I'm not gonna add BS 4. I'm all out I'll give you the first 2. Good job! 1) non-contact injury (similar to what you describe) it can also happen with rotation. Usually I've heard people say they were "juking," as in run straight and then planted foot out to quickly change direction left or right. 2) felt/heard a pop. Right on! 3) effusion (swelling following injury) 4) could not return to play (or whatever activity they were doing) Further, you can usually see bone edema of the lateral epicondyle of the femur and lateral plateau of tibia on MRI as these slam together. Bonus question: what other structure is torn about 60% of the time with the ACL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted January 11, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wellbutrin/Zyban. Increases the seizure threshold if I'm not mistaken.. buproprion causes decreased appetite as well. And not to sound like a smart ass, just trying to save you some trouble in front of an attending, it's decreases seizure threshold. I know that you were trying to say it makes your more like to seize, but the way to say it is it decreases the threshold. Just FYI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchampigny Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 All of the above is correct! MAOIs can cause severe hypertension if eaten with tyramine foods (wine, cheese, beer etc). Zyban/Wellbutrin lowers the seizure threshold in a patient with AN A patient presents with chronic, unremitting hiccups....what is the most likely cause? Additionally, in hiccups (acute) what nerve(s) are being pinched/aggravated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you were trying to say it makes your more like to seize, but the way to say it is it decreases the threshold. Just FYI Thanks for the heads-up. Brain fart by me. Also, on the hiccups question: vagus or phrenic nerve. I've heard it could be either? Obviously the phrenic innervates the diaphragm which is involved in the jerking reflex of a hiccup. Going back to gross anatomy, I can visually see the vagus nerve has the esophageal plexus and can induce hiccups if aggravated as well.

dchampigny Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 nerves are correct, but what should you worry about if someone comes in with chronic hiccups? Think about what you just said...something is irritating the nerves.....something large, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( X drinks/day x Y years)? just realizzed no one answer this. the magic # of drinks is 7 day x 5 yrs to be at significant risk for etoh cardiomyopathy. seems like a lot, but I had a 22 yr old frat kid the other day admit to 20 beers/day for 5 years...
