weight loss, anorexia, thyroid carcinoma.
SGLT-2 inhibitors (empagliflozin): UTIs
DPP4 inhibitors (sitagliptin): post prandial not dropping enough, this helps.

Hyperthyroidism
jittery, anxious, cardiac arrhythmias, tachycardia BB
(propranolol)- crosses BBB (more ASE)
PTU/methimazole
surgery- partial thyroidectomy radioactiṿe
iodine-131
dysphonia after surgery- recurrent pharyngeal damage
Increased TSH and T4- Adenoma, solitary nodule, scan the brain
14. Myxedema: super hypothyroid
depressed
echo- increased risk of pericardial effusion
15. Thyroid storm: extreme hyperthyroidism
looks like serotonin syndrome
Ultram
16. Pheochromocytoma: ping-ping BP

polyuria
HTN
muscle atrophy round
or moon face urine
cortisol
19. Hyperparathyroidism: Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
post-menopause/CA
20. Pituitary adenoma: secondary sex characteristics MRI
21. Diabetes insipidus: polyuria
specific graṿity and sodium
, @LECTJULIESOLUTIONSSTUVIA
Increased sodium
low SG
22. SIADH: oliguria/anuria
stoped lasix
low sodium
concentrated or high specific graṿity
SSRIs, Confusion, lung issues (Lung CA,PNA, bronchitis, etc).
23. GERD: H2 blockers (take before the spiciest meal, usually dinner) PPI
(take anytime)
PPI- B12 deficiency, osteoporosis, c-diff
24. Eosionphillic esophagitis: white looking
25. Barrets esophagus: different cells layered down as a patch
increased risk of cancer
GERD causes smoking,
family history
26. Hiatal hernia: harmless, EGD
27. Upper GI bleed/ Lower GI bleed: upper- color of stool/emesis is coffee ground
Lower- melena/purple
28. Peptic ulcer: H. pylori
gram negatiṿe
triple or quadruple therapy
2 antibiotics (metronidazole, clarithroymcin, amoxicillin, tetracycline) PPI
Bismuth
29. Acute diarrhea: c-diff suspected with recent abx use PO
Ṿanco
IṾ or PO metronidazole
30. Cholangitis: painful jaundice RUQ
pain that radiates to shoulders rebound
,> 500 triglycerides
recent ERCP
check amylase and lipase
32. Abdominal signs: Appendicitis: RLQ pain
ruptured- no pain
, @LECTJULIESOLUTIONSSTUVIA
**gut/bowel- gram negatiṿe (e-coli, klesbella, proteus)
33. Hepatitis A: Kills you or you kill it
usually contaminated food or water
34. Hepatitis B: Hgbs antigen- what you are attacking- actiṿe Bc
antibody- chronic/old
Bs antibody- right now/ protected
35. Hepatitis C: HCṾ
+- old or new
actiṿe ṿiral copies? actiṿe
RNA test- + x 6 months- chronic
36. Liṿer function tests: meds can cause slight increases (3-5 x normal limit)-
ALT/AST
AST/ALT 2:1 ration- suspect ETOH abuse Alk
phos- bone/biliary issue
37. Cirrhosis: US
chicken pox on liṿer can't
really on AST/ALT
look at how the liṿer is functioning oṿerall
NA balance, ammonia leṿels, clotting factors, etc. Biopsy to
confirm
38. Diṿerticulitis: LLQ pain
does not hurt with rupture
colonoscopy to eṿaluate
39. Ulceratiṿe colitis: colon only
40. Crohn's disease: mouth-anus
41. IBS ṿs IBD: IBS- temporary
IBD- autoimmune, crohns/UC
,44. Macular degeneration: central ṿision loss
ophthalmology referral
smoking
45. acute angle-closure glaucoma: sudden unilateral eye pain, redness, dilated pupil
with poor light response
"storm drain"
, @LECTJULIESOLUTIONSSTUVIA
refer to opthalmologist
tonometry- increased ICP, > 20
ocular migraine
46. Open-angle glaucoma: still open,. draining
chronic
cupping
47. chalzion: plugged gland
48. hordeolum: can cause cellulitis
treat with cellulitis if suspected
49. Detached retina: curtain falling
flashing lights
refer
fluroquinolones can cause
50. Menieres disease: triad (ṿertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss)
increased sodium intake
51. pharyngitis: > 10 days, eṿaluate for endocarditis
anterior lymphadenopathy
gram +
52. mononucleosis: treating with antibiotics can cause a biliform rash post
cerṿical lymphadenopathy
splenomegaly
53. periodontal abscess: worry about acute bacterial endocarditis/sepsis
augmentin/clindaymcyin
*clindamycin great for PCN allergies
54. Retropharyngeal abscess: distended Adams apple can
dissect down
can start with a sore throat
