◉ idiopathic or caused by viral infection.
Answer: what is the etiology of pericarditis
◉ drop in Arterial bp by more than 10 mmHg in inspiration.
Answer: pulsus paradoxus
◉ arterial BP during expiration exceeds arterial pressure during
inspiration by more than 10 mmHg.
Answer: What is pulsus paradoxus
◉ dyspnea, tachycardia, jugular venous distention, cardiomegaly, and
pulsus paradoxus.
Answer: symptoms of cardiac tamponade
◉ what test do you do to check the functioning of a valve.
Answer: Echocardiogram
,◉ enlarged, superficial veins; a twisted, dilated vein w/ incompetent
valves.
Answer: varicose veins
◉ (1) trauma to the saphenous veins that damages one or more valves,
or (2) gradual venous distention caused by the action of gravity on blood
in the legs.
Answer: Causes of varicose veins
◉ condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein
blockage or leakage of venous valves; primarily affects feet and ankles;
discoloration of the skin. Makes it difficult for blood to return to the
heart from the legs.
Answer: chronic venous insufficiency/ venous insufficiency
◉ Pituitary adenoma usually benign and slow growing. arise from the
anterior pituitary..
Answer: Hyperpituitarism
◉ endocrine disorder. occurs when the pituitary gland produces an
excessive amount of growth hormone after the completion of puberty.
Answer: Acromegaly
◉ Slowly progressive disease. Connective tissue proliferation.
Hypersecretion of growth hormone.
Answer: hypothyroidism
, ◉ -automimune thyroiditis (Hashimoto)
-Iatrogenic loss of thyroid tissue after surgical or radioactive treatment.
Answer: Hypothyroidism
◉ 1. poor concentration, memory, dementia, psychosis, coma
2. seizures
3. headaches (pseudotumor cerebri)
4. CN: papilledema, ptosis, tonic pupil, trigeminal neuralgia, facial
palsy, tinnitus, hearing loss
5. cerebellar ataxia: truncal + gait ataxia > limb ataxia, dysarthria,
nystagmus
5. NMJ: myasthenia gravis
6. nerves: carpal tunnel, polyneuropathy, delayed DTR.
Answer: neurological manifestations of hypothyroidism
◉ a common form of hyperthyroidism resulting from overproduction of
thyroxine; caused by a false immune system response (goiter is often
formed). Antibodies to TSH receptor that stimulate T3 and T4
production. Diffuse nontender goiter. Proptosis and extraocular muscle
dysfunction occurs in 50% of cases..
Answer: Graves (or Graves') disease
◉ Type II hypersensitivity where there is stimulation of the thyroid by
antibodies directed against the TSH receptor
