    Study Notes

    Diverticula

    • True diverticula have three layers in their wall.

    Meckel's Diverticulum

    • Meckel's diverticulum is usually multiple.

    Radiotherapy

    • Radiotherapy is used to treat the affected breast.

    Urography

    • Longitudinal folds in the renal pelvis and ureter in children, as demonstrated by urography, are typical of a specific condition.

    Shock

    • Cold clammy extremities are seen in hypovolemic shock.
    • Warm extremities are seen in distributive shock.
    • Shock accompanied by bradycardia is assumed to be neurogenic until proven otherwise.

    Carotid Body Tumors

    • Carotid body tumors most frequently present as painless neck masses.
    • Embolization is a treatment option for carotid body tumors.

    Embolus and Thrombosis

    • Embolus occurs proximal to thrombosis
    • Patients with thrombosis are new to vascular service
    • Patients with embolus need prompt intervention

    Breast Cancer Treatment

    • A 61-year-old lady undergoes lumpectomy for a 0.3 cm tumor with ER/PR positive and HER-2 negative
    • Sentinel lymph node is negative, indicating no cancer cells in the lymph node
    • Next step in therapy: radiation therapy (not axillary resection)

    Breast Cancer Treatment (Alternative Scenario)

    • A 56-year-old lady undergoes lumpectomy for a 0.4 cm tumor with a negative sentinel lymph node
