would a disease of bone marrow suppression also show reticulocytes in the CBC?
no
reticulocytosis is uncommon because the bone marrow cannot efficiently generate cells
ESRD, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperparathyroidism, obesity, diabetes, oral anticoagulants are all risk factors for
calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy)
systemic arteriolar calcification and soft-tissue calcium deposition with local ischemia and necrosis
Calcific uremic arteriolopathy
what electrolyte inhibits extraosseous calcification?
magnesium
HTN, epistaxis, and HA in younger patient
coarctation of the aorta
pt with hx of HA and htn then gets anesthesia and HTN escalates immediately
catecholamine surge from pheo
type of therapy with schizophrenic pt?
family therapy
What does the initial evaluation of HTN include?
serum chem panel, UA, Hgb/Hct, lipids and glucose
defective mineralization of the bone matrix
osteomalacia
osteomalacia is MC due to
severe Vit D deficiency
will calcium be increased or decreased in multiple myeloma?
increased
hypercalcemia
codfish vertebral bodies and pseudofractures
osteomalacia
<2 yo with palpable abdominal mass, systemic symptoms, raccoon eyes, and opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome
neuroblastoma
workup of possible nonbloody infectious diarrhea etiology
ova and parasites
nonprogressive motor dysfunction, characterized by abnormal tone, movement, and development in infant
cerebral palsy
possibly the biggest risk factor for CP
prematurity
first sign of CP?
delayed gross motor milestones
distal and facial muscle weakness with delayed muscle relaxation, (delayed release of handgrip)
myotonic dystrophy
autosomal recessive disorder associated with delayed gross motor milestones, proximal muscle weakness and hypotonia
spinal muscular atrophy
tethering of the spinal cord leads to
LE muscle atrophy and weakness with poor or absent reflexes
neonate with temperature instability and poor feeding
neonatal sepsis
2 cancers that go with elevated AFP
yolk sac tumor
hepatocellular carcinoma
lesions of multiple myeloma
osteolytic lesions only
bladder distention and hydronephrosis with oligohydraminos in utero is likely due to
posterior urethral valves
