Varenicline in patients with cardiovascular disease
- adverse CV events are possible, but benefits of stopping smoking outweigh risks
80
only time to avoid varenicline
- currently unstable psych status or recent SI
81
tamoxifen and raloxifene SE's
(estrogen antagonists) - hot flashes - VTE - endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma (tamoxifen only) - uterine sarcoma (tamoxifen only)
