Study Notes
Treatment of Arrhythmia due to Cardiac Glycoside Overdose
- In case of cardiac glycoside overdose, treatment involves increasing potassium concentration in blood to counteract the effects of potassium-depleting diuretics.
Diagnosis of Pulmonary Thromboembolism
- Pulmonary thromboembolism is suspected in a 72-year-old woman who presents with acute shortness of breath, diaphoresis, and hypotension after a total hip joint replacement, with clear lung fields and jugular venous distension.
- ECG may show sinus tachycardia with a new right bundle branch block and minor nonspecific ST-T wave changes.
Maximum Duration of Medical Certificate for Tuberculosis
- The maximum duration of a medical certificate for a patient with tuberculosis is 2 months.
Protection against Preconceived Attitudes in Professional Law Violations
- In cases of professional law violations, protection against preconceived attitudes is guaranteed by sanctions from the public prosecutor, inquiry by the preliminary investigator of the prosecutor's office, and a committee of experts.
Diagnosis of Closed Trauma of the Urinary Bladder
- The most available and informative diagnostic method for closed trauma of the urinary bladder is retrograde cystography.
Treatment of Closed Fracture of the Medial Malleolus
- A closed fracture of the medial malleolus with displacement up to 3 mm is treated by fixing the foot with a plaster cast in a position of supination.
Diagnosis of Scrotal Growth in a 3-Month-Old Child
- Examination of a 3-month-old child with scrotal growth on the right side may involve palpation of the thickened cord crossing the pubic tubercle (sign of the silk glove) to aid in diagnosis.
- The formation's elastic consistency, size decrease during sleep, and increase when crying are characteristic features.
