treat with 4
avoid 2
cocaine
block norepinephrine reuptake by sympathetics, increased sympathetic alpha and beta adrenergic stim, hr bp cardiac oxygen demand, coronary vasoconstiction, platelet activation
Supplemental O2 and IV BENZODIAZEPINE... reduces sympathetic outflow
ASPIRIN
NITRATES and CCBs
avoid bb's... can unappose alpha and worsen coronary vasoconstriction
avoid thrombolytics unless STE like always
138
all patients with acute cocaine toxicity and myocardial ischemia should be treated initially with supplemental oxygen and ___
IV Benzodiazepines for cocaine toxicity.
...reduces sympathetic outflow and symptoms
139
empiric treatment of CAP
outpatient healthy
outpatient comorbidities
inpatient
ICU
Macrolide or Doxy if healthy outpatient
respiratory fluroquinolone (Levofloxacin or Moxifloxacin) or Beta Lactam and Macrolide (Ceftriazone and Azythromycin) if comorbidities outpatient or inpatient (IV if inpatient)
Beta Lactam and Macrolide (Ceftriaxone Azythromycin) or
Beta Lactam and Fluoroquinolone (Ceftriaxone and Levo or Moxi)

how do myalgia chills malaise change management? erythema and tenderness in one quadrant but no fluctuance?
treatment?
sin fluora or infant oral fluora multiplying in stagnant milk ducts
Staph Aureus most common
myalgia chills malaise common, do not change management, neither does tenderness localized to one quadrant without fluctuance
- still Keep Breastfeeding (for infant nutrition and to treat mastitis, better than pumping)
- Analgesia
- anti-MSSA abx Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin... if MRSA Clindamycin TMPSMX or Vancomycin
145
2 keys to differentiating between cholecystitis and cholangitis
total / direct bili? transaminases?
cholangitis will have additional Jaundice and Higher Alk Phos
not bili so much... cholecystitis can cause mild transaminase elevations and bili elevation up to 4 mg/dl
146
treat PBC
if elevatged Alk Phos and anti-mitochondrial antibody but asymptomatic?
if PBC advanced?
early, even asymptomatic PBC - URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID... limits bile injury to bile duct and antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory
if advanced PBC with cirrhosis - LIVER TRANSPLANT
147
TF treat PBC with steroids
F
treat PBC with Ursodeoxycholic acid
(treat AI Hepatitis with Steroids)
148
___ should be initiated as soon as diagnosis of PBC is made
Ursodeoxycholic acid
should be initiated as soon as PBC diagnosed, even if asymptomatic... limits bile duct injury and has antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory effects
149
best test to diagnose acute Hep B infection
HBsAg and anti-HBc IgM
HBsAg is the Ag that occurs early with other Ags in infection but lasts the longest
anti-HBc IgM because covers window period in which HBsAg vanishes but anti-HBs is yet to arise
- HBcAg is not detectible in serum
- HBeAg demonstrates INFECTIVITY but levels fall early so HBsAg a better marker of infection
HBV DNA used in chronic HepB to indicate antiviral treatment and monitor response
150
TF
| esophageal rupture possible with vomiting
T
| it's called Boerhaave syndrome
151
in smoker with chronic cough and small sputum production exacerbated by URTIs, also with dyspnea, decreased vital capacity on PFT, which of the following is true?
alveolar-capillary membrane thickening
decreased FRC
air trapping with expiration
decreased lung distensibility
This patient has cOpd - bronchitis (chronic cough smoker some sputum urti viral exacerbations) and emphysema (dyspnea)
OBSTRUCTIVE
so Air Trapping
not alveolar thickening - destruction
not decreased frc - increased frc.. cannot get air out
not decreased distensibility - increased lung distensibility
152
hypercalcemia associated with which lung cancer
SCC
sCa++mous cell carcinoma
PTHrp
153
TF
| suspect TB in USA non-immigrant with unilateral hilar mass and hypercalcemia
F
not so much, TB rare in USA unless immunosuppressed
think more SCC squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
154
TF
| small cell lung cancer causes hypercalcemia via PTHrp
F
SCLC - SIADH and ACTH
Squamous cell carcinoma SCC - PTHrp
sCa++mous cell carcinoma
155
TF
| suspect sarcoidosis in unilateral hilar mass and hypercalcemia
F
think more SCC squamous cell carcinoma of the lung PTHrp
think sarcoid if Bilateral hilar masses and erythema nodosum

treat / prevent uric acid ureteral stone
hydration
Alkalinize Urine to pH 6-6.5 with Potassium Citrate
Allopurinol if recurrent despite above
157
thiazide diruetic, loop diuretic, or potassium citrate to treat uric acid kidney stone?
Potassium Citrate to treat Uric Acid stone -- K Alkalinizes urine to pH 6-6.5, Citrate inhibits stone formation
thiazides decrease Calcium stone formation
loops increase calcium stone formation... bad...
158
most common cause of aortic regurge
developing countries
developed countries
developing country AR - rheumatic heart disease
developed country AR - bicuspid aortic valve, aortic root dilation
159
most common electrolyte abnormality in alcoholism and how does it cause refractory hypokalemia
hypomagnesemia most common in alcoholic
normally inhibits K+ secretion by kidney, so low magnesium makes hard to replete K+ because kidney just excretes it
160
low albumin causes __ total calcium, because...
low albumin LOW total calcium... because lots of calcium is protein bound
