What condition is temporal arteritis (aka giant cell arteritis) related to? - ANSWER -
Polymyalgia Rheumatica
About 15% of people with polymyalgia rheumatica also have temporal arteritis and

Temporal arteritis causes inflammation that damages large and medium-sized
arteries.
Diagnosis of temporal arteritis is confirmed by a temporal artery biopsy
Pulmonary Consolidation (what is it, what does it indicate, what are signs to look for,
what does CXR show) - ANSWER - A pulmonary consolidation is a region of
(normally compressible) lung tissue that has filled with liquid, a condition marked by
induration (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung.
It is considered a radiologic sign. Consolidation occurs through accumulation of
inflammatory cellular exudate in the alveoli and adjoining ducts. Simply, it is defined
as alveolar space that contains liquid instead of gas. The liquid can be pulmonary
edema, inflammatory exudate, pus, inhaled water, or blood (from bronchial tree or
hemorrhage from a pulmonary artery). It must be present to diagnose pneumonia:
the signs of lobar pneumonia are characteristic and clinically referred to as
consolidation.
Signs that consolidation may have occurred include:
-Expansion of the thorax on inspiration is reduced on the affected side
-Vocal fremitus is increased on the side with consolidation
-Percussion is dull in affected area
-Breath sounds are bronchial
-Possible medium, late, or pan-inspiratory crackles
-Vocal resonance is increased. Here, the patient's voice (or whisper, as in whispered
pectoriloquy) can be heard more clearly when there is consolidation, as opposed to
in the healthy lung where speech sounds muffled.
-A pleural rub may be present.
-A lower Pa02
Radiology
Typically, an area of white lung is seen on a standard X-ray. Consolidated tissue is
more radio-opaque than normally aerated lung parenchyma, so that it is clearly
demonstrable in radiography and on CT scans. Consolidation is often a middle-to-
late stage feature/complication in pulmonary infections.

Stage III- breast continues to grow with nipples/areola as one mound (no separation)
Stage IV- Nipples and areola become elevated from the breast (secondary mound is
present)
Boys:
Stage II- testes w scrotum starts to enlarge (scrotal skin darkens and there is more
ruggae)
Stage III- penis grows longer and testes/scrotum become larger
Stage IV- penis becomes wider and continues growing in length (testes are larger w
darker scrotal skin and more ruggae)
**Stage I is prepubertal and Stage V is adult pattern
Precocious puberty for girls = <8 yrs
Precocious puberty for boys = <9 yrs

Importance of RhoGAM - ANSWER - If mom is Rh negative, dad must also be
tested. If dad is Rh positive, the baby has a chance of inheriting Rh positive blood
from the father.
The incompatibility only occurs if mom is Rh negative and baby is Rh positive. If this
is the case, mom receives a IM shot of RhoGAM at about 28 weeks of pregnancy,
and within 72 hours after a birth, miscarriage, abortion, or amniocentesis.
The Rh-immune globulin contains antibodies to the Rh D factor. These antibodies
will destroy any red blood cells from the baby that have entered mom's blood.
Naegele's Rule (for estimating due date) - ANSWER - First day of last menstrual
period + 1 year - 3 months + 7 days.
