Study Notes
Stroke and Heart Disease
- Complications of heart disease can cause non-hemorrhagic stroke.
Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction
- Elevated serum cardiac enzymes are most sensitive in distinguishing a myocardial infarction from unstable angina or non-cardiac chest pain.
Diagnosis of Diabetes
- Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is preferred for diagnosing diabetes.
Pre-Operative Care for Diabetic Patients
- For a diabetic patient about to undergo major surgery, haloperidol (Haldol) is the preferred choice.
Parkinson Disease
- Parkinson disease is characterized by increased rigidity, potential worsening of symptoms with neuroleptic drugs, loss of neurons in the substantia nigra, but not excess dopamine production.
Alzheimer Disease
- Alzheimer disease is characterized by all but hyperlysinemia.
Posterior Capsular Opacification
- Proliferation of residual lens epithelium causes posterior capsular opacification following phacoemulsification and implantation of an IOL.
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Spike
- A patient may experience a significant spike in IOP hours to days after completion of a case if a moderate amount of viscoelastic is left in the eye.
