Part 2 book “Pathophysiology flash cards” has contents: Endocrine system, reproductive system and urologic disorders, immune system, hematologic disorders, oncologic disorders, musculoskeletal, integumentary, and connective tissue disorders.
A 46-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with a complaint of trouble sleeping He states that he lies in bed for up to hours before falling asleep but does not have problems staying asleep Further questioning reveals that the patient lost his job 5 months ago and his family has been relying on his wife’s part-time income He states that he has been feeling depressed for the past several months, as he has not been able to find another source of employment to support his family He feels it is hopeless to continue to find a job, and now spends most of his time now on the couch watching TV He has no interest in activities he used to enjoy He reports a decreased appetite but denies weight loss, problems concentrating, substance abuse, or suicidal ideations His only past medical history includes stage I hypertension well controlled with hydrochlorothiazide Physical examination reveals an appropriately dressed male with a restricted affect and linear thought process Major Depressive Disorder This patient has major depressive disorder Although there are often several criteria for many diagnoses in psychiatry, it is important to first commit to memory the time requirements and number of symptoms For major depressive disorder, five symptoms must be present, one of which must be either depressed mood or anhedonia (lack of Interest), for a minimum of 2 weeks The rest of the nine possible symptoms are Sleep disturbance, feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate Guilt, lack of Energy, diminished Concentration, change in Appetite or weight, Psychomotor agitation or retardation, and Suicidal ideations A useful mnemonic is SIG E CAPS The vignette does not describe any history of manic episodes that could indicate bipolar disorder If the patient had not met at least five criteria, a diagnosis of adjustment disorder could be considered as his symptoms were precipitated by a major life stressor that was initiated within months of the stressor and had not persisted for more than months In dysthymic disorder, a patient exhibits a less severe form of depression on more than half of the days for a period of more than 2 years A 27-year-old female medical student is brought to the emergency department by her roommate who is concerned about her lack of sleeping The patient has not slept in 2 days and has been frantically cleaning their apartment The roommate also states that the patient has been acting unusually promiscuous over the past week and accumulated thousands of dollars in credit card charges buying new clothes The patient states she feels great and just has not been feeling tired Her past history is significant for one suicide attempt at 17 years after breaking up with a boyfriend She was subsequently treated with fluoxetine for years but currently takes no medications On examination, the patient is hyperverbal with psychomotor agitation and reports that she is on the verge of discovering the cure for cancer Bipolar Disorder This patient has bipolar I disorder This diagnosis requires the presence of at least one manic episode, usually with a history indicative of one or more episodes of major depressive disorder A manic episode consists of at least week of an abnormally elevated, expansive, or irritable mood or a required hospitalization with at least three symptoms Symptoms include distractibility, insomnia or decreased need for sleep, grandiosity (inflated self-esteem), flight of ideas (racing thoughts), psychomotor agitation or increase in goal-directed activities, pressured speech, and risk-taking (activities involving pleasure with painful consequences, i.e., excessive spending, sexual indiscretion, gambling) A useful mnemonic is DIG FAST For bipolar I disorder, the mood disturbance must be sufficient enough to cause social or occupational impairment, requires hospitalization, or has psychotic features If this is not the case, but at least three symptoms with mood change have been present for at least days, it is considered a hypomanic episode and the diagnosis would be bipolar II disorder It is important to distinguish the symptoms from personality disorders, as the personality disorders are reported under axis II diagnoses An 11-year-old boy is brought to the pediatrician by his mother, who is concerned about his behavior She states he has become increasingly rebellious since his parents divorced years ago He was recently suspended for making fun of a smaller classmate and his mother often receives calls from the teacher for talking back He refuses to do his homework and is verbally abusive to his mother Physical examination reveals a slightly overweight boy, appropriately dressed with normal affect, and linear thought process without psychomotor agitation Oppositional Defiant Disorder This patient is presenting with oppositional defiant disorder This is characterized by ongoing defiant and hostile behavior toward authority figures This differs from conduct disorder in that there are not serious violations of social norms, such as physical altercations, property destruction, animal cruelty, theft, or other activities that might rise to the level of concern to law enforcement Conduct disorder also often progresses to antisocial personality disorder after 18 years of age Other considerations might be separation anxiety disorder following the loss of an attachment figure in the divorce, which typically starts at around 7 to 8 years of age A 36-year-old male is presented at the emergency department by the police because he was found standing on the side of the highway The patient claims that he felt like he was unable to move and he does not remember how long he was standing there He thinks that FBI agents have been following him for the past months, and he does not feel safe at home anymore He also admits to having intermittent thoughts of committing suicide During the interview, he mentions that his thoughts of suicide are augmented due to the voices telling him to “end it.” The patient’s past medical history is significant only for wellcontrolled type DM His vital signs on admission are heart rate is 78/min, respiratory rate is 16/min, blood pressure is 118/82 mm Hg, temperature is 36.7°C (98.1°F), and oxygen saturation is 99% On further examination, the patient displays flat affect, paranoia, tangential and illogical thought processes, and disorganized speech Urine drug screening is negative for illicit substances Schizophrenia This patient meets the DSM-IV criteria for schizophrenia, which requires more than 6 months of disturbed functioning with at least 1 month of at least two of the following symptoms (unless delusions are bizarre or voices provide running commentary, then only one criterion is needed): delusions, hallucinations, disorganized behavior/catatonia, disorganized speech, and negative symptoms These symptoms arise from a decrease in dopaminergic activity Negative symptoms (anhedonia, flat affect, avolition) stem from the frontal cortical region, whereas positive symptoms (delusions and hallucinations) arise from the mesolimbic system Typical treatment consists of dopamine antagonists However, due to high incidence of tardive dyskinesia and extrapyramidal symptoms associated with D2 dopamine receptor blockade in typical antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics are usually the first-line pharmacotherapy A 23-year-old male is brought to a psychiatrist by his mother She reports he has been behaving strangely since he graduated from college months ago He stopped socializing with his friends and now spends the entire day in his room Upon questioning, he is reluctant to answer simple questions He eventually reveals that God has been speaking to him and providing him instructions for creating a device, which will allow him to read other people’s thoughts Examination reveals an unkempt, disheveled male with restricted affect and circumstantial thought process Urine drug screening was negative Schizophreniform Disorder This patient has schizophreniform disorder The length of time of continuous signs of disturbance differentiates the disorders presenting with symptoms of schizophrenia Brief psychotic disorder denotes less than 1 month of symptoms, usually related to stress More than but less than months of disturbed behavior including occupational/social declines or negative symptoms including month of psychotic symptoms is classified as schizophreniform disorder Symptoms persisting for more than months indicate schizophrenia Schizophrenia criteria plus major depression, manic episodes, or both indicates a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder It is important to distinguish axis I disorders from the schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders that are part of axis II Cerebral artery thromboembolic stroke, 127 Cervical cancer, 232 Childhood disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, 132
