Podcasts about Differential diagnosis

Over 99% of homes contain at least one allergen, with 75% harboring three to six, yet winter allergies often masquerade as stubborn “colds” or recurrent respiratory infections. This episode confronts the core diagnostic challenge of differentiating allergy-driven symptoms from viral, bacterial, or non-allergic triggers in colder months. We delve into indoor allergen epidemiology, risk stratification for polysensitized patients, syndrome overlap in differential diagnosis, and utility of location-specific respiratory allergen profiles for diagnostic testing and interpretation. Additional topics include guideline-informed approaches to environmental exposure reduction, patient-centered therapeutic strategies, monitoring of symptom thresholds, actionable counseling for managing dust mites, pet dander, molds, mouse and cockroach allergens, and streamlining through tailored lab ordering guides and reflex pet component testing. Clinicians will gain practical insight into identifying sensitizations, guiding targeted exposure minimization, and elevating respiratory care quality for patients with persistent winter symptoms.

We review BRUEs (Brief Resolved Unexplained Events). Hosts: Ellen Duncan, MD, PhD Noumi Chowdhury, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/BRUE.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Pediatrics Show Notes What is a BRUE? BRUE stands for Brief Resolved Unexplained Event. It typically affects infants 60 days old Gestational Age: GA > 32 weeks (and Post-Conceptional Age > 45 weeks) Frequency: This is the first episode Duration: Lasted < 1 minute Intervention: No CPR performed by a trained professional Clinical Picture: Reassuring history and physical exam Management for Low Risk: Generally do not require extensive testing or admission. Prioritize safety education/anticipatory guidance. Ensure strict return precautions and close outpatient follow-up (within 24 hours). High Risk Criteria Any infant not meeting the low-risk criteria is automatically High Risk. Additional red flags include: Suspicion of child abuse History of toxin exposure Family history of sudden cardiac death Abnormal physical exam findings (trauma, neuro deficits) Management for High Risk: Requires a more thorough evaluation. Often requires hospital admission. Note: Serious underlying conditions are identified in approx. 4% of high-risk infants. Differential Diagnosis: “THE MISFITS” Mnemonic T – Trauma (Accidental or Non-accidental/Abuse) H – Heart (Congenital heart disease, dysrhythmias) E – Endocrine M – Metabolic (Inborn errors of metabolism) I – Infection (Sepsis, meningitis, pertussis, RSV) S – Seizures F – Formula (Reflux, allergy, aspiration) I – Intestinal Catastrophes (Volvulus, intussusception) T – Toxins (Medications, home exposures) S – Sepsis (Systemic infection) Workup & Diagnostics Step 1: Stabilization ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) Point-of-care Glucose Cardiorespiratory monitoring Step 2: Diagnostic Testing (For High Risk/Symptomatic Patients) Labs: VBG, CBC, Electrolytes. Imaging: CXR: Evaluate for infection and cardiothymic silhouette. EKG: Evaluate for QT prolongation or dysrhythmias. Neuro: Consider Head CT/MRI and EEG if there are concerns for trauma or seizures. Clinical Pearl: Only ~6% of diagnostic tests contribute meaningfully to the diagnosis. Be judicious—avoid “shotgunning” tests in low-risk patients. Prognosis & Outcomes Recurrence: Approximately 10% (lower than historical ALTE rates of 10-25%). Mortality: < 1%. Nearly always linked to an identifiable cause (abuse, metabolic disorder, severe infection). BRUE vs. SIDS: These are not the same. BRUE: Peaks < 2 months; occurs mostly during the day. SIDS: Peaks 2–4 months; occurs mostly midnight to 6:00 AM. Take-Home Points Diagnosis of Exclusion: You cannot call it a BRUE until you have ruled out obvious causes via history and physical. Strict Criteria: Stick strictly to the Low Risk criteria guidelines. If they miss even one (e.g., age < 60 days), they are High Risk. Education: For low-risk families, the most valuable intervention is reassurance, education, and arranging close follow-up. Systematic Approach: For high-risk infants, use a structured approach (like THE MISFITS) to ensure you don’t miss rare but reversible causes. Read More

