Study Notes
Dermatological Conditions
- Balding: Often associated with genetic factors, hormonal changes, or autoimmune disorders.
- Psoriasis: Chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches, commonly found on knees.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: Skin condition involving scaly, itchy patches, mainly affecting oily areas.
- Melanoma: A serious skin cancer; fast-growing and can metastasize quickly if not detected early.
- Urticaria: Allergic reaction causing itchy wheals or hives on the skin.
Internal Cardiovascular Signs
- Xanthelasmata: Yellowish cholesterol deposits around the eyelids.
- Corneal Arcus: A white, gray, or blue ring in the cornea, often age-related or linked to hyperlipidemia.
- Roth's Spots: Retinal hemorrhages with white centers, indicative of infective endocarditis.
- Osler’s Nodes: Painful nodules found in the pads of fingers or toes, associated with bacterial endocarditis.
Respiratory System Observations
- Horner Syndrome: Results in ptosis, miosis, and anhydrosis; often indicates sympathetic nerve damage.
- Barrel Chest: Expanded chest typical of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Kyphosis/Scoliosis: Abnormal spinal curvatures that can impair lung function, commonly observed in various disorders.
Neurological Reflexes
- Biceps Reflex: Checks function of C5-C6 spinal nerves.
- Babinski Sign: An upward movement of the big toe indicative of neurological dysfunction in adults.
- Visual Field Examination: Assesses peripheral vision; abnormalities can indicate neurological or optic nerve issues.
Gastrointestinal Signs
- Aphthous Ulcer: Painful oral lesions, often recurring with no known cause.
- Diverticular Disease: Formation of pouches in the digestive tract, often leading to complications like diverticulitis.
- Murphy’s Sign: Indicates gallbladder inflammation; a positive sign when pain occurs during palpation of the gallbladder.
Vascular Diseases
- Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Episodes of reduced blood flow to fingers or toes due to cold or stress.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the leg; important to assess for potential pulmonary embolism.
Musculoskeletal Signs
- Goniometer: Device used to measure joint angles and movements effectively.
- Swelling Over The Mid-Clavicle: May indicate non-union fracture complications.
- Congenital Absence of Extremities: Refers to malformations present at birth, affecting mobility and functionality.
Neck Examination
- Goiter: Enlarged thyroid gland, indicating potential thyroid function disorders or iodine deficiency.
- Brachial Cyst: Congenital, often asymptomatic swelling in the neck or shoulder area.
- Carotid Artery Aneurysm: Localized enlargement of the carotid artery that can lead to serious complications.
Pediatric Considerations
- Dehydrated Baby: Indicates fluid loss; crucial to assess hydration status in infants.
- Hydrocele: Fluid accumulation in the scrotal sac, typically benign.
- Moro Reflex: Startle reflex in infants indicating neurological development; present at birth and fades over time.
Obstetrics & Gynecology
- Goiter: Can affect pregnancy and fetal development; should be monitored.
- Lymphedema: Swelling due to lymphatic obstruction, can be a concern postpartum.
- Nipple Retraction: May indicate underlying pathology or complications in breast tissue during examination.
These notes encompass key observations and important concepts related to various medical disciplines, emphasizing clinical significance in diagnosis and treatment.
