And since he tested negative for all. [29/05/20, 8:50:27 PM] Post Residency PG1: What is the difference between ordinary scabies and Norwegian and which one did he have?

Here's  a peak [29/05/20, 8:38:56 PM] Student16: 1.WHAT IS THE REASON FOR  Elevated Liver enzymes and reduced Creatinine and Lymphocytes ; Frequent Change of Position recommended to the patient ; Rt sided reflexes being more pronounced than left sided ?

Hello. We had been given a few cases every week to enhance our competence in the field of medicine and taught to enhance our learning by having active conversations with our peers and teachers. This case discussion is based on Myocarditis.

Hello. I am  a 4th year MBBS student who's trying to enhance her competency in the field of medicine.   I've been given these three cases data here http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2020/05/re-case-based-online-learning.html    to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of "Breathlessness".

Diagnosis of a case begins right from when a patient enters the clinic,more so in  cases of paraparesis . Many things which are probably unsaid by the patient are "given away" by the patient's gait, ability to walk or drag his leg. Lets explore on how to evaluate a patient with paraparesis.  T he following structures are generally involved in causing paraparesis: Upper motor neuron lesion: Cerebral cortex                                               Brainstem                                               Spinal cord (axons travelling upto ventral horn) Lower motor neuron lesion: Anterior horn cell                                             ...

I have been given this case to solve and interpret to enhace my competency and as an attempt to understand the topic of  "patient clinical data analysis". You can find the entire clinical problem of the patient in this link  https://classworkdecjan.blogspot.com/2019/05/42-f-with-severe-regular-edema-with_17.html   This is my understanding of the case:   The problems that I found she was battling with the most are : 1. Even though she has gotten used to not being able to breathe properly, I would place her difficulty to breathe on the top. 2. Swelling on contact with smoke, ingestion of certain foods and instanly on exercising. 3.Migraine with aura 4. She doesnt urinate or sweat a lot. Reasoning:  1. Asthma : I suspect asthma in this pateint as she has recurrent episodes of inability to breathe which is exacerbated on exercising in presence of smoke and ingestion of certain foods. It fits because of her predisposition to atopy. Also, she mentions that she has 'l...
