Physical exam is normal except for symmetric lower extremity weakness and decreased deep tendon reflexes. Sensation is normal. What is the most likely diagnosis? • Guillain-Barré syndrome • poliomyelitis • tick paralysis • transverse myelitis • viral hepatitis

  16. Guillain-Barré syndrome • Autoimmune etiology • Distal weakness is more common • The ascending paralysis is characteristically symmetric or nearly symmetric • The facial and other cranial nerves are involved in 25%-50% of the patients. • Motor deficits predominate • DTRs arealmost always absent in the affected extremities • Recent bacterial infection, preceding Campylobacter jejuni infection, and influenza vaccination have all been associated

  17. Guillain-Barré syndrome • Diagnosis is based on the patient’s clinical presentation • Analysis of CSF: Albuminocytologic dissociation, in which the CSF has a protein content of greater than 400 mg/L and a cell count of less than 10/ml • Heavy metal poisoning, volatile hydrocarbon abuse, acute intermittent porphyria are all on the diff dx

  18. 35 year old female with hx of multifocal neuro deficit. The best way to make the diagnosis is: • A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation • CT of the head • Lumbar puncture • MRI of the head • EMG and NCS

  19. A 2 year old male presents after being struck by a car

  20. Assuming the patient is stable, the next step would be to • A) obtain a CT of the abdomen and pelvis • B) insert a foley catheter • C) perform a retrograde urethrogram • D) perform a diagnostic peritoneal lavage • E) obtain an intravenous pyelogram

  21. 59 yom with acute chest pain and weakness to left arm. ECG shows ST elevation in anterior leads. Treatment should include all of the above, except: • Nitrates • Beta blockers • Thrombolytics • ASA • Ca channel blockers

  22. Where is the most common site of bursitis in the body? Olecranon

  23. The most frequent cause of fetal death following blunt abdominal trauma during pregnancy is Placental abruption

  24. The antihypertensive most likely responsible for this finding is a(n) • ACE inhibitor • Beta blocker • Calcium channel blocker • Diuretic • Nitrate

  25. Abrupt shaking chills, rusty sputum, lobar consolidation Strep pneumo ETOH abuse, current jelly sputum, lobar infiltrate with bulging fissure • Klebsiella HA, malaise, nonproductive cough,interstitial infiltrates • Mycoplasma Old smoker, high fever, dry cough, toxic appearance, patchy infiltrate, pleural effusion • Legionella

  26. 53 year old man involved in an MVA and suffered a neck injury. The most likely injury is: • Dissection of carotid artery • jugular vein • Injury to C7-T2 • Epidural hematoma • C1-C2 fracture

  27. Horner’s Syndrome • Unilateral facial ptosis, miosis, and anhydrosis • Damage to the cervical sympathetic plexus • Cluster headaches may show Horner’s • Horner’s syndrome may also result from • Aortic dissection • Advanced malignancy • Occlusion of the PICA (Wallenberg syndrome) • Posterior pharynx abscesses

  28. What is the most common cause of painful hip in children? Transient synovitis

  30. Most likely suffers from • A) hyperkalemia • B) hyperthyroidism • C) supraventricular tachycardia • D) cocaine abuse • E) idiopathic palpitations

  31. Delta waves – WPW syndrome

  32.

  33. Slipped Femoral Capital Epiphysis • Often atraumatic, boys 10-17 years (obese) • Left more common than right • Insidious onset • Stiffness in the hip • An abduction and external rotational deformity is characteristic • CT scan, an MRI scan, or a bone scan should be considered if a fracture is clinically suggested but remains radiographically occult after plain radiographs. • Treatment is Internal fixation

  34. What is Beck’s triad? Muffled heart tones Hypotension Increased JVD

  35. 6 year old presents with fever, sore throat and a rash

  36. The following are true of this disease • A) Penicillin is the treatment of choice • B) It’s natural history is to resolve spontaneously without sequelae • C) The most common etiology is Strep pneumoniae • D) It is contagious only before the rash erupts • E) It is most common in children less than 3 years of age

  37. This 2 year old child presents with drooling. He is otherwise in no distress. The next step should be: • Rapid intubation • Ipecac administration • Barium swallow study • Call the friendly GI doc • Meat tenderizer

  42. 38 year old patient with HIV presents with fever, shortness of breath and dry cough for 1 week. ABG shows PO2 of 59. The treatment should include all except: • Oxygen therapy • Intubation if in distress • Bactrim IV • Triple med regimen for TB • Steroids

  43. PCP • PCP is the most common opportunistic infection in AIDS • Uncommon in patients with CD4 >200/mm3 • Nonproductive cough, fever, shortness of breath, diffuse interstitial infiltrates on chest radiograph, and arterial hypoxemia • Bilateral interstitial infiltrates that begin in the perihilar region- can vary considerably, ranging from a normal appearance to dense consolidation • Prednisone is indicated for moderate-to-severe PCP who have a PaO2 less than 70 mm Hg or an A-a gradient greater than 35 mm Hg.

  44. 8-week-old boy presents with cough and low-grade fever and conjunctivitis Chlamydia

  45. The following etiologies are associated with the condition shown on this radiograph, except: • Collagen vascular diseases • Previous hip dislocation • Prolonged corticosteroid use • Sickle cell anemia • Thallasemia minor

  46. This 6 year old presents after being treated at his PCP clinic for 3 days of vomiting

  47. A reasonable next step would be to • A) Obtain a CT of the head • B) Perform a lumbar puncture • C) Obtain a cervical spine series • D) Administer diphenhydramine • E) Sneak up on the child’s left side and yell “BOO” to see if he’s faking this and will turn his head
