1st question thiazide diuretics can decrease Ca urinary excretion.. Furosemide can increase urinary Ca excretion.. High yield!
2nd Supine CXrays, with bowel perforation you can see air under the diaphragm...
3rd this one is scabies no constitutional symptoms and isolated itching all points toward scabies..
4th TMPSM is indicated for UTI prophyllaxis in patients woth chronic infectious prostatitis, patients with chronic prostatitis may develope recurrent UTIS because of urinary tract obstruction and because bacteria may ascend from the prostate to the urethra and then to the rest of urinary tract..
5th Intraductal adenoma
6th Huntington's chorea has a lesion at the caudate nucleus..
7th Toughy, normal aging produces poor sleep... Ta da!!!!
8th Cyclosporine
9th E
10th Haloperidol
11th Overweight is associated with higher estrogen levels, remember adipose tissue has some sort of aromatase activity which may produce increased amounts of estrogen levels..
12th From my perspective left pontine.. I found something useful in UW, I will post this later..
13th fistula in ano
14th Arthrocentesis is always the best next step in the management in any patient with an acutely inflamed joint, first thing you need to rule out is an infectious arthritis, why? because this pathology produces a rapid destruction of the joint so this is a medical emergency.. Note that previous joint trauma/destruction is an important risk factor for developing infectious arthritis.. Thats why patients with rheumatoid arthritis which have joint destruction are at increased risk of IA..
15th Oral contraceptives decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer.. Why? there has been shown that anything that increases the number of total ovulations increases the risk of ovarian cancer and (also the opposite is true) anything that decreases the number of total ovulations decreases the risk of ovarian cancer.. So according to this simple rule of thumb multiple pregnancies decrease the risk, oral contraceptives decrease the risk.. And the opposite nulliparity increases the risk and ovulation inducers such as clomifene increases the risk..

MAZINGER EXCELLENT EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!nod


  #462

Thank u zianab, I really made final conclusions about two questions thanks to your posts... I was not sure about the scabies thing, but after you picked this one I knew I was on the right track.. The second I had my doubts on was the sleeping thing the fact that the pt quited his job made me think something associated with depression or even worse I started fantazising again.. At this moment of my life my only job is to perform surgery to my books, and my sleep wake cycle is all messed up.. So my own conclussions of my life, NOT HAVING A FORMAL JOB CAN SCREW UP YOUR SLEEP PATTERN... hahaha anyways we all agree its normal aging...

14. A 7-week-old boy is brought to the physician because of fever,
irritability, and lethargy for 3 days. He has had no vomiting, diarrhea, or symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. He always seems hungry to his mother despite being fed 3 ounces of formula every 3 hours. His mother also notes that he has many wet diapers throughout the day and night. He currently appears irritable. His
temperature is 37.8 C (100 F), blood pressure is 80/50 mm Hg, pulse is
150/min, and respirations are 25/min. Examination shows a sunken
anterior fontanelle. Mucous membranes are dry. There is tenting of the
skin. Examination shows no other abnormalities. Urinalysis is negative for glucose and
protein.

Long time I posted..let me try the qs..

1)D]Captopril..upto 139 systolic is very well managed by diet and exercise alone..more than that requires medical intervention..ACE inhibitors to start with.

2)c]Neurogenic bladder..30 yr history of Diabetis..ruling out other options..

3)B]Fasting blood glucose and insulin..hyperinsulenemia

4)A]Evaluation at 14years required when breast development not present..can be delayed to 16 yeras if breast development is present..

5)Don't know

6)B]Abdominal ultrasonography

7)D]Slipped capitel femoral epiphysis..'examine the hip of an obese child presenting with knee pain'...internal rotation producing pain.

8)D]Postural reflex impairment..most disabling is bradykinesia..but making the parkinsonian patient prone to injury is postural reflex impairment.
