Study Notes
Panic Attack Treatment
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that trigger panic attacks.
- Medications: Anti-anxiety medications like benzodiazepines can be used for short-term relief, while antidepressants like SSRIs can help manage long-term anxiety.
Endocarditis Diagnosis
- Echocardiogram: A test using sound waves to create pictures of the heart. This helps visualize the heart valves and chambers for signs of infection.
Fever Classification
- Relapsing Fever: This pattern involves periods of fever alternating with periods of normal temperature.
Polyuria Causes
- Diabetes Mellitus: High blood sugar leads to excessive glucose in the urine, drawing water into the urine and increasing urine output.
Prerenal Acute Kidney Failure
- Decreased Blood Volume: Hypovolemia, or reduced fluid in the bloodstream, can decrease blood flow to the kidneys, leading to prerenal failure.
- Decreased Cardiac Output: A weakened heart's inability to adequately pump blood can diminish renal blood flow and trigger this condition.
- Severe Vasodilation: Excessive blood vessel dilation can also reduce blood pressure and lead to insufficient blood flow to the kidneys.
