Caucasian = ACE I / Beta Blockers
AA = HCTZ / CCB (as less RAAS dependent)
35
Upper Extremity DVT
- MCC Inpatient
- MCC Outpatient
Most commonly affects axillo-subclavian system
- MCC Inpatient = Central Venous Lines
- MCC Outpatient = structural abnormalities of the thoracic outlet associated with strenuous exercise
36
ECT Therapy

- Patients at high risk for getting complications
- Indications: Severe refractory depression, pregnancy, catatonia, NMS
- NO CONTRAINDICATIONS (including pregnancy / pacemakers)
- Patients high risk for complications from ECT = increased ICP / recent hemorrhagic or ischemic CVA
37
Age to Begin Solid Foods
Why (2)
4-6 months
Why?
1. Extrusion Reflex (pushing material out of mouth) exists until 4 months
2. No benefit from solid food until this age
38
Best SCREENING test for hypogonadism?
Next best test if abnormal screening test?
TOTAL Testosterone (≠Free, too expensive)
FSH / LH, to determine if primary / secondary testicular

41
Definition of COPD
Diagnosis of COPD
COPD = Chronic Bronchitis (>3 months of productive cough for 2 years) and Emphysema (dilation of post-terminal bronchiole 2/2 loss of elastase)
Diagnosis of COPD = SPIROMETRY with decrease FEV1 >>> decrease FVC = low ratio
42
Diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Clinical Diagnosis vs. Neurogenic Claudication
- Diagnostic Tests (3)
- Clinical: leg pain worse with walking, relieved by rest. Neurogenic claudication occurs at rest and is often better with walking.
- Diagnostics
1. ABI <20 mmHg upon walking / exercise
43
Woman with signs / symptoms of UTI:
- DDx if Acute Onset
- DDx if Progressive Onset
- UA with pyuria but no growth on UCx =
```
Acute = classic UTI with GNR > S. Saprophyticus
Gradual = STI Urethritis (CT / GC, HSV)
```
*UA with Pyuria and No growth on UCx = Chlamydia
44
Gait Abnormalities
- Best Screening Test
- Interpretation of Findings
- Best Screening Test = Get Up and Go: patient gets up without using arms and walks 3 m and then back
- Interpretation of Findings
14 seconds = high fall risk
>20 seconds = severe gait imbalance

Steppage Gait
Neuropathy
48
Pregnant woman (or Newborn) is found to be anemic based off of Hb/HCT on CBC. What is the next best step?
Trial of Fe. DO NOT order more serum studies / Hb Electrophoresis as 9/10 these are caused by Fe Deficiency Anemia.
49
MCC of Acute Interstitial Nephritis
Abx
50
Primary vs. Secondary Hypothyroidism
- TSH / T4 Levels in Both
- How to follow Synthroid Dosing in Both
Primary
- HIGH TSH with LOW T4
- Follow Synthroid dosing with TSH levels
Secondary
- LOW TSH with LOW T4
- Can't use TSH to follow Synthroid b/c of pituitary failure, use T4 levels
51

- MCC (specifically!)
- Next best serum test?
- Finding on EKG
MCC = Parathyroid Adenoma
Next Best Serum Test = PTH
Short QT interval
52
When to order a SPOT U_Protein/Creatinine Ratio
Order when +Proteinuria on dipstick without clear etiology. Best would be a 24 hour urine protein, but in KIDS and NON-COMPLIANT adult patients, this is a good estimate.
53
Cervical Radiculopathy
- Physical Exam Test
- Work Up
- Management
PE Test = Spurling Maneuver (Rotate + extend head) = worsens radiculopathy pain
Work Up = need C-Spine Imaging
Mgmt: if no pathology on C-Spine Imaging = conservative + NSAID
