Tuberculosis
Give this one a try later!
An infectious disease that especially attacks the lungs/throat (but does
affect the whole body)
- can look like pneumonia, bronchitis, or cancer
,How is Hep A transmitted
Give this one a try later!
"fecal-oral route"
ie sewage left in the drinking water or food
Serum Amylase rises _______ and lasts ________
Serum Lipase rises __________ and lasts ________
Give this one a try later!
Amylase: rises early, but only stays elevated for 1-3 days
Lipase: rises later but stays elevated for 1-2 weeks
What are the 2 drugs used for long term DUAL antiplatelet therapy?
Give this one a try later!
Aspirin (ASA) and Plavix (Clopidogrel)
- take for 1 year or lifetime after ACS/stent surgery
If a Heart Failure patient has LOW blood pressure, should you hold their ACEi's? Or if
a patient has Low HR, do you stop giving them their Beta Blockers?
,Give this one a try later!
NOO!!!
Managing heart failure >>> is more important than >>> slightly low vitals!
- don't even stop medicating them for renal failure, just switch drugs
TRANSMURAL Myocardial Infarction
Give this one a try later!
Transmural = full thickness damage to heart muscle aka STEMI
Cause: acute coronary artery thrombosis = severe prolonged ischemia =
lack of O2 = myocyte death
ECG: Q wave present, ST elevation
Modifiable CAD risk factors
Give this one a try later!
, - smoking
- stress
- sedentary activity
- obesity
- hyperlipidemia (decr fat intake)
- Hypertension
(decr salt, quit smoking)
- Diabetes mellitus
- Metabolic Syndrome
- high homocysteine levels (amino acid from meat)
Uncompensated Metabolic Acidosis looks like
Give this one a try later!
Low HCO3 (the cause)
Normal CO2 (not adjusted yet)
pH low (acidic)
(2 values abnormal, 1 normal = uncompensated)
2 Causes of Metabolic Acidosis
Give this one a try later!
1. Loss of base
- diarrhea
2. Increased acid levels
- renal failure = not excreting acid
- diabetic ketoacidosis
- starvation
