Acute Ml
• Q wave Ml and non Q wave Ml, both have similar long term survival
•
Always admit Pt. with new onset classic chest pain, which is relieved by sublingual
NTG, even if Pt. is young or EKG is normal.
•
PTCA better than TPA
• Thrombolytic therapy not given for non-Q wave MI. Instead use, gpllb/llla inhibitors,
just like for Unstable angina or ST depression.
Indications for Thrombolysis:
• Chest pain typical for infarction > 30 min. with LBBB
•
ST elevation 1 mm in two contiguous leads
• <12 hour post Ml
•
Pt. > 2hrs away from PTCA center and NOT in shock
Contraindications for Thrombolytic therapy
Absolute:
•
Previous hemorrhagic stroke
•
Other CVA events< 1 year
•

•
Active internal bleed
Relative
• CVA > 1 year

Immune Reconstitution syndrome:
In Pt.s with advanced HIV with low T cells and high viral load.
Started on ART,
react to latent pathogens due to inflammation (increased immunity on ART).
MAl/MTB-7 Lymphadenopathy
Continue ART

3 weeks later resents with cervical I m hadeno athv..
Dx: Immune reconstitution syndrome to MAl/MTB.
,,A"
Viral Load should be done Q month until VL <SOcp/ml and then q3-6 months.
/ T cell should be done every 3-6 months.
/ The drop in viral load should be at least 1 log in 1 month and <50 cps/ml
by the end of 6 months.

and with exertion) clear within 15
minutes, they may return to the
contest. A second grade 1
concussion on the same day
should eliminate the athlete from
competition until he or she is
asymptomatic for 1 week at rest
and with exercise.
Athletes with grade 2 concussion
should be removed from the
contest and prohibited from
returning to competition that day;
they should be examined
frequently on site and reexamined
the next day. If asymptomatic for
1 week at rest and with exertion
and if neurologic examination
findings are normal, they may
return to competition. After a
second grade 2 concussion, return
to play should be deferred until
the athlete is free of symptoms at
rest and with exertion for a
minimum of 2 weeks.
Athletes with a grade 3
concussion should be transported
to the nearest emergency
department if unconsciousness is
prolonged or if any worrisome
signs, such as confusion, ataxia,
slurred speech, or visual
anomalies, are detected on
examination. The management of
grade 3 concussions in athletes is
outlined in Table 7.
The immediate postconcussion assessment and cognitive testing (ImPACT) test is a validated instrument now applied to most athletes competing at
the high school, collegiate, or professional level. The ImPACT test provides computerized neurocognitive assessment tools and services used by
physicians, athletic trainers, and other licensed health care professionals to help determine an athlete's ability to return to play after a concussion.
Return to competition is often based on resolution of symptoms and return to baseline on the ImPACT test.

Null Hypothesis
It means that the result of the study was random or chance and not by design.
How do you know if a clinical trial result is fluke (random or chance) or real?
-7 By checking the 'P' value
Other definitions for P value;
•
It measures the probability that the results of study are due to chance alone.
•
It determines if the results of the study can be explained by chance.
P-value expresses statistical significance. P value of <0.05, which
means there is a less than 5% chance, that the study results are fluke.
If the value is <0.01, then only 1% chance that the study results are fluke.

The likelihood ratio represents a measure of the odds of having a disease relative to the prior
probability of the disease. The estimate is independent of the disease prevalence.
OR
The Likelihood Ratio(LR) is the likelihood that a given test result would be expected in a Pt.
with the target disorder compared to the likelihood that that same result would be expected
in a Pt. without the target disorder
OR
provides a direct estimate of how much a test result will change the odds of having a disease.
A positive likelihood ratio is calculated by dividing sensitivity by 1 minus specificity
=(sensitivity/(1-specificity).

•
The Relative Risk Rate (RRR) (or risk ratio) equals the incidence in exposed
individuals divided by the incidence in unexposed individuals.
•
Attributable Risk Rate (ARR) reflects the additional risk when exposed to a risk factor.
•
Odds Ratio: compare a population exposed to a risk developing a disease vs population
not exposed to the risk and developing the same disease.
or
Odds ratio i s a summary statistic that measures association between a cause and condition.

. Pt. witn metastatic pancreatic cancer. A clinical trial s owe
a new
decreased mortality rate of -1.0. Confidence interval Is-5.0 to + 4.0.
What will you advise your Pt.?
7 The results of the study are inconclusive
Qll. HIV pt has genital herpes. Risk for fetus to get Herpes is 7% witli vaginal aelivery &. 2%
with C-section delivery. How many C-section deliveries do you have to do to save one baby
rom acauiring HerP-es?
7 Babies saved by C-section more than Vaginal delivery= 7%-2%= 5%
So 5 babies saved for every hundred (-sections.

q12. On using Cf rug X mortality rate is 6%
bn using drug Y mortality rate is 3%.
How many Pts will you prescribe drugY to save one life?
