First Line Treatment for Moderate Persistent Asthma
- answer -inhaled low - dose glucocorticoids plus an inhaled long - acting beta agonist; a short - acting

Cranial bones that primarily move in flexion and extension around a transverse axis
- answer -Midline bones
What are the midline bones of the cranium?
- answer -occiput, sphenoid, ethmoid, vomer
What does the frontal bone do during sphenobasilar flexion?
- answer -it moves in external rotation
Cranial bones that primarily move in internal and external rotation
- answer -Paired bones
What are the paired bones of the crainum?
- answer -Temporals, parietals, maxilla, zygoma, nasals, palatines
,What happens during sphenobasilar flexion?
- answer -(1) Flexion of the midline bones
(2) External Rotation of the paired bones
(3) Decreased AP diameter of the cranium
(4) Extension of the sacrum
(5) Bregma descends with SBS flexion ( and ascends with extension )
Left sided colon tumors will have...
- answer -hematochezia and narrow stools
Right sided colon tumors will have ...
- answer -melena and occult blood in stool
Low calcium, low phosphate, elevated PTH
- answer -Vitamin D Deficiency --> Secondary hyperparathyroidsim
Low calcium, elevated phosphate, elevated PTH
- answer -Pseudohypoparathyroidism ( also similar labs in renal failure ); can be associated with
Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy
Elevated calcium, normal phosphate, decreased PTH
- answer -Malignancy - which cause secretion of PTH- related protein leading to an increase in calcium
and subsequent inhibition of PTH
Elevated calcium, low phosphate, elevated PTH
- answer -Primary Hyperparathyroidism
According to the American Heart Association, procedures requiring prophylaxis are:
- answer -respiratory tract of infected skin, tissues just under the skin, or musculoskeletal tissue
, The AHA's Latest Guidelines state antibiotics are required for those with:
- answer -An artificial heart valve or who have had a heart valve repaired with artificial material, a
history of endocarditis, a heart transplant with abnormal heart valve function, and cyanotic congenital
heart disease that has not been fully repaired.
Atypical Depression
- answer -mood reactivity + weight gain, hypersomnia, leaden paralysis, or sensitivity to rejection
Melancholic Depression
- answer -lack of mood reactivity, early morning awakening / insomnia, and weight loss/anorexia
The diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism should follow the following algorithm:
- answer -First measure the plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity; if it is greater
than 25, proceed to sodium loading tests, where patients are given oral sodium or fludrocortisone over
3 days; if the plasma aldosterone level is not suppressed below 10ng/dL, the patient has primary
hyperaldosteronism.
Symptoms of Cocaine and amphetamine withdrawal
- answer -dysphoria, excessive sleep, and hunger
Symptoms of opioid withdrawal
- answer -rhinorrhea, lacrimation, yawning, abdominal and leg cramping, piloerection, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and dilated pupils
A major symptom of alcohol withdrawal
- answer -seizures
Associated with cocaine use
- answer -Increased sense of energy
