Preparing for?
(i.e.)
MCQs!!
+ Y5 OSCE stations that take viva structureSlide4
SummaryCombination of exam feedback and assorted high-yield/challenging topicsSlide5
Haem

Tumour
markers!
Relatively straightforward
66M being treated for pancreatic ca
Marker?
59F being treated for breast ca
Marker
?
58M w haemochromatosis and
hep
C has weight loss
Marker?
74F w colorectal ca
Marker
?
64M w nodular prostate
Marker?
44F w MEN2 and a neck lump
Marker?
Frighteningly complex. Oversimplified:
Ovarian ca
Marker?
Non-specific ovarian cyst, what do I do about it? Any score I can calculate?
Other markers: AFP, LDH,
hCG
, testosterone, inhibin/
oestrogen
Testicular ca
marker?
(bonus: but which type does this miss out)
Almost any testicular pathology,
first Ix?
(except torsion!)
Other markers: AFP, ALP, LDH
And there are more
…
S-100, chromogranin, TRAP Slide6
Lung cancerCase66M. Sees GP w cough, night sweats and weight loss. 50 p/y smoking
hx. No travel.Top Dx?Different types?
Paraneoplastic syndromes?Ix reveals hyponatraemia ? (which type of lung ca)Physical exam reveals central adiposity, proximal myopathy and multiple bruises ? (type?)
Proximal weakness, improved strength w repeated efforts, dry mouth ? (type
?)
Polyuria, polydipsia and bone pain
? (type
?) How does it cause thisSlide7
Superior vena cava syndromeCase70M. Known stage 4 lung ca. Managed palliative. Presents to ED w SOB and dysphagia of new onset (<12 hours). Stridor. Swollen face. Prominent veins over upper chest.
Dx?Other causes of this syndrome?Mx principles?Slide8
Haemolytic anaemia
Case35M. SOBOE. Ix reveals: decreased Hb, normocytic, increased unconjugated bilirubin, increased LDH.Category cause of anaemia
?Breaking it down:Associated w hemoglobinuria (causing dark urine) and may have schistocytes where is breakdown occurring? Examples:Past
hx of cardiac surgery ?
Child recently unwell w gastroenteritis
? Which organism?
Bongo drums
?
Neither of the above.
Spleen breaking down problematic
Where is breakdown occurring?
Examples:
Newborn baby, jaundice, blood film shows
spherocytes
?
Inheritance?
These are classic classifications
–
in reality there may be overlap!
(extravascular
haemolysis
can
overwhelm spleen and present as
intravascular)
29F. Atypical CAP. Erythema
nodosum
. Hemoglobinuria
What is causing
haemolysis
?
How to test for this?
Note this is only one method of classifying (can also classify by
cause
of hemolysis
–
e.g. intrinsic vs extrinsic)Slide9
Renal
Case
13M. Presents to GP w cola
coloured
urine for 1 day. Had a sore throat 2-3 weeks ago for which he did not seek medical attention. Hypertensive + ankle swelling. Urine microscopy shows RBC casts.
Name for category of presentation?

in this case?
Ix to confirm exposure to causative agent?
Which other condition are these tests relevant for?

Other causes of this kind of presentation

IgA mentioned
Membranoproliferative
glomerulonephritis
Vasculitidies
(see MSK talk)
Alport
Infective endocarditis
SLESlide10
RhabdomyolysisCase55M. DLP. Started on statin. Presents to GP w dark urine. No muscle pain. Urine dipstick shows +++ blood. Microscopy of urine shows no RBCs (
huh that’s weird).Dx?Ix to confirm dx?So why the blood on dipstick?
Key concerns?Other classic causes of this?Slide11
Neuro
CSF problems!

Papilloedema
. Head CT NAD.

Ix?
Tx
?
Case
24F. 4 hours post-partum. Had spinal anaesthetic. Describes headache worse when standing, better when lying down. BP 120/80.
Must rule out?
In this instance classic features suggest? What is this?
Tx
?
Case NPH
60M. Family concerned re cognition over 6-12 months. Urinary incontinence. Magnetic/shuffling gait. CT shows enlarged ventricles. LP shows normal pressure and symptoms improve post-LP.
Dx
?Slide12
MGCase44F. Presents to ED w weakness + diplopia. Over last 7 days. Worse at end of day. Struggles to stand from seated position. Examination shows fatigable ptosis.
Dx?Where is weakness usually most prominent?Other characteristic exam findings?Ix:Spirometry/PEFR
Why?Chest CT Why?Autoantibodies which?EMG shows what?

Psych - overdoses
Case
71F. Being treated for CAP.
PMHx
: AF and COPD. Meds: warfarin,
nebivolol
, salbutamol, tiotropium and azithromycin +
amoxicilllin
. After forceful coughing reports
abdo
pain/swelling. CT shows:
Rectus sheath hematoma
Concerned about?
Why is INR elevated?
Which other meds may inhibit this pathway?
What other meds that are
metabolised
by the pathway?

73M. Hx of depression and CCF. Deliberate overdose. Unknown medication. HR 30. BP 80/60. Wheeze.Dx
?Mx?Slide15
2M. 2 hrs ago ate a bunch of tablets from grandmothers purse as were brightly coloured
. Now has vomiting w blood and abdo pain. XR reveals radioopaque pills in stomach.Top dx?Concerned about which complications?Mx
?Potential long term complications?Slide16
While we are talking about GI perforation…44M. Out w friends drinking after large meal. Profuse vomiting. Presents to ED w chest pain. H/d stable. Examination reveals subcutaneous emphysema. CXR shows
pneumomediastinum and sc emphysemaDx?Ix?
Tx?Slide17
44F. Bipolar disorder. Presents to ED as partner thinks is behaving oddly. Confused, slurred speech, ataxia, tremor. Has recently been taking large numbers of NSAIDs for joint pain suffered while exercising. No unusual medication intake.Dx