Episode 200: All About Ascites.     Jesica Mendoza explains the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of ascites. Dr. Arreaza adds input about early detection and prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Written by Jesica Mendoza, OMS IV, Western University, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Welcome to our episode 200! It is an honor to welcome back a wonderful medical student, her name is Jesica, and she has prepared this topic, and she is excited to share this information with us. Jesica presented in June this year an episode about gestational diabetes (episode 193) and today she will talk about ascites. Jesica, please tell us who you are again. What is ascites?Ascites is the buildup of fluid in between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum in the abdomen. This is often caused by cirrhosis of the liver due to the increased portal HTN which leads to increased nitrous oxide (NO) and prostaglandins which then causes splanchnic vasodilation and decreased effective arterial volume. The decrease in arterial volume then causes an increase in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the renal system which leads to sodium and water retention. This then causes a net reabsorption of fluids and ascites.Evaluation of ascites.Once someone has been found to have ascites the next step will be a diagnostic paracentesis. This includes removing fluid from the peritoneal cavity in order to determine the SAAG (Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient) score. SAAG : (serum albumin) − (albumin level of ascitic fluid). The two values should be measured at the same time.This score helps determine the cause of the ascites with a score >1.1 g/dL indicating portal hypertension usually due to liver disease such as cirrhosis. A SAAG score of 250 PMNS/mL. Fluid should be sent to the lab for culture and then antibiotics should be started. IV 3rd generation cephalosporins are typically used. Fluoroquinolones are also used to prevent the recurrence of SBP.If you desire to learn more about SBP, listen to our episode 123. By the way, propranolol is a frequently used medication to prevent GI bleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhosis and also to decrease the development of ascites. It should be used in patients who have compensated cirrhosis and must be avoided in patients with refractory ascites, hypotension, renal dysfunction or active infection. So, to wrap things up we should remember that once we identify ascites with our physical exam of the patient, we should make sure to obtain a paracentesis as these results will be the main guide for our treatment. The treatment can then range from medical treatment such as spironolactone and/or loop diuretics to TIPS procedures, PleurX or even liver transplant. Always be on the lookout for SBP in patients with ascites and always remember to obtain a culture on the ascitic fluid prior to starting antibiotics. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Doug delve into the complexities of bradyarrhythmias, discussing their recognition, causes, and treatment options. They explore the importance of vital signs, differential diagnosis, and the various pharmacological and electrical interventions available for managing bradycardia. The conversation also touches on the implications of overdoses and the long-term management of patients with bradyarrhythmias, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach in emergency medicine.TakeawaysRecognizing bradycardia involves checking vital signs and symptoms.Not all bradycardias are the same; context matters.Altered mental status can indicate shock in bradycardia cases.Lyme disease is a significant cause of bradycardia in younger populations.Narcotic overdose can lead to bradycardia and requires immediate attention.Atropine is a quick and handy treatment for bradycardia.Transcutaneous pacing is a common emergency intervention.Dopamine is preferred for its targeting of heart rate in bradycardia.Glucagon is an expensive but necessary treatment for beta-blocker overdose.Treating hypoxia is crucial before addressing bradycardia.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Bradyarrhythmias03:01 Recognizing Bradycardia and Its Symptoms06:14 Causes of Bradycardia09:02 Differential Diagnosis in Bradycardia11:57 Stabilization and Treatment Approaches14:46 Pharmacological Interventions for Bradycardia17:59 Electrical Interventions: Pacing Techniques20:55 Managing Overdoses and Bradycardia23:48 Long-term Management and Follow-up26:54 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysLink to full podcast:⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dennis3211/episodes/Prolonged-Field-Care-Podcast-228-DImE-e32aek2⁠⁠Thank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

He has run 10 marathons, with his latest being his fastest. Luke has experienced various running injuries, including hamstring tendinopathy. Hamstring tendinopathy can significantly impact daily life, not just athletic performance. The distinction between overuse and overload injuries is crucial in rehabilitation. Imaging is not always necessary for diagnosing tendinopathy. Hamstring tendinopathy is often under-researched compared to other tendon injuries. Daily activities, such as sitting, can exacerbate hamstring pain. A multifaceted approach is essential for effective rehabilitation. Strengthening exercises, particularly hamstring curls, are vital in recovery. Early hamstring rehabilitation focuses on building capacity and strength. Runners often lack strength training, impacting their recovery. Incorporating heavy lifting and compound movements is crucial. Plyometrics can enhance performance and aid in rehabilitation. Managing running frequency is essential for tendon recovery. Pain levels may not correlate directly with functional improvements. Capacity testing is vital for assessing recovery progress. Long-term recovery from tendinopathy can take over 12 months. Flare-ups during rehab are common and should be managed. Muscle and tendon adaptations should be targeted separately.  Running technique significantly impacts proximal hamstring load. Trunk position and over-stride are critical factors in assessment. Flexibility in runners may not always correlate with performance. Rehabilitation strategies should focus on individual needs. Shockwave therapy has mixed results for tendinopathy treatment. Field sports present unique challenges in managing injuries. Distal hamstring tendinopathy is less common but still relevant. Metabolic conditions can trigger various tendinopathies. Continuous learning and adaptation are essential in rehabilitation. AI may play a future role in predicting running injuries.

In this episode featuring Jeremy Heiner (Editor of the Nurse Anesthesia textbook), we dive into rapid-fire differential diagnosis and crisis management, tackling some of the most intense and high-stakes scenarios nurse anesthesia providers can face. From airway fires and venous air embolisms to anaphylaxis, malignant hyperthermia, and local anesthetic systemic toxicity, we break down ten real-time clinical situations, analyzing clues, discussing pathophysiology, and outlining critical management strategies. Whether you're a student learning to recognize subtle cues or a provider refining your response to emergencies, this episode sharpens your diagnostic instincts and clinical confidence. We also share practical insights on using crisis checklists, decision-making under pressure, and leading in high-stress OR environments. Stick around to the end to hear our breakdown of a tricky intraoperative myocardial infarction scenario—a case that might just change how you handle hemodynamic instability during surgery. You'll walk away better prepared for the unexpected.
