Alzhemimer MIR findings

Early AD, MRI may be normal

Later stages-Temporal lobe atrophy which is most prominent in the hippocampi and surrounding medial temporal lobes

Acute nitrofuratonin induced pulmonary injury

Lung injury

acute hypersenstivity pneumonitis

Long term can lead to interstitial lung disease

Initial stabilization of acute ST elevation MI

Diuretics recomented for acute pulmonary edema

B blocers standard therapy in MI but should be avoided in patients with decompensated congestive heart failure or bradycardia

Causes of hyperandrogenism in women

Primary ovarian androgens are testosterone, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrostone (DHEA)

Women with elevated testosterone with normal DHEAS leves suggest ovarian source

Elevated DHEAS levels suggest adrenal tumor

Complication of all causes of nephrotic syndrome

Most commonly associated with membranous glomerulopathy

Phenytoin toxicity

Antieptilitic that inhibits V gated Na channels

Acute toxicity intially manifests with signs of cerebellar dysfunction (horisontal nystagmus, ataxia, dysmetria, slurred speech, nausea vommiting) hyperreflexia may occur

Sever toxicity results in altered mental status, coma, paradoxical seizures and death

Fall in total and free T3 levels with normal T4 and TSH levels

Aminoglycosides major side effect

Nephrotoxic and drug levels and renal function must be monitored closley during therapy

Peritonsillar abscess

Potential complication of tonsillitis

Requires IV antibiotics and urgent drainage

Deviation of the uvula and lymphadenopathy can be helpful in distinguishing a peritonsillar abscess from epiglottis

Multifocal atrial tachycardia

Natural history of diabetic nephropathy

Brain lesions and clincial presentaitons

Babesiosis

Nonbleeding varicies

Prophylactic treatemnt with non selective beta blockers is recomended to reduce the liklihood of progression to large varicies as well as the risk of variceal hemorrhage

Bacilliary angiomatosis

Multiple myeloma

Clinical features of fibromusclar dysplasia

Vascular remodeling after MI

Can lead to dilitation of the ventricle Process lessened by ACE inhibitors

Male hypogonadism

Chikunguya fever

aphasias

Multiple system atrophy

Iorn studies in microcytic anemia

Metabolic side effects of thiazide diuretics

Hypoglycemia, increased LDL and plasma triglycerides and hyperuricima

Renal cell carcinoma

Milk alkali syndrome

Medications that can cuase hyperkalemia

Management of tricyclinc antidepressant overdose

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation

Uric acid kidney stones

Mitral stenosis

Side effects of amiodarone

ARDS

High homocystine levels

Give B6 Lowers homocystenime by acting as a cofactor for metabolism of homcystine into cystathione

Casts

Medical therapy that improves morbidity and mortality in patients with known coronary heart disease

running injuries of foot and ankle

Myoclonus

Common clinical features of untreated acromegaly

Clinical manifesations of hereditary hemochromatosis

Site of hemorrhage neurologic findings

Budd-Chiari syndrome

Differential diagnosis of myopathy

Constrictive pericarditis

Thyroditis

Clinical features of MS

Treatment of idopathic intercranial hypertension

Acetazolamide +/- furosemide Inhibits choroid plexus carbonic anhydrase, therby decreasing CSF production and IH Optic nerve sheath decompression or lunboperotoneal shunting is recomended for patients refactory to medical therapy

Scleroderna renal crisis

Renal falilrue, malgnant hypertnesion, peripheral blood smear can show microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with schistocytes and thrombocytopenia

Antithyroid drugs side effects

PTU and methimazole Fever and sore throat suggests agranulocytosis Antithyroid drugs should be stopped and WBC count checked

Nephrotic syndromes and cancer associations

Membranous nephropathy-Carcinoma Minimal change disease-Hodgkin lymphoma

PVC treatment

Only for symptomatic patients Beta blockers and Ca channel blockers are first line therapy

Clinical features of dermatomyostis
