Study Notes
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
- Use of a pacifier at bedtime may decrease the incidence of SIDS.
- Avoid prone sleep position and soft sleeping mattresses to reduce risk.
Pediatric Hematochezia
- A 3-year-old child with blood in diapers and pale conjunctiva, presenting without abdominal pain, is likely experiencing Meckel's diverticulum.
- Prior similar presentations raise suspicion for recurring gastrointestinal issues.
Postpartum Complications
- Fecal incontinence and vaginal flatus passage in a woman one week after vaginal delivery suggests recto-vaginal fistula.
- Prompt investigation and management are essential for recovery.
Cervical Screening Results
- An adult woman with ASC-US on a pap smear requires a colposcopy for further investigation after persistent abnormal results post-treatment with vaginal estrogen.
Vulvar Cyst Diagnosis
- A 25-year-old woman's non-tender cystic mass on the labia is likely a Bartholin cyst, especially if it is mobile and has not resolved with warm tub soaking.
Vaginal Discharge and Infections
- A 48-year-old woman presenting with white, curd-like discharge and yeast on microscopy likely has a condition associated with diabetes mellitus.
- Thick, odorless vaginal discharge resembling cottage cheese in a 33-year-old post-antibiotics indicates candidiasis.
Management of Back Pain and Fractures
- An elderly woman with low back pain following a cough and diagnosed with a lumbar compression fracture should initially be given acetaminophen for pain management.
Trauma Assessment
- A palpable thrill is a hard sign indicating potential vascular injury in trauma patients.
Metformin in Diabetic Patients
- Metformin should be discontinued when the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) falls below 30.
Pediatric Supplementation
- A 3-month-old exclusively breastfed baby may start receiving iron supplements next month as per pediatric guidelines.
Biliary Colic in Pregnancy
- A 10-week pregnant patient complaining of biliary colic is advised to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the second trimester for optimal management.
Appendicitis Management
- A patient with appendicitis complicated by an abscess should be managed with percutaneous drainage, rather than surgical options initially.
Serious Complications of Back Pain
- A patient exhibiting fever and inability to move lower limbs after NSAID treatment may require immediate evaluation for potential serious underlying conditions such as spinal issues.
