Low calcium, low phosphate, elevated PTH - CORRECT ANSWER-Vitamin D
Deficiency --> Secondary hyperparathyroidsim
,Low calcium, elevated phosphate, elevated PTH - CORRECT ANSWER-
Pseudohypoparathyroidism ( also similar labs in renal failure ); can be associated
with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy
Elevated calcium, normal phosphate, decreased PTH - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER-Primary
Hyperparathyroidism
According to the American Heart Association, procedures requiring prophylaxis
are: - CORRECT 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: -
CORRECT 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 - CORRECT ANSWER-mood reactivity + weight gain,
hypersomnia, leaden paralysis, or sensitivity to rejection
,Melancholic Depression - CORRECT ANSWER-lack of mood reactivity, early
morning awakening / insomnia, and weight loss/anorexia
The diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism should follow the following
algorithm: - CORRECT 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.

Moderate Persistent Asthma - CORRECT ANSWER-Symptoms daily and night
time awakenings more than once a week but not nightly
First Line Treatment for Moderate Persistent Asthma - CORRECT ANSWER-
inhaled low - dose glucocorticoids plus an inhaled long - acting beta agonist; a
short - acting inhaled beta agonist is also given for exacerbations
Cranial bones that primarily move in flexion and extension around a transverse
axis - CORRECT ANSWER-Midline bones
, What are the midline bones of the cranium? - CORRECT ANSWER-occiput,
sphenoid, ethmoid, vomer
What does the frontal bone do during sphenobasilar flexion? - CORRECT
ANSWER-it moves in external rotation
Cranial bones that primarily move in internal and external rotation - CORRECT
ANSWER-Paired bones
What are the paired bones of the crainum? - CORRECT ANSWER-Temporals,
parietals, maxilla, zygoma, nasals, palatines
A major symptom of alcohol withdrawal - CORRECT ANSWER-seizures
Associated with cocaine use - CORRECT ANSWER-Increased sense of energy
Pauciarticular onset JRA - CORRECT ANSWER-Female patient, under 5 yrs of
age, four or fewer joints; chief complaint / physical findings will be painless limp
and knee swelling; complications are uveitis, iridocyclitis, and asymmetrical leg
length
