MIX 7 QBANK Flashcards
(121 cards)
treatment of bladder cancer transitional cell carcinoma
tumor confined to mucosal:
T1
Resection was intravesical BCG
Invades the muscle:
Radical cystectomy
Abdomen or neoadjuvant chemotherapy
brown common bile duct stones
associated with infection of biliary
black common bile duct stones
associated with hemolysis
Unconjugated bilirubin
Sickle cell
Hereditary spherocytosis
which usually presents first in MEN syndromes pheo or thyroid
thyroid
compared sporadic to hereditary pheochromocytomas
hereditary pheochromocytoma: Earlier age Multiple Bilateral Extruded renal RARELY malignant
best test for pheochromocytoma workup
PLASMA free metanephrine best test to exclude Pheochromocytoma (Cam- recent finding)
24-hour urine:
Catecholamines
Fractionated metanephrines
Vanillylmadelic acid
screening for hypercortisolism
low dose overnight dexamethasone suppression test 95% sensitive
24-hour urine free cortisol next at
if positive test for:
ACTH - tests for adrenal versus, pituitary, versus ectopic site
(Cam)
evening salivary cortisol maybe (Qbank)
survival of patient with mechanical valve versus bioprosthetic valve
equal
with bioprosthetic valve wears out faster
anticoagulation of mechanical valve versus bioprosthetic valve
mechanical-yes
Bioprosthetic-no
When should ventral hernia with mesh seroma be drained
persistent over 6-8 weeks
treatment of esophageal cancer perforation with contained leak versus free perforation
contained leak may consider antibiotics and observation
unusual causes of urgent esophagectomy
cancer
Achalasia
Severe peptic strictures
Caustic injury
Esophagectomy regardless of degree of inflammation or interval..
the the most common in a natural history of ASD
most are small and do not present symptoms until adulthood
Adult symptoms:
Dyspnea
Shortness of breath
Heart murmur
Cystic hygroma
benign fluid collection of lymph
Accumulated posterior neck most commonly
she seen on prenatal ultrasound
Treatment:
Observe
Surgery if -
Airway compromise
Infected
Hemorrhage
If risk to adjacent structures may consider injecting sclerosis
complication seen with nitroprusside
sign of toxicity
Pulmonary edema
Weakness confusion
Diagnosis: Thiocyanate level
Treatment:
Amyl nitrate
Sodium nitrite
Sodium thiosulfate
adverse effect of halothane
ventricular arrhythmia
Rarely hepatic necrosis
metabolism of sevoflurane
hepatic
advantages of isoflurane
vasodilator
Least myocardial depression ( but second-best when compared to nitrous oxide)
Enflurane vascular defects
also peripheral vasodilator
but more myocardia depression and isoflurane
effects of prostacyclin on platelet
inhibit platelet aggregation and is also a vasodilator
PGE1
prostaglandin analogs such as alprostadil or misoprostol (prostaglandin E1 analogs)
keeps PDA open
defined P. value when related to null hypophysis
probability of obtaining a result as extreme (or more extreme) than the one observed if the null hypothesis is true.
fluid status of SIADH patient
euvolemic
low urine sodium
fluid status cerebral salt wasting
hypovolemic
venous capacitance
somewhat analogous to vascular resistance but whereas vascular resistance relates to flow through a blood vessel, vascular capacitance relates to the volume contained in it.
The relationship between the volume of blood contained within a segment of vasculature and the pressure distending the vascular walls over a wide range of pressures and volumes. The veins of the body are not only conduits for the return of blood to the right heart, but they also determine most of the vascular capacitance and contain most of the blood volume. Changes in vascular capacitance provide a quick and effective mechanism for the filling of the right heart,
