Study Notes
Endocrine Conditions
- Study the characteristics and functions of hormones, considering them as chemical messengers. Focus on 4 key aspects.
- Understand factors affecting how target cells respond to hormones. Apply this knowledge to clinical scenarios, and address how hormone deficiencies manifest. Memorize 3 key details.
- Learn about hormone-receptor interactions, specifically cell surface receptors and intracellular receptor complexes.
- Investigate hypothalamic-pituitary-organ pathways. Review figure 40-3.
- Study feedback mechanisms related to hormones. Use specific examples to apply this clinically. Focus on thyroid hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone, and ovum development.
- Examine different types of diabetes mellitus. Learn about the pathogenesis of each type.
- Study diagnostic tests for diabetes mellitus, highlighting the significance of each.
- Explore clinical manifestations of diabetes mellitus, focusing on the 3Ps (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia) and seizures/coma.
- Understand microvascular and macrovascular complications. Review how to educate patients about these complications.
- Examine lab criteria for diabetes mellitus, including chart 41-4.
- Study Cushing syndrome, covering its causes.
Neurological Conditions
- Study neurons and action potentials, including synaptic transmission, messenger molecules, excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, and neurotransmitters (amino acids, neuropeptides, monoamines).
- Differentiate between post-herpetic neuralgia, migraine headache, complex regional pain syndrome, and trigeminal neuralgia.
- Review deep pain in children.
- Assess and manage pain in children with myasthenia gravis.
- Examine the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of myasthenia gravis, also looking at Figures 15-7.
- Differentiate multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myasthenia gravis.
- Examine cerebellar damage.
- Research Parkinson's disease, including its etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment (Tx), and review table 15-1 & figure 15-12.
- Study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), examining its etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment.
- Differentiate between multiple sclerosis, focusing on etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Study central cord syndrome and Brown-Sequard syndrome.
Other Conditions
- Study myasthenia gravis (etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and figure 15-7).
- Differentiate between different types of cerebral edema (vasogenic and cytotoxic).
- Review and differentiate the different types of intracranial hematomas (epidural, subdural, intraparenchymal, intraventricular).
- Investigate intraocular pressure and glaucoma. Learn about primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma, including etiology, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Differentiate between acute otitis media, acute vestibular neuronitis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuronitis.
- Review diabetic retinopathy in detail.
- Understand anterior basilar skull fracture, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and how to assess for CSF leaks.
- Study different combinations of increased or decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), serum p3, and serum p4, and relate them to specific disease states.
- Explore hyperthyroidism, including its manifestations, diagnostic tests, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management.
- Evaluate type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications, including microvascular and macrovascular issues.
- Assess the manifestations of increased intracranial pressure, including different levels of consciousness, Glasgow Coma Scale, posturing, various reflexes (oculocephalic, vestibular-ocular, corneal, pupillary, gag, Babinski, etc.).
- Investigate glaucoma, including its etiology, types, diagnosis, treatment, and complications.
