October

 Monthly assignment OCTOBER


have been given the following cases to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of  'PATIENT CLINICAL DATA ANALYSIS' to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history taking,clinical findings,investigations and diagnosis and come up with a treatment plan.

This is the link to the questions asked in the assignment:

https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2021/10/oct-2021-formative-bimonthly-blended.html?m=1

QUESTION : 1) 

Please go through the case reports in the links shared above and provide your critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties around the cases shared.








QUESTION: 2) 

Please analyze the above linked long and short cases patient data by first preparing a problem list for each patient in order of perceived priority (based on the shared data) and then discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty around solving those problems. 





Q3)

 Include the review of literature around sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic interventions mentioned and same around efficacy of the therapeutic interventions mentioned for each patient. 




Q4) 

Share the link to your own case report this month of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case.

Q 5)

Please reflect on and share  your telemedical learning experiences from the  hospital as well as community  patients over the last month particularly while you were E logging their case report while even in the hospital or perhaps when locked down at home.

Changing to Competency based medical education and offline classes is very helpful  to know about the clinical scenarios . 
In this month we got a chance of history taking and went to the wards.
This is very useful for improving our skills in history taking and examination

OSCE

  PREFINAL OSCE Pathophysiology An uninjured healthy lung contains an intact respiratory epithelial layer and alveolar space patrolled by resident alveolar macrophages. Type I and type II pneumocytes contribute to regulation of alveolar contents, including surfactant, and maintain the integrity of the alveolar-capillary barrier.  Following infection or inj ury, an influx of innate immune cells such as neutrophils and monocytes migrate from the circulation into the interstitial and alveolar spaces,  • During respiratory distress, damage to the epithelial and endothelial layers results in breakdown of the alveolar-capillary barrier and accumulation of edematous fluid and debris in the alveolar spaces. Pro-inflammatory and destructive functions of alveolar macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils co ntribute to disease pathology.  • The consequence is the loss of alveolar-capillary barrier function. This disruption permits the accumulation of proteinaceous fluid in the alveolar space coupl

ADRENAL TUMORS [131 durga T]

ADRENAL GLAND TUMORS Adrenal tumors are cancerous or noncancerous growths on the adrenal glands  The adrenal glands are located above the kidneys and have two parts, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex secretes hormones including cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal medulla produces dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. There are different types of adrenal tumors, and they can be either cancerous or noncancerous (benign). Aside from categorizing them as noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant), they are categorized as functioning or nonfunctioning. Functioning tumors lead to overproduction of one or more of the normal adrenal hormones. CAUSES: The cause of most adrenal tumors is unknown. Some hereditary conditions have been linked to an increased risk of developing an adrenal tumor. The hereditary conditions include: Carney complex Li-Fraumeni syndrome Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 Neurofibromatosis type 1 MAJOR PROBLEMS: Adrenal tumors can c
