APEA
arcus senilis - ANS-Circle around cornea, normal in older adults due to deposition of lipids.
Arcus Juvenilis - ANS-Circle around cornea often associated with lipid abnormalities in young
adults
kayer-fleischer rings - ANS-Copper deposits in the cornea may be associated with Wilson's
disease which is a genetic disorder that deposits copper in brain and liver
macular degeneration - ANS-Loss of central vision
Otitis media with effusion - ANS-Precedes an episode of acute otitis media and should not be
treated with abx, fluid can be a medium for bacterial growth
coarctation of the aorta - ANS-Often discovered in newborn phase by comparing upper and
lower extremity blood pressures. Elevated in upper and diminished blood pressures in lower
extremities
Mania - ANS-Symptoms of inflated, self-esteem and grandiosity decrease need for sleep hyper
verbosity, racing thoughts and flight of ideas distractibility and excessive involvement in
pleasurable activities that can often be associated with painful consequences later
mitral valve prolapse - ANS-Benign, most patients are asymptomatic. Murmur maybe present,
and his best oscillated with the diaphragm of the stethoscope over the cardiac Apex.
mitral regurgitation - ANS-Can lead to heart failure.
Risk factors for osteoporosis - ANS-age, skinny, smoking, alcoholics, steroids, menopause,
malnutrition, family hx, Asians/whites, vitamin d deficiency, excessive protein/phosphate intake
Sign of depression - ANS-Early morning wakening
Sign of anxiety - ANS-Difficulty falling asleep
Greatest risk of transmitting HIV - ANS-When viral loads are high, this is often before patient is
diagnosed. This is before there is detectable antibody
Framingham Heart Study - ANS-Example of a cohort study; participants agreed to follow up
study every 2 years in a long term study. Also known as prospective studies
, scarlet fever - ANS-Sandpaper rash and +rapid strep test,
ACE inhibitors - ANS-Contraindicated in pregnancy because of teratogenic effects on the renal
system of fetus. Can cause dry cough but discontinuation is elective. Associated with increased
potassium levels.
Common presentation of basal cell carcinoma - ANS-Face
Trichomoniasis treatment - ANS-Metronidazole for seven days and partner will need treatment
too
hypospadias - ANS-Condition in which the urethra opening is on the underside of the penis
instead of at the tip
Uncomplicated, UTI - ANS-Should be on antibiotic for three days, has proven to be as
efficacious as a 7 to 10 day treatment
Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - ANS-Is a long acting antihistamine that has sedative effects, and should be
avoided in altar adults
sign of Parkinson's disease - ANS-tremor, typically the hand but can involve legs, jaw, lips and
tongue
Unilateral resting tremors
Classic findings in a UTI - ANS-Positive leukocytes and nitrites
Maternal diabetes - ANS-Increases the risk of ventral septal defect, hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy
TORCH - ANS-Is an acronym used to describe five maternal infections that are deleterious to
the fetus stands for toxoplasmosis other including syphilis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes
simplex virus
Parkinson's disease - ANS-Characterized by four prominent features, including bradykinesia,
muscle rigidity, resting, tremor, and postural instability
Varicella and MMR - ANS-Are to be given on the same day or separated by at least four weeks
Plantar fasciitis diagnosis - ANS-By physical exam by dorsiflexing the patient's toes and
palpating with the thumb along the fascia, starting at the heel and progress progressing toward
the foreoot.
Smelled chart - ANS-Used to assess distant vision
