#remember

✅Patients with abdominal TB should be treated with antituberculous therapy. In addition, surgery may be warranted for patients with complications such as perforation, abscess, fistula, bleeding, and/or high-grade obstruction. In general, the approach to antituberculous therapy for abdominal TB is the same as that for pulmonary TB.

🛑Non-acid reflux
✅ should be suspected in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that is refractory to maximal acid suppression therapy (eg, twice daily proton pump inhibitor

✅Patients with suspected non-acid reflux require an upper endoscopy with biopsies to exclude alternative diagnoses (eg, eosinophilic esophagitis)

🛑Neonatal and SSRIs and SNRIs drugs

✅Neonatal complications associated with in utero exposure to SSRIs and SNRIs during the third trimester include the poor neonatal adaptation syndrome, which includes agitation and restlessness, irritability and continuous crying, insomnia or somnolence, poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, respiratory distress, altered muscle tone, hyperreflexia, jitteriness, shivering, tremors, and very rarely, seizures.
✅ Symptoms of poor neonatal adaptation syndrome are generally mild, self-limited, and rarely last longer than two weeks.

🛑 valproate (Valopric acide)

✅Conversion to monotherapy from valproate adjunctive therapy:  Dosage reduction of the concomitant antiseizure drug may begin when valproate therapy is initiated or 1 to 2 weeks following valproate initiation.
✅Concomitant antiseizure drug withdrawal may be variable,
✅one suggested strategy is tapering the concomitant antiseizure drug over 8 weeks (eg, by ~25% every 2 weeks)

🛑بالعربي كذا لو مريض كان ماشي على اي دواء من ادوية الصرع مثل carbamazepine وكنت بحاجه الى التحويل إلى دواء Valopric acide لأي سبب مثل عشان التحكم بالنوبات ...او الاعراض الجانبيه ...الخ

✅في هذه الحاله عشان اتجنب الاعراض الانسحابية للدواء قد ابدا انقص من جرعه الدواء الاول بعد اسبوع إلى اسبوعين من البداء بدواء valopric acide ,او هناك استراتيجية اخرى هي خفض جرعه الدواء الاول خلال 8 اسابيع بحيث ننقص جرعه الدواء بمقدار 25% لكل اسبوعين

🛑Use of steroids for cellulitis

✅Steroids are not routine standard of care
✅ Prednisone 40 mg by mouth once daily for 7 days may be considered in non-diabetic patients with cellulitis and multiple SIRS criteria

ع شان نكتشف مرض السكر مبكرا ضروري نعمل
Screening
طيب منهم الي مفروض نعمل لهم ومتى نعمل لهم؟
Screening should be considered for
1⃣ Overweight/obese adults with one or more of the following risk factors:
🔻First-degree relative with diabetes
🔻High-risk race/ethnicity
(e.g.African American, Latino, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander)
🔻History of CVD
🔻Hypertension (BP ≥130/90 mmHg or on antihypertensive therapy)
🔻HDL <35 mg/dL and/or triglycerides >250 mg/dL
🔻Polycystic ovary syndrome
🔻Physical inactivity
🔻Clinical conditions associated with insulin resistance (e.g. severe obesity, acanthosis nigricans)
2⃣ Patients with prediabetes (A1C 5.7-6.4%) should be screened annually.
3⃣ Patients with a history of gestational diabetes should be screened every 3 years.
4⃣ For all other patients, screening for diabetes should begin at an age of 35 years and be repeated at least every 3 years (if results are normal).
5⃣Certain medications (e.g., glucocorticoids, statins, thiazide diuretics) may increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. It is reasonable to consider screening patients receiving these medications for prediabetes and diabetes.
6⃣Patients prescribed second-generation antipsychotic medication should be screened for prediabetes and diabetes at baseline, 12-16 weeks after initiation (sooner, if indicated), and then annually thereafter.
7⃣Patients with HIV should be screened for prediabetes and diabetes at baseline (prior to antiretroviral therapy) and when switching antiretroviral therapy (ART). Screening should repeat 3-6 months after initiating or switching ART. If results are normal, screening should continue annually.


In these patients, FPG is the recommended screening method.Unless otherwise specified, FPG, 2-HR PG following 75 gram oral glucose tolerance test or A1C can be used as appropriate screening methods.

🛑Surgery with spinal or epidural anaesthesia and anticoagulants

✅Epidural or spinal anaesthesia should not be initiated or removed unless the INR is ≤1.4 and there is no appreciable heparin effect.
✅Avoid insertion or withdrawal of an epidural catheter within 12 hours of 40mg enoxaparin or within 24 hours of a therapeutic (1mg/kg) dose of LMWH.
✅Avoid heparin administration (SC or IV) for 4 hours after removal of an epidural
