QID, BID, TID, LATIN MEANING

By Pratyush kumar

q.i.d. (on prescription): Seen on a prescription, q.i.d. (or qid) means 4 times a day (from the Latin quater in die). The abbreviation q.i.d. is also sometimes written without a period in capital letters as "QID". However it is written, it is one of a number of hallowed abbreviations of Latin terms that have been traditionally used in prescriptions to specify the frequency with which medicines should be taken.
Other examples include:
·         q.d. (qd or QD) is once a day; q.d. stands for "quaque die" (which means, in Latin, once a day).

·         b.i.d. (or bid or BID) is two times a day; b.i.d. stands for "bis in die" (in Latin, 2 times a day).

·         t.i.d. (or tid or TID) is three times a day ; t.i.d. stands for "ter in die" (in Latin, 3 times a day).

·         q_h: If a medicine is to be taken every so-many hours, it is written "q_h"; the "q" standing for "quaque" and the "h" indicating the number of hours. So, for example, "2 caps q4h" means "Take 2 capsules every 4 hours."

Varicose vein {salient clinical points)

By Pratyush kumar

DEF:-these are dilated tortuous veins.
SITE:-seen in lower limb commonly. other places where we can see are hemorrhoids in rectum , esophageal varices , and spermatocele

IMPORTANT HISTORY

h/o occupation:- long standing job
family history:- runs in family , involvement of FOX C-2 gene, klippel-trenaunay syndrome {portwinw stain,varicose vein, local gigantism}
h/o night cramps ,severe pain after walking :- shows deep venous thrombosis
h/o relieve of pain after lying down and raising the limb:- venous claudication {where as in arterial claudication it will aggravate the pain, in neurogenic claudication person stand and bends to relieve pain}
h/o venous ulcer at medial or lateral malleolus, dark hyper-pigmentation , eczema, lipodermatosclerosis

INSPECTION

involvement of great saphenous vein if it extends from dorsum of foot to the thigh, and short saphenous vein if it ends in politeal fossa.
morriseys cough impulse at the sapheno-femoral junction{ it lies 4 cm below and lateral to pubic tubercle, can be identified by asking the patient to flex and abduct,so that adductor longus tendon which gets inserted at pubic tubercle becomes prominent}

PALPATION

thickening of vein

TEST:-
brodie-trendlenburg test :-
empty the vein by raising the limb and tie tourniquet below s-f junction
1 ask the patient to stand up open tourniquet immediately and look for fast filling of blood column .it shows s-f incompetency
2 keep tourniquet as such, wait for 1 minute and look for filling of blood, if it gets filled it shows perforator incompetency
multiple tourniquet test:-
aim is to identify incompetent perforators
tie tourniquets at multiple levels after emptying the vein.
look for filling of blood..where perforators are incompetent vein will become dilated.it can be confirmed by double tourniquet test
modified perthes test:-
NO NEED TO EMPTY THE VEIN, tie tourniquet below s-f junction and ask the patient to walk fo3 minutes, if patient complaints pain then there is DVT, or if it shrinks then no dvt only varicosity.
schwartz test
keep one hand at s-f junction across the course of vein and with other hand tap on the vein below , feel foe the impulse.
fegans test
empty the vein and palpate across the vein , cresentic gaps may be felt it signifies perforator incompetency.
morriseys cough impulse
ask the patient to cough and feel for impulse at saphenofemoral junction ,if felt signifies s-f incompetency

AUSCULTATION

hear for bruit which signifies A-V fistula

New FIGO 2010 Staging for Carcinoma

By Pratyush kumar

Carcinoma of the Vulva

IA         Tumor confined to the vulva or perineum, ≤ 2cm in size with stromal invasion ≤ 1mm, negative nodes
IB         Tumor confined to the vulva or perineum, > 2cm in size or with stromal invasion > 1mm, negative nodes
II          Tumor of any size with adjacent spread (1/3 lower urethra, 1/3 lower vagina, anus), negative nodes
IIIA      Tumor of any size with positive inguino-femoral lymph nodes
            (i) 1 lymph node metastasis greater than or equal to 5 mm
            (ii) 1-2 lymph node metastasis(es) of less than 5 mm
IIIB      (i) 2 or more lymph nodes metastases greater than or equal to 5 mm
          (ii) 3 or more lymph nodes metastases less than 5 mm
IIIC      Positive node(s) with extracapsular spread
IVA       (i) Tumor invades other regional structures (2/3 upper urethra, 2/3 upper vagina), bladder mucosa, rectal mucosa, or fixed to pelvic bone
            (ii) Fixed or ulcerated inguino-femoral lymph nodes
IVB       Any distant metastasis including pelvic lymph nodes

Carcinoma of the Cervix

IA1       Confined to the cervix, diagnosed only by microscopy with invasion of < 3 mm in depth and lateral spread < 7 mm
IA2       Confined to the cervix, diagnosed with microscopy with invasion of > 3 mm and < 5 mm with lateral spread < 7mm
IB1       Clinically visible lesion or greater than A2, < 4 cm in greatest dimension
IB2       Clinically visible lesion, > 4 cm in greatest dimension
IIA1      Involvement of the upper two-thirds of the vagina, without parametrial invasion, < 4 cm in greatest dimension
IIA2      > 4 cm in greatest dimension
IIB        With parametrial involvement
IIIA/B   Unchanged
IVA/B    Unchanged

