Study Notes
Types of Fractures
- Common fractures: Buckle, avulsion, greenstick, stress, compound, spiral, Colles', and Salter Harris.
- Radial Head Fracture: Often occurs in the elbow.
- Supracondylar Fracture: Most common in children, indicated by the posterior fat pad sign.
- Scaphoid Fracture: Affects the wrist/hand, may lead to avascular necrosis.
- Spiral Fracture: Typically occurs in fibula or tibia.
- Colles’ Fracture: Related to falls from an outstretched hand; may require surgery and splinting.
- Salter Harris Fracture: Involves the growth plate; Type 2 is the most common in pediatrics.
- Buckle (Torus) Fracture: Incomplete fracture caused by partial compression of the cortex, commonly found in long bones, especially wrist.
- Greenstick Fracture: Incomplete fracture that leaves a portion of the cortex intact; may require manipulation to reset.
- Apophyseal Avulsion Fracture: Apophysis torn from bone by muscle, commonly at anterior superior iliac crest and tibial tubercle.
- Toddler’s Spiral Fracture: Typically seen in children, often in distal tibia.
Secondary Signs of Fracture on X-Ray
- Joint Effusion: Indicates potential injury or fracture.
- Periosteal Reaction: May suggest healing; also known as callus formation.
Characteristics of Parkinson's Disease
- Motor Symptoms: Bradykinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, postural instability, speech difficulties, blurred vision, and dysphagia.
- Nonmotor Symptoms: Include constipation, sexual dysfunction, urinary issues, depression/anxiety, dementia, and insomnia.
Causes of Chorea
- Hyperkinetic Movement: Characterized by involuntary, abrupt, irregular movements.
- Hereditary Causes: Huntington’s disease and Wilson's disease.
- Drug-Related: Neuroleptics and dopaminergic drugs.
- Toxic Metabolic Causes: Alcohol, carbon dioxide, and thyrotoxicosis.
- Immunologic Triggers: Lupus erythematosus or streptococcus infections.
- Pregnancy and Vascular Issues can also induce chorea.
Movement Control Mechanisms
- Myoclonus: Sudden, brief muscle contractions; can be seen in epilepsy or as hiccups.
- Dystonia: Sustained muscle contractions causing abnormal postures or repetitive twisting.
- Tremors: Continuous movements; types include resting (Parkinson's), postural (essential), and action tremors (cerebellar outflow).
Wilson’s Disease Pathophysiology
- Impaired copper excretion into bile leading to copper toxicity and liver damage.
- Copper also fails to incorporate into ceruloplasmin, causing tissue accumulation.
Tanner Stages of Puberty
- Tanner Stage 1: Prepubertal changes in pubic hair and genitalia.
- Tanner Stage 2 (11.5-13 years): Development of coarse curly pubic hair and initial breast tissue growth.
- Tanner Stage 3 (12-15 years): Adult pubic hair without thigh spread, secondary mound formation in breasts, menarche occurrence.
- Tanner Stage 4 (Over 15 years): Adult hair reaches thighs, adult breast contours are present.
Identifying Testicular Abnormalities
- Testicular Torsion: Characterized by an elevated, horizontally positioned testicle, with loss of cremasteric reflex.
- Hydrocele: Presents as a large scrotal mass; fluid can be seen with transillumination.
- Spermatocele: Incidental mass at the head of the epididymis.
- Varicocele: Looks like a bag of worms; can be assessed with the Valsalva maneuver.
- Testicular Cancer: Often presents as a painless mass, with negative transillumination.
Male GU Emergencies
- Testicular torsion is a critical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
Phimosis vs. Paraphimosis
- Phimosis: Inability to retract the prepuce over the glands.
- Paraphimosis: Prepuce is trapped and cannot be reduced.
Stages of Syphilis
- Primary Stage: Chancre formation, painless local infection.
- Secondary Stage: Occurs 2-12 weeks post-infection with systemic symptoms like fever, headaches, rashes.
- Latent Stage: The asymptomatic period between secondary and tertiary stages.
- Tertiary Stage: Can occur 1-30 years after initial infection, potentially leading to neurosyphilis.
Common Skin Disorders
- Furuncle: A painful, pus-filled bump caused by S. aureus.
- Carbuncle: A cluster of interconnected boils.
- Abscess: Swollen lump filled with pus from a bacterial infection.
Atopic Dermatitis Symptoms
- Associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis; highly pruritic eczema managed with gentle bathing and emollients.
- Severe cases may require topical steroids and antihistamines.
Common Agents of Skin Disorders
- Thrush: Candida.
- Impetigo: Staphylococcus or Streptococcus.
- Varicella: Chickenpox caused by varicella-zoster virus.
Terminology of Skin Lesions
- Macule: Flat lesion ≤ 1 cm in size differing in color.
- Patch: Flat lesion > 1 cm in size.
- Papule: Raised lesion ≤ 1 cm in diameter, can be red, black, or brown.
