Rheumatoid arthritis treatment
NSAIDs (for acute pain/crisis)
First line:
Methotrexate
Others
CD 20 inhibitor: leuflonide
TNF inhibitor: rituximab
MOA of Rituximap
TNF inhibitor
Treatment for neuroleptic malignant sydrome
Dantroline or bromocriptine
Treatment of Serotonin sd
Cyproheptadine (antihistamine: blocks serotonin production)
Benzos: for altered mental status
Treatment of Bullous penphigoid vs. Pephigus vulgaris
Bullous penphigoid: topical corticosteroids (eg, clobetasol)
Pephigus bulgaris: systemic steroids +/- azathriopine, mycophenolate, IVGI, rituximab
Wilms Tumor
Embryonic glomerular structure.
Most common renal malignancy. 2-5 yoa
Asymptomatic
Palpable mass
+/- Hematuria, hypertension, absominal pain
WARG Wilms tumor Aniridia Retardation Genitourinary malformations
Neuroblastoma
Adrenal medulla tumor
Kids <2yoa
Tumor crosses mid line (vs. pheochromocytoma)
Periorbital echymosis (raccoon eyes)
Opsoclonus-myoclonus (dancing eyes and feet)
Diagnosis: catecholamine metabolites in blood, n-myc oncogene, small round blue cells on hystology
Dxx: Wills tumor

Dxx of foot pain
Stress fracture:
Arthritis
Morton neuroma
Tarsal tunnel sd
Stress fracture: localized pain, seen specially in runners, dorsal surface, 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsal
Arthritis: pain in the joints, not localized
Morton neuroma: pain between 3rd and 4th toe. Plantar surface, clicking sound on palpation
Tarsal tunnel sd: after anckle fractures. Burning sensation, aching and numbness on plantar surface
DIfference between intraparenchymal vs. subarachnoid hemorrhage
Intraparenchymal: focalization symptoms that worsen within a few hours. Blood is in the brain. (If hypertension: basal ganglia, av malformation in kids)
Subarachnoid: sudden headache without focalization. Blood is in between the sulci.
Patophysiology of hyper IgM sd
CD 40 ligand on T cells deficiency… prevents Ig class switching because it cant bind to CD40 receptor on B cells
CT findings of High grade astrocytoma
High grade astrocytoma = glioblastoma multiforme
Butterfly appearance with central necrosis. Serpentiginous, well defined enhancing
Vs. abseces: enhancing is thicker and diffuse
