pyrexia

Hello all this is J. Mounika, a eighth semester student.This E Log depicts the patient centered approach to learning

This is an online e log book to discuss our patient de-identified health data shared after taking his / her / guardians signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patients problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patients clinical problem with collective current best evident based input.

This E blog also reflects my patient centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs on the comment box is welcome.

I have been given this case 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, clinical findings, investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan.

BIMONTHLY BLENDED ASSIGNMENT FOR JUNE 2021

 Jella Mounika Roll No: 51 Batch: 2019( 3rd Semester)   I have been given the following assessment to analyze and review, in an attempt to understand the topic of patient 'clinical data analysis' to develop my competency in reading. This is the link regarding assessment:  https://generalmedicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2021/06/bimonthly-formative-and-summative_19.html?m=1 QUESTION 01: competency tested for review and assessment Reviewing 10 answers in the link given above.  CASE 01: NEUROLOGY Link: https://aniganikavya06.blogspot.com/ The case was diagnosed as cerebellar ataxia secondary to the cerebrovascular accident which was supported by the patient's chief complaints of slurring of speech, deviation of mouth.              Cerebellar ataxia is due to blockage in the brain which causes decreased blood supply because of that, Oxygen and nutrients to the cerebellum are reduced which ultimately leads to ataxia in the cerebellum.  Patient hypertension and alcoholism have al

Prefinal OSCE

1.RR in tachypnea?  -The normal respiratory rate (RR) for adults at rest is typically in the range of 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Tachypnea is generally defined as a respiratory rate that exceeds this normal range,  that is respiratory rate higher than 20 breaths per minute in adults considered tachypneic. 2.why there is tachypnea in community acquired pneumonia (CAP)despite a normal SpO2 reading of 99% ?  Reasons for tachypnea in CAP: Ventilation-Perfusion Mismatch: Pneumonia can lead to a mismatch between ventilation (airflow) and perfusion (blood flow) in the lungs. Even with adequate oxygen levels in the inhaled air, the exchange of gases in the affected areas of the lungs may be compromised, triggering a respiratory response. Increased Work of Breathing: The body's effort to overcome the decreased lung function and maintain sufficient oxygen supply to the bloodstream can result in tachypnea, despite the overall oxygen saturation appearing normal. 3.Respiratory findings in Com
