MUGA scan is the most accurate test for measuring ejection fraction. it is not teh best initial tes. the best initial test is echocard.

echocard is actually teh least accurate method. angio and cath are better.

its hepatic venous outflow obstruction.

may be thrombotic or non thrombotic

The classic triad of abdominal pain, ascites, and hepatomegaly is observed in the vast majority of patients but is nonspecific.




  • Acute and subacute form: These are characterized by rapid development of abdominal pain, ascites, hepatomegaly, jaundice, and renal failure.
  • Chronic form: This is the most common form of presentation. Patients present with progressive ascites. Jaundice is absent, and approximately 50% of patients also have renal impairment.
  • Fulminant form: This form of presentation is uncommon. Fulminant or subfulminant hepatic failure is present along with ascites, tender hepatomegaly, jaundice, and renal failure

when do we use glucocorticoids in hypercalcemia?
Glucocorticoid therapy plays an important role in the treatment of certain types of hypercalcemia, such as vitamin D intoxication and those forms associated with granulomatous diseases, which are linked to increased intestinal calcium absorption. These drugs directly decrease intestinal calcium absorption while simultaneously decreasing the activity of 1-alpha-hydroxylase. Glucocorticoids may also have an antitumor effect in specific neoplasms, such as lymphoma

An asymptomatic 3 y.o is brought to the physician becoz of rt.cheek swelling.The mother states that the pt. had been in his normal state of health until 1hr ago,when he developed rt. cheek swelling at a church picnic. Pt. is afebrile.Physical exam.....unremarkable xcept for rt. cheek, which is erythematous but not warmto touch.On palpation of the rt. cheek, mildly tender, dicrete,indurated masses r appreciated.Which of the following is the most likely cause of this child's problem?
1.Erysipelas
2.Cellulitis
3.Trauma
4.Panniculitis
5.Contact dermatitis



Panniculitis.......secondary to cold injury to fat & is characterised by the development of indurated lesions that resemble buccal cellulitis.
Young children who hold popsicles in their mouths maybe prone to panniculitis.

No h/o trauma
Cellulitis......distinct margins, warm, tender, indurated
Contact dermatitis...erythematous/papulovesicular rash on xposure to contactant

3 yo child with recurrent rt. lower lobe pneumonia.Growth parameters---25th percentile, & developmentally appropriate for his age.
PMH----ear infection at 18 months & gastroenteritis at 2 yrs of age.
Which of the following conditions is most likely responsible for this pt.'s disease?
1.Primary B- or T- cell immunodeficiency
2.Cystic fibrosis
3.Chediak higashi syn.
4.Congenital lung abnormality
5.Foreign body aspiration

ans is foriegn body asp. as only rt. lobe involved

Foreign body aspiration is the most common cause of recurrent pneumonia in an otherwise healthy 3 yo child. Becoz of the lung's anatomy,the rt.side is more common for aspiration.
Immunodeficinecy disorders........recurrent infections by oppurtunistic organisms+failure to thrive
Cystic fibrosis....failure to thrive, malabsorption,clubbing
Chediak higashi.....recurrent infections of skin & mucous membranes & RS, albinism.
Congenital lung abnormalities......present at a much earlier age.
