Integrating evidence-based medicine into reasoning Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Which heart sounds are characteristically heard at the apex (using the bell in the left lateral decubitus position) in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)?

Answer: S4 and Mid-systolic murmur

Extra: In Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the S4 gallop reflects atrial contraction into a stiff, hypertrophied left ventricle. The mid-systolic murmur is caused by dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Both are best heard at the apex or left lower sternal border, often using the bell in the left lateral decubitus position for the S4.

Flashcard 2: Lab results of S. pneumoniae meningitis include _____ protein in CSF (high or low)

Answer: high

Flashcard 3: On a non-contrast head CT, acute bleeding appears as _____ lesions

Answer: hyperattenuated (bright)

Flashcard 4: _____ is used to confirm diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia

Answer: Bronchoalveolar lavage

Flashcard 5: What mnemonic is used to help in the diagnosis of measles (rubeola)?_____

Answer: 4 C's (cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, koplik spots)

Flashcard 6: The _____ blot used to be the confirmatory test for HIV after a positive ELISA

Answer: Western

Flashcard 7: What are the clinical manifestations and genetic basis of Tuberous Sclerosis?

Answer: Clinical features: Cutaneous angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum), hypomelanotic macules (ash-leaf spots), Shagreen patches, seizures, intellectual disability, retinal hamartomas, cortical tubers, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA), renal angiomyolipomas, and cardiac rhabdomyomas.::List the clinical features and genetics of Tuberous Sclerosis.

Extra: Genetics: Autosomal Dominant (AD) with variable expressivity; mutations in TSC1 (hamartin) or TSC2 (tuberin) genes.

Flashcard 8: What is the most common clinical application for an ELISA?

Answer: detection of antibodies in patient blood sample

Flashcard 9: accuracy (diagnostic testing)

Answer: the "trueness" of a test's results

Flashcard 10: precision (diagnostic testing)

Answer: consistency and reproducibility of a test's results
