SCC

Peripheral Lunc Cancers

Adeno and LCC

Lunc cancer that narrows the bronchi

SCLC

Hypoxemia with normal A-a gradient

hypoventilation

Hypoxia with normal CO2, responds to 100% O2

V/Q mismatch

2 types of hypoxemic respiratory failure

V/Q mismatch or shunting.

Workup of respiratory failure.

ABG

Hypoxia

PaO2 50

Hypercapnia

Partial Pressure CO2 > 50

What is oxygenation measured by

Saturation %, controlled by FiO2 and PEEP

What is ventilation measured by

PaCO2, controlled by RR and Vt

Hypoxemic respiratory failure

Low PaO2 with a PaCO2 that is either low to normal. Usually by a cause intrinsic to the lung.

Hypercarbic respiratory failure

Defect in mechanical ventilation of the lung. A-a Gradient is normal. Increased physiologic dead space. COPD, Asthma, CF.

Workup of ARDS

CXR ABG Pulmonary Artery Catheter Bronch & BAL

Clinical monitoring of COPD patients

Serial FEV-1, Pulse Ox, Exercise Tolerance.

Workup of COPD

Retro-orbital pain, rash, myalgias and arthralgias

Dengue Fever

Painful periorbital swelling, sublingual splinter hemorrhages, diarrhea, muscle pain. eosinophillia

Trichinellosis- mexican worm that encysts into stiraited muscle.

Chronic cough (Over 4 mo) with minimal white sputum production. Wakes the patient up at night. CXR is normal, next step ?

PFT's. A cough that wakes a patient up at night is typically asthma. Metacholine challenge test or trial of inhaled glucocortacoids.

Post op from abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, how do you prevent post op pneumonia ?

Spirometry, even if you thing the incision may have been made through the ribs.

Constipation, Back pain, anemia, inc. ESR, and renal dysfunction.

MM. The hypercalcemia from bone lysis can cause constipation.

Lady is found unconscious laying face down with a body temp of 90. She is taking fluphenazine and amytriptline

Fluphenazine can disrupt thermoregulation and induce hypothermia.

Painful Necrotizing retinitis in HIV patient

HSV retinitis.

Painless retinitis with fluffy granular lesions in HIV patient

CMV retinitis

Td and Tdap recomendations for HIV patients

Tdap once in their adult life followed by Td booster q10 years.

Difference between CVID and SCID

CVID has some B cells.

Diagnostic criteria for X-Linked Agammaglobinemia

1. Recurrent bacterial infections within the first 5 years of life 2. IgG IgM and IgA are 2SD below normal 3. Absent Immunoglobins and poor response to vaccines. 4. Less than 2% CD19+ b cells in circulation

Acute dyspnea and difficulty swallowing in a patient with numerous allergies.

Aspiration of something they are allergic to which induces bronchioconstriction.

Patient had a seizure and now is holding her arm adducted and internally rotated. What type of dislocation ?

Posterior.

Patient with bells palsy, how can you tell if the lesion is in the pons or downstream ?

In the pons the facial nerve will spare the forhead.

How do you differentiate MGUS from MM ?

MGUS does not have hypercalcemia, lytic bone lesions, hypercalcemia

Concerns with a pregnant woman with chronic Hep C

Acute hepatitis with chronic Hep C will most likely be fatal. Thus vaccinate with live attenuated strain of vaccine for Hep A and Hep B.

Patient with DKA or HHS. What is the deal with their K levels.

K is moved out of the cells in reponse to acidosis and is lost due to the osmotic diuresis of glucose. Thus, they are total K depleted but have a normal value.

Patient with RA develops nephrotic syndrome, Why?

RA predisposes the patient to amyloidosis. MM also predisposes patients to developing amyloidosis.
