MM Cranial Nerves
This type of intracranial hematoma involves bleeding between the dura and skull, and involves the middle meningeal artery.
Epidural Hematoma
What is the primary acid/base disturbance of this patient?
pH = 7.34; pCO2 = 32 mmHg; HCO3- = 16.8 mM
Metabolic Acidosis (with some evidence of respiratory compensation)
This diagnostic test helps determine if a child's growth delay is due to an endocrine disorder or a constitutional delay.
Bone age X-ray
This planet is the densest planet in the solar system.
Earth
The metallic core is denser than the crust. The average density of the Earth is approximately 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter.
This person's name rhymes with "the man"
Dan
What is a brain bleed characterized by bleeding that occurs between the skull and its covering as the result of ruptured vessels. They manifest as a raised bump on the baby's head.
What is a Cephalhematoma?
This mnemonic is used to distinguish the causes of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.
Hyperchloremic: CARD (Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, Addison's disease, renal tubular acidosis, diarrhea). Normal anion gap.
Normochloremic: MUDPILES (Methanol/Metformin, Uremia, Diabetic ketoacidosis, paraldehyde, ischemia, lactic acidosis, ethylene glycol, salicylates)
A child with short stature, webbed neck, widely spaced nipples, short 4th metacarpals may have this genetic condition.
Turner Syndrome
This planet is the hottest in our solar system.
Venus (it acts as a greenhouse, trapping heat and causing extremely high surface temperatures)
This person's favorite food of all time is an avocado.
abby
Irritation of the dura by this structure, which contains major blood vessels like the middle meningeal artery, can lead to severe headaches.
What is the dural venous sinus?
Which acid base disturbance is caused by ingestion of acid, chronic renal failure, diabetes, diarrhea, vomiting of intestinal contents?
Metabolic Acidosis: Ingestion of acid, chronic renal failure, diabetes, vomiting of intestinal contents.
Metabolic Alkalosis: Ingestion of alkali, vomiting of gastric contents, diuretics.
Respiratory Acidosis: COPD, apnea, circulatory failure, hypoventilation.
Respiratory Alkalosis: Hyperventilation, high altitudes, drug reaction.
A child with symptoms such as fatigue, cold intolerance, constipation, decreased appetite and physican exam findings of slowed linear growth, delayed puberty, dry / thin hair, and goiter is most likely suffering from this condition.
Acquired hypothyroidism
This planet has a force of gravity of 24.79 m/s^2
Jupiter
This personal was once almost abducted, shot at by a tank, and than an Apache military helicopter in the same day. This person also has a 20 pound tank of a cat.
Joe
Which intracranial hematoma presents with progressive decreased level of consciousness, agitation, confusion, seizures, and focal changes. Symptoms develop slowly in some cases. Bonus points if you can guess the vessel involved!
Subdural Hematoma
Vessel involved - Bridging cortical veins.
A decrease in plasma [HCO3-] without a corresponding increase in chloride (Cl-) results in this type of metabolic acidosis.
Normochloremic metabolic acidosis
The most common enzyme deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), leading to decreased cortisol and aldosterone production.
21-hydroxylase deficiency
In the next 20-40 million years, this planet will have a ring
Mars
In 20-40 million years Mars' largest moon Phobos will be torn apart by gravitational forces leading to the creation of a ring that could last up to 100 million years.
Which small group member has sailed from the Bahamas to Florida for their senior project in high school (I bet you could never guess).
Amelia
Which type of hemorrhage is an accumulation of blood that forms between newborn's skull periosteum and epicranial aponeurosis in the scalp? This condition can occur after a difficult vaginal delivery, especially if a vacuum extractor is used.
Subgaleal Hemorrhage
Na+ = 130
Cl- = 90
HCO3- = 9
What is the Anion Gap?
Na - [Cl + HCO3] = Anion Gap
130 - [90 + 9] = 31
Which 21-OH deficiency presents with low but detectable 21-OH, virilization in girls, and leads to early puberty at age 2-4 in boys and girls?
Classic form no salt wasting: Low but detectable 21-OH (answer)
Classic form salt wasting: NO 21-OH activity
Non-classic form: 20-60% 21-OH activity
Venus
Average surface temperature is 462-degrees Celcius, and because Venus does not tilt on its axis, there is no seasonal variation. The dense atmosphere of around 96.5 percent carbon dioxide traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
Last year, the roof of this person's childhood home was ripped off during a tornado.
