lungs due to a viral infection. It usually only occurs in children less than two years
of age. Symptoms may include fever, cough, runny nose, wheezing, and breathing
problems.
bacterial bronchitis - ANSWER ✓ Antibiotics are not used to treat bronchitis
except for people whose infection is caused by bacteria (for example, during an
outbreak). When an antibiotic is used, a drug such as azithromycin or
clarithromycin is most often given. Antibiotics do not help people with viral
bronchitis.
pancreatitis risk factors - ANSWER ✓ The most common causes for pancreatitis
are alcohol abuse and gallbladder disease (e.g., gallstones). Pancreatitis also can be
genetic (called hereditary pancreatitis) or can develop as a result of abdominal
trauma (e.g., injury, surgery).
pancreatitis lab values - ANSWER ✓ Serum amylase. An increase of amylase in
the blood usually indicates pancreatitis. Serum lipase. Sudden (acute) pancreatitis
almost always raises the level of lipase in the blood.
Navicular stress fractures - ANSWER ✓ Navicular stress fractures (NSF) are
uncommon but serious injuries, characterized by a chronic midfoot ache at the top
of the arch of the foot in front of the ankle. The cause is a repetitive chronic load to
,the midfoot, often from dynamic sporting-type activities. NSF is difficult to
diagnose as it may not be seen on regular X-Rays
Mills Test - ANSWER ✓ The clinician palpates the patient's lateral epicondyle
with one hand, while pronating the patient's forearm, fully flexing the wrist, the
elbow extended. 3. A reproduction of pain in the area of the insertion at the lateral
epicondyle indicates a positive test.
McMurray Test - ANSWER ✓ With the patient supine the examiner holds the
knee and palpates the joint line with one hand, thumb on one side and fingers on
the other, whilst the other hand holds the sole of the foot and acts to support the
limb and provide the required movement through range. The examiner then applies
a valgus stress to the knee whilst the other hand rotates the leg externally and
extends the knee. Pain and/or an audible click while performing this maneuver can
indicate a torn medial meniscus. To examine the lateral meniscus the examiner
repeats this process from full flexion but applies a varus stress to the knee and
medial rotation to the tibia prior to extending the knee once again.
vulgus and varus - ANSWER ✓ a deformity involving oblique displacement of
part of a limb away from the midline.
Rice - ANSWER ✓ Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Rotator cuff
mild ankle sprain
butterfly rash - ANSWER ✓ In medicine, malar rash (from Latin mala 'jaw,
cheek-bone'), also called butterfly rash, is a medical sign consisting of a

Osgood-Schlatter - ANSWER ✓ Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD), also known as
apophysitis of the tibial tubercle, is inflammation of the patellar ligament at the
tibial tuberosity. It is characterized by a painful bump just below the knee that is
worse with activity and better with rest. Episodes of pain typically last a few
months.
Dupuytren's - ANSWER ✓ Dupuytren's (du-pwe-TRANZ) contracture is a hand
deformity that usually develops over years. The condition affects a layer of tissue
that lies under the skin of your palm. Knots of tissue form under the skin —
eventually creating a thick cord that can pull one or more fingers into a bent
position.
growth plate fractures - ANSWER ✓ A growth plate fracture affects the layer of
growing tissue near the ends of a child's bones. ... An improperly treated growth
plate fracture could result in a fractured bone ending up more crooked or shorter
than its opposite limb. With proper treatment, most growth plate fractures heal
without complications.
fibromyalgia test trigger points - ANSWER ✓
