Other Systems Flashcards
Addison’s Disese
adrenal dysfunction = hypofunction = decreased cortisol and aldosterone; metabolic dysfunction including hypotension, weakness, anorexia
Cushing’s Disese
adrenal dysfunction = HYPERfunction = increased cortisol; hyperglycemia, growth failure, truncal obesity, moon shaped face, poor concentration/memory loss
hypothyroidism can result in what symptoms
proximal muscle weakness and myalgia (muscle pain), joint stiffness, and increased DTR
what symptoms are related to a cystocele? (prolapsed uterus)
urinary incontience, pain relieved by lying down, and increased pain with prolonged standing
extra articular symptoms of psoriatic arthritis
psoriatic skin and nail changes with conjunctivities/iritis
extra articular symptoms of RA
vasculitis
Ratio of GH to scapular mobility
2:1 ratio
when naming a scoliosis, which side is it named to? what will this side get?
the convex side; increased aeration, increased lateral costal expansion
when getting someone out of a synergy you want to…
put them in the opposite position
when treating someone with a new amputation whats always your number one concern
wound healing
if a patient asks to see their notes (in disneyland) you…
just show them
what interventions would you use to assist in controlling a patient with ateletasis?
want to encourage pain management and deep breathing - incentive spirometry etc. NOT paced breathing because that doesnt look at the depth
after a flexor tendon repair, what is protocol?
passive flexion with active extension for the first 3 weeks
if the TMJ is stuck closed, what glide do you do?
inferior
metabolic issues with adrenal insufficiency?
=not enough cortisol = hyponatremia, hyperkalemic, and hypoglycemic
what would you call a low frequency sound during diastole? what about a swishing sound?
low frequency = S3; swishing = murmur
for osteoporosis, what’s the best type of exercise?
anything with weight bearing
during cervical testing for veterbral artery, what side is being tested in comparison to the lateral side bending?
contralateral (it’s being stretched/compressed)
for GERD which positions are aggrevating?
supine, bridging, prone; go for sitting if you can
pro-tip
when a motion is excessive and you’re thinking what is overly lengthening, simply think what motion is it excessively going into, and which muscle does the opposite of that motion
reliability coefficient numbers
> 0.75 = good, 0.5-0.75 = moderate, <0.50 = poor
what should you always test before standing a person up for balance testing
cognition, sensation
boutonniere deformity
MCP extension DIP and PIP flexion; rutpure with volar slippage of lateral bands
reasons for circumduction with a prothestic
long prosthesis, locked knee unit, loose knee friction, inadequate suspension, small or loose socket, plantar flexed foot
