Elderly was completely healthy except for elevated BP for the first time
A. Ambulatory BP measurement
B. Start anti HTN
C. Measure the BP two times later on in the clinic
D. Measure BP two time in hom
Abdulrahman: The answer is D (initial). According to the USPSTF and UTD, we start with measuring the BP two times at home, then give the patient an ambulatory BP monitor.

Pt female 54 case CHF symp controled on acei + furosemide just complianed of intermittent dry cough what to do
A- Stop furosemide
B- Increase furosemide
C- Add beta agonist
D- Do pul function test
Another recall: pt. On furosemide and Acei. Come with non productive cough whats the most appropriate next step ?
A-increase furosemide
B- polmonary function test
C- add inhaler
D- decrease furosemide
Abdulrahman: The choices don’t make any sense. I need a better recall, since I think the question is missing an important choice or info. So we do know that ACE-I causes dry coughing as a side effect. We have to change it to ARBs (if it was one of the choices).
- We don’t need to decrease or stop furosemide, since it has nothing to do with his symptoms.
- There are no signs of pulmonary edema, so we don’t have to increase the dose of furosemide.
- Beta blockers can cause tachycardia, which is not preferred in CHF.
- We don’t have to do pulmonary function tests, since there are no indications for it in this case.

Ped having petechial rash, epistaxis, fever, labs: low hgb, low plt, high wbc how to dx
A- Bone marrow
B- Bleeding profile
C- Blood bulture
D- Electrophoresis
Abdulrahman: This could be a case of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). ALL is the neoplasm of early lymphocytic precursors. ALL is the most common malignancy in children under age 15. Labs will show high WBC and low hgb and platelets. We have to order a blood smear first, but we confirm the diagnosis with a bone marrow biopsy. Histology reveals a predominance of lymphocytes.
Similar question: Child with arthritis , fever, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, results : platelets : is low , Hb is : low , whays the investigation ?
A- Bone marrow aspiration
B- Electrophoresis
C- Anti dsDNA
D- ANA
Abdulrahman: The answer is A (Dr. Safdar also agrees with this). This is most likely a case of aplastic anemia. We have to order a bleeding profile to rule out the other ddx. A bone marrow biopsy is crucial (confirmatory) to determine cellularity or the extent of depletion of the hematopoietic elements. The clinical presentation of aplastic anemia is:
- Anemia (low hgb in our case) due to reduced red cell number
- Infection (fever) due to reduced white cell numbers (especially neutrophils)
- Bruising and bleeding (petechial rash and epistaxis) due to thrombocytopenia.
The answer could also be ANA, since the patient has features of SLE (arthritis, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia (low hgb), and fever). Systemic lupus erythematosus can happen in children. In most cases, lupus starts during a child's teenage years (the average age is 12). It is rarely seen in children before the age of 5.

women with 11*12 breast mass, examination showed no palpable LN. Core biopsy was taken
and showed malignant phyllode tumor, what’s the next appropriate step?
a. WLE
b. PET scan
c. Chest CT without contrast
d. Simple mastectomy
Abdulrahman: The answer is D, because the size is large. If not there, go for a wide local excision (Dr. J and Dr. Thawaba agree with this answer). Schwartz:

Parent's brought their child to the hospital for inability to move his arm X-ray showed a fracture at both distal ulna and radial bone. The child looks healthy and dressed well, and has good hygiene they recall that 2 days ago the mom. dropped a plate on the child's arm and noticed he couldn't move his arm and after 2nd day the child couldn't move his arm they didn't notice any bruising so they thought it's just a strain. Which of the following is indicative of child abuse?
A. Type of fracture
B. Delayed presentation
C. Consistent story of the parents
D. the appearance of the baby
Abdulrahman: The answer is B. I actually found this same scenario in the Illustrated Textbook of Pediatrics. The outcome is that this is not a case of child abuse and the delayed presentation is the only worrisome feature that is of concern.

A 71 Years Old Male Came to Clinic with 2 Year History of Slow and Progressive Memory Loss. Patient is Able to Perform Activity of Daily Living Such as Dressing Himself. Ptient was Kind But Previous 3 Months Pa?ent is Agitated and Aggressive. What is the Likely Diagnosis for This Patient?
A- Lewy Body Dementia
B- AlZheimer’s Disease
C- MultiInfract Dementia
Another recall: 70 old male with forgetfulness, progressive gradually for years. devolop signs of aggression and violence after he was calm ,caring ,and kind
A- Lewi body
B- Alzheimer’s
C- Vascular dementia
Abdulrahman: The answer is vascular dementia and preferred if it’s frontotemporal lobe due to behavioral changes which is commonly related to that brain region. From the Review Psychiatry Questions for SMLE V2 file: The patient is still able to function and be dependent on his daily activity, the main concern currently is his behavior, so I excluded the other choices. In dementia, changes in personality and behavioral disturbances tend to develop early or late. Psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia can occur in approximately 10% of patients with dementia; these symptoms may occur only temporarily in a higher percentage of patients. 3 Behaviors such as agitation, paranoia, and physical aggression often replace clear verbal communication in people with Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, or frontotemporal dementia

27-year-old obese woman presents with right iliac fossa pain associated with anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. On examination, there is moderate right lilac fossa tenderness. Labs:
Leukocytosis. What is the most appropriate management?
A - Open surgery
B - CT
C - US
D - Diagnostic laparoscopy
Abdulrahman: The answer is CT (here Alvarado score is 6). Although, you definitely have to do a pregnancy test before doing the CT.
Similar question : 17 years with history of right iliac fossa pain rebound tenderness +ve guarding. what is the investigation next :
A- laparoscopy
B- US
C- CT scan
Abdulrahman: The answer is laparoscopy (diagnostic first then therapeutic) (Dr. J also agrees). In the full recall (couldn't find it), the patient had an Alvarado score of 7 (no other possible diagnosis other than appendicitis) and the patient is presenting in less than 48 hours. If the patient is presenting with an Alvarado score <7, go for a CT scan. This question also came up in my exam where I got 100% in surgery.
