1. In hypothyroidism what do you usually see in regards to HSN: Dry brittle nails
and coarse hair
2. What is the strongest risk factor for developing nonmelanoma skin cancer?-
: UV rays
3. If 2 features of ABCDE are present what should be done: biopsy
4. What is solar elastosis: Yellow thickened skin with bumps, wrinkles, or furrowing
5. Terry nails: Seen in liver disease Nail plate turns white with a ground-glass
appearance, a distal band of reddish brown, and obliteration of the lunula
6. What is tinea capitis?: ringworm of the scalp
Mostly seen in children
7. How many inches / month does a child's hair grow: 1cm/month
8. Congenital nevi are not commonly found in children t/f: false, they are very
common.
9. What are the most commonly pigmented nevi: mongolian spots, cafe au lait
spots
10. Vascular malformations are NOT present at birth t/f: false, they are present
at birth BUT HEMANGIOMAS are not present at birth and emerge by 1 mo of age.
11. Pemberton's sign: facial flushing (facial plethora), distended head and neck
superficial veins, inspiratory stridor, increased JVP upon raising both arms above
head. Positive in SVC syndrome (associated with small cell lung carcinoma/mediat-
ing mass )
12. Hard or fixed nodes suggest what: malignancy
13. Nodules > -- cm, frim , and fixed to adjacent tissues are concerning for
malignancy: 2cm
14. Myxedema is associated with: Hypothyroidism
15. open angle glaucoma: the most common form of glaucoma, where the tra-
becular meshwork gradually becomes blocked, causing a buildup of pressure -
GRADUAL
- peripheral loss
normal spatial relationship between iris and cornea is preserved and iris is fully lit
16. Macular degeneration: Loss of central vision
17. What are contraindications for mydriaic drops (dilation): pregnancy, breast
feeding, suspicion of narrow angle glaucoma, coma, head injury
18. What does absence of red eye reflex indicate: fake eye, retinoblastoma,
retinal detachment, cataracts
19. Optic disc should look like ---: pink and yellow with defined edges, 1.5mm
(optic disc.

20. What is bullous myringitis: A bullous/vesicular inflammation of the tympanic
membrane that may occur in association with acute otitis media.
URGENT may require surgery
21. What is the anterior posterior diameter to lateral chest diameter:: 0.7-0.75.
Increases with age and in COPD >0.9 (Barrel chest wall appearance)
22. When do you have decreased tactile fremitus ?: COPD, Pleural effusion,
Pneumothorax
23. How big should the PMI be?: <2.5 cm if > 2.5 evidence of LV hypertrophy
24. Dextrocardia: heart displaced to the right
25. What is pulsus alternans?: alternating weak and strong pulses
26. What is paradoxical pulses ?: Greater than normal drop in BP during inspira-
tion. Usually there should not be a difference greater than 3-4 mmhg
Found in pericardial tamponade
27. What is PAD?: Peripheral artery disease is caused by arteriosclerosis, or "hard-
ening of the arteries." This problem occurs when fatty material (plaque) builds up on
the walls of your arteries and makes them narrower. The walls of the arteries also
become stiffer and cannot widen (dilate) to allow greater blood flow when needed.
28. Symptoms of PAD: - Pain or swelling in legs or arm
- Pain relieved by rest after 10 min (intermittent claudication)
- Abdominal pain - "food fear" - abdomen is not able to get enough oxygen and
therefore causes pain in the abdomen.
-
- Cold, numbness, pallor, or discoloration in the legs/hair loss
29. Expanding hematoma from AAA may cause symptoms of compression of
the bowel, aortic branch, and ureters. If missed may cause -->: Bowel necrosis
or death
30. Pulsus parvus: small, weak pulse
31. Pulsus Tardus: sluggish Pulse with slow upstroke (aortic stenosis)
32. Assessing PAD - Ankle brachial index: Normal ragne .090-1.40.
<0.5 severe PAD.
Pressure in ankle is usually higher than arm.
33. PAD -: Thin, dry, scaly skin, hairless,
Poor pulses. No swelling.
Ulcer: end of toes, lateral ankle, top of feet.
Little drainage.