Carcinoma of the Endometrium

IA         Tumor confined to the uterus, no or < ½ myometrial invasion
IB         Tumor confined to the uterus, > ½ myometrial invasion
II          Cervical stromal invasion, but not beyond uterus
IIIA      Tumor invades serosa or adnexa
IIIB      Vaginal and/or parametrial involvement
IIIC1    Pelvic node involvement
IIIC2    Para-aortic involvement
IVA       Tumor invasion bladder and/or bowel mucosa
IVB       Distant metastases including abdominal metastases and/or inguinal lymph nodes
Uterine sarcomas were staged previously as endometrial cancers, which did not reflect clinical behavior. Therefore, a new corpus sarcoma staging system was developed based on the criteria used in other soft tissue sarcomas.[2] This is described as a best guess staging system, so data will need to be collected and evaluated for further revision.

Uterine Sarcomas (Leiomyosarcoma, Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma, and Adenosarcoma)

IA         Tumor limited to uterus < 5 cm
IB         Tumor limited to uterus > 5 cm
IIA        Tumor extends to the pelvis, adnexal involvement
IIB        Tumor extends to extra-uterine pelvic tissue
IIIA      Tumor invades abdominal tissues, one site
IIIB      More than one site
IIIC      Metastasis to pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph nodes
IVA       Tumor invades bladder and/or rectum
IVB       Distant metastasis

Adenosarcoma Stage I Differs from Other Uterine Sarcomas

IA         Tumor limited to endometrium/endocervix
IB         Invasion to < ½ myometrium
IB         Invasion to > ½ myometrium

question and answer

By Pratyush kumar

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS ASKED IN OUR 1ST MEDICINE INTERNAL TEST.
Q.1 - Classify aneamia. megaloblastic anemia. {long question}
Q.2 - Metabolic syndrome
Q.3-  Type 1 diabestese mellitus.
answer:-
1) def:- aneamia is defined as decrease in oxygen carrying capacity of blood , decrease number of red cell ,which varies according to age sex and altitude.
classification:-
 aneamia is classified on the basis of reticulocyte index
1> reticulocyte index <2.5 {hypo proliferative aneamia}
                      a> normocytic
                           iron deficiency aneamia
                           marrow supression
                           aplastic aneamia
                     b> microcytic
                          iron deficiency aneamia
                          thallasemia

2> reticulocyte index >2.5 {hyperproliferative aneamia}
                         macrocytic:-
                          megaloblastic aneamia
                          blood loss
                           
MEGALOBLASTIC ANEAMIA
 aetiology:-

              cobalamin deficiency:-
                vegans
                intrinsic factor deficiency
                post gastrectomy
                decrease intake
                increased demand :- pregnancy, growth spurt
                worm infestation :-diphylobrothum latum
              folate deficiency:-
               anti folate drugs:- methotrexate
              increased demand 
              decrease absorption:- crohn disease, gluten sensitive enteropathy
               increased metabiolism
pathogenesis:-
             necessary for the synthesis of dna
             disparity in the synthesis of nucleotides
             helps in conversion of udp-->tdp
clinical features:-
             symptoms:
              anorexia
               malaise
               constipation
               fever

          leukopenia
other test
         schilling test
         methyl malionic aciduria
         serum cobalamin
         serum folate
treatment
        cobalamin -1000mcg for 7 days
        folic acid - 5-15 mg for 7 days
 before giving folic acid therapy cobalamin deficiency must be ruled out..otherwise it may cause cobalamin neuropathy

2) Metabolic syndrome:-
    other names:-insulin resistance syndrme , syndrome X 
  defn:- seen as triad of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglyceamia
 seen i type 2 diabetese mellitus
  
there are two of insulin resistance 
TYPE A:- Seen in younger people
TYPE B:- Seen in older people.
investigation :-
bmi - >30
blood pressur ->140/90
cholestrol- elevated
hdl- decreased
ldl- elevated
treatment
ace inhibitors and thiazide diuretics are given
3) type 1 diabetese mellitus..
  defn:- it is a group of metabolic disorder sharing the phenotype of hyperglyceamia due to partial or complete
lack of insulin.{earlier it was called insulin dependant diabetese mellitus IDDM }
Aetiology:- autoimmune
                  genetic:- mody 1 ,2,3.4.5
                  endocrinopathies:- acromegaly, cushing syndrome ,

                honeymoon phase:- this is the phase gyceamic control is attained with little or no insulin.
                                               symptom less period..due to compensation by remaining beta cell
               impaired glucose tolerance is seen
investigation:-
              fpg->126 mg/dl
             pp> 200 mg/dl
             presence of c peptide
              glucose tolerance test
              glycosylated hb:- helpful in prognosis of diabetese mellitus 
treatment:-
             insulin infusion
             0.5-1 U/Kg.......50% must be given as basal dose
             various regimes are there:-
             continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
             types :-
               regular , lispro, aspart
complication:-
              diabetic ketoacidosis:- due to lack of insulin
