_____ deficiency typically occurs in patients with a
history of gastric surgery (eg, bariatric), chronic
malabsorption (eg, inflammatory bowel disease),
or excessive zinc ingestion. Symptoms include
slowly progressive myeloneuropathy similar to that
of vitamin B12 deficiency (eg, distal extremity
paresthesia, numbness, sensory ataxia), anemia,
hair fragility, skin depigmentation,
hepatosplenomegaly, edema, and osteoporosis. -
answer Copper
_____ syndrome occurs after the reintroduction of
nutrition in patients with chronic malnourishment.
Clinical manifestations include _____ and other
electrolyte abnormalities, muscle weakness,
arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. - answer
Refeeding
hypophosphatemia
,_____ syndrome typically occurs in the setting of
severe burns, sepsis, or hyperthyroidism. It
typically results in ongoing protein catabolism and
weight loss despite adequate nutrition; severe
electrolyte derangements and muscle weakness
would be unexpected early in the clinical course. -
answer Hypermetabolic
_____ is a benign tumor most often seen in young
and middle-age women who take oral
contraceptives. Possible long-term complications
include progressive growth, rupture, and
malignant transformation. - answer Hepatic
adenoma
Retroperitoneal hematoma can occur as a local
vascular complication of cardiac catheterization,
and often presents with sudden hemodynamic
instability and ipsilateral flank or back pain.
Diagnosis is confirmed with ____ and/or _____
Treatment is usually supportive with bed rest,
intensive monitoring, and intravenous fluids and/or
blood transfusion. - answer CT scan of abdomen
and pelvis or abdominal ultrasonography.
Patients with ___ classically have the triad of
respiratory distress (eg, tachypnea, hypoxemia),
neurologic dysfunction (eg, confusion), and a
, petechial rash - answer FES (Fat Embolism
Syndrome)
An _____ can develop as a complication of vascular
access during cardiac catheterization. Patients
typically have mild localized pain and swelling and
a continuous bruit accompanied by a palpable thrill
over the fistula site. - answer arteriovenous fistula
_____ are the most common lung malignancy in
young nonsmokers. They typically arise in the
proximal airway and cause airway obstruction (eg,
dyspnea, wheezing, postobstructive pneumonia) or
hemoptysis. CT scan with contrast usually reveals
an avidly enhancing (ie, hypervascular) mass with
an endobronchial component. - answer Bronchial
carcinoid tumors
____ cell carcinoma most often presents
radiographically as a bulky hilar and mediastinal
mass
____ cell carcinoma often presents with central
cavitation (ie, heterogeneous density) due to
tumor necrosis. - answer Small
squamous
