oligomet lung case
59 yo male already on 2L NC due to copd/emphysema.
T2N0M1 (solitary femur neck bone met) non small cell carcinoma, PDL1 40% +, diagnosed 3/2020. Bone met was in femur neck with path fracture - had a lot of tumor removed, ortho fixation, then post op 30 Gy in 10 fractions back at diagnosis.
He's now 1 year out on nivo/ipi and his only site of disease is his primary lung tumor - it went from 4 cm to 2 cm but still there. His KPS is good at around 80.
I'm thinking (and med onc agrees) it's...

Why does emphysema cause respiratory ALKALOSIS?
I get that in chronic bronchitis, the mucus plugs up the bronchioles and makes it hard for CO2 to get out, so PCO2 goes up and pH goes down. Since emphysema is also an obstructive lung disease, why does PCO2 not go up there as well? (Goljan pg 304) (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Question About an OR Incident
So I'm a medical student. Anesthesia is high on my specialty list but I'm only an M1 so I am keeping an open mind. I just want to grasp the culture in the OR a little better with regards to an incident I witnessed.
As a premed, I worked under a vascular surgeon who let me come shadow him during a AAA. This guy had every comorbidity you could imagine (or I guess not be surprised at because he had a AAA). He had HTN, Emphysema, T2DM, etc.
It's worth saying I only saw the anesthesiologist at...

Diseases not in FA, Uworld, or Pathoma
I am doing Robbins Review of Pathology (the question book) alongside my classes, and I am noticing several diseases that are nowhere to be found in First Aid, Uworld, or Pathoma. For example, "distal acinar emphysema," "arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy," "pulmonary alveolar proteinosis" just to name a few...Should I be learning these (i.e. are they fair game for boards), or is there no chance they can show up?
Thanks (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Ways to be 100% sure that a controlled substance prescription is legitimate?
I have 3 different scenarios:
Patient A has been getting hydrocodone/apap 10-325mg #150, phentermine 37.5 mg #30, promethazine /codeine syrup 473 ml, and Soma 350mg #90 every single month, with a diagnosis of "chronic pain and emphysema" for the past 3+ years, verified by her pain-clinic doctor, who writes all four scripts for her every month. She doesn't seem to have any symptoms of emphysema as her lung capacity is quite good when she shouted, screamed and threatened us for an entire 8...

Event from Call
1:45am: phone rings while on call, "We need you in the ER stat!". This is never good, as our community hospital private practice ER guys manage airways and do a great job.
I walk into the room and two ER docs are looking at a chest x-ray. I glance at the x-ray and then the patient. He is a 30-something sitting up in bed diaphoretic and tachypneic. Sats are 98% on 3L NC. I glance at the x-ray as the other docs look at me. Patient has subcutaneous emphysema in his neck and chest....

How to interpret an ECG rapidly? Part IV – The Axis
Rapid ECG Interpretation Part IV – How to identify the ‘Axis’ quickly There are two easy ways to identify the axis of an ECG, the axis in both the ‘Horizontal’ & the ‘Frontal’ planes. Generally, Axis refers to the ‘Mean Frontal Plane QRS axis’ (or vector) during ventricular depolarization. As we recall when the ventricles depolarize (in a normal heart) the direction of current flows leftward and downward because most of the ventricular mass is in the left ventricle. We like to know the QRS axis because an abnormal axis can suggest disease such as pulmonary hyp...
