    question 12 - if you are projecting temporal arteritis with jaw claudication, a temporal headache and muscle stiffness / pain -- before it affects the vision - give prednisone -- do the testing later -- do not wait on prednisone -- ESR is right but at a later time - you do not delay if temporal arteritis is suspected in prednisone administration (courtesy of a neurologist)

    Hey for question 12 about temporal arteritis. It is said that steroids comes first before diagnosing the condition as it can cause blindness.

    Question 11: Colchicine does not treat uric acid levels. It works best in the 1st 24hrs of acute gout attack as an antiinflammatory agent. But because of GIT effects, not the best choice if NSAID is an option, or if presents after 24hrs.

    Duloxetine, not amitriptyline, is used to treat fibromyalgia. Lyrica also FDA approved. Tramadol also has been shown to be of benefit due to SNRI and weak opioid agonist properties.

    Amruta Ravan, I think you're absolutely correct about giving steroids first. I'm not sure what his reasoning is for running an ESR as first line given there is high index of suspicion of GCA. While ESR would be elevated, it also wouldn't tell us anything about the specific disease, only that there is inflammation. A better choice would be to treat first, but draw blood prior to treatment to test.

      I think that is the case with a temporal artery biopsy, not ESR. An ESR is done with a routine blood test anyway and it's very quick. So you should definitely start treating before starting on the biopsy, unless the patient is experiencing amaurosis fugax, in which case, you need immediate treatment, possibly even before the ESR.

      Send blood sample for ESR and start steroids. Once we give steroids, it drastically changes ESR level, and ESR would be of no help.

    Question 6: On an early ankylosing spondylitis you need to get an MRI of the sacroiliac joint. It takes time before you may see any syndesmophytes by rx

    • @BigBossHuntelaar

      Exactly what I thought as well, on the MRI the SI-inflammation can be visualized.

      Best NEXT step is spinal XRAY. It is usually normal in early disease, and yes after this you would assess the activity with an MRI; however, you would not do an MRI before a normal spinal XR.

    I guess there is some debate, but I definitely learned that you administer a high dose of prednisone when there is a high suspicion of giant cell arteritis.

      I think u firstly start with annual dose, then ESR
      After confirmation of the diagnosis then u can give high dose (increase dose of steroids if already started)

    Wouldn't the initial treatment be Prednisone and Azathioprine?

  • @eelivia
    @eelivia 8 років тому +1

    Hi Dr. Paul, for question 19, why is the answer prednisone + methotrexate? I think your lecture only mentions corticosteroids as a symptomatic treatment.

      Behcets Mx is variable depending on the symptoms, the severity and the organs involved.
      For minor mild manifestations, give colchicine. If you see E.Nodosum/P.Gangrenosum then add steroids.
      For major organ system involvement (CNS, uveitis), give steroids + Immunosuppressant like AZT, cyclosporine, MTX, INF
      Hope it helps
      Excellent videos as always Paul!

    Nice little sleight of hand with question 8 lol. None of the options were specific for RA and so it was changed to "most likely to be associated with". Still, great video. Thanks!

    Hi, great video. Can you or anyone clarify question 12. Are you sure it's not "B" prednisone first since it's temporal arteritis and it can cause blindness if not managed urgently? Thanks
